Welcome to Connected Health, a culmination of my passion for health and wellness, and my personal journey of self-discovery.
My name is Dalia Badrawi, and I've been living with type 1 diabetes since 2007.
At first, my diagnosis overwhelmed me, but it ultimately sparked a transformative journey. It took me two years to come to terms with my condition, but once I did, I embarked on a path that would change my life for the better.
In 2013, I co-founded CrossFit Engine38, Egypt's second CrossFit box. As a coach and athlete, I discovered the power of setting goals, working hard, and achieving them. This experience unlocked a newfound strength within me, and I went on to complete my first marathon.
After seven years as a box owner and fitness coach, I transitioned into education, my original field of study. As a teacher, I created a Diabetes support group for students and an afterschool running group for senior girls. These initiatives allowed me to make a positive impact on my community.
To further my knowledge, I became certified as a health and wellness coach and sports nutrition consultant. Throughout my journey, I've continued to push myself as a recreational athlete, completing 10 Ironman races, 4 full marathons, and climbing mountains worldwide.
Now, I'm excited to share my expertise with you through Connected Health. As your coach, I'll help you tap into your inner strength and unlock your full potential. Together, we'll work through challenges, set achievable goals, and celebrate your successes.
Let's connect and start your journey to a healthier, happier you.
Best, Dalia Badrawi
