What was it like before you came to see us?
I have always had excellent health. I am very active. I’m a runner, do strength training and have been a Step Aerobics instructor for over 20 years. But, I have always had high cholesterol due to heredity. I came to Total Health for help with my cholesterol and to improve my eating habits. Like I said, I didn’t feel bad and very seldom get sick. I didn’t want to go on medication for my cholesterol because of the many side effects.
How is your health now?
I have been a client at Total Health for about 1 ½ years. I have made several changes to my diet. The biggest change I have made is to include more protein in my diet. This is especially helpful to maintain my activity level. I have also eliminated and cut down on some of the foods contributing to my elevated cholesterol. I’m happy to report that I have successfully lowered my cholesterol by over 40 in the last year. My doctor is very happy with the progress I’ve made. I am also happy with this change. I hope to lower my cholesterol even more by continuing to make better food choices.
