Thank you so much, Terri. That was an awesome introduction. I appreciate it.

You totally caught my attention. First, let's start with the health transformation in losing 105 pounds. I'm excited to hear how this journey transpired and what occurred.

It has been a long journey, about fifteen years. I put on a lot of weight when I was in my late teens due to a dysfunctional relationship I had and manifested another dysfunctional relationship because of that. What happened was I gained a lot of weight in a short period of time and I developed some health conditions because of being severely overweight. There was a point where I had enough. I fell asleep driving because I had sleep apnea so bad and that was one of my a-ha moments. I had to wake up and do something because I was only about nineteen years old and I had all kinds of issues with my health.

I decided to start researching and learning everything I possibly could. I was educating myself and learned a lot. It enabled me to be able to share this information with people who may be experiencing similar health-related issues, whether it's being overweight, having sleep apnea, diabetes, or other lifestyle-related health concerns. I decided to find my passion to helping people and coaching them. I wrote a book about my journey and everything I've learned. I do blogging. I do stuff to help people on their journey, not only to weight loss, healthy eating, and nutrition but even in other areas like financial health, relationships, communication and career. It's a lifestyle approach.

105 pounds is a lot of weight. That's a big accomplishment.

It's like a whole new person.

I weigh 104 pounds and I was like, "That's a whole me." The fact that you've figured out how to use food to heal your body, talk a little bit about what that means.

The concept of Hippocrates, the Father of Modern Medicine, he said, "Like thy food is thy medicine and medicine be thy food." That's basically what everything that I do revolves around when it comes to nutrition and wellness because we're given this food, this food on the planet, the herbs, plants, nuts, seeds, and food in animals, we're getting screwed here to feed that body. We turn to medication when we start experiencing symptoms to cover our symptoms, but that's all that the medication does.
