Success on the Health Journey
Denise’s story (In Her Own Words):
I never was one to eat healthy growing up. My mom and dad TRIED their best to do so. We always had a garden, made sure we didn’t eat too much junk food and so on.
Well, fast forward about twenty something years and I’m in my mid-thirties with four children, a great hubby and a host of health problems! The hubby and children I’ll keep but I’ll pass on the health problems. So when they opened a new Earth Fare near my home in Knoxville, TN I seriously started looking at ways I could naturally either rid or lower myself of some my health issues.
The main one was that I was diagnosed as a borderline Type 2 diabetic! I knew I had to do something quickly since this is what killed my mom’s grandma (Mama Adele is what we called her) and my sister had gestional diabetes with all three of her pregnancies. The great folks at Earth fare helped me to map out a plan including the use of cinnamon to regulate my insulin production and coconut oil also and switching to whole grains. I did this for 6 weeks and when I went for a restest-my normals were normal. My doctor just shook his head and declared that I did NOT need to be put on meds for diabetes!
I also want to thank the staff at the Bearden store, especially Miss Abby, who recently suggested that we might want to have our oldest son tested for allergies since he had been feeling rather ill on and off for sometime. Come to find out-she was absolutely right on target with the allergies. Koenig (our son) is now being treated for seasonal allergies and it has made a world of difference.
I cannot thank the great folks at Earth Fare’s Knoxville (Bearden location) enough for all their great help, friendliness and willingness to go the extra mile for their customers.
