Cheryl L.
As a 71+ year old woman
As a 71+ year old woman, I had been a workaholic over the years, while occasionally exercising and making on/off decisions on eating a healthier diet, I was well over 200 pounds. I had been diagnosed with diabetes and heart failure in 2019, and my weight was 219 at the time. In late 2024 I read about the Vegan Gym and since Dr. Michael Gregor was endorsing it, I thought I would give it a try. I joined in January 2025 and immediately felt encouraged and motivated by the program, my coach, and the Vegan Women's Circle. As I began to follow the program for my eating and workouts, I began to lose weight, feel better, and was encouraged. I now have developed the habit of tracking my calories and protein to fuel my body and workouts. I am now down to 159, no longer taking Metformin and have now no symptoms of diabetes, and was recently informed by my Cardiologist that I no longer have heart failure. This way of living isn't a diet, but a lifestyle for health. My trainer Tiana B. from The Vegan Gym has been very helpful with weekly calls, motivational reminders, encouragement when I get into a negative mindset, and availability. She is the best! I am encouraged to think that as I continue on this path that I will be able to be healthy well into my sunset years and physically and mentally able to care for my dear husband who has Parkinson's Disease.
