AmeliaHill.comPlanet Thrive member Amelia Hill of Australia is living an extraordinary life, and it is all now documented on her brand new website: AmeliaHill.com. For the last five years, she has been quarantined to one room. Not by any external authority, but by her own body. She has been wrestling with a severe form of Environmental Illness (EI). Like many with EI, Amelia is chemically sensitive, electromagnetically sensitive, food sensitive, mold sensitive, struggles with chronic fatigue syndrome, and other related conditions. What this means for her today, is life confined to a single room and her mother as her round-the-clock caregiver. She is on a strict rotation diet of just a few foods, each of which has to be cooked outdoors for several hours so her body can digest it. She lost tolerance to her mattress many months ago, so now sleeps without one as she awaits the long “off-gassing” process with new bedding. Her clothing is limited, her time on her iPhone – her only connection to the world – is limited, and she struggles with life-threatening dental issues and food reactions daily. Most of us would be laying in bed, drowning in depression if faced with as many obstacles as Amelia has been challenged with. But this incredibly strong woman has allowed the depths of chronic, severe illness to be the gateway to her own personal transformation – and she wants to bring you along with her. Her unstoppable spirit and positive outlook in the face of extreme duress has garnered her global attention.

Amelia’s inspiring story was featured nationally on Channel Seven’s ‘Today Tonight’, in The Sunday Mail and in many online interviews and features. After her story aired on T.V., she created “Heal Amelia’s Life,” a Facebook group with close to 1,000 members where she connects with supporters from around the world. The support, love, and sometimes desperately needed advice and connections she receives from her fans help sustain her spirit as she fights to reclaim her quality of life and health.


The amazing Amelia Hill


Amelia has put together a beautiful website to document the building of her “safe pod,” to share her story, and to help bring awareness to the millions of others silently fighting environmental illness and related cluster conditions. Her website includes a media page where you can stay up-to-date on her latest interviews. She will also be sharing time-lapse video showing the building of her environmentally safe home, which she has named her “safe pod.”


AmeliaHill.com inspirational messageAmelia’s severe electromagnetic sensitivity has not kept her from being active on social media, where she regularly shares uplifting and inspirational memes hand-crafted on her iPhone in short spurts online throughout the day. She shares her messages of hope and strength on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Her website was created through many hours of hand writing notes which her mother then transcribed onto the computer and sent off to her web designer. This is a woman who knows no obstacles to keep her from her dreams.

Please visit her website and leave a word of support on one of her pages to keep reminding her that she is not alone as she fights the battle of her life.

    Earthwalker is the username that PT founder Julie Genser created for her online interactions so many years ago when first creating Planet Thrive.

    Julie's (Earthwalker's) life was derailed over twenty years ago when she had a very large organic mercury exposure after she naively used a mouth thermometer to measure the temperature of just-boiled milk while making her very first pizza at home. The mercury instantly expanded into a gas form and exploded out the back of the thermometer right into her face. Unaware that mercury was the third most neurotoxic element on Earth, Julie had no idea she had just received a very high dose of a poisonous substance.

    A series of subsequent toxic exposures over the next few years -- to smoke from two fires (including 9/11), toxic mold, lyme disease, and chemical injuries -- caused catastrophic damage to her health. While figuring out how to survive day-to-day, and often minute-to-minute, she created Planet Thrive to help others avoid some of the misdiagnoses and struggles she had experienced.

    She has clawed her way over many health mountains to get to where she is today. She is excited to bring the latest iteration of Planet Thrive to the chronic illness community.

    In 2019, Julie published her very first cookbook e-book called Low Lectin Lunches (+ Dinners, Too!) after discovering how a low lectin, gluten free diet was helping manage her chronic fascia/muscle pain.
