Your Personalized Path to Total Health Starts Here

 Meet Linda and Ron

My husband and I started working with Marcy November of 2023.
I was a type 2 diabetic on 2 different medications.
I had IBS,  so much inflammation in my body that I couldn’t sit or stand without pushing off with my hands or putting my hands down on the seat to help myself.
I couldn’t make it thru a meal without going to the bathroom due to the IBS.
At one point I got down on my knees to pull weeds in the flowerbed and it took me about 30 minutes to get myself back up from the ground due to the pain.
After eating on plan for 3 days I noticed a difference with the IBS.
After a week I saw lower blood sugar counts.
Within 3 weeks I was off of one of the diabetic meds.
Within the first few weeks I saw the inflammation in my body lessen.  It was easier to sit and stand without using my hands to help myself.
After 3 months I was now off of all medications. 
My A1c went from 7.1 to 6.3.
I am no longer experiencing issues with inflammation and can get down in the floor and play with my grandkids or outside to pull weeds.

It’s been 18 months and as long as I eat on plan I feel no pain in my joints and my sugar levels are in the normal range.  While I am not perfect on plan I will never stop eating this way. 

Thanks,
Linda Collins

Meet Laurie Spangler

I joined the program and started working with Marcy in July of 2022.  I was at my biggest in terms of weight and probably my unhealthiest as well.  I was a diabetic on an oral medication and an insulin shot at night with an average A1C of 7.5 even with those medications.  I had high cholesterol, high blood pressure, chronic pain (I took either Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen multiple times a day), I never got a good night’s sleep despite taking an Ambien every night and sometimes Melatonin on top of the Ambien. I was tired all the time and never had any energy to do anything other than go to work and come home and recline in my chair.  Sometimes it was all I could do to walk down the halls at work, I often felt like someone had tied cement blocks to my legs. I felt much older than my 62 years.  I never had the desire to do anything.  I avoided social gatherings because I wasn’t comfortable in my clothes or truly in my own skin.  I avoided things like concerts, the theater, etc because I didn’t comfortably fit into the seats.  Life was literally passing me by.  Of course I had tried every diet plan known to man.  I’d lose a little weight, eventually go off the “diet” and gain every bit of it back plus more too.  I joined Marcy because I saw my sister begin to have success with it and being close sisters, we shared many of the same health challenges.  Once I took the plunge and joined, one of the first talks I listened to was Marcy’s talk on cellular nutrition.  A light bulb turned on  in my head that had never turned on before.  Eat to feed my cells so they can do their job??  Wow, that actually kind of made sense! That was truly a turning point for me.  I realized that what I put into my body would determine what my body did for me and up to this point in my life, I had not put the right stuff in!  That’s a simple way of putting it, but it’s how I saw it.  The education in this program has truly been life saving for me.  No special foods, no pills, no special powders or supplements….just real food from the grocery store.  Long story short, here I am writing my testimony almost 3 years later.  I’m down over 100 pounds, down from a size 4X/5X to an XL.  Wearing clothes I never thought I could wear!  I’m off about 7 medications, have totally reversed my diabetes and now when they test my A1C, it’s 5.0 or under and that’s with absolutely no diabetes medication!  My blood pressure medication had to be lowered (still hoping to come off that) and off my cholesterol medication.  No more aches and pains, no more sleeping pills.  I sleep like a baby every night and wake up feeling refreshed.  I have tons of energy to the point that sometimes I just don’t know what to do with it!  I work out at the gym, not because I have to but because I enjoy it.  I love getting dressed up and going to the theater or to any social eventbecause I’m comfortable now with my body and with the way I look. I have people tell me all the time that I look like I’m aging backward! This is not a diet, it’s a lifestyle and it’s a great one!  I still have some more weight to lose and I know I will lose it.  It’s about health and the weight loss is a secondary benefit.  I will never go back to the way I was living before, not after getting a taste of being healthy!  I’m not sure what my life would like right now, as I approach turning 65 this year, had I not joined Focus On Health. But I can for sure say, it wouldn’t be as good as it is!  Join us!  What have you got to lose, other than your bad health!!
