Shishir's life changed when he was diagnosed with Pancolitis in 2011. He has been on a journey since then, but last year he found High Carb Health and learnt how to take control of his health. He was given the information about what caused his Colitis and what he needed to do to let his body heal itself. Empowered with the correct knowledge, he no longer feared his symptoms and the detoxification process.

Sam has an incredible story about how he has healed Colitis on a Plant-based diet!

Sarah's Crohn's journey is a really inspiring one, listen to how she was able to heal her body by eating a plant-based diet and also working on her mindset!

Dr. Benjamin Benulis is the author of the book “Create Health: Reverse Autoimmune Disease Without Drugs or Their Side Effects”. People with autoimmune disease work with Dr. Ben to conquer their condition once and for all using diet and lifestyle.  Because most are sick of dealing with chronic pain, chronic fatigue and medications that just give them side effects.  He helps them learn the tools to get out of pain, get their vitality back, and feel like a normal person again.  Bottom line: you reclaim control of your body, instead of it controlling you.

Andrew Schembri is a professional ice hockey player in Germany. He worked with us in 2018 and was able to heal Ulcerative Colitis and come off his biological medications. It has been 4 years since he finished our program so we thought it would be a good time to catch up with him to see how he is doing.

Thanks to following the advice given to him by High Carb Health, Andrew has been able to excel at a very high sporting level as he enters his 40s. In fact, he was awarded the playoff MVP for his role in helping his team win the league championship last year (2022)!! 

It hasn't all been smooth sailing, however. In the interview, Andrew talks about how he got a little too relaxed with his diet and saw a relapse in his symptoms. We are very grateful that he has been so open and honest in sharing his journey with everyone. He also discusses how the knowledge he gained while working with High Carb Health when healing from Ulcerative Colitis meant that he did not panic and just implemented what he had learnt so that his body could recover. He never had to stop playing ice hockey and has not had to resort back to medications. 

We hope you enjoy the interview, well done, Andrew!! 

Your body is not attacking itself! It is responding to and trying to heal itself from an overburden of a toxic lifestyle!

We have been saying this for more than 10 years, and it is refreshing to hear Dr Setare Taabodi also discuss this. Like us, Dr Setare is on the front line helping people heal themselves. We had an amazing Podcast interview discussing many incredible topics including Setare’s own healing journey from POTS, Autoimmune and Digestive Conditions. It was fascinating to see how many similar observations we both had about how people heal. 

Dr Setare straddles an interesting line, being medically trained, yet also having healed herself outside of the medical system! She is a board certified family nurse practitioner and a natural medicine health consultant. She suffered from POTS, digestive issues, and multiple autoimmune conditions throughout her twenties. She was able to heal herself naturally with nutrition and herbal medicine. She now helps people all around the world reclaim their health and reverse their chronic health conditions.
