Anno, from the United States, has been dealing with health issues including mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).

The journey with these health issues started after the birth of the guest's son in 2016, with severe digestive problems and classic indicators of methane dominant SIBO.

Despite multiple treatments for SIBO, relapses were common, leading to a search for underlying causes. Eventually, a GI specialist diagnosed EDS and suspected POTS, leading to the turning point in the guest's health journey.

As a child, symptoms such as constipation, temperature regulation issues, and a delayed onset to anaesthesia were noted, indicating early signs of the health conditions later diagnosed.

Anno's mornings were challenging, with low energy levels and severe GI issues upon eating, making even showering in the morning difficult.
