I changed my stance on pharmaceutical intervention as the first resort for lifestyle medicine to save more lives
My Journey to Lifestyle Medicine
My own journey to being a Lifestyle doctor started as a pharmacist at a chain pharmacy where I saw people health deteriorated in front of my eyes from chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. It didn’t really hit home until when my uncle visited from Africa as diabetic and hypertensive for better medical treatment for one month.
Because I didn’t know any better at the time, he still enjoyed all the high carb meals and took his medications as directed. Upon his return to Africa within a week, he developed diabetic ketoacidosis and died as a result.
Setting up True Green Foods, a low carbohydrate food options made a world of difference as people came attesting to the fact that their blood glucose levels have gone down and blood pressure and cholesterol numbers have improved and loss weight naturally gave me the extra umph to press harder.
The reasons I became a Lifestyle Doctor ...
The limits of Pharmaceutical drugs
The first was the agony of recognizing that many of the people were taking pills for every condition with no improvement in health. Not only that, but they will also develop complications like kidney disease as a result of their blood pressure and diabetes.
I wanted to do something before people were at death’s door, which was usually the case and the last straw.
The amazing impact of True Green Foods
Customers and patients who ate True Green Foods would leave messages stating that “I’ve lost weight naturally, just by eating True Green Foods everyday.” Or “my blood pressure and diabetic meds have been stopped by my doctor because my readings are normal since I started with True Green Foods.
I was helpless to save my Uncle
Lastly, I saw my uncle die from complications from diabetes. I finally decided to change my stance of pharmaceutics as the first resort and alter my career path of pharmaceutics and incorporate and dedicate my life to the science behind how we can reverse the big chronic diseases. I couldn’t save my uncle, but I needed, and still need, to save others from a similar, needless fate.
Be Intentional about your health, make that conscious effort regarding your health, modify your lifestyle & reverse your disease.
