Hi, I’m Banyana, a 46-year-old mom of three (two beautiful daughters and a cheeky son 😊), living life with purpose, curiosity, and an ever-growing love for plant-based wellness. I live with Type 2 diabetes, a condition that began during my pregnancies and decided to stay longer than expected—12 years and counting.

Like many people managing chronic conditions, I’ve been on medication for years. And honestly? I’ve never liked it. The side effects, the dependency, the routine. Somewhere deep inside, I always believed there had to be more—a gentler, more natural way to support my body. That belief led me to explore plant-based supplements, and eventually, I stumbled across a brand that would truly shift my experience: APLGO.

When Nature Meets Technology—Everything Changed

The first time I tried APLGO’s supplements, I didn’t expect miracles. But what I felt that very first night after using their NRM lozenge was nothing short of eye-opening.

For years, I’d been waking up at night with burning, tingling heels—a symptom many people with diabetes know all too well. But after just one use of NRM, I slept peacefully through the night. No burning. No pain. Just… relief.

And it didn’t stop there. Over the weeks, my body felt less inflamed, more energized, and just generally more in balance. It wasn’t magic—it was the power of plant-based DNA extracts, delivered using APLGO’s unique Acumullit SA™ technology. I was amazed at how quickly my body responded to these lozenges—no pills, no teas, just a tasty, quick-dissolve lozenge that fit right into my lifestyle.

From Personal Relief to Passion-Driven Purpose

My experience was too powerful to keep to myself. As I shared my story with family and friends, I realized something beautiful: there are so many people quietly suffering, looking for gentle, natural alternatives, just like I was.

That’s when I decided to turn this personal health journey into a mission—and a business. I joined APLGO as an affiliate, promoting the very products that brought comfort and energy back into my life. I earn a commission when someone shops through my link, but more importantly, I get to share hope. I get to say, “Hey, this helped me. Maybe it can help you too.”

  1. Banyana,

    I really enjoyed reading about your journey on Plant Powered Me, it’s always inspiring to see how someone turns personal passion into something that can help others. Your story made me curious to learn a bit more, both about the bigger picture of living a plant‑based lifestyle and your own personal experiences along the way. So, if you don’t mind, I’d love to ask a few questions that dive into both those areas…

    What inspired you to start your plant‑powered health journey, and how has it shaped your daily life?

    How do you balance sharing nutritional science with personal experience on your platform?

    What’s been the most surprising benefit of adopting a plant‑based lifestyle—physically, emotionally, or even socially?

    How do you stay motivated and consistent on days when plant‑power feels challenging—especially with busy schedules or social pressures?

    In what ways do you tailor recipe ideas or meal plans for people with different tastes, budgets, or dietary needs?

    Kind regards,
    Martin

    1. Hi Martin,

      Thank you so much for this thoughtful message and for taking the time to really explore Plant Powered Me. I’m so encouraged by your curiosity and kind words.

      To be honest, I wouldn’t say I’m a plant-powered expert—far from it, actually! I’m just someone who became increasingly intrigued by the power of plants in our wellness, and have made it my aim to discover and experience these powerful additions to my life. I’m still very much at the beginning of this journey of discovery.

      It all started rather unexpectedly when we moved into our new home and discovered a beautiful moringa tree in the yard. I became completely obsessed with researching its benefits, and that curiosity opened a door for me. From there, I slowly started paying attention to how many natural plants around us hold incredible value—yet many of them go unnoticed or are difficult to incorporate into our diets because of taste or preparation and some not even available locally.

      That’s where technologies like APLGO really caught my attention. The idea of wrapping potent plant extracts into tasty lozenges honestly made the whole experience more accessible (and palatable!) for someone like me who’s still adjusting to the taste of raw herbs or powders.

      As for your great questions—I’d love to explore them more, maybe even as a blog post or series, because I think a lot of us are on this kind of “curious but cautious” path together. For now, I’ll say this journey has made me more mindful, even if I’m not always perfect at it. It’s about learning, trying, and appreciating the little shifts that add up over time.

      Thanks again, Martin!

  2. What a vibrant and inspiring story, Banyana! Your journey from managing Type 2 diabetes to discovering the power of plant-based wellness is a breath of fresh air. Your experience with the NRM lozenge especially finally getting a full night’s sleep after years of burning heels is both moving and exciting. It really makes me wonder: How does APLGO’s Acumullit SA™ technology work to deliver such fast relief? And could these lozenges help people with other chronic inflammation issues too?
    Your transformation from personal healing to purposeful sharing is truly empowering. It’s not just about supplements; it’s about offering hope and real-life solutions. Your warmth, honesty, and cheeky mom energy make this blog feel like a cozy chat over tea. I love how you’ve created a space that blends education, encouragement, and opportunity. Count me in for more stories, tips, and a taste of this plant-powered life. Let’s keep walking this green path together!

    1. Wow, thank you so much for this beautiful message – it honestly touched my heart. 

      I never imagined my journey with diabetes, burning heels, and restless nights would lead to something that not only brought relief but sparked a whole new purpose. By the way the diabetes journey is 12 yrs old but the burning heels is new, just a few weeks now. NRM really was a game-changer for me, and you’re right – the fast relief had me asking the same thing about how Acumullit SA™ works! From what I’ve learned, it’s all about how the nutrients are extracted and delivered directly through the mouth—bypassing the gut for quicker absorption. It’s fascinating stuff, and yes, people are using different drops to support various inflammation-related issues too. Click on one of those links and explore the various supplements they have.

      I love how you describe the mood of this blog and that’s exactly what I hoped to create. A safe space, honest and uplifting, with a dash of mom life and plant magic.

      I will keep sharing more on this journey in this blog. If you ever try any of the lozenges, I’d love to hear your thoughts too.
