In April 2015 I went to the doctor for an annual and checkup. I've always been semi-healthy, in the last 3 years my health took a turn, I gained 60 pounds in just under 3 years. I had no answers to why, I would workout, walk, eat right and the weight kept coming on. Finally, my doctor told me I had high blood pressure, was border line diabetic and I had some thyroid issues... I was crushed. I knew something was wrong but I didn't know what. I started searching for answers, looking to see what the medicines would cost me. I was looking at spending $300-500 a month just to regulate all my issues. My chiropractor suggested I look for something more, maybe even outside the box so I did. Decided to have the procedure done and I am so glad I did! My blood pressure is back to normal and I'm no longer borderline diabetic, being tested for thyroid next week. I feel amazing! I never knew I could feel this great! I have energy again. I signed up to even do my 1st 5K! Everyone thought I was crazy but to know now that I would feel this great I wouldn't have waited any longer!! I beam with excitement and such happiness! And of course the weight coming off is just a plus, I feel like a new me!
