What were you doing prior to enrolling at Integrative Nutrition?

I was already in a fight for my life, very sick with 20 conditions. My life was just being in bed most of the time, watching the clock to not forget to take my medications ‒ for years.

How did your life change after enrolling?

It’s a blessing to get all the knowledge and understanding to complete what I started, against doctors’ recommendations. Now I can do even more than people who’d be considered healthier and are younger than me!
