I am 68 years old, and I have had a long life of trauma, poor living habits, and a reckless relationship with food. As a recovering addict and alcoholic, my obsessive/compulsive behaviors have taken their toll.

I have tried to improve my plight physically, mentally, and emotionally by changing my life in myriad ways. I ran the gamut of trying popular trends to desperate measures I thought might work.

My first wake-up call was cancer

I don’t think I was ever really committed to making permanent changes in my habits until I had breast cancer 6 years ago. I was very fortunate enough to have caught it in time to have it completely removed.  However, I didn’t rally from that experience very well.

It finally dawned on me that I was the one who had to make the difference in the kind of health I would experience going forward. I needed to take responsibility.

Health movies like Joe’s opened my eyes

Watching the documentaries “Forks Over Knives” and “Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead” were the catalysts I needed to start transforming the way I was living.  My mind was opened to the facts that cannot be disputed. My food and lifestyle choices would have significant impacts on my future.

I tried to make changes and learn better eating patterns by myself. Finally, I decided I would do better with a support system in place. I finally chose to do the 60 Day Guided Reboot for Diabetes.

Progress over perfection

I was not the model of perfection in my Reboot group.  But, I can tell you I made progress that has lasted beyond the Reboot. I am sure I could not have accomplished on my own.

My sugar numbers leveled out and I no longer take Metformin.* While I didn’t lose significant weight, I did “trim up” if that makes sense. I have become stronger since the Reboot, which enables me to be a lot more active and flexible.

My friends and family continue making comments about my healthier glow. I sleep so much better than before I started my Reboot. My skin and hair have gone from itchy and dry to moist and silky. My nails are firmer, and I no longer use antacids for heartburn.

What I’d tell someone considering a Reboot

Overall, I learned a lot of things I just didn’t know before, and that’s coming from someone who always thinks she has all the answers!

In the webinars, I learned about processes the body goes through that I didn’t understand before. Making sense of it all was important to me if I was going to make permanent changes.

I took advantage of the one-on-one access to my coach, Rhaya, and I was so thankful to get her expert answers to my questions and her positive support throughout.  I also loved reading the other group members’ blogs.

For me the biggest changes have been mental and emotional. My mind became sharper, my priorities clearer, and in general, I have a greater feeling of peace.  So, my experience joining a Reboot was worth the time, effort and money. I am considering doing it again.
