Daniel - Getting Healthy For His Family

Advice for others

Daniel’s career was in the restaurant business where he spent long hours and late nights at his job. Daniel was diagnosed with high cholesterol, arthritis, and new onset diabetes. He was told that if he did not make significant life changes he would need to start medication for the treatment of diabetes.

It was after the diabetes diagnosis Daniel decided to change his life. He wasn’t able to play with his kids or do simple things like riding a bike and going to the beach. He decided he didn’t want to live that way any longer.

Two weeks after Daniel’s surgery, he was off all his medications. After seven months, he had lost 111 pounds and was proud to be an example to his kids.
