In 2012, our co-founder Shamiz was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and spent six weeks in a hospital bed in Japan, being told he’d need surgery and medication for the rest of his life.
He wasn’t willing to accept that as the end of the story. Through a whole-food, plant-based diet, Shamiz was able to avoid the colectomy and hasn’t taken a single pill since he left that hospital 14 years ago. His symptoms became history, not a life sentence.
That experience is the entire reason High Carb Health exists. We’re not a wellness brand that discovered gut health as a trend. We’re people who lived through Crohn’s and Colitis, took control of our health, and made it our life’s work to help others do the same.
Today, as a Crohn’s disease nutritionist and Ulcerative Colitis nutritionist team, we’ve supported over 1,000 people through the same fear, confusion, and frustration Shamiz once felt — and out the other side.
