Why I Decided to Study Doctorate in Holistic Nutrition?

The decision to pursue the Philosophy on Holistic Nutrition was sparked off during an application for a trainer program. I have been a corporate trainer for yeas simply because I love this job. It’s a very rewarding job to witness people’s transformation and people growing beyond their boundaries after undergoing training.

For a long while, I gave very hard thoughts for the kind of training to focus on. Stretching to contemplate beyond livelihood concerns, I discovered that while I value the continuation of my profession as a corporate trainer, I treasure life most. And the best way to cherish life is to live it naturally. Hence, I will want to be able to share with others the secrets to improve live and health naturally.

Health and family are 2 most important treasures in life that I cherish. I love to share with friends and family on the discoveries I made about natural health. People closest to me benefitted from my advice. I am always excited to share the knowledge I learned on natural health; simple questions such as how to get a better skin, what food to eat to cure their gastric, how to increase their immune system. I took personal time to attend seminars about health; I realized I have an amazing habit to head off straight to the health and beauty section of the community library or bookstore whenever I am in one!

My relentless passion and curiosity for natural health brought me to enroll for a nutrition certification from one of the college in Singapore. I enjoyed the class and learning exceedingly. I was very motivated to further my studies on natural heath. I am very glad to find a reputable university on the subject matter.

In Singapore, my country of domicile and Indonesia my country of birth, I witnessed a growing number of friends and families suffering from chronic diseases like cancer, high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetic, severe migraine. I begin to question if we are bounded by our genetic inheritance. Can we edit out genes and rewrite the future chapters of our lives? Can a good health be an enduring feature of a fulfilled and contented life? Are age-related diseases a necessary by-product of growing old?

My inspiration is that with the knowledge I acquired from this program, I will be able to spread the good news that health problems are treatable and often avoidable with the right lifestyle and nutrition.

Drawing from my personal experience, eating healthily and exercise moderately makes me look, feel much younger and healthier than people of my age. I want others to benefit from my experience especially to people who suffer from chronic disease. Most importantly, I hope I will be the living example to demonstrate that healthy aging is attainable and it’s possible for us to age gracefully.

Having a healthy body will allow us to develop a sense of purpose and this ultimately results in fulfillment in life. And by learning about Holistic Nutrition will enable me to share this knowledge to develop others with a sense of purpose and fulfillment. I believe I will be fulfilling my own purpose in life by doing so.

First Journey of Health

Some of my friend think i am a health freak :-) Little that they know what makes me this way now. I grew up having really bad skin. Each morning is a nightmare for me because i will definitely found new pimple on my face. It wasn't so bad until I was on a long business trip in Penang where suddenly my pimple really goes uncontrollable regardless whatever cream that I use. This skin problem really frustrate me. I often walk into cosmetic counter and asking myself why can't I have such a good gene with flawless skin like these models.

I try to attend seminars, went to doctors from skin doctors to naturopathy just to find a way to get flawless skin that I dream to have someday. Spent fortune to try every skin care that everyone said is good, only to be dissapointed again and again.

When i went to Shanghai 2 years a go for 3 months to study Chinesse, I make resolution with myself that I will take a good care of my skin. But it was a nightmare!! Few weeks after my stay, my skin flare up, and pimple keep popping up uncontrollable. I tried to get any skin care, even buy some mask advertise in the TV, only to be dissapointed again again.

Because of this skin problem, i am very careful with what i eat. No sweet stuff, no much meat, junk food is a no no for me, often goes for detox in the hope that someday i will find the secret of a flawless skin. Now i have my 'problematic skin' to thank for. Because of this problem, i start my journey to a healthier life style. I attend seminars about health, read books about beauty and health & even attend health retreat few times to understand how do our body works. The last thing that i do was attending Nutrition course in the poly. I learn what is the best nutrition for the body, how good is the supplement, what is the balance meal, how to read food label, what happen with the food that we food. I found human body is soo amazing and i can see how great has God created us with so much self healing system in our bodies.

And during course and research, I found out how much I had danger my body from the skin doctor that i visit. They prescribe antibiotic, R0accutance, tretinoin, etc to heal acne and improve skin condition. Little that i know that those medication bring so much damage in our body and soul. Some of this medicine will even bring depression to the point of suicidal mode, and harm the baby when they get pregnant. I am so glad that I found out earlier and do not want to seek for this kind of short cut treatment anymore.

I start to experiment with the healthy life style. When i said life style, it means it's a life style..not 1 or 2 months diet, and goes back to the lifestyle that we had previously.

Now i can proudly say to myself that i have the best skin ever in my life. Although my skin still don't look like SKII models, but i am so proud of it, and never worry about waking up with another pimple or wrinkle on my face. I think I have found a little secret of the flawless skin.
