In August, hometown health producer Michelle Wargo shared with us her personal journey to wellness with the help of the specialists at Total Nutrition and Therapeutics in the villages. Now, six months into her treatment plan, Michelle shares how she's feeling and the changes she's seen.
When we first started this journey with Total Nutrition and Therapeutics, I was feeling horrible, which is why I went to see Lori and her team. And over the past couple of months, they things have improved greatly. I have a lot more energy. I am not getting sick as often as I was. My intestines basically don't hurt anymore. I mean, when I went to see her, I was really inflamed and did not feel good on the inside. And now I do. After seeing the results of my recent blood work and knowing that all these steps that I've been taking are working, it really rejuvenates my drive to heal every cell in my body and to be as healthy as I possibly can. They've armed me with tools and the information, and now I get to run with it. I know that the absence of feeling bad does not equal feeling good, but I'm on that journey. I'm taking those steps, and so now I'm feeling better. And I know that I'm actually healing my body. And my body is doing it. It's doing it through food, it's doing it through supplementation, and it's amazing. Blood work doesn't lie. And recently I was not drinking enough water and I forgot to take some of supplements that Lori said I really need. Some of the stuff came back that got a little worse. Most of them got better, and some stayed the same. And the way that Lori explained it to me was when you are detoxing your body and you come in in such a toxic, inflamed state like I was in, your body is going to process these things to eliminate the toxicity. So some of your levels are going to go up. So that makes sense to me. She also said that your levels are going down and that's good. That's what we wanted. I was so inflamed, especially every cell in my body, but also with my digestive tract, because that was really where the problem started. Those things have gone down through just my diet and supplementation. It's kind of amazing. So I've noticed the difference just because I feel the difference. But it's so validating to see the difference and the numbers and to have that to say, look, this works because it really does.
