I have always been active. Growing up, I swam, tried gymnastics, played soccer, and eventually committed to basketball. Sports came naturally, and I thrived on movement and mastery.
But an active lifestyle also brings its risks. In 2014, during a competitive basketball game, a serious leg injury stopped everything. I could not properly walk, let alone train. That physical setback triggered something deeper — it forced me to think differently about health. I started asking: What does it really mean to recover and what fuels long-term wellbeing?
It was the first time I seriously looked into food. I discovered Paleo and threw myself into it — cooking vegetables, choosing clean meat and eggs, cutting out the junk. Almost immediately, my body responded. I felt energized, lighter, more myself. But as the injury healed and life returned to normal, I drifted. It is so easy to forget pain once it is gone and slowly, old habits crept back in.
Then years later, my body sent a louder message. I was struggling: intense bloating, stomach pain, dizziness, even panic attacks and I could not even do sports. I lost energy, focus, trust in my body. At the same time, I was dealing with deep stress and unemployment — which only worsened everything.
I tried everything I could think of: eliminating gluten and lactose, taking supplements, experimenting with all possibilities, even visiting psychics. But nothing helped — and often, things got worse. I was eating seemingly "healthy" foods like avocados and tomatoes without realizing they were harming me.
Eventually, after countless appointments, a test revealed the truth: my DAO enzyme levels were low. I had histamine intolerance.
DAO is the enzyme that helps break down histamine — a compound found in many foods and naturally released by the body. If DAO is low, histamine builds up and causes a confusing mix of symptoms, from gut issues to skin irritation and anxiety.
That discovery was a turning point.
Soon after, I also came across the Wildfit program, which shifted how I thought about food entirely. It was not just about nutrition — it was about psychology. Why we crave. Why we reach for sugar. How to break cycles and create freedom. I learned how to fuel my body without fear and how to feel in control again.
It’s still a journey. But it’s one I’m consciously walking now.
NoStarvation was born from all of this. It’s my way of helping others avoid the years of guesswork I went through. It’s a platform to share what works, what doesn’t, and what healing can actually look like. It's about Paleo. It’s about histamine. But most of all — it’s about awareness, consciousness, and freedom from food confusion.
If you’re overwhelmed by symptoms and underwhelmed by answers — I have been there.
Welcome to NoStarvation.
