The sterile white walls of the doctor's office seemed to mock me. My blood sugar numbers were a disaster.

I remember the sterile white walls of the doctor's office seemed to mock me. My blood sugar numbers were a disaster, and the doctor's words echoed in my ears like a cow bells. "Type 2 diabetes." I felt like I was drowning in a sea of sugar, and the only life preserver was a mountain of medication.

Desperate, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I ditched the processed foods, the sugary sodas, and the crapy lifestyle that had become my comfort zone. I signed up for a fitness class. I even started back cooking – something I'd always did like to do.

My healthy cooking were…interesting. I was back in the kitchen! My "healthy stir-fry" came out perfect , and my "protein smoothie" tasted incredible! But I persevered, fueled by a stubborn streak and the terrifying prospect of living on a mountain of medication.

Slowly, I started to see results. My energy levels increased, my mood improved, and my blood sugar numbers began to stabilize. I even started to enjoy some of my cooking experiments! The fit class, while still a form of torture, was becoming a strangely enjoyable way to sweat out my frustrations.

One day, I decided to push myself further outside my comfort zone. I signed up for a local 5k run. Running? Me? The guy who used to pant after walking up a flight of stairs? It seemed utterly ridiculous. Lol!

Training was brutal. I wheezed, I coughed, I swore I was going to die. But I kept going. Every step, every mile, was a victory. And then, the day of the race arrived.

I crossed the finish line, exhausted but exhilarated. I had done it. I had stepped outside my comfort zone, faced my fears, and accomplished something I never thought I could. More importantly, I had taken control of my health.

Looking back, I realize that stepping outside my comfort zone wasn't just about running a race or conquering diabetes. It was about rediscovering myself, about finding strength and resilience I never knew I possessed. It was about proving to myself that I was capable of more than I ever imagined.

And now, as a Certified Diabetes Reversal Specialist, I get to help others do the same. I get to guide them through the process, to cheer them on as they step outside their own comfort zones and reclaim their health. It's a challenging job, but it's also incredibly rewarding.

Because I know firsthand that stepping outside your comfort zone, even when it feels impossible, can lead to extraordinary results.

Here's to your health,
