MY JOURNEY FROM HATING MYSELF TO MY JOURNEY FROM HATING MYSELF TO FALLING IN LOVE WITH MYSELF
From being fat, depressed, suicidal, unattractive, financially broke, constipated, and exhausted all the time, I have come to a point I've ever felt more mentally and physically healthy in my entire life.
As a kid, I was an anemic, underweight sickly child with very poor immunity. I would have frequent sinus infections and skin rashes. I remember suffering from chronic intestinal parasites too as a child. When I was 15, I had a major accident (which put me in a coma for a day) and I suffered from traumatic brain injury
To get over my social anxiety and to fit in with my peers, I got addicted to junk food- instant noodles, colas, and candy. That was the beginning of my journey into obesity.
My Rock Bottom
I hated looking at myself in the mirror and started smoking to numb the pain. I would have frequent energy crashes (I didn’t know I was insulin resistant and pre-diabetic). I was already dependent on tea, but with these energy crashes, I got addicted to coffee as well just so that I could get through the day. Along with chronic daytime sleepiness, I now had persistent brain fog that would clear up only temporarily when I had tea or coffee.
Here’s Where The Good Stuff Began
I uncovered simple solutions like harnessing the power of food to reverse these problems. I redefined my relationship with food and in doing so redefined my relationship with life itself. I soon realized that a lot of people were going through health issues like I had and no one was addressing this with any care or authenticity. 3 years ago I decided to launch Thrive so that I could offer these simple solutions for permanent good health to anyone who wanted them. With Thrive my toughest moment has been to prove that an effective alternative to the conventional healthcare system exists. My biggest success has been that people believed in my model and started trusting me to take care of their health.
And Here We Are To My Present Day
I wouldn’t trade these experiences for anything else. The last three years have been the most fulfilling years of my life. I am grateful for the kindness that random strangers and close friends have showered me with during this time, it only makes me want to give back more to this world.
In 2018, after having worked with 100’s of people I began to envision healing 1 Million people, but I knew I couldn’t do it on my own so I asked the Universe for help, and not only did I receive funding but also managed to bring together a brilliant team of nutritionists that are doing a phenomenal job in helping people reverse chronic health conditions. My goal is to position ThriveFNC as the gold standard in healthcare and a trusted brand valued for its radical honesty and deep integrity.
