| It was June 2020, my head was pounding and I was ignoring a lot of important symptoms. A routine check-up led me to a type-2 diabetes and high blood pressure diagnosis. At 54 years old, I found myself at serious risk of a stroke. My father recently died from complications from a stroke, and I am a caregiver to my severely disabled adult son who had an intraventricular hemorrhage/stroke as a baby. I knew I needed to make a change, but had been struggling to find the right diet and exercise plan for my entire adult life. Who knew my greatest opportunity for change would come from one of my weakest moments? Dr. McDougall to the rescue! Once I found The Starch Solution, everything fell into place. I started in June 2020, scared, overwhelmed and over 183 pounds at 5’5”. By September 2020, I was down to 150 pounds and already felt so much better! |
