Hi, my name is Leah Comedido, and I am 48 years old. I am a college instructor, entrepreneur, and interior, landscape, and fashion designer. I have always been an active person—a runner and an adventurer.
Recently, however, I have experienced setbacks that have slowed me down. I gained almost 10 kilograms and began struggling with fatigue, brain fog, short-term memory lapses, sleep problems, anxiety, body aches, a very short attention span, severe sinusitis, and allergies—conditions I had never experienced until I reached my mid-forties. Even recovering from a workout now takes much longer than it used to.
For someone who has always lived an active lifestyle and, thankfully, has never been hospitalized since birth, accepting these changes has not been easy.
Recently, I consulted both a nutritionist and a naturopath from Australia. She helped me understand what I was going through, including the effects of aging, perimenopause, environmental factors, and other possible contributors such as genetics. While undergoing diagnostic tests, I began exploring the world of juicing. I researched the best ingredients for my condition and learned which ones to avoid. I also introduced juicing to my mom and my sisters. My mom has heart and thyroid conditions, so I enjoy creating juice blends that support her nutritional needs.
Beginning this August, I am excited to share my juicing journey with you. I hope my experiences, discoveries, and recipes will inspire you to embrace a healthier lifestyle—one fresh juice at a time.
