Episode 129 11/06/2025 [LIFE DESIGN] How Small, Daily Changes Can Add Up to Big Change💪
Description
In September 2024, I went in for my annual physical and everything seemed "fine". I had no aches or pains to complain of, yes, my clothes fit tighter than they had a year ago but I'm also on the verge of menopause. My body has changed and I didn't have any issues with that.
However, all was not as it appeared.
For the first time ever, I had elevated blood markers in EIGHT categories: liver enzymes (liver disease concern), all the cholesterols (heart disease concerns), hemoglobin A1C (diabetes concern), APOEB (cardiovascular disease). It was a serious wake-up call.
My cholesterol has been inching up every year of perimenopause, so that wasn't completely unexpected, but I realized that it was pulling the rest of my good health along for the ride, so I decided to focus on the cholesterol and the A1C and hope the other things came down with it.
ONE YEAR LATER...all but one of the markers is in a healthy zone and I weigh ten pounds less.
In this episode, I talk about the small daily changes that have had an outsize impact for me!!! (I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV. This is just my experience.)
