One Call That Can Change Your Life
In 2007, I received one of those late night calls that everyone dreads. I remember quite clearly jumping out of bed and pacing as I spoke with the paramedic and I shared my father’s medical history. I dropped to my knees barely aware of the cold hard tile they informed me that they were unable to revive Dad. My world rocked on its axis. My family and I—the world—had lost the loving, vivacious, larger than life person that was my father. What’s worse is the knowing that his death could have been prevented. Dad was one of 400, 000 people who died that year from heart disease, and I am to do something about preventing someone else from getting that call.
This year I have resolved to put my years of training in the medical field and as a coach to work to help others to live well and beat this epidemic. Teaming up with Acupuncturist Dr. David Martin, we have developed a program that combines sensible eating, a walking program (and we walk with you!) with acupuncture to control cravings, help you relax and promote wellness. Whether you choose to participate in the IResolve program at the clinic or not, you can join us for walks weekly or start walking on your own (with your doctor’s permission) and join my mailing list for free weekly health tips.
For more information on Dr. Martin’s feelings about heart disease, please view his latest blog at:Lotus Blossom Clinic.
Be well,
