About Martina:
🦓 I was born with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and I use my #buildaladder mindset to cope with daily chronic pain.
🇰🇷 🇨🇦 🇯🇵 I was born in Canada, but from my 20s-40s I lived in South Korea, and then Japan. My daily cooking is heavily influenced by my life in Asia, and I love to share what I learned via my cooking videos.

Hello King Kogi community, Captain Martina here!

This is my first time sharing a meal prep video, so I hope it all makes sense.

And if you are a member on Patreon or YouTube, I'm sorry for the delay in the Bloopers and Captain's Log. I'm currently battling some unknown infection. Went to the doctor yesterday, and he found water in my ear, which explains why my balance is all off, and I'm hot/cold and exhausted. I've started some medication, so have a bit more energy today.

Luckily, I finished this video edit Friday, but only managed the description box and thumbnail yesterday night. Once I'm recovered, I'll post up the perks! Thanks so much for the support, especially grateful on days like this when I'm feeling so low.

Enjoy the video, ironically I've eaten all this food prep and wish I had it in my fridge now LOOOOOOL

Hello King Kogi community,

For the next Pirate Radio, I’d like to talk about the realties of life with chronic pain. But before I record this next episode, I wanted to reach out to the community —as I know many of us suffer on the daily from a variety of chronic illnesses. If you’d like, please leave a comment about this topic, and also feel free to leave some questions so I can add them into the podcast.

I write this as I nurse a foot and calf injury, it’s been two months of pain! *silent scream of frustration*

I hope you’re all as well as possible, see you on the Internet soon!

Captain Martina

Ps-> next video is a meal prep video!

Is British food actually as bad as the internet says? 🇬🇧🍴 From the Gothy Black Pudding to the Bakewell Tart, join me as I travel through the UK tasting pork pies, a very disappointing jacket potato, and curry... in a pub? We’re also diving into the international food scene in Leicester with Chinese BBQ and Hot Pot, Istanbul cuisine, and I attempt a Victoria Sponge redemption.

And here is a playlist with the first two UK Observation videos if you haven't seen them yet!

Working on a fun new video, and I'm curious about how much you know about "One Piece" the anime?

Hello to the lovely King Kogi village!

Just a bit of an update for everyone. I’ve been quite slow to put up videos the past few weeks because I’ve had a big change in my medication and it’s been affecting me.

I have lowered my pain medication, and come off my stomach medication altogether! I’ve been on this medication for over 10 years now, so of course, my body is adjusting, including a lot of nausea, stomach pain, and definitely more aches and pains.

I’m trying to see just how much medication I actually need to take, now that I’m mentally in a much happier place, and I have things like medical marijuana available to me in Canada.

Which has been incredible for dealing with pain! It’s quite funny ordering legal weed through the Canadian government, because I didn’t touch any kind of “drugs” as a teenager or university students 😂 Now it’s legal and turns out, very helpful for pain.

The point of this ramble is that I’ve been falling behind on videos, and feeling so anxious about it, but this Friday a new video is coming out, and once the video is released, the Membership perks will be released too. Can’t release the bloopers and extras before the video 🤪

I’ve also been working hard to create a new digital map guide to Okinawa, Japan! But you’ll hear all about it in tomorrow’s video.

I hope you’re all doing as well as you possibly can, and a big gigantic Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈💗

On May 8th a limited edition Meemers plush will go on sale ‪@Youtooz‬ and I'm so excited. It has been over half of year of designing because I wanted to have removable accessories and to get his teardrop shape JUST right.

Before May 8th I'll put up a video showcasing all the little details we've put into his royal highnesses' plush toy.
