71 years old and truly thriving!

Story

By: Connie Jo Kugler Crowder

3 years ago I was in terrible shape. I had osteoporosis due to prescription meds and poor diet. I used to be a towering 5' 3.5" tall! Now I was just barely 5'1" with loose cervical and lumbar vertebrae pressing against my spinal cord. The pain was horrific. I finally concented to surgery which was amazingly successful, and was able to stop all the opioids. Then my home for 41 years burned down. The PTSD caused major anger and depression issues. I lost 20 lbs and all color in skin and hair. I felt I was dying. Then I met a man(a Cherokee Medicine man) who is a follower of Dr. Berg's methods. I changed my diet to keto and began intermittent fasting and meditation. I just came off an 8 day full fast! I am continuing with intermittent fasting. My mind is clearer than it has been in many years. I went from 82 lbs to 95lbs: all muscle! The inflammation in my joints is actually tolerable and I have given up even the marijuana I used for pain and mood elevation. I will never go back to a carb based diet. We are working with supplements to improve my sleep. My mentors training coupled with Dr. Berg's advice has made a new woman of me. I am happier than I have been in 40 years, and more active and productive than in the last 35 years. I thank God everyday for my new health and lifestyle. Anyone, with determination and proper guidelines, can improve their situation at any age. I look forward to at least another 20 years of wonderful living.
