Dominika's Story
After moving from Poland to the U.S. at age nine, I developed multiple health conditions, including psoriasis, IBS, and PCOS, that doctors couldn't effectively treat. When my daughter was born, she quickly developed colic. Since I was breastfeeding, I tried an elimination diet of just turkey, pears, and water - which surprisingly improved both her symptoms and many of my own health issues.
This discovery led me through various dietary experiments, ultimately finding significant relief through the Medical Medium's Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie, which completely healed my psoriasis. Now at 37, I work as a Postpartum Doula and Certified Remote Wellness Practitioner, though I emphasize that I'm not a medical doctor.
The lesson I learned: Many common products and foods in the U.S. may contain harmful ingredients that affect our health, even those marketed as "clean" or "safe." While I'm not 100% healthy, through my relentless pursuit of answers about my family's health conditions, I learned the importance of educating ourselves about what we consume and use on our bodies and how to remove that which doesn't belong.
Why She Took Her Power Back
She Took Her Power Back was born out of a deeply personal journey—one filled with struggles, resilience, and ultimately, empowerment. My mission is to share what I’ve learned with others who feel stuck in their own health struggles. I believe that knowledge is power and that everyone deserves to feel empowered to take control of their well-being. Whether you’re dealing with a chronic condition, frustrated with conventional treatments, or simply looking for a more holistic approach to health, I hope my stories inspire you to explore alternative paths. Healing is a journey, not a destination, but with patience and determination, it’s one that can lead to incredible transformation.
When I discovered the power of nature and the body’s incredible ability to heal itself when given the right tools. I learned to focus on nourishing my body with wholesome foods, managing stress through mindfulness and movement, and replacing harmful treatments with natural remedies. Slowly but surely, I began to see results—not just in my physical health, but in my mental and emotional well-being as well.
This journey taught me a profound lesson: reclaiming your health is about reclaiming your power. For so long, I felt powerless, stuck in a system that didn’t prioritize true healing. But when I took control of my health, I also took control of my life. This realization inspired me to create She Took Her Power Back as a space to share my story and connect with others on similar journeys.
