In 2010, Melissa had a number of health problems she was dealing with. She was taking 5 different medications for acid reflux, allergies, depression, her thyroid, and an estrogen pill. She was prediabetic, had hypertension, high cholesterol, was diagnosed with fatty liver disease and weighed in at over 300 pounds and had failed lap-band surgery.

Today, Melissa is off all of her medications, she has lost over 80 pounds, grows her own greens, and is enjoying living an active lifestyle.
