I still remember when our support team forwarded me the email from BBC Radio. They wanted to interview me about my journey with Crohn's Disease and how it led to building Fifth Ray.
The BBC team had discovered my story online and saw what we were creating. They felt it belonged on their radio show about people making a positive impact through business.
When they invited me onto The Everyday Hustle, I jumped at the opportunity. This was a chance to share the Fifth Ray story with a wider audience who might be struggling just like I was.
Recording At BBC Mailbox Birmingham
The interview took place at BBC Mailbox in Birmingham. This is where BBC records the national news, so walking through those corridors felt surreal. However, the energy in the studio was very welcoming.
Everyone made me feel comfortable straight away, including the host Jaz Singh. That warmth helped me relax and speak freely about both the darkest moments of my illness and the breakthrough that changed everything.
I felt empowered having this platform to share truth with people who needed to hear it.
Why This BBC Feature Matters
There are millions of people living with digestive issues. Many have been told to just manage their symptoms. Others have tried countless supplements and diets without real results.
The BBC interview allowed me to share that there is another path. That plant medicine, when used correctly, can support your body's natural healing abilities.
This is not about replacing medical care. This is about giving people additional natural tools they can use to support their body, rather than working against it.
The response since the interview aired has been powerful. People who heard my story have reached out to share their own struggles. Many have started their journey with Cosmic Hue after hearing how it helped transform my own health.
