At the age of 48, I owned my own company, worked hard, played harder, ate well and exercised. I was fit and ate anything I wanted. Slept 5-6 hours a night. One day, however, I hit the wall.
I saw numerous western medical specialists, all of them wanted to prescribe me meds but no one wanted to look for the root cause. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder and I was insulin resistant. I was poked and prodded for months. I wanted to give up, but knew that an alternative solution was out there somewhere. I was sticking to my guns, no meds.
I was referred to a local, alternative provider. I was under care for a year, took several tests and was treated. Nothing changed. I knew the solution was still out there and my search again began.
This time I interviewed several practitioners from all over the country and found Heidi. Heidi spent the time and looked at my previous numbers, ordered some new tests and developed a plan of attack. My adrenals were taxed, thyroid throttling between hyper and hypo, and energy levels at their lowest.
Full speed ahead, I am on my way to a full recovery. I have not felt this good in years. Be prepared to invest in your health. Embrace the challenge in front of you. Be open to functional medicine labs and testing your bloodwork regularly. The numbers don’t lie.
Being healthy is not free but being sick is far more expensive.
