Hi, my name is Julie and I am 34 years old and I have been a patient for MD lifespan about five and a half months. My journey started when I decided to do the initial visit plus labs. And I will be honest, I was completely shocked and freaked out by my result. Before I even sat down and talked to the doctor to review my results, I did a 4, 400 questionnaire where I just go into like a lot of details about my personal life. How I eat, my family history, how I sleep, what I do for fun. Like it was just a really in depth review into who I am. And then I did my blood work and before I even had my initial consultation with Dr. Paul, he actually called me. And it was a phone call I'll never forget. He's like, hey, Julie. And I'm like, hi. And he says, well, I have some questions for you. What's going on? And he says, do you have aches? I'm like, not really. He goes, are you really tired? And I'm like, no, I mean average. And he goes, okay, do you have a rash on your face? And I said, no, what is going on? Why are you asking me these questions? And he goes like, well, according to your blood work, it looks like you have lupus, but because you did this questionnaire and because I know you personally, I don't think you have lupus. And I was just really freaked out. I'm like, I don't want lupus. Like, I'm only 34, like, I, this is too much. And he goes like, let me take a look again, we'll review this and let's get into this. And so when I had my 90 minute consultation with him, which really, truly took the whole 90 minutes, you know, we just figured out that my inflammation is just totally crazy. It's off the charts. And I had, I had some work to do. I need to get this figured out. Another really significant thing that was showed up on my blood work is my immune system was showing like a lot of white blood cells. And according to my questionnaire that I did, you know, I was going to the bathroom a lot. And you know, for me, I just had a baby about 18 months ago. And so I had this thought like, oh, you have a baby, you have to go to the bathroom a lot. This is pretty normal for people. And that's what they all say, right? It's just what, you accept this with your future? And Dr. Paul goes, no, you actually have a bladder infection. And I said, well, I don't feel like I have a bladder Infection. That doesn't make any sense to me. He was like, no, I'm looking at your blood work and I know that you have one, and I'm okay. Like, what do we do? So he sent in a prescription, and three days later, I was feeling much better. And so my, like, that whole chapter of my life is, like, totally changed now thanks to him. And I thought I was gonna have to live with this forever. That's my blood work story. And it was just really eye opening. And from that point, with my inflammation being such an issue. He says, you really need to work with Dr. Nicole and start one of our weight loss programs. Here I am, five and a half months later of working with Dr. Nicole, and I have lost 48 pounds on the triazepatide weight loss program. I have been a person that has done the diets. I have tried all the fad things, you know, where you sign up and you meet once a week or, you know, it's just I've done it before. I lost the weight, gained it back. Lost the weight, gained a back. This has been my life pattern for a very long time. Dr. Nicole is helping me understand proper nutrition that is actually beneficial to your body. I am eating whole, whole foods now that are grown from the earth, not processed. I stopped drinking Diet Coke, you know, because you can drink Diet Coke on those other weight loss plans, of course there's no calories, but with this, it's like, no diet. You shouldn't drink it because of all the chemicals and the other elements of it. That it's just not natural. You know, thanks to working with Dr. Nicole, now I have a better understanding of the importance of organic, of true health foods. And for now, it's like, this is something that I am going to take with me in the Future. Working with Dr. Nicole and on the Triazepatide diet, I have. My appetite has decreased. That is the whole point of the weight loss program. And when I have a smaller appetite and I don't feel like eating as much, I actually make much better health choices. I don't have the desire to eat any ice cream. I don't have the desire to go get McDonald's or any bad fast food. Like, I understand that, like, oh, I need to eat something that to get me through the next few hours. Like, I'm gonna eat a better health choice meal. Because now since I've been working with her, I have been educated and I'm understanding how toxic processed foods are, how bad Diet Coke is for you, how you stay out of like away from anything in a box. You need to eat whole foods and is organic and is cool clean as possible. I am learning the nutrients tricks that I can carry with me throughout my life to help make better meals for myself and for my family and then actually not hopefully have to go through another diet program. This feels like I'm actually learning and I am evolving into a better person now and I don't have to worry about this again in the future once I get to my goal weight. That is just something that I think I wanted to share with everyone today and then maybe another six months or eight months down the road you'll get to see my next video and when I hit my weight loss goals and what else I'm doing with MD lifespan.
