From Sick Care to Health Care: My Journey from Hospital Work to Hope

Last month marked a significant shift in my practice as I said goodbye to the hospital we have served for over eight years. We worked inside the walls of an acute hospital—some of the many frontline clinicians trying to make a difference in people’s lives. But over time, the truth became too loud to ignore: we weren’t helping people get better. We were watching them suffer, slowly and painfully, with entirely preventable conditions.

After treating patients whose bodies had been ravaged by years—decades—of metabolic dysfunction. We watched as toes turned gangrenous, legs were amputated, memories faded beyond recognition, and once-vibrant people were reduced to shells of who they used to be. Many had type 2 diabetes so advanced that it had stolen their limbs, their minds, and their hope. What broke me most was the helplessness I felt. We were prolonging lives, yes—but not living. Their suffering was stretched out by polypharmacy, invasive interventions, endless hospital admissions, and a conveyor belt of medical specialists. No one ever got better. They were simply surviving... until they weren’t.

I didn’t leave the hospital because I stopped caring. I left because I care too much.

I realised I could no longer participate in a system designed to manage disease, not heal it. The "sick care" model does not reward prevention. It doesn’t empower patients to take back control of their health. It medicates, monitors, and maintains—but it rarely transforms. I know that I am capable of more. I want more—for myself, and for the people I serve.

I chose to leave that system, not because I gave up—but because I was ready to fight for something different.

My true calling is health care. Not the kind you find in a hospital bed, but the kind that begins at home—on a plate, in a mindset, and in a lifestyle.

I believe in the body’s ability to heal when given the right environment. I believe that real, whole food is the most powerful medicine available to us. That movement, community, sleep, purpose, and nourishment can do more to reverse chronic disease than any prescription ever could. And I believe that it’s not too late—if we act before it’s too late.

My mission now is prevention. Transformation. Education. Empowerment. I want to help people long before they end up in a hospital bed. I want to give them the tools to reclaim their vitality and health, to step out of fear and dependency, and into strength and resilience.

Not everyone is ready to change. I know that. But for the ones who are—those brave enough to choose a different path—I am here. And I am all in.

We are what we eat. It really is that simple. When we return to food that fuels rather than harms, we return to real health. My work now is to show others that healing is not only possible—it’s powerful, and it starts with the very next bite.

If you’re reading this and you’re tired of feeling unwell, trapped in cycles of medication, exhaustion, weight gain, inflammation, pain or fear about where your health is heading — you don’t have to walk that path alone. There is another way.
