Health diagnoses often receive a moment of concern followed by a familiar response: "It's not too bad; I'll deal with it later." This laid-back attitude can sometimes lead us down a slippery slope, where the 'later' becomes 'too late'. As days turn into weeks and weeks into months, the condition that was once in its early stages becomes a significant concern, often demanding rigorous treatments and big lifestyle changes.
Swathi's story is a testament to proactive self-care. When diagnosed with elevated cholesterol levels, a common precursor to various heart-related diseases, she didn't take the "I'll deal with it later" route. Instead, she took charge of her health. For her, the possibility of being on statins for life was not appealing. She wanted to improve her diet and lifestyle to reduce cholesterol naturally. In our discovery call I explained that she could follow my guidance even when on holiday over the summer.
Beginning her journey in June, Swathi began learning about what to eat, portions, meal timings, getting active and so much more. She was determined and committed. She was able to enjoy a mix of both Indian and other foods. She also began to introduce meditation and mindfulness, both shown to bring a sense of calm and relaxation.
In just three short months, her efforts have resulted in her cholesterol markers improving.
By choosing to act quickly, Swathi prevented her condition from escalating, thus avoiding the need for lifelong medications.
Don't take the risk of postponing health concerns. The consequences often involve not only strong medications but many health issues, significantly impacting the quality of life.
So, if you find yourself thinking about your blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, PCOS, thyroid, etc do remember Swathi's journey. You too can make a change.
Don't leave it to the future and risk being bogged down with medications and health concerns. Make a change now; your future self will thank you for it.
