Then It All Changed

My body was quietly screaming for a change, yet I ​was caught in a relentless cycle of stress and ​obligation, further exacerbated by two rounds of ​antibiotics prescribed for medical procedures as I ​prepared for my wedding.

The breaking point came shortly after, when my ​health plummeted following the big day. I faced a ​worsening of my hypothyroid condition, full on ​Hashimoto's disease, and was diagnosed with both ​SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) and SIFO ​(Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth).

My symptoms were debilitating: severe bloating, ​body aches/pain, constant fatigue, mood swings, ​reactive skin, and painful constipation. After ​undergoing countless tests and trying various ​treatments, including a round of antifungal medication ​which initially seemed promising but quickly faltered, ​I felt overwhelmed and disillusioned by the ​conventional approaches that were heavily reliant on ​expensive and often ineffective treatments.

Where Was I Going With This

On the outside, everything looked fine and I seemed like a ​healthy individual but I was in constant pain. Determined to ​reclaim my health, I decided to pause and reevaluate my ​life and where I was heading. I was in my 30's but I was ​feeling like my life was coming to an end with no hope of a ​normal life in sight.

I returned to my roots through my family’s knowledge and ​practice — embracing the holistic principles I grew up ​with. I realised that true health is not just about managing ​symptoms but about nurturing the body holistically. I ​delved into research and, along with my father, crafted a ​personal wellness protocol that prioritised not only diet ​but also mindfulness, emotional health, regular movement, ​and exposure to sunlight — elements often overlooked by ​traditional practitioners.

Gradually, I began to see improvements. I was able to ​reintroduce foods previously intolerable, my bloating ​decreased significantly, and I started to trust my body ​again.

I learned the importance of balancing not just what I ate ​but how I lived, allowing myself joy and pleasure, and ​tuning into my body's natural rhythms. My bowel ​movements became regular, and I could travel without ​the crutch of supplements or strict dietary restrictions.

The journey taught me the power of holistic health—a ​harmonious blend of mind, body, and spirit. It's a path of ​continuous learning and adaptation, one that respects ​the body's innate wisdom and healing capabilities.

For anyone struggling with similar health issues, ​remember that every aspect of your life contributes to ​your wellness. Embrace a holistic approach: nourish your ​body with good food, your mind with positivity, and your ​spirit with joy.

A Way to Pay it Foward

Abundant Eyes was born because we believe it is our ​small contribution to the world to share the information I ​needed when I was struggling.

But, most of all, it is to offer effective remedies to the ​public in a way that resonates with people from all ​walks of life.

Our goal is to bring root cause cure to gut health and ​overall wellness without judgement, as we understand ​that both holistic and modern interventions have their ​place.

What started as a way to save my life, sharing what diet ​changes helped me, and what lifestyle practices made a ​difference…turned into a publishing company where we ​get to share our toolbox with others.

We are grateful every single day that we get to do this ​work, and hope to pass on the lessons that helped me ​reach a state of wellbeing I never thought I could ​achieve.

Thank you for being here with my father and I.
