“I have lost over 100 pounds, identified 2 major health issues and cured 3 others”

I was sitting in a Doctors office: 51 years old and 340 weight. This Whitecoat told me there was no doubt that we should set up Bariatric Bypass Surgery and that I was grossly Morbidly Obese. A year later I had lost over 100 pounds, identified 2 major health issues and cured 3 others (GERD, IBS, Acid Reflux). Yes, Cured (I got rid of the root cause) AND completed a triathlon. 2 1/2 years later I completed Ironman Canada (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile Bike, 26.2 mile Run) in 14:35. Today Ben continues to coach me with the goal of Kona and to be competitive within my age group and with Ben’s guidance it will happen, it has to.”
