I Destroyed My Gut Health & Nervous System... And This Is How I'm Healing It

Описание: It's been a while since I posted a video. I took some time off social media and content creation to focus on slowing down and healing my health. This video was filmed in November 2024 in Ko Samui, Thailand.

In the summer of 2024, I started getting painful cystic acne, dermatitis, and digestive issues, and my anxiety/depression started to become unmanageable. I spent thousands of dollars working with health specialists to figure out what was wrong. After months of tests, consulting with various professionals, and many hours of research, I've found multiple root causes.

Sometimes we overlook subconscious behaviours and habits that don't seem like a big deal in the moment. Overtime, things we do in our daily life or the way we go about our days, can stack and spiral into a larger issue.

This video is for anyone who may be going through similar issues, but even more so for those who tend to be more type A personality or grew up placing heavy pressure on themselves to do well in life (ie. career, fitness, etc).
