"Now I have a reliable map to the destination of my dreams: a fit, healthy body"

Before I found Mindvalley, when my husband was alive, I weighed well over 300 pounds (140kg, for those of you who use a rational system of measurement). I was on eight medications, including two forms of injected insulin, injected Victoza, many pills, and oxygen supplementation 24/7 - I was literally suffocating under the weight of my own flesh. I could not walk a block unaided, I could not cook with my favorite cast iron skillet because I was too weak to pick it up empty, much less with food in it (the skillet weighs 8 pounds). In spite of following "best practice management" of my diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid dysfunction, and heart arrhythmias, I was dying by inches, and I knew it. Then, I lost my beloved husband. Grief-stricken, I barely ate for a month and lost weight. That felt pretty good, so I adopted the Paleo diet (not entirely strictly, I disagree with their views of legumes). I continued to lose weight. When I had lost 100 pounds (45kg), my weight loss stalled for six months. I switched to the Ketogenic diet and lost another 50 pounds (23kg). Then, I discovered Mindvalley and began to consolidate my "wins." I began water walking which improved my oxygenation and sleep quality. Then, I discovered Ben Greenfield and read "Beyond Training." Much of the information and advice in that book is simply not applicable to a tiny 65-year-old recovering diabetic, but I was impressed by the science. I promptly signed up for the Longevity Blueprint. I feel like I'm playing "catch-up" since I'm SO deconditioned and SO much older than the audience this program was designed for. I also have many orthopedic injuries to work around (carrying around all that extra weight beat up my joints I had compression fractures in my feet. for instance). But still, I persist. I can't do the full routines YET, but I'm getting there. The super-slow sets seem to have the best effect for me, and I am combining that with blood flow resistance and seeing excellent (albeit slow) progress. Now I have a reliable map to the destination of my dreams: a fit, healthy body Thanks for the guidance, Ben! .
