My story
I have been interested in health from a very young age. I grew up very thing and naturally intuitive about what was beneficial and harmful to the body. Much like everyone else I went to college and put on my freshman 20, I skipped the 15. I went to school in the south and discovered a famous southern donut chain, which I loved very much. I came home and my sister told me I looked like a donut. Laughing now but it was serious. I did lose the weight but ended up on the diet yo-yo. Each year becoming more and more unhealthy. I dealt with a benign tumor, ovarian cysts, debilitating muscle pain, cramping and high blood pressure, urinary incontinence, bad breath, headaches, back pain. I was a mess, a hot funky mess, literally. I knew the blood pressure could be reversed but at the time, I did not realize that all of the dis-ease was the direct result of my diet and lifestyle. I reversed it all, and you will too.
In an elaborate display of self-pity, lying in the bed I called my sister and the rest of my family; I asked them to bring my favorite foods and I gave up. I just knew I was going to die, clearly, I didn’t. I woke up and decided I was going to use the information about health that I had, learn more, and turn things around. That began my real health journey. It has not been all peaches and creme and I still have that last 30lbs to lose but I am doing it joyfully and successfully. I also reversed the high blood pressure; I am medication free and in excellent health.
