A NEW HOPE & HAPPINESS

Joshua worked a highly demanding job and was passionate about serving his children and his family. His health took a back seat for many years. Joshua’s “call to health” was when he had to stop a hike with his sons in Yellowstone park because he was too exhausted. The final push was when his hemoglobin AIC reached to 8. He was referred to Kristin Loyd by his primary care doctor for diabetes and weight loss. Joshua is so happy that he invested his time and resources into getting help because he has found even more than what he expected and bargained for. Joshua has lowered his hemoglobin AIC to 5.7 from 8, lost over 60 pounds and decreased the number of diabetes medications. What is more, Joshua has improved his high blood pressure and resolved his gout. He feels so much more energy and ease throughout his daily life and now he sees the rewards of his lifestyle change because he has improved the quality of his daily life in work and with his family.

Joshua says, “My doctor was amazed.” He continues his journey to control diabetes and lose

more weight. He plans to achieve his ultimate goal of a long, steep hike in Yellowstone soon.
