In 2017 I achieved my highest weight ever at 270 pounds at 29.5% body fat. At that time, I was on two maintenance meds, one for cholesterol and another for blood pressure, and was well on my way to a third maintenance med for A1C issues. I had little energy, little desire to do much of anything, and most of all was missing out on what is most important to me, which is family. I knew on my current path that if a change did not occur, I would become just another statistic. At this point, I knew that I had zero control over my health, but my health, more precisely, lack of health, had all the control over me.I decided enough was enough, and it was time to change. I started the journey with the goal of getting into shape and off all maintenance meds. At first, I showed little improvement, if any, due to the lack of knowledge and understanding of weight loss. I dedicated myself to becoming a weight loss student using the knowledge and understanding that allowed for 65 pounds to come off and say goodbye to my meds.At this point, I went from seeing the doctor(s) many times a year to once a year for an annual physical and realized I was paying the same amount for my insurance. I wondered how this could be and thought back to my Humana’s days and realized how broke, inefficient, and unfair the system is. I created YourHealth™ to provide a more affordable option for healthy individuals and help unhealthy individuals improve their health and lower their costs. Here’s to improving our healthcare system, one individual at a time.
