Buh-Bye Diabetes!
Have you ever had some news that is JUST SO DARN GOOD that you just can't keep it in?!?
I mean, you feel like you JUST MIGHT EXPLODE if you can't let it out?!?
That's EXACTLY how I feel today!
I just learned that one of my amazing clients has SAID BUH-BYE TO HIS DIABETES THROUGH THE POWER OF A PLANT-BASED DIET and I just HAVE to tell you all about it - before I EXPLODE with this INCREDIBLE NEWS!
I started working with this gentleman in early January and he has been fully committed to eating a plant-based diet ever since.
And his efforts were rewarded IN SPADES when he had his follow-up appointment with his doctor last week!
In LESS THAN 4 MONTHS of eating plant-based…
He lost 40 POUNDS!
His cholesterol dropped from 200 to 139!
His triglycerides dropped from 174 to 97!
His LDL cholesterol dropped from 131 to 88!
His blood pressure lowered from 118/84 to 102/62!
All such incredible results!
And perhaps most exciting of all - he said BUH-BYE to diabetes!
That's right - in LESS THAN 4 MONTHS of eating plant-based, his A1c went from 6.6 to 5.6 - which means he has officially KICKED HIS DIABETES TO THE CURB!
Why is this JUST SO DARN EXCITING?!?
For SO MANY REASONS…
First of all, people didn't used to believe this was possible. It was commonly held that once you have diabetes, you'll always have diabetes. Not the case! A plant-based diet REALLY DOES have the power to help you SAY BUH-BYE TO DIABETES, just like my client just did.
And like I told this client, there's EVEN MORE GOOD NEWS!
Now that's he's SAID BUH-BYE TO DIABETES…
He'll never experience the NUMBNESS and TINGLING that comes with DIABETIC NEUROPATHY.
He'll never LOSE HIS SIGHT to diabetes.
He'll never LOSE A TOE OR A LEG to the AMPUTATIONS that more advanced diabetes often leads to.
He'll never have the KIDNEY DISEASE that so often comes with diabetes.
He'll never have to deal with any of those or any of the other AWFUL COMPLICATIONS that come along with diabetes.
And you know what's just so darn great?!?
HE MADE THIS HAPPEN!
It wasn't his doctor. It wasn't a medication. It was ALL HIM!
Talk about a feeling of EMPOWERMENT!
In fact, he embodies the reason I decided to call my health coaching business WELLNESS EMPOWERED.
Because he was EMPOWERED to create his own WELLNESS through the POWER OF PLANTS…along with some help and support from me, his health coach.
I asked this gentleman if he had any encouragement or words of advice for YOU, the person sitting on the fence, trying to decide whether or not to give plant-based eating a try.
And this was his response:
“…the most surprising thing about a plant-based diet is how easy it is to follow, how easy it is to find delicious recipes, and how little I miss the foods that I used to eat.”
When he heard that he had diabetes, he could've KICKED THAT CAN DOWN THE ROAD.
But instead, he decided to adopt a plant-based diet to KICK HIS DIABETES TO THE CURB.
And he's TRULY ENJOYING his food!
And of course, he's THRILLED with how good he's feeling.
I'm so glad that he invited me along for the journey!
Thank you sir, for this great honor and privilege.
YOU are why I do what I do.
Do you have DIABETES? PRE-DIABETES? Other health challenges that you KNOW could be helped by a plant-based diet?
Have you been KICKING THAT CAN DOWN THE ROAD, hoping it'll just go away? Or that you'll deal with it later, when you have more time?
(Hint - you won't ever have more time. This gentleman I just told you about is not only a busy dad, but also a TAX ACCOUNTANT. If you look at your calendar, you'll be reminded that TAX DAY was JUST LAST WEEK. Which means that he has CREATED ALL THIS HEALTH IN HIS BODY DURING THE BUSIEST SEASON OF HIS YEAR!)
