John's story is one of determination, lifestyle change, and remarkable results. At 52 years old, he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes with an A1C of 8.5. Today, just 8 months later, his A1C is 5.4 and he's medication-free.
The Diagnosis
"I was shocked," John recalls. "I knew I was overweight, but I never thought I'd develop diabetes. My doctor wanted to start me on medication immediately."
Making the Decision
Instead of immediately starting medication, John asked his doctor for 90 days to try lifestyle changes. His doctor agreed, with the condition that they monitor his progress closely.
The Three-Pillar Approach
Diet Changes John started drinking the Green Smoothie every morning and eliminated processed foods from his diet. He focused on vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
Exercise Routine He began with just 10 minutes of walking after each meal. Within a month, he was walking 30 minutes daily and doing anti-gravity exercises three times per week.
Meditation Practice "This was the hardest part for me," John admits. "But I started with just 3 minutes of breathing exercises each morning. It made a huge difference in my stress levels."
The Results
- **Month 1:** A1C dropped to 7.8
- **Month 3:** A1C at 6.9
- **Month 6:** A1C at 5.9
- **Month 8:** A1C at 5.4 (non-diabetic range)
John also lost 45 pounds and reports having more energy than he's had in years.
His Advice
"Start small. Don't try to change everything at once. Pick one thing—for me it was the Green Smoothie—and build from there. And don't give up if you have a bad day. Just start again the next day."
