📣👊🏿 In this new episode of @WatchGodWorkTV with @adjah_l, we welcome our sister Coach Gessie Thompson (@coachgessie)
Coach Gessie Thompson is a Nutritionist, Coach and CEO @TheDeToxNow and is one of the 90% of Black Women affected by fibroids by age 50.
She personally battled the epidemic for 14 years and the resulting infertility for 10 of those years to have her miracle baby @AuthenticNia. Her grueling journey included 10 surgeries, five IVF cycles, a devastating miscarriage and even her heart stopping on the delivery table.
Her story gained national attention when @ESSENCE published her profile titled "My Fertility Journey" in the 2014 Mother's Day issue sparking a chain reaction of transformation that included releasing her bestselling book HOPE BEYOND FIBROIDS: Stories of Miracle Babies & the Journey to Motherhood, becoming a Nutritionist & Health Coach, hosting her DETOX LIVING podcast and co-founding both The DeTox and HerElimination Programs on her mission to end inflammatory diseases such as Fibroids, Diabetes, Heart Disease and more. She educates and empowers people to reverse and prevent diseases holistically through what she calls DETOX LIVING—Life FREE of Toxic Thoughts, Habits, People and Definitely Foods!
From diet to stress management, her transformative holistic programs teach lifestyle changes that have resulted in the documented cases of one woman alone eliminating up to 50 MRI documented fibroids without surgery, women having miracle babies—including one case involving 12 years of infertility—and the reversal of inflammatory disease such as Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol and more.
Thompson has also been recognized as a “Change Maker” for her work around Women’s Reproductive Health by The White House’s United State of Women. Thompson has shared her message at ESSENCE Festival, T. D. Jakes' MegaFest, Circle of Sisters EXPO, the National Action Network's inaugural Women's Summit, the Get H.I.P.P. About Your Health Conference in the U.K. and across various media platforms including "The Breakfast Club," USA TODAY, FOX, ABC, “NewsOne Now with Roland Martin,” "HuffPost Live," “The Tom Joyner Morning Show,” ARISE TV, “The Frank Ski Morning Show,” MadameNoire.com, CoCoFab.com to name a few.
