I spoke about how my skin issues reversed, now I want to share about the issues I had that were internal. I had developed hypothyroidism while I was obese. My doctor wanted me to start medication, but I really didn't want to be on medication for the rest of my life (as my doctor told me I'd have to be). This was in the middle of my journey, before I had fully started to eat healthy food. But I knew by then that I shouldn't have to be on medication forever. I knew my body could heal itself. After watching 'The Gerson Miracle', I was even more convinced. I consulted with another medical professional who I thought was into natural healing, but she also told me that food would not cure this. I knew in my gut that I had to try. But it would take me a couple of months to fully dive into the Eat to Live lifestyle.
My blood pressure had always been in the normal range, but as I teetered toward the 246 pound range on my 5'4" frame, my blood pressure showed the stress on my body. The bottom number would delve into the 90's.
