Our Story
N = 1 I am taking my health into my own hands. When I went to the doctor in early 2018, I had multiple problems the doctor was unable to help. When all my but 1 of my blood test came back normal (low vitamin D), I was told nothing was wrong with me. I was in and out of the doctor's office for several months with severe fatigue and pain. I was eventually diagnosed with high blood pressure and hypersomnia. I was given high blood pressure meds and told to have a sleep study. When I told the doctor I wanted to try lifestyle she was skeptical. But told me to lose weight. It was recommended I go to overeaters anonymous, which irritated me since the only question she ask prior to suggesting OA was "Do you know how to eat a healthy diet to lose weight?". (I will talk about the specific plan I used at a later date.) Within 5 weeks I had lost weight, and my blood pressure was under control. I was still not sleeping and in severe pain. A friend recommended, I watch the documentary on Netflix "The Magic Pill." If you have not watched it, I HIGHLY Recommend it! After watching it twice, I started on my current journey, and I committed to it for a minimum of one year. This journey is what you will find on this page. There is some lag time between my real life and what is documented here.
I am now at 17 months and my health continues to improve. I don’t feel completely healed and I think this is likely to be a journey that never ends. This past weekend I attended Low Carb Houston Conference and was impressed with the quality of the speakers and motivated by they journey so many people I meet are on.
I had the opportunity to interview Craig Emmerich so keep a look out for the videos!
