Before working with Donna I struggled with diabetes and high blood pressure. I had a stroke in November of 2020 and was taking lots of medicine that was making me feel sick. My doctor warned me that with my lab values the way they currently were, my kidneys were in danger and it could lead to me needing dialysis in the future. This scared me. Donna was a friend of mine. I knew she was a nurse so I was sharing my concerns with her. She told me she was a health and wellness nurse coach and that she could help me make changes in my lifestyle to improve my health. I decided to work with her.

 

She explained to me what was happening in my body and what my medications were for. She taught me about how changing my diet could heal my body and improve my diabetes and blood pressure. She gave me resources to help me learn about the foods I was eating. She gave me tools to track my food, blood sugar, blood pressure and weight daily. She helped me to understand what was happening in my body. She worked with me and was by my side all the way.

 

Within a couple of months after I changed what I was eating my blood pressure and blood sugars started going down. I never felt hungry and I liked the foods I was eating. So far I have lost 25 lbs! My blood sugars and blood pressure are now in a safe range. My doctors were happy to see the changes I have been able to make. My life has totally changed thanks to Donna!
