I grew up on McDonald's, Flamin Hot Cheetos and double fisting Dr. Pepper's. Those were the days...the days of happy tastebuds and a pissed off stomach. I don't miss them.

 

Peptol Bismul and I used to be good friends, until I realized it was based on a lie. Sigh. The truth sets you free. Unfortunately, it took me until my Junior year in college to discover the truth. I was a Division 1 volleyball player who was run down, tired, depressed and out of shape. I had a pooch for crying out loud! How could I have a muffin top being an elite athlete? I thought I was healthy...

 

There were days I curled up in a ball on the couch due to the excruciating pain of digestion and wouldn't move until I could tolerate the pain. I felt like I was dying...that or I had a really bad hangover that lasted for a year, but I wasn't a drinker so I crossed that off my list. Doctors said, "you have acid reflux and gastritis," and sent me on my way with pretty purple pills. I got worse. You wanna know why? Because they treated symptoms and did nothing to remedy the CAUSE. 

 

Pimples invaded my skin and my state of mind. I WASN'T HAPPY! I knew it was time to take matters into my own hands and just as I prayed for answers, I was handed a book by Jack Lalanne. His words resonated so deeply with me and I can honestly say that was the first step to changing my life. How could a sickly kid turn into the most healthy and fit man for his time? He tugged boats with people in them, while SWIMMING. What the?! 

 

 I read...a lot. They say knowledge is power, well then I was like Superman hugging the sun. I changed my eating and gained true health. Now my goal is to share what I've learned to serve all who really need and want the help. t starts with a choice, which leads to action and ends with results. I'm devoted to being the change. Are you with me? Let's go!!
