Melissa Hartwig Urban: from hero in addict to Whole 30 founder
梅麗莎·哈特威格·厄本：癮君子到Whole 30創(chuàng)立者
After years of feeling lost, she found herself through healthy eating—and launched a movement
在多年的失落之后，她通過健康飲食找到了自我，并發(fā)起了一場(chǎng)運(yùn)動(dòng)
In the calm, cozy living room of her Salt Lake City home, Melissa Hartwig Urban is sitting pretty.
在鹽湖城(Salt Lake City)安靜舒適的起居室里，梅麗莎·哈特威格·厄本(Melissa Hartwig Urban)端坐著。
Ten years after she cofounded Whole 30—a diet plan that's gained an obsessive following—she has a new book (her eighth), a weekly podcast and loves her life with a 6-year-old son and her boyfriend of three years, Brandon Talbot.
10年前，她與人共同創(chuàng)立了Whole 30，這是一個(gè)減肥計(jì)劃，獲得了狂熱的追捧。10年后，她出了一本新書(她的第八本)，周更播客，享受自己與6歲兒子和交往3年的男友布蘭登·塔爾博特(Brandon Talbot)共同生活。
"I never could have predicted things would turn out this way," she says. That's because Hartwig Urban, 45, now a certified sports nutritionist, was not always the picture of health.
“我從來沒有預(yù)料到事情會(huì)變成這樣，”她說。這是因?yàn)?5歲的哈特維格·厄本(Hartwig Urban)現(xiàn)在是一名認(rèn)證的運(yùn)動(dòng)營養(yǎng)學(xué)家，她并不總是健康的化身。
For five years she was addicted to heroin. "I felt worthless, but now I feel like my addiction was setting me up for this path."
她吸食海洛因成癮達(dá)五年之久。“我覺得自己毫無價(jià)值，但現(xiàn)在我覺得我的毒癮讓我走上了這條路。”
The similarities between food and drugs—how people use them "to comfort, reward, self-soothe, punish," she says—helped form her business.
食物和毒品的相似之處——人們使用它們來“安慰、獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)、自我安慰、懲罰”，她說——幫助她建立了自己的事業(yè)。
Growing up in Nashua, N.H., with a stay-at-home mom and a father who worked two jobs, Hartwig Urban "had everything going for me in terms of financial support, family stability and good grades. It was all very vanilla."
哈蒂威格·厄本在新罕布什爾州納舒厄長大，有一個(gè)全職媽媽和一個(gè)打兩份工的父親。她“在經(jīng)濟(jì)支持、家庭穩(wěn)定和學(xué)習(xí)方面，都很順利，都是香草味的。”
But in the early '90s, she says, she was sexually assaulted by a relative and was disappointed by her family's response. "I don't think they knew how to process it," she says.
但她說，在90年代初，她遭到一名親戚的性侵犯，她對(duì)家人的反應(yīng)感到失望。“我認(rèn)為他們不知道如何處理這件事，”她說。
Feeling "abandoned and unheard," she decided to try marijuana at 18, just before becoming a premed student at the University of New Hampshire.
18歲時(shí)，她覺得自己“被遺棄了，無人理睬”，于是決定嘗試吸食大麻，那是在成為新罕布什爾大學(xué)醫(yī)學(xué)預(yù)科學(xué)生之前。
"I was like, 'This is what I've been missing.' " Before long Hartwig Urban was regularly using ecstasy, heroin, psychedelics and pills—and she began cutting, which gave her "a sense of relief and then crippling depression."
“我當(dāng)時(shí)想，‘這就是我錯(cuò)過的東西。’”不久，哈特維希·厄本開始定期服用搖頭丸、海洛因、致幻劑和藥丸，她開始自殘，這給了她“一種解脫感，然后是嚴(yán)重的抑郁癥”。
She dropped out of college, got a job as an administrative assistant for an insurance company and soon realized her life was spiraling out of control.
她從大學(xué)輟學(xué)，在一家保險(xiǎn)公司找了一份行政助理的工作，很快就意識(shí)到她的生活正在失去控制。
"I was either going to go to jail or die," says Hartwig Urban. After two stints in rehab, "I felt very lost, but I knew that I had so much in my life that I had to rebuild."
“我要么進(jìn)監(jiān)獄，要么去死，”哈特威格·厄本說。在兩次接受康復(fù)治療后，“我感到非常失落，但我知道我的生活中有太多東西需要重建。”
Time, therapy and a fortuitous day at the gymchanged everything. In 2009, after a grueling CrossFit session, her exhusband Dallas Hartwig "proposed cleaning up our diet.
時(shí)間、治療和幸運(yùn)的一天改變了一切。2009年，她的前夫達(dá)拉斯·哈特威格(Dallas Hartwig)在一次艱苦的體能訓(xùn)練后，“提議改善我們的飲食。
I said, 'Yeah, when do you want to start?' He said, 'How about right now?' " The couple—who divorced in 2015—designed a 30-day elimination diet and the Whole 30 was born.
我說，‘好啊，你想什么時(shí)候開始？他說，“現(xiàn)在怎么樣?”2015年離婚的夫婦設(shè)計(jì)了30天的飲食排除法，于是Whole 30飲食法誕生了。
"My sleep improved, my mood was better and I had more energy," says Hartwig Urban.
哈特威格·厄本說：“我的睡眠質(zhì)量提高了，心情變好了，精力也更充沛了。”
After a month of giving up sugar, dairy and grains, "you reintroduce those foods one day at a time, very carefully, to find out what doesn't agree with you."
在一個(gè)月不吃糖、奶制品和谷物后，“你每天都要非常小心地重新攝入這些食物，以找出哪些不適合你。”
While critics claim that the method is too restrictive or not sustainable, Hartwig Urban says it's "not meant to continue forever. You have to figure out what works for you."
盡管批評(píng)人士稱這種方法限制太多或不可持續(xù)，但哈特威格·厄本表示，這種方法“并不意味著永遠(yuǎn)持續(xù)下去。你必須弄清楚什么對(duì)你有用。”
With the kind of unpredictable schedule that comes with success, Hartwig Urban is grateful to have one constant in her life—her son: "He changed everything. I became more patient, and that spilled into every area of my life."
隨著成功而來的是那種不可預(yù)測(cè)的日程安排，哈特威格·厄本(Hartwig Urban)很感激自己的生活中有一個(gè)不變的東西——她的兒子：“他改變了一切。我變得更有耐心了，這影響到了我生活的方方面面。”
She's grateful for her relationship with Talbot too. "I never had someone who I felt like I could lean on for the good stuff and the hard stuff," she says of her boyfriend.
她也很感激她和塔爾伯特的關(guān)系。“從來沒有一個(gè)人，讓我覺得我可以依靠他，無論是好是壞，”她談到她的男朋友時(shí)說。
"It's incredible to feel like someone's proud of what I'm doing." Urban gives herself credit as well: "I'm super proud. I've come into my own."
“感覺有人為我所做的事感到自豪，這是不可思議的。”厄本也對(duì)自己的表現(xiàn)表示贊賞：“我非常自豪。我已經(jīng)有了自己的風(fēng)格。”
