About Lydia Buschenfeldt and Hatch Health & Happiness

I was a hap­py, healthy, new­ly­wed 4^th grade teacher when a ran­dom virus par­a­lyzed my GI sys­tem, along with parts of my vas­cu­lar and mus­cu­loskele­tal sys­tems. Seem­ing­ly overnight I became a young woman on med­ical dis­abil­i­ty, fed by a feed­ing tube and watch­ing mul­ti­ple parts of my body strug­gle to sur­vive, over and over again.

In the span of two years, I was diag­nosed with gas­tro­pare­sis, Pos­tur­al Ortho­sta­t­ic Tachy­car­dia Syn­drome (POTS), Graves dis­ease, can­cer, dys­pha­sia, Ray­naud’s dis­ease, Irri­ta­ble Bow­el Syn­drome (IBS), vis­cer­al hyper­sen­si­tiv­i­ty, Lyme Dis­ease, vocal chord paral­y­sis, and more. I began to col­lect new aller­gies like base­ball cards, elim­i­nat­ing more and more foods and med­ical options from my diet and lifestyle. My lim­i­ta­tions pre­vent­ed me from doing what I loved best- teach­ing, run­ning, singing, enjoy­ing restau­rants with friends and more.

I could have stayed in that dark and lone­ly place. I was mal­nour­ished, scared and des­per­ate for answers.

But I made a choice to make a change.

And you can too.

I made a choice to make a change. My med­ical osb­ta­cles are not a thing of the past, nor can I pre­dict what tomor­row may bring, but I have learned to adapt and even thrive in my new lifestyle. I am a hap­py and healthy coach. And I am ready to offer a help­ing hand to help you reclaim yours.
