Show Notes

 "The human body is amazing. It wants to heal. We just have to be willing to give it the opportunity to do that".

My dad passed away because of Diabetes. I always assumed that him being overweight was the main factor why he developed the disease. Since I didn't have a weight problem, I was confident that Diabetes was not going to be an issue for me. How little did I know.
Constantly feeling fatigued took me to see my doctor. A good diet and exercise was always the advice but I didn't pay much attention to it. After some time, SURPRISE! I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It felt like my world had collapsed. I hit rock bottom.

The lesson I took: learn to listen to your body. It's wise and it's continuously telling you when things are going good and when they aren't.  

After a deep internal process of understanding my mind and body, I was ready to fight the fight. I didn't let Diabetes rule my life, I didn't let doctors wear me down by telling me I was sentenced to take insulin shots the rest of my days, I searched for answers and opinions, I educated myself and I finally learned how to reverse the effects of Diabetes through a series of common practices that we may regularly take for granted. 

What are you doing to reverse the effects of Diabetes?
