From Struggles to Solutions: My Personal Health Journey

Ever been on a medical rollercoaster? Well, let me share my ticket to this wild ride.

My 20s were like a game show of "Guess that Diagnosis!" I was tagged with everything from a fungal infection to psoriasis. Five different doctors, five different stories.

One night, tucked under my duvet and fueled by curiosity (and maybe some caffeine), I stumbled upon something called Dermatitis Herpetiformis. A big name that linked my issues to celiac disease.

Initially, I thought munching on "healthy bread" was playing it safe. Spoiler: It wasn’t. But after a few food missteps and a lot of learning, I finally unlocked the mystery: I had the genes for celiac along with a food intolerance to wheat, dairy, and egg whites.

My journey started with dietary changes, then came the supplements and the microbiome testing.

My sinus issues disappeared, my psoriasis is now non-existent and I no longer get chronic staph infections that require antibiotic treatment.

With all my ups and downs, I felt driven to help others dodge the medical mayhem. I realised that so many people had a similar story to mine and that's how Humanli Wellness came to life. It's my brainchild, an online hub dedicated to those seeking a more holistic health journey.

It’s for people who share my belief that the body always wants to heal, we just have to provide the right environment/input.

If my tale feels a tad too familiar, remember: you're not alone. We all have our health narratives and I’d love to know yours.

Just respond directly to this email and tell me your story.

In the meantime, here are some interesting facts on resistance training:

• Spending 30-60 minutes a week on strength exercises can cut down overall mortality rates by 10–17%.

• Those who engage in strength workouts clock in an additional 40 minutes of sleep/night, compared to the 23 minutes added by aerobic enthusiasts.

• Resistance training (regardless of strength gains) diminishes depression and anxiety in adults while delaying the onset of Alzheimer’s.

Have a great week!
