My life was plagued with Migraines, attention issues, sleep issues, forgetfulness, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, high cholesterol, high blood glucose, etc. These health issues affected me as a wife, mama, teacher and friend.
I have been teaching and guiding others how to be physically fit and active for over 20 years. However, I wasn’t taking my own advice about healthy living and was neglecting my own health! I thought I was taking pretty good care of myself but years of neglecting my health was evident when my bloodwork told me otherwise.
I thought caring about bloodwork was just for “old” people, yet here I am!
My medications were simply Band-Aids, they never eliminated the root of the problems. They left me feeling confused, lethargic, forgetful, drained and even caused slurred speech. It was like I was a zombie! I was OVER it. My dilemma was that I felt there were NO OTHER options. Was this how it was going to be for the rest of my life?
Enough was Enough!
