I cannot say this loud enough, health is wealth and without a healthy you, nothing counts. After being diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and fibroids, I have used food and spices as my go to medicine to reduce inflammation, inhibit oxidation by using antioxidants and boost my immune system. My kitchen cabinet has been my frequent go to pharmacy for spices, superfood, and foods. I became my own Guinea pig by experimenting on myself something known as “biohacking”. Join me as I am sharing my healing and my consistent healthy lifestyle with you.

My name is Ruby Anyumba, CEO of Healthy Streams Boutique, and in 2016 I started experiencing consistent bloating, inflammation and digestive issues. My frequent visits to the doctor, and constant lab tests, resulted in no diagnosis. Most people would be happy with negative lab tests results, I wasn’t, I knew deep down that there was something wrong. In 2017, things got worse, I was losing hair, a handful daily, worsening digestive issues, inflammation, heart palpitations, rapid weight loss and many more. This time round, I got diagnosed with graves’ disease. Graves disease is an autoimmune disease that causes overactive thyroid resulting in hyperthyroidism. Basically, in hyperthyroidism, the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland resulting in too much hormone production causing overactive thyroid. Hypothyroidism diagnosis was severe that I ended up doing a radioactive treatment. That means that my thyroid was killed, as a result, I have no functioning thyroid.
