I am a recent retiree, and have collected my fair share of ailments along the way, a cocktail of obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and a few stents to boot.<\/strong> Seven daily medications, one to offset the impact on my stomach of some of the other six! <\/span><\/p>\n

My gut health journey began earlier this year, when I tested as having blood sugar treading into type 2 territory. At that point I had two choices: even more medication or a rapid change in lifestyle. I chose the latter, within 3 months I was comfortably within normal blood sugar range, now after 8 months I am 23kg lighter, fitter than I can remember and eating incredibly well. <\/strong><\/span>In those 8 months, I haven’t calorie counted. I’m an evangelist, sharing my story with anyone who will listen. <\/span><\/p>\n

The first conscious step I took was by almost accident – I came across Megan’s article and recipe for fermented wheaten bread<\/a> and I’ve been eating it ever since. It’s not that one recipe that has made the difference, but what stands behind it. I’ve transformed my diet from “5 a day” to “30 a week,” albeit in the last month I have averaged over 60 a week, whilst also widening and extending my hobbies to promote a better and healthier life.<\/strong> Thank you Dr Megan Rossi!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
