For 25 years, I lived with an undiagnosed illness that doctors dismissed as something I’d just have to “live with.” They assured me it might go away as I got older—but it didn’t. Instead, the pain persisted, and I reached a breaking point where I knew I couldn’t keep living like that.

When I moved to Dubai, I decided to try one last time to find a doctor who would take my condition seriously. That’s when I found a specialist who not only cared about diagnosing me but also insisted that my body needed to be in its healthiest state to fight disease. Instead of jumping straight into treatments, she put me on a structured health journey—one step at a time.

What made this approach so effective was its simplicity. She didn’t overwhelm me with drastic changes. Instead, she introduced one small habit at a time, allowing me to adjust and build a sustainable routine. And as I focused on improving my overall health, something unexpected happened—I lost 21kg over 12 months.

In this episode, I take you through that journey—how I went from being dismissed by doctors to finally receiving a diagnosis, how I built a lifestyle that supported healing, and why small, gradual changes were the key to success. Now, in 2025, I’m feeling healthier than ever. If you’ve ever struggled with long-term health issues or felt lost in the medical system, this episode is for you.
