Why I do what I do….
In everything that I do, all that I talk about, all that I teach…my goal is to provide you with the necessary information and knowledge to live healthier and longer.
The secret to amazing health and sustained wellness is knowledge. Knowledge about what diseases you’re at risk for, greater knowledge about food and how to make healthier food choices and knowledge about you and your body.
And I can’t stress that enough. I see so many people everyday who come into the hospital with one complaint but leave with another complaint. Some people are diagnosed with a stroke, a heart attack, with diabetes or heart failure and leave the hospital with a new diagnosis that will change their lives. Having had a stroke or a heart attack is not bad enough. Now, they can’t even explain what happened to them. Every nurse, every doctor that comes into their room breeze in and breeze out without really taking the time to explain what a stroke or what a heart attack really is.
They complain that some doctors don’t take the time to explain what exactly they have, what it really means for them….how it will affect their daily routine…and what they need to change in their regular activities to survive the diagnosis.
But I don’t leave my patients’ room until all of their questions are answered. If they wonder why their arm or leg is still so weak after having a stroke, I thoroughly explain that a blockage in one of the arteries that supply their brain caused the stroke and that’s why their arm is weak. That’s why they have to limit the amount of cholesterol in their diet. That’s why keeping their blood pressure and blood sugar under control is so important. When I leave the room, patients have a clearer understanding of what’s going on, what other tests are needed and what exactly they need to do from now on.
I arm my patients with knowledge. Knowledge about their diseases, about how the problem manifests itself and how they can live and even cure the disease. This is what I do everyday. Everyday I give people the information and the knowledge to change their lives.
And that’s why I want to know what’s your most pressing issue that you want answered. I want to give you the answers that will unlock the chains that are holding you back from achieving amazing health. So stay tuned……
To your wellness,
The Health and Wellness Queen
