I was 39 when I had my first heart attack back in 2004. I was diagnosed with heart disease and diabetes, was 105 pounds overweight and suffering high blood pressure, cholesterol, and numerous other maladies. I came home from the hospital feeling alone, broken, and hopeless.
I dove into the health sciences with the firm belief that my body could heal itself, if I could just understand how it works and how I could work with it. I learned that in fact my body could heal, and it wasn’t even hard to do.
What WAS hard were the many psychological blocks that stood in my way: emotional eating, confusion and overwhelm, and never quite enough motivation to stick with the process.
Maybe you are feeling something similar in your life. Maybe your health, maybe your career, maybe your relationships. The actual process of success can be learned and usually isn’t all that hard once you understand it, but the psychological roadblocks are murder.
Fortunately, I had great mentors and a powerful drive to learn and change, and in just two years I had lost those 105 pounds, reversed my heart disease and diabetes, and restored energy in my body to an extent I hadn’t felt since much (much) younger days. I have been disease-free since 2006, and continue in dynamite health to this day.
