Jose de Oliveira
I was born in a simple environment in southern Brazil, in a close-knit Christian community where microbiological, pure food was the norm in my family. As a child, I knew nothing but organic and unprocessed food. My grandfather lived to be 112; he had never eaten a hamburger or refined sugars. He always said, "Food that God didn't make is not food."
At eighteen, I moved from southern Brazil to the Netherlands to study. The transition to a Western, ultra-processed diet dramatically changed my life. What initially felt like a new beginning led to serious health problems years later.
My health deteriorated: several surgeries, treatments, and a lot of medication followed. Yet, symptoms like migraines, nerve pain, and balance problems persisted. The doctors had no solution anymore; I just had to learn to live with it. That broke me. I felt powerless, but deep down, I refused to believe this was the end of my possibilities.
For years, I tried everything and drastically changed my lifestyle.
I started delving into alternative medicine and orthomolecular nutrition, took workshops and courses. I knew I had to get back to basics, to the way I'd grown up, but I didn't know how to do that in the Netherlands.
The symptoms persisted... Until, years ago, one Christmas Eve, I heard about Beyuna from a family friend. Then I discovered that my expensive natural supplements were full of synthetic fillers. That was a huge shock!
I felt deeply disappointed. Substances I knew didn't belong in food and that I'd never considered had changed from natural to synthetic over time. I was so conscious, yet still misled. But that very moment became a turning point.
I regularly attended presentations and wanted to learn everything, but I was still too weak physically. Yet, I slowly noticed an improvement: I had a little more energy. People around me noticed and wanted to try the supplements too. That's when I decided to become a distributor and join the Beyuna Academy to learn as much as possible, both in orthomolecular medicine and business.
Until then, I had worked for the government for 26 years and knew virtually nothing about network marketing. Fortunately, at the Beyuna Academy, I received the right training, which allowed me to achieve success despite my health and lack of business acumen.
Now, four years later, I look back on this journey with pride. I started with no business acumen or experience, and was also very ill, and today I can share my knowledge and help others. Beyuna not only gave me back my health, it also gave me a new mission: As a lifestyle coach, I can now help others, both in their health and financially.
I am grateful to be part of an organization where everyone is equal and wants to help each other. A place where sincerity still exists. Such transparency and collaboration are rare.
My goal is to build a team of people driven by honesty, faith, and a genuine heart to help others.
