Have you ever felt like you’re juggling a thousand different problems, only for them to vanish when a health crisis hits?
Suddenly, all those problems fade into the background, leaving only one thing to consume your attention—your health.
I know that feeling all too well. In August 2023, I found myself battling Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria (CIU), also known as hives. If you’re unfamiliar, hives are red, itchy welts that show up on your skin when your body reacts to something like an allergy or stress. This condition, essentially an autoimmune response, took over my life.
Despite seeing countless doctors—immunologists, dermatologists—and trying every possible treatment, both Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine, the rash persisted.
This experience taught me a life-changing lesson: when health fails, nothing else matters. But it also gifted me something more profound—the realization that healing wasn’t in more treatments but in how I viewed my health, life, and mindset.
My skin became so dry that even after applying natural oils and creams, it would crack within minutes. The physical discomfort was painful, but the mental toll was far worse. As someone who loves being active, I had to give up basic activities like stretching, swimming, and walking—each one triggering another outbreak.
For six months, I was trapped in a relentless cycle of doctor appointments and prescriptions, none of which brought lasting relief. But then, it hit me: this condition wasn’t just physical. The root of the problem was buried in the low-vibration emotions I was holding onto—frustration, anger, and irritation stemming from a personal conflict with our upstairs neighbors. These emotions were literally showing up on my skin.
That realization was a turning point. Western medicine had failed to address my symptoms, let alone the root cause. I was prescribed several antihistamines—Zyrtec, Allegra, Claritin, and Bilastine—but none worked. The side effects only added to my misery: drowsiness, difficulty focusing, and irritability. As a Mindset Coach, losing my mental clarity felt devastating.
That’s when I embarked on an inward journey.
Once I recognized that my thoughts were contributing to my skin condition, I committed to retraining my unconscious mind. Over four months, I practiced visualization, self-love affirmations, and mindset techniques to calm both my mind and my skin.
Slowly but surely, the hives began to disappear. And as of July 2024, my skin is 100% clear and healthy.
This journey taught me that true healing comes from addressing the root cause—your thoughts and emotions. Chronic diseases don’t just appear out of nowhere. As I learned, they’re often deeply connected to unresolved emotions and mental stress that we carry, sometimes unknowingly.
Western medicine excels at treating acute conditions but often falls short when dealing with chronic health issues because it focuses on symptoms rather than root causes. My experience has shown me that the mind-body connection is crucial when navigating long-term health problems.
If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in a health crisis, it’s time to consider that the solution might not be found in another prescription or medical appointment. It might be as simple (yet profound) as shifting your mindset.
I’m living proof that retraining the mind can lead to profound physical healing. It worked for me, and I believe it can work for you too.
Don’t just take my word for it—here’s a testimonial from one of my clients, Jesus, Director of HR at a Fortune 500 company:
“When I approached Benan seeking his help, I was not in the state of mind that I wanted to be in and was looking to learn coping mechanisms and explore an anti-inflammatory diet. Benan made great food suggestions and offered ideas I had not contemplated. Today I feel I am where I wanted to be at mentally and health wise. I lost 21 lbs in the process which was great.”
