Meet Morgan, An Integrative Practitioner and Founder of Three Pillars Wellness
Morgan was sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, she knew her symptoms were not normal. How many times have you gone to the doctor and been told everything is fine? For Morgan, this was a common occurrence until she saw her first integrative provider who ran holistic testing to address the root cause of her symptoms. Spoiler alert: she had a parasite, severe food intolerances, hypothyroid, gut issues, and systemic inflammation. The combination of these undiscovered conditions propelled her on a lifelong journey to discover wellness in her everyday life.
Although healing took her a few years [nothing worthwhile is a quick fix], she feels confident her experience has allowed her to better serve her current and future clients on their journey to optimal health.
After years of learning by doing, Morgan decided to put her passion into educating herself to become a Holistic Nutrition Consultant and Restorative Wellness Solutions Practitioner. She now works with women across Chicago and the U.S. to help them discover the true root cause of healing chronic gut issues via her business, Three Pillars Wellness.
For Morgan, discovering health and the balance in her body, mind, and spirit took time. There was no overnight “cure” that we are so often prescribed. This shift came from small adjustments that led to her feeling at ease and peace with herself. She no longer relied on external cues of validation and listened to the food her body craved. She shares this as someone who has experienced disordered eating, food intolerances, and a host of other stomach issues. You too can find peace with your body, mind, and spirit and learn to honor your health.
TPW’s Health Philosophies
The body cannot heal in a stressed environment - stress can cause a host of issues from bloating, digestive issues to chronic inflammation, stress must be addressed when looking to achieve optimal health
Healing isn’t linear - healing takes time and patience is key, knowing this ahead of time allows for a more accurate representation of the healing journey
Health is multifaceted as are the reasons why symptoms arise, we must peel them back like an onion - rarely is there one driver behind symptoms, multiple dysfunctions in the body can lead to symptoms and it’s important to uncover all of the drivers
You cannot out supplement a bad diet - taking supplements is a critical part of retraining the body to function optimally, but if nutrition is lacking, supplements alone will not fix the underlying issue
Symptoms do not lie - yes, you are validated in feeling any symptoms that you are experiencing and if your provider does not agree, find a new one
Finding a support system is critical - this is arguably the most important philosophy, if you do not have a support system, it makes changing that much harder, this is why Morgan is so passionate about meeting with clients regularly to support them during their journey to ensure optimal outcomes
Morgan aims to support clients in living their healthiest lives by discovering the root cause of symptoms and utilizing natural resources like organic foods, herbs, mindful movement, and stress management to fuel our bodies.
