“Because of metabolic therapies, I feel like I am busy living now, whereas before I was busy dying.”
Ketogenic therapy, sleep, and exercise.
My health journey has had incredible highs, and looking back, some hard lows I had to move through to get here. At my heaviest, I was carrying an extra 100 pounds, and I've lost all of it since starting metabolic therapies. But the weight loss isn't even my proudest achievement. That would be overcoming the depression and anxiety I lived with for years. Working closely with my prescribing doctors, I was able to safely titrate off medications I had relied on for a long time.
Beyond the mental health transformation and the weight loss, I've had documented physical improvements that still amaze me. I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and an irregular heartbeat. After one year of metabolic therapies, all of that reversed, and it's documented in my medical records.
My advice to anyone starting this journey: give your body time. The greater the wound, the longer it takes to heal. The physical changes came, but the mental clarity and emotional stability that came with healing my metabolic health were what changed my life the most.
I believe my life is the result of the decisions I make. Before, I was depressed and living in brain fog. I couldn't make wise decisions, and being metabolically unwell, I didn't have the energy to act on them even if I could. Now I have the clarity and drive to make wise decisions, and the energy to carry them out. I'm busy living and going after my goals and dreams. Before, I was too sick to even think about them, let alone act on them. This has truly saved my life.
This transformation changed me so profoundly that I set out to document stories of healing and create a documentary. I've since interviewed hundreds of people who have found incredible healing through metabolic therapies and nutrition, and sharing those stories has become one of the most meaningful parts of my own journey.
