Hi, I'm Manny Tura

Gut Health Coach and Crohn's Disease Warrior

After 16 years on 14 tablets a day, I now live medication free and symptom free. Now I inspire, teach and motivate others to join the good side of life by having the same freedom and amazing transformation.

I'm a Health Coach who specialises in Autoimmune Disease, Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and Gut Ailments. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease at the age of 11, the day before I started High School. Crohn's Disease left me being unable to absorb the nutrients and minerals from my meals which resulted in me being only 5'3 inches tall and always being afraid to eat too much, as I could not endure the pain that would follow. Fast forward to Christmas Day 2016, I suffered a significant bowel perforation which resulted in a life or death ultimatum - have emergency surgery to get an Ileostomy bag or die. I went on a rapid decline by losing 3 stone of weight in 2 months (1/3 of my bodyweight!), after having the surgery. This lead me to being hospitalised again for a month and half while I got fed intravenously.

I never gave up, I never accepted defeat and I went through the battles and won the war. My wishes and dream came true when my Ileostomy bag was reversed but this was only the beginning of the great things to come. 8 months after my second major surgery, I entered my first Powerlifting Competition which is a test of your strength, in which I became the Yorkshire & Northeast Champion (in the UK) and broke the Deadlift Record (59kg class) by lifting 180kg at 53kg bodyweight - 3.5 times my bodyweight! My six part story will tell you how I went from feeling like a zero to becoming a hero.
