Good nutrition is an important part of leading a healthy lifestyle. Combined with physical activity, your diet can help you reach and maintain a healthy weight, reduce your risk of chronic disease, and promote your overall health. But as Gary Wilson explains, good nutrition was the difference between life and death. The day he turned to the specialist at Total Nutrition and Therapeutics, I was anemic.
My blood was so bad and I was anemic. So bad that the weakness prevented me from doing a lot of things. I couldn't walk out and get the newspaper and come back. That's how weak I was. I was sleeping 14, 16 hours a day. I couldn't even get out of bed. I went to five different doctors in New Jersey, seven different doctors here. Nobody could solve the problem. And my primary physician told me a while back that I should go see a nutritionist. And I just, yeah, said, yeah, okay. And then this time he forced me to go see and he made the arrangements, and I went and saw Laurie and it's unbelievable. I never would have believed this if it happened to me. I didn't think that diet would help anything, but it's obvious that I was 100% wrong. I just can't. You have to experience it to see how well it worked out. Within two weeks, I was getting a lot of energy. Within three weeks, I was lifting weights and walking five miles a day when I couldn't walk out to get the newspaper. Now I'm walking five miles a day, all because of a diet. I still find it so hard to believe, but obviously I'm proof. My primary physician said I was on my way out, I was going to be dying soon. And that's why he forced me to go to the nutritionist. And that saved my life. You know, I was up to, at one point, 235 pounds. Now I'm down to 211, and that's with gaining 20 pounds of muscle. I've been on medications for about 15 years. You know, because I'm a diabetic and because of cholesterol, I'm off all my medications. I'm no longer a diabetic. I don't have AFIB anymore. I don't have any heart problems. I just can't believe this. I used to have to use a puffer to breathe. I don't use anything anymore. The only thing I take now is protein shakes and a couple vitamins. I'm off all my medications. First time in 15 years. My primary physician and Lori, they have saved my life, period. You can't ask for anything better than that.
