Bob Hoffman had fatigue, weight gain, and low motivation until blood work from Total Nutrition and Therapeutics revealed prediabetes and insulin resistance his doctor missed. Lori Esarey helped him address it without medication.
About 1,000 people a day move to Florida to enjoy our beautiful weather and our leisurely lifestyle. But for Bob Hoffman, enjoying that lifestyle was sometimes a bit of a struggle. As Bob explains, his overwhelming fatigue and sluggishness was not allowing him to enjoy life in the villages. So he turned to the specialists at Total Nutrition and Therapeutics to find answers.
I was lethargic. I had no motivation to get out of the house, to get off the couch, or, you know, not having the energy to do things and get out. I felt that there was something going on within me that I didn't know what it was. And I thought I needed professional help. Basically, I was eating the same amount of food, and yet I saw as I stepped on the scale that my weight was increasing. You know, I went, I gained about 10 pounds. So I knew. And I noticed some bloatedness in my belly area. In my gut, I said, something's wrong there too. So I couldn't figure it out. I didn't know. Through my chiropractor, he recommended me to Lori Essere and her TNT team here. And that's how it started. Well, if I had never come to tnt, I would have seeing my health care professional and he would have been telling me that your A1C levels are in the normal range. My life would be. I would think that I'm healthy and yet inside of me, without looking in detail at the blood work, you wouldn't know that there was a problem. Yet it's been shown in my blood work that I'm pre diabetic and I have insulin resistance. And my primary care doctor, he doesn't see those results. He just sees a 1C normal range. Your glucose level is a little high. We should get that down. He would inspire a spark in me to really get moving. And he probably would want to push statins and other medications, which I'm averse to. I have a different outlook now in my life. I want to finish strong and in more ways than one, and one of them is with my health.
