The most common misconception I hear about doctors is that we’re all healthy and don’t get sick.
I mean, why would we?
We have all the knowledge and information we need to be healthy, right?
Well, not so much.
The lifestyle of a doctor can be fast-paced, always on the go, and riddled with stress.
Fatty liver is a condition where fat can essentially deposit on the liver and create an irritation.
In some people, it can cause hepatitis and eventually lead to severe liver damage.
I didn’t know what to do.
That was when I discoveredDr.
Andrew Weiland his integrative medicine center at the University of Arizona.
My journey in integrative medicine beganand I never looked back.
I also learned about nutritional supplements and natural therapies for common things like heartburn.
I completely remade my lifestyle (and my family’s lifestyle, too).
We did the same with our fridge and freezer.
We got rid of sugar-sweetened beverages and drastically cut down on anything processed.
We focused on whole foods that were organic and locally grown.
I increased my fiber intake and focused on healthy sources of fat.
In the first two or three weeks, I lost my first 10 pounds.
I started meditating every day and continually tried to focus on the positive aspects of life.
I got on a regular routine of being more physically active and spending more time outdoors.
All of these changes allowed me to get a more restful sleep at night.
When I got more sleep, my cravings for carbs went down.
And that meant no more bagels and cream cheese for breakfast.
In three months, I lost 40 pounds and transformed my health.
Before I knew it, about three months had passed since I started my own health journey.
I found that I needed new clothes because all my old clothes were too bigI had lost 40 pounds!
I couldnt believe it.
And as an added bonus, I was more energetic and my mind was sharper.
I no longer needed my prescription antacid, and my cholesterol panel normalized and so did my liver enzymes.
I had reversed my chronic problems naturally, and I felt better than ever.
I’ve made it my life mission to bring this message to everyone.
I changed the way I practice medicine and reinvented myself as a physician, and Ive never looked back.
Ive helped so many people improve their health and their lives the way I improved mine.
The most important lesson I learned?
Our bodies are pretty amazing.
