Hi, I’m Ahlaam ibraahim.
What’s something you don’t get sick of learning and talking about?
For me, it’s always been health and wellness. I constantly find myself reading about nutrition, fitness trends and overall tips to transform my health and better my body. This passion was ignited for me when I was diagnosed with my autoimmune condition. After struggling for so long everything changed for me when I discovered the transformative power of nutrition. I was able to use my passion to heal myself and feel the blessing of being healthy again.
In 2017, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's an autoimmune condition where my body attacks my Thyroid gland. The experience felt so debilitating and it was hard to find a glimmer of hope in my ability to feel like myself again. The doctor told me there was no hope for me other than taking medication and just living with the intense symptoms that would not go away but would be "manageable". My day to day looked like experiencing intense bloating, chronic constipation, and chronic fatigue. My body felt like it was breaking down on me and it was a daily battle.
Over the past few years, I’ve gone from my body crashing on me to feeling the healthiest and strongest I’ve ever felt. Through my found passion for nutrition and fitness, I’ve discovered foods that nourish and fuel my body. I was able to recover from my eating disorders and greatly manage my condition. My grasp on my health was bittersweet as it saddened me to see so many of my friends and family in my community dealing with health issues and not having doctors who listened to them, but also not having the access to information on nutrition and it’s powers.
After seeing the power lifestyle changes could do for one's health and what it did for me I felt motivated to empower people like me. I started attending the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and went through the journey of becoming a health coach to help my community and sisters on their own health journeys.
I wanted to expand my reach beyond just my area as I was aware of how there is such a lack of access to nutritional education and tips throughout communities like my own.
With this in mind I decided to create Health With Ahlaam! A place where the girlies and everyone get inspired to prioritize their health and become the best versions of themselves. After months of daydreaming about my dream community, I decided to start posting on TikTok and really seeing just how needed content like this is and was able to connect with thousands of women aiming to prioritize health and wellness!
