Perfect Labs: Returning My Body To Normal Took One Year, Eight Months
In November 2017, a rather honest doctor and a scary visit to Urgent Care made me change my life. After abusing my body for decades — I wanted to reverse the damages.
If you read my article from July 2018 Losing 70 Pounds in 8 Months: Questions Answered, you may be interested in knowing how things are going. Did I stay on it? Did I gain the weight back? How has this impacted my life?
In November 2017, at 6'1" tall, I weighed in at 296 pounds (that wasn’t my heaviest, by the way — I had tipped over 300 several times). My blood work was a mess — high bad cholesterol (127) and triglycerides (280), A1C over the roof (327 glucose), low “good” cholesterol (25) … you name it, I wasn’t in good shape.
By July 2018, I’d dropped to 219 pounds and my blood work slowly improving, but I certainly wasn’t out of the woods yet.
During the course of the six months, I got off of every single medication I was on for blood pressure, cholesterol … heart medication. In January 2019, I visited my cardiologist who said I was a text book patient and he wished to God his other patients would learn from me.
