By the time I joined Systema, I had been living with Crohn’s disease for 18 years and had acquired many more diagnoses along the way. I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and living with constant pain and debilitating symptoms. My life was miserable, despite major changes in diet, medication, and lifestyle. I had to put all of my dreams aside and resign myself to a life of suffering. Saying yes to Systema changed everything. Through Systema’s principles, science-backed curriculum, and supportive, compassionate community, I achieved Crohn’s remission. The chronic pain and fatigue disappeared, my skin is healing, and I am building a life aligned with my dreams. I’m thriving with more energy, strength and hope than ever before.
