It's working!!!
I began following Dr. Axe about four weeks before starting the program. I have been a Type 2 Diabetic for 9 years and was on 3 medications for it. After following a few of Dr. Axe's suggestions such as the pumpkin spice smoothie, more EFA's. I am already off 2 of my medications. I am now on phase 1 week 2 and am keeping my sugars down. I am sticking to the suggested meal plans and am trying to incorporate the 6 build your plate foods to each meal. I am also exercising. I have been setting aside time to watch the videos and read the information given and focusing on my thoughts. I have also taken time for some time in the sauna for myself. I know my body is healing and I will be the 90% off medications!!! Thank you!!!
