"I starting fasting and inflammation was reduced. The pain in my lower back disappeared, the pain in my shoulder is now gone close to 90%, and recovered its mobility"

Dear Community, 
I’m so happy to have concluded the Health and Body Mastery program! It’s been an eye opener for me! 
I spent the past 30 years doing all kind of stuff that I though was healthy, but never realized how I was hurting my body. 
As Purchasing Director for one of the biggest car makers in the world, I thought I had a successful life. But a few years ago, I realized I had fallen into addition to cope with stress, I had two surgeries due to bad habits at work, like not drinking water and being seated most of the day. 
The pandemic made it worst! Now I had to spend even more time in front of my computer and longer time seated in virtual meetings! My lower back started to hurt, as well as my shoulders! 
Beside my work stress, I also lived afraid of chronic diseases, especially cancer! I didn’t know my grandmother. She died of cancer even before my mother got married! Then, in 2003, my dad sister died of cancer in her 40s. 6 years ago, my sister was diagnosed with cancer. And year and a half ago, my wife was also diagnosed with cancer! 
I thought I could help them, after reading a lot about vitamins and minerals. I thought that was all the body needed to avoid oxidative stress and be healthy. Today, both my sister and wife continue fighting their cancer! 
My self-esteem was low, I didn’t like my body, I was sad and disappointed to see my sister´s cancer evolve and almost kill her. I didn’t want to see my wife going through the same pain. I changed my diet to support my wife, turned into almost vegan, but starting losing weight. I lost 22 pounds in 12 months (14% of my total weight!) 
I started recovering from my addiction, and through the 12 steps I learned the importance of “self-care” and tried to take better care of my body. At that point of time, the Health and Body Mastery came to me! 
I started to better understand my body! To listen to my body! I understood my mistakes in my diet, I was eating almost no protein! I starting fasting and inflammation was reduced. The pain in my lower back disappeared, the pain in my shoulder is now gone close to 90%, and recovered its mobility. 
I starting gaining weight again, 9 pound in the past 4 months, this time only muscle! I feel stronger when I play with my 4- and 8-year-old daughters, I have more energy when I come back from work every day, I sleep better and longer, and I deal with the stress from work in healthy ways, especially exercise, meditation, walks at night and reading before sleep. I drink my smoothies every day, and complement with protein powder and creatin. 
It’s a different life! And I love it! 
My life now is more stable, less stress, I’m focused on my self-care, my addiction is under control, I have the energy to do things, play or do my share at home every afternoon, my self-esteem has improved, I like how my body looks, and I see myself healthier and stronger every day now in my 50s, than in the past 30 years! 
Thank you Ronan and the team, thank you Mindvalley!
