Challenges

I graduated from university with a master’s degree in architecture. The еducation and the work in architecture required a lot of self-sacrifice. I organized every second. I was in the gym, at the university, hours and sleepless nights over the projects. Time was precious. I was busy but I stole every second to do what I love. I was handling everything. I was tireless and rarely took time to rest. That’s how I got an autoimmune disease.

Hashimoto’s disease is an autoimmune disorder that  that cause hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid. This leads to an overall slowdown in metabolism, hormonal imbalance, difficult recovery and no muscle adaptation. All that makes getting in shape almost impossible. You can understand how important role it has in the preparation of a competitor. But every problem has a solution! I took it as a challenge to get to know my body even better, to gain new knowledge about the immune system and overall health. I have mastered it. I learned to listen to my body and to keep myself from getting overwhelmed.

At that time, one of my dreams was a professional career as a sprint runner in track and field. I started professional prep with a track coach and became part of a national club. I aimed for maximum results. Unfortunately, I had injuries and two surgeries on both knees.
But I never gave up. I knew that obstacles test us and make us stronger and resilient! They only show us the right direction!
