Where have I been all summer 🤔
While still training my clients and myself, I was battling a health issue that no one, including my doctors, could make much sense of. It all started in March of this year when I tested positive for COVID for the first time.
Just a few weeks after contracting it, I began having random symptoms - swollen lymph nodes, stabbing pain in my ear, vision problems, including sensitivity to light, muscle atrophy, extreme fatigue and more. Well, after extensive testing for things like autoimmune disease and cancer, it was ultimately determined that it was viral and secondary to COVID. My aging antibodies clocked in at a ridiculous 434 when the norm is 0.0 - 17.9. Fortunately, my new antibodies were down to a 36 in July, meaning my immune system has done what it's supposed to do to beat it.....but it took 4 months!
While I've always eaten well overall, I realized that I could do better. And now, I'm eating cleaner than ever, and it feels GREAT! My muscles are on the rebound, my PBF is on the decline, and I'm feeling strong again.
In the meantime, I'm excited to share that I'm working on a new certification as a Cancer Exercise Specialist. We all know that exercise and nutrition are key. So whether you're looking to lose body fat, build muscle, or just get in better general health, I can help.
Just remember "abs are made in the kitchen", so think about that on your next trip to the grocery store 😉 And cheers to healthy eating!
