How did you reverse or manage your diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, autoimmune disease, or other chronic illness? Your story could inspire someone who’s just starting their journey — whether it was through food, lifestyle changes, faith, holistic healing, or a mix of everything… we want to hear it! What worked for YOU? What was the hardest part? What advice would you give to someone still in the fight? Let’s share, connect, and uplift one another. Let’s talk about it…
Rosa Mendez: “Diabetes:Right fruits, veggies and diet. It brought mine from around 400 to 99.”
John Saint John: “Check out how Asians get rid of diabetes. They have the cure, don’t believe me, do some research and find out the truth.”
RS Gonzalez: “Lost 50lbs + hormone adjustment and therapy + increased sleep time + 30 min walk a day + no rice-no bread + tortillas only on Sundays + no alcohol + no red meat.”
Rooster Lopez: “I haven’t. I have a lack of discipline- Diabetes.”
Kelly Narvaez: “Depends on the type of diabetes you have as well. What works for some doesn’t always work for others. Been a T1D since my 20’s. Diagnosed at 135 lbs so it’s not always a “weight” issue. My pancreas no longer produces insulin so I have to inject it myself to regulate my sugars. My A1C is 6.0 which is great for a Type 1, but it’s a daily struggle even if you eat healthy and exercise. It’s all about balance.”
Ms Winter Breeze: “Lost weight. I eat better, and try to stay active. I have been off meds for almost 10 years now. I still watch my sodium intake and drink lots of water every day.”
Cameron Denise Hargrove: “Eating clean, exercising and quality sleep which all impact weight loss. Healing the gut is absolutely necessary as well. And decrease refined sugar intake.”
Rachel Resnick de Almeida:”Weight loss. I have lost close to 80lbs in the last 3 years. I stopped taking one BP med, and metformin for diabetes. My numbers are adjusting nicely. A1C is down to 5.2 liver enzymes are normalizing, cholesterol is down a bit. Also got a dog who drags me out on several walks a day.”
Cynthia Falana Mays: “I’m 73 yrs old. I’ve managed to avoid all those things and others. I credit probiotics, drinking water, chewing food well before swallowing, laughing, staying active, proper rest, meditating, prayer, stretching, positive affirmations and more prayer. My doctor is always amazed at my stats! I’m always amazed at God.”
Janine Mitchell: “Adopted a plant based diet, growing my own food, drinking water, and reduced the sugar. Added more walking, hiking, dancing, weight training and yoga. Prioritized rest and sleep, taking natural supplements, meditation, prayer and getting regular checkups with my doctor. I’m no longer in the pre-diabetic range and I’ve lowered my cholesterol. God is good.”
Tawana Jenkins: “Mediterranean diet, less meat, more vegetables, exercise daily, some days twice a day on treadmill, walk trails, walk dog, pounds fall off. Started with inches and then pounds . I do take Manjaro weekly to help with A1C. Never had any side effects from it. I’m doing awesome with fasting, supplements, including high dose vitamin d3, magnesium, selenium and celery juice.”
Gabriel Shuler: “Reduced meat intake and increased vegetables. It’s difficult for some but it drastically improves all of the problems listed above and more!”
Danielle Brown: “I started eating to live not living to eat. I work out daily. Drink plenty of water and rarely drink alcohol(like twice a year). I try to avoid unnecessary stress. If it challenges my peace too much and it can be removed from my life it’s gone… family,friends, relationships, toxic work environments etc.”
Nikki Wilkins: “Lost the weight. I am off of diabetes meds and my blood pressure meds have lowered dramatically.”
Sofia Payne: “Full body detox and only eating fruits and vegetables.”
Mallory D. McCoy: “Change your diet, change your life! It’s all plants over here! I started fueling my body with helpful foods and only fueling when I’m actually hungry. I don’t drink, smoke, or do anything to defile my body. I also work out frequently.”
Lavonda Rogers Williams: “Total lifestyle changes. I changed my diet, eliminated beef and pork, cut down processed food, added more physical activity and added more herbs and natural remedies.”
