When I was 15, I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease called Wegener’s granulomatosis. The doctors told me I’d need to be on strong immunosuppressants for the rest of my life. Those medications came with a cost — I gained weight, lost hair, struggled with my emotions, and dealt with skin issues. At that age, it felt like my future had been taken from me.

At first, I trusted the treatments, but I also started asking questions. I remember asking my rheumatologist if diet or lifestyle could play a role in my condition, and he told me, “No, there’s no evidence.” Years later, while I was in medical school, I realized something important: doctors are trained to treat disease, but not necessarily to create health. I began doing my own research, and I discovered a growing body of evidence showing that diet, movement, and stress management can directly influence inflammation — the very thing driving my illness.

That realization changed everything. By shifting how I lived, I was able to reduce my reliance on medications and reclaim my energy and strength. Now, when I work with others, I want them to know they’re not alone. By understanding how the body works and introducing more health day by day, they too can feel more in control of their energy, their fitness, and their future.
