In my thirties I had some trouble comprehending the changes in my body. I was always looking at everyone else and not focusing on me. With constant dieting and militant exercise, I was the picture of health, right? Nope!

I was diagnosed with prediabetes. I couldn’t believe it. I was also struggling with hormonal problems and everything felt off. I was told if my sugar levels test high again I would be put on medications. My hormonal issues weren’t even addressed by my doctors.

I was young for hormonal issues, but not too young for a lifetime of medication.

At 38 I didn’t want to go on medication. This started my journey as a health coach. I was hell bent on getting my sugars under control. I would read and research anything I could find. I changed my diet and how I ate. This was the turning point in my life. The more I would research and read, the more I started to realize everybody is different and my body is unique.

Fast forward a year later. I had stopped chronic dieting and eating foods that gave my body energy and would have helped me feel great. My sugar was even higher and I was told it was time for meds. I asked for a few months more and advice. The only advice I was given was the basics — watch your sugar, diet and exercises. This was shit! I educated myself and became my own client, once again. Six Months later my sugar was the lowest its ever been without medications and I was feeling the best I have felt in years as I was approaching my early 40’s.

What I’ve learned, I’m now teaching others!
