My Journey: A Life Transformed at 64
This Photo was taken in 2015 at close to 275 pounds. It all started more than 30 years ago when hi pain gradually took hold of my life, causing me to slowly lose the ability to perform even the simplest of tasks. Over the years, the pain in my joints became unbearable, and my once active lifestyle dwindled down to a point where I could barely get off the couch. This also lead to heavy drinking, significant weight, tipping the scales at 275 pounds. At the lowest point, my doctor gave me grim news: I had malignant liver cancer, and during the many ex ray and Mri’s they asked how I could walk, my time seemed painfully short. The combination of severe hip conditions, the cancer diagnosis and the realization I was an alcoholic plunged me into deep depression. I felt trapped, overweight, and completely hopeless.
I realized that if I was going to change the direction of my life, I needed something drastic. I stopped drinking alcohol, I change my diet drastically, That’s when I discovered plant-based supplement that was designed to help ease the worsening hip and joint conditions allowing me to start working out again. I had always been skeptical about supplements, but at that point, I was willing to try anything. My life was on the line. And so began my journey toward healing—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. After over a year and 5 more MRI’s, I found that all five doctors misdiagnosed me, and I had two very rare and unique fibrous liver growth, I just got my first major break in my senior years.
