About Steve:
I'm Steve and I am a plant-based chef, recipe developer and trainer working out of Hong Kong. I'm super passionate about cooking delicious food that not only tastes good, but is also healing to our bodies (hence the plant-based and gluten-free angle).
What's the connection with AS?
Ankylosing Spondylitis (also know as Axial Spondyloarthritis), or AS for short, is an autoimmune rheumatic inflammatory disease primarily affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints. It can lead to chronic pain, structural damage and disability. AS affects millions of people around the world, yet it's still a relatively unknown disease and many people are often suffering in silence unbeknown to others ☹️.
When I was actually diagnosed with AS in 2020 (after many years of suffering symptoms such as chronic fatigue, joint pain & stiffness, constant infections and general overall malaise, as well as mental health issues such as anxiety and depression), I felt like my world had come crashing down. Here I was hopefully less than halfway through my life, and the rheumatologist was telling me I had an incurable illness that would require me to take anti-inflammatories and possibly even biologics (drugs that alter your immune system) for the rest of my life.
Feeling heavily saddened by this news, yet determined to find a way out of this nightmare, I set about a year-long journey of intensive research. I'm happy to say with the support of my amazing family & friends and a great naturopathy doctor, whilst I'm not completely free of the pain, I'm starting to see the impact of diet on reversing this condition 🙏
