The aftermath of getting COVID-19 in July of 2020 left me with debilitating inflammation. I went from a plant-based diet to strict Carnivore trying to figure out what my body needed to heal. For the past 2 years, I struggled with the inability to work out due to such intense pain in my joints. I also have been studying non-stop for school and medical boards on top of 18-hour work days. I definitely lost my work/life/balance which caused a hormone imbalance and insulin resistance. The day I stepped on the scale for the first time in two years was March 2, 2022, tipping the scales at 170lbs. I wasn't being the best version of myself and decided to make a change. I ran a thorough bloodwork panel on myself to figure out where I needed to start making the changes. It wasn't pretty and it hasn't been easy, but it's definitely been worth it. I ran follow-up bloodwork on myself a week ago and my insulin resistance has completely gone away and my hormones are back within normal levels. As I hit my 5-month mark tomorrow, I am officially 50 pounds down. My inflammation has disappeared and my workouts are better than ever. But more than anything I found balance in my life. Every day I strive to be the BEST VERSION of myself, remember without your health nothing else matters.
