Gordon Maudsley, 49, has launched an organic food supplements business after years of health struggles that left him bedridden and unable to work.

The father-of-one, who once played football and went to the gym three times a week, saw his life change dramatically in 2017 after contracting glandular fever.

He said: “My health collapsed when I caught glandular fever.

“Within two weeks, I lost 19lbs, and what followed was months of post-viral fatigue.

“I was bedridden for a week and struggled to find the energy to complete even the easiest of tasks.

“Every time I thought I was turning a corner, my body seemed to drag me back.”

He eventually returned to work as a quantity surveyor, but the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic brought further setbacks.

Not only did he contract the virus, but he also suffered from Long Covid symptoms.

Mr Maudsley said: “I can still remember waking up every morning feeling like I hadn’t slept, wondering how long this would last.

“Simple things like work, family time and even just getting through the day became overwhelming.

“At that point I felt like I had hit rock bottom.”

Searching for solutions, he found support through a personal coach who helped him develop a recovery plan focused on rest, gentle exercise, and nutrition.

He said: “It wasn’t quick or easy.

“I listened to my body, rested when I needed to, introduced some gentle exercise and paid close attention to nutrition.

“It was nutrition that turned out to be one of the key factors.”

Struggling to find natural, affordable supplements, Mr Maudsley decided to create his own.

This led to the launch of Just Good Stuff, an organic food supplements business.

He said: “As I slowly rebuilt my health, I began to feel the difference when I found cleaner nutrition.
