Tackling High Cholesterol

N. made use of the free 20-min discovery chat that I offer, every Monday at Roche’s pharmacy in Bray.

Out of options

She asked me how I could help with her high cholesterol (8.1). As she does tolerate the statin medication, she knew the only option she had was to change her
diet.

However, she had seen a dietician 3 years ago and was told to just switch from full fat cheese to cottage cheese.

N. hates cottage cheese and it was enough to put her off “healthy eating”.

Feeling the difference

She agreed however to give my 9-week program a go. We made some small initial changes, and after just one week she reported that she already had better energy levels.

This extra energy gave her the motivation to start cooking again, from scratch! From there, things just kept getting better.

Exceeding expectations

When we completed the 9-week program, I asked her if the program met her expectations. This was N.’s response:

“Yes, and way more than what I expected.”

Feeling the results

We went on to compare her original health assessment with how she felt after the program and listed any noticeable improvements:

  • far more energy
  • highly motivated to eat better
  • not feeling deprived at all
  • sleeping better
  • better mood, and state of mind
  • got loads of things done that had been put on hold
  • far less use of her asthma inhaler
  • had a dose of chest infection but no way near as bad as she would usually get in the winter
  • no stomach cramps at all, which used to be a frequent occurrence
  • pain under her ribcage is gone
  • strong smell in urine is gone
  • fingernails have become stronger, they used to chip easily
  • cravings for cheese is completely gone
  • hasn’t had alcohol (voluntarily!)

N. will have her cholesterol checked again in 3 month’s time, so we will see the results in the blood tests. But she has no doubt that she will continue to stay on track. She feels empowered, and has the tools and motivation to do so.

Do you often ask yourself “WHY am I doing this at all?”

Do you often ask yourself “WHY am I doing this at all?”

By coincidence, I met someone who was training in Nutritional Therapy and she needed a guinea pig. She quickly identified what I was doing that drained my energy. I would never have thought of looking at food as I was not eating junk food at all and thought I was eating reasonably healthy. But a few changes changed my life – for the better! And they were easy to implement once I understand the “why”, and she also helped with the “how”.
These changes were so profound that I felt I need to share this information with my friends who were going through similar symptoms. (BTW, I know now that I was in peri-menopause, but nobody spoke about this back then!) I studied Health Coach, and went on to Nutritional Therapy (4 year course).

I wanted to become that one person that can change the whole live of someone else for the better!

I often get the reply “But life is too short to give up sugar” or “Life’s no fun without the sweet things” or “Isn’t it boring not to eat any sugar at all?” I used to ask those questions myself years ago, but that was when I was actually still addicted to sugar, but...
