Blood Sugar Detox

“I am not a product of my circumstances, I am a product of my decisions!”
Steven Covey author of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Dear Friends,

I had a patient text me over the weekend who is a Type 2 Diabetic. His blood sugar numbers were off the charts in the upper 300 to low 400 rage over Thanksgiving and instead of complaining about his circumstances, he made some different decisions!

He decided to try the detox, but get this, his diet was so off he couldn’t handle the fiber in the detox. He decided to still perform the dietary recommendations of the detox booklet.

And now, guess what? His blood sugar numbers are in the low to mid 100s as of this last weekend! So in 4-6 weeks just with the decision to make dietary changes, he altered his circumstances in a major way.  

The human body has an amazing capacity to rebuild itself…you just have to make the decision to stop beating it up and lend it a hand.

So get moving, eat right, and rest well then you will see things tip in your favor.

If you need help in your journey give us a call.

“My story is a pain to purpose story.  My chronic symptoms started in 2015.  I struggled with anxiety, insomnia, brain fog, gastrointestinal issues, joint pain, pelvic floor pain, dizziness, hair loss, drenching night sweats, chronic fatigue, shortness of breath, heart flutters, and many other unexplainable symptoms.  I spent two years going from one doctor to the next without any relief nor answers to why I felt so terrible.  

Finally in 2017, I got some answers.  I was diagnosed with Lyme disease.  Lyme disease is a very complex and misunderstood condition, especially when it’s chronic Lyme disease.  It’s not just the Lyme infection from the tick that makes people sick.  Lyme disease consists of a whole host of other infections and a dysregulated immune system which causes the body as a whole to become less resilient to its environment.

I made some mistakes along my healing journey, but I also ignited a passion to learn how to heal the whole body-physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  God gave us bodies that can heal.  We just need to remove the interferences.  These interferences include poor nutrition, environmental toxicities, emotional stressors, hidden infections, and even trauma.

It was when I found my team of health practitioners who helped me address all the root causes of my chronic illness, that I began to heal.  My pain has led me to where I am today.  I’m living my God-given purpose to help people on their healing journey.  I am a health coach who understands what it’s like to suffer, but I also am here to give people hope.  I can help those that are suffering find the answers they deserve and help them in their process of uncovering  all the pieces to the chronic illness puzzle.”

Testimonial

Kurt Bassuener, President of MWS Associates, Inc.

MWS Associates has leased office space in the Business Center since the inception of our company in 2018 and from 2015-2018 with the previous company that I worked for.  The Business Center was the clear choice for us to locate our main office for several reasons: location, cost effectiveness, reliable high-speed internet, services offered and full access to the conference room.  It truly offers everything our company needs to headquarter our business from without the hassle of owning our own office building with the maintenance, yard care and snowplowing that goes along with ownership.  

A major benefit for us is the ability to host in-person and online meetings in the newly renovated, state-of-the-art conference room.  COVID changed many aspects of our business with a major increase in online meetings being one of them.  Many companies struggled with technology issues to host or participate in online meetings with poor audio, video quality, background noise and unprofessional business settings negatively affecting meetings.  The size, layout and quality of the A/V equipment of the conference room now allows us to host annual company-wide in-person meetings as well. Every October we bring our entire staff in from around the country for weeklong meetings and the conference room comfortably allows us to host 20+ people.  The setting also allows us to host on-site meetings with key accounts.  Clients appreciate being able to combine a business trip with bringing their family to enjoy a few extra days to experience all Door County has to offer.
