Most questions that you may have are answered on our FAQs page
In March 2017, I was at a crossroads with respect to my own health. It was more like a crisis. I lost 55 pounds and 12 inches off my waist, and put my high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes into remission. In August 2022, I was diagnosed with profound hypothyroidism and have since changed my lifestyle once again to best support my health. You could say that I understand weight loss and health recovery from both sides of the clinical desk.
