The Corporate Journey
For 22 years I have operated at the senior level of global pharmaceutical leadership.
Three organizations. Three continents. Every level the industry offers.
I am still there - by choice.
That career is not the background to this work. It is the proof of it.
The same pressures you carry - I carry them too.
Every day. Inside the same demands, the same expectations, the same weight of responsibility.
And it was inside that world that I discovered what was missing.
Not from the career. From the inside.
The January 8th Moment
On 8 January 2024, I was 135 kilograms.
Pre-diabetic. Sleep apnea. High cholesterol.
Carrying weight on my shoulders, and carrying it in my body.
I was at the top of the stairs when I heard my daughter scream.
She fell.
I rushed down to her. Worried. Afraid. Scared.
I wanted one thing, which was to know what had happened to her.
And I arrived with no voice.
With no breath.
With no power to ask her what was wrong.
I could not hold her the way a father should hold his child.
In that moment I understood.
Everything I had done to build a life for my family, to build a happy place for
my children, to be there and enjoy my time with them... none of it was
happening.
I had built everything except myself.
Everything changed on that day.
I took a decision. I made a choice. And I started.
Discipline. Consistency. The gym. The work. The effort, day after day after day.
I forced myself to transform.
And it worked.
I reclaimed fifty kilograms of myself. Fifty kilograms healthier. I rebuilt my
life.
And then I stopped forcing.
And without realizing it, I drifted. Not because I wanted to. Not because I
chose to. Something quiet took me back.
I regained ten kilograms.
That was when I understood the real thing.
All that effort. All that pain. More than a year of forced action. And it could
not hold on its own.
The eating was never the problem. The eating was a symptom of something
underneath it, pushing me toward it.
So I started digging. I worked to understand where the problem actually was.
And when I understood it, I took the step that most people leave undone.
I did the work on what I had understood.
I worked on the problem at its root.
And the weight came off again. Effortlessly this time. And it stayed.
I am still on this journey, living at the level I want to live at, doing what I
have to do.
And that is when I knew what I was here to do.
To help people change their life at the root. Not the symptoms. Not the outcomes
they can see. What actually caused it.
And in rebuilding myself - GALA was born.
I restored my powers.
Powers that were always there
waiting beneath everything I had placed on top of them.
It is not something I studied. It is something I lived.
And it is something I continue to live...every day,
inside the same pressures, responsibilities, and demands that you carry.
I did not build this work. I lived it first.
WHY WOMEN
Three women are the reason this work exists.
My mother...
who raised me alone from the age of nine, and showed me what it costs a woman to carry everything quietly, for everyone, without ever being held herself.
My daughter Nadine...
whose fall on January 8, 2024
became the moment I could no longer stay where I was.
My wife Nada...
who has stood beside every version of me, including the ones I am not proud of.
This work exists for her as much as it exists for anyone.
WHY MEN
I know what it is to become a man without a map.
I found my way the hard way.
And I carry no regret for that path.
It made me precise about what actually works.
My son Ahmed...
is the reason I do this differently.
What I had to find alone...
he will simply know.

My son Ahmed...

What I had to find alone...
he will simply know.
This is not where it ends.
One day...
I will sit across from a room...
full of teenagers.
The prevention version of this work.
Before the weight is placed.
Before the map goes missing.
That day is coming.
And everything being built now...
is built toward it.
