“I started CLRW based on my own health journey. In 2016, I learned, or realized, that the standard American lifes was not working for me anymore. Our medical system had left me with little to no answers to my continuous health problems and deteriorating health, so I turned towards my #1 character strength - Love of Learning. I started digging, researching, and experimenting on myself, looking for a better way of life. At age 39, I had been diagnosed with early onset dementia, was allergic to almost everything, and spent most days in bed exhausted and in pain… this was not living! I was determined to find a better way. I was grateful for God giving me breath and allowing me to still breath. I promised him that if he would let me do more, I would figure this out, I would heal myself, heal my son, then go back to school so I could empower others do the same… That is exactly what I did! I am happy to say that I am happier and healthier than I have ever been in my entire life - in Body, Mind, and Soul.

I now take the best of what I have learned, what I continue to learn, and I pass that on to my clients... assisting them on their journey to true health. to Living a life of Authenticity, of Purpose… going beyond surviving and beyond thriving. It’s been a true joy to guide and to empower others to take control of their health and of their life so they may too find not only health, but peace and happiness along the way.” - Elena

My Health Journey

I started the Clean Life Real World Instagram page in 2017 as a way to share what I was learning throughout my own health journey. At the time, I didn’t know what was making me sick but I knew Clean Living was imperative.

In my adult years, I began dealing with a multitude of issues from chronic allergies/sinusitis, stomach issues, female problems, anxiety, or depression, often tired and catching all the random “bugs” that went around. By 2019, at the age of 39, I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome leading to difficulty getting out of bed daily, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome with high amounts of allergies, and limited foods to eat (allergic 69 out of 72 items on a back test), every part of my body ached… you get the picture. I was not living - I was surviving.

Through extensive research and awareness, I discovered I was in control of my health, I could change things & I could heal my body!

In 2016, I had a sinus infection that lasted for 6 months and led to a 7-hour surgery. This became the catalyst for me to get serious about Clean Eating and a clean lifestyle... removing as many toxins and chemicals from my life that I could control.

My clean eating journey led to trying almost every healing diet protocol there was: from Candida Diet, Specific Carb Diet (SCD), Autoimmune Diet (AIP), Low Histamine Diet, Mold Free Diet, Low Sulfur Diet, Low FOD-MAP, Gluten Free, Dairy Free to Paleo. These all had a place and time in my healing, but I learned that diets, clean food, and clean products sometimes are NOT enough.

For me, mold toxicity was the culprit… but it is never one thing. Mold was just the straw that broke the camel’s back and sent my glass into major overflow! As I explain in The Glass Theory, our body is like a glass of water and the water is everything we put in it, good and bad. Our glass can only hold so much until one day, it overflows and we get sick. In order to reclaim my health, I learned that I needed to “drain my glass” by addressing ALL aspects of my being: physical, emotional, and spiritual (see the Pyramid of Health).

Living a Clean Life in the Real World means keeping the glass low and the drain open, so that we may enjoy this life to our fullest.

My hope for Clean Life Real World is that others can benefit from the knowledge and experiences I have gained through my personal health journey. I believe that Clean Living can be achieved and that it is possible in the real world!

Wishing you wellness!
