What made you decide to change your way of eating?

I've always been a "healthy" eater, but it wasn't until I started feeling pretty lousy in college going into my nutrition studies, that I decided to take matters into my own hands. I had suffered from migraines that I couldn't shake, digestive issues, and hormonal imbalances- it wasn't until I actively started eating foods from the ground (whole foods), eliminating processed foods/ingredients, cutting out gluten and dairy (for intolerance purposes), and managing my stress levels that everything fell into place!
