My Whole Body Turned Purple—and No One Knew Why. 😱😱😱
Imagine going to 40, maybe 50 doctors, and still having no answers. That was my reality.
I was juggling everything—going up for partnership, navigating a divorce, and grieving the loss of my aunt. Stress hit hard, and my body literally turned purple.
But none of the specialists could diagnose me. Not one. Despite running every test imaginable, they couldn’t tell me why my hair was falling out, why my skin had turned purple.
It turns out, it took a homeopathic doctor in India, Dr. A Banerjhee, ( amazing man ❤️) to figure out my white blood cells were attacking my skin. The diagnosis? Lichen planus.
I remember channeling my inner Samantha from Sex and the City, marching into the office of one of the top specialists in London, Dr. Straughton. I sat there and refused to move until he agreed to see me. It was a turning point—I built the best relationship with that doctor, and he treated me for 12 years. But my journey did not end there.
Here’s the reality:
↳Autoimmune diseases affect 𝟏 𝐢𝐧 𝟏𝟎 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲, and women are disproportionately affected, making up about 80% of all autoimmune cases.
↳Women wait 𝟒 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 than men for a diagnosis of the same disease.
↳People with autoimmune diseases have up to a 𝟒𝟎% 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫.
⛔️ 40% higher risk -> I was one of those statistics.
Did you know that women with autoimmune diseases are more likely to develop certain cancers? I didn't, but I certainly do now.
I developed cancer that I have now beaten twice. 💪🏻
That's why I'm building Goddess Gaia Ventures—because my personal experience with the healthcare system was found lacking. I want better for those who come next, for my son, and for everyone’s sons and daughters.
It’s also why we invest in companies like Predicta Med
An Israeli platform built by fabulous founders Shlomit Steinberg-Koch and Benny (Benjamin) G. that identifies patients at risk for autoimmune disease and provides actionable insights for optimal intervention.
