Kristy is a Natural Health & Fitness Coach who loves being active and in the outdoors. She had a BSc in Biology and an MSc in Natural Health a certified Holistic Nutritionist, Personal Trainer and Life Coach. She lives on large acreage in the country in Southern Ontario, Canada.
A decade ago, she went from participating in a 70.3 Ironman triathlon to bedridden and barely being able to walk. It all started while on a 300+km solo hike where she was exposed to several ticks, one in particular that badly infected her with Lyme and other co-infections. Years of specialists and tests could not uncover the problem while her health continued to deteriorate
She was informed she had been infected with Lyme and would have to live with this chronic immune deficiency disease for the remainder of her life. It had infected and deteriorated her heart, muscles, tissue, brain, and nervous system, among other health impacts.
She refused to accept this fate. Not only did she put into action everything she knew, but she also had to challenge herself to find more healing and energy. She eventually understood health and recovery in a new dimension through much trial and error, allopathic and alternative treatment, research, and self-reflection. Her insistence on understanding the coordination between the body and mind and how our natural intuition plays a role led her to find the health and happiness she desired.
Throughout the ordeal of repairing her health, Wood-Giles wrote about her journey, which has resulted in her book Two-Week Window. Her incredible insight and drive find her sharing her knowledge daily and living as an example of how to thrive in life.
She is now back training for endurance triathlons, coaching others to do the same, and her greatest joy is helping many find health and happiness that they never dreamed possible. She is focused on full body health and wellness that includes movement, nutrition, vitamins & mineral supplementation, emotion wellness and empowerment. She is so grateful for the opportunity to share her knowledge, background, and experience to help others because we are all meant to thrive in life.
