Israeli Chef Omer Miller Reveals Emotional Struggles Abroad

Israeli chef Omer Miller has opened up about the intense emotional toll and daily struggle for mental balance accompanying his move to Thailand. In a series of candid Instagram stories, Miller shared details of a particularly difficult day that pushed him to his physical and mental limits.

Miller confessed that cooking is the only thing keeping him sane, stating, "If I didn't have cooking to relax, I would probably find myself locked up in a closed institution." He described how extreme anxiety and stress left him feeling "broken and without strength" on his sofa, despite ultimately resolving the situation positively.

This is not the first time Miller has revealed the less glamorous aspects of living abroad. Since relocating his life and family to Thailand, he has consistently shared the challenges of adaptation, distance, and the mental complexities of this emotional "rollercoaster."

Previously, Miller also disclosed his decision to refuse collaborations, consulting, or TV shows not based on a ketogenic diet, a choice that led to significant financial losses. He explained that he canceled contracts worth hundreds of thousands of shekels and lost about 70% of his potential Instagram income, asserting, "I have a mission in what I do."
