In my 20s, I found out I already had advancing heart disease. My arteries were thickening and I had visible plaque, not to mention all the wrong kinds of cholesterol and high levels of inflammation.
But the doctor who told me this info couldn't tell me what to do about it other than eat at "heart healthy" diet and exercise.
Not only did that advice not help my disease improve, the condition worsened at a rapid pace.
It wasn't until I learned about the true underlying driver - insulin resistance and poor metabolic health - that I was able to turn it all around.
This presentation details my challenging (yet ultimately successful) journey to reversing heart disease, insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction without medications. I'll share several false beliefs I had going into this journey and that I repeatedly see with my clients as well. Once those are busted, we can get to what really does work.
