Personal Journey
Born and raised in Birmingham, UK, my life took a pivotal turn when I joined the British Army as an infantryman. The challenges I faced after losing my father at 17 were compounded by my experiences on the front line in Afghanistan.
Post-army life was a struggle with PTSD, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. During this dark period, I found solace in my faith as a Muslim Sufi, which ignited my interest in self-development, psychology, health, fitness, and nutrition. This was the beginning of my holistic journey towards spiritual, psychological, physical, and emotional healing.
Career Transition & Self-Healing
In 2016, I moved to Australia and decided to shift my career from online marketing to the field of Clinical Nutrition and Naturopathy. This decision was fuelled by my passion for holistic health and was further reinforced when I fell ill with Ankylosing Spondylitis.
The journey through this debilitating condition, experimenting with various dietary interventions, granted me firsthand experience and knowledge in managing Ankylosing Spondylitis and similar conditions through elimination diets and mind-body healing techniques. Charles now favours a low carb / ketogenic / carnivore diet approach to managing the various chronic disease states he has an interest in treating.
