Michael Edwards received a devastating diagnosis of type 2 Diabetes and initially was in disbelief as he had always been active earlier in life and playing basketball and other sports in school but as family life and work took over raising 3 children and moving to a new location. Michael did not realize how sedentary his life had become and what commuting to work 1.5 hours each way picking up breakfast at the nearest fast-food place on the way and business lunches out most days with clients. the real toll this took on his health and body over time. Being faced with this realization following his diagnosis, Michael went from denial to acceptance, research, and resolve to change his outcome.

After numerous fad diets and following all kinds of plans for weight loss. Michael eventually got it right after trial and research and determination to get his health back and age strong and in better health. Michael took his A1C from a high of 12. something to under 5 which is in the normal range.

Volunteering with his church at nursing homes and senior centers. and witnessing many of the people he ministered to probably not a whole lot older than himself, in wheelchairs with loss of mobility and all kinds of ailments. Michael became starkly aware that he did not want to age this way.

Today Michael is a fitness coach and is an avid walker and an advocate of strength training for people his age and older who are of the mindset they want to be stronger and healthier in their golden years.

Lauren Nelson is an alternative health practitioner, who helps clients find the root causes of their chronic health issues. After 16 years of being housebound and bedbound, she took healing into her own hands and now helps others live their healthiest and best lives.

Lauren Nelson was a teenager when mysterious exhaustion began to plague her. Despite countless tests and efforts to reduce stress, her health only declined. She eventually moved to a dry, desert-like town in Oregon, and upon moving, started to feel better.

After searching for answers and through discovery, Lauren found out her home had been riddled with toxic mold, and that 25% of the population cannot detox it. After getting a celiac diagnosis and going gluten free, she was able to add some foods back into her diet and is now helping her stage four cancer-stricken mother optimize her own health.

Lauren has come to realize that optimizing health is a combination of medical and natural healing and that food is medicine. She encourages her clients to diversify their diets and use blood work to discover what is going on in their bodies.

In this episode, you will learn the following:

1. How changing one's environment can help improve your health?

2. Hear Lauren talk about a way to bridge traditional and natural healing practices?
