Sometimes you have to go all in…

Dear Chris,

I have seen all this before. Hashimoto’s is no mystery to me.  I have a proven track record of dealing with difficult cases.  I know I can help you.

Dr. Jack

Sometimes in life, you just have to take that giant leap of faith.  You have to just take that first step.  Put one step on the path and just start walking.  Like in the Wizard of Oz….follow the yellow brick road…

This was mine.  I told myself that this is my last try.  If this does not work, I am done trying.  I felt like I was on the ground, dirty, beat up, feeling like the world’s biggest diet failure with no hope.  I had this one try left in me.  This was it.

I told Dr. Jack I was all in.  He talked to me in detail about his idea.  His main focus and mine would be that he was going to help me to get my body healthy.  Then the weight would just go.  He explained cellular healing to me, what the cause of my Hashimoto’s disease was, and how to repair it.

I didn’t care what he was going to tell me to do, because I just wanted desperately to feel better. He ordered me some supplements and we agreed that October 5, 2015 would be my start date.  He forwarded me a manual, and we agreed to talk on the phone on Sunday, after the Bills game.  I knew I liked him! Ha ha!

He told me my schedule was no problem because we would do all of this virtually!  How cool was that?  Our whole program was to be done by email, phone or Skype.  Okay! This was getting better and better!

I got the manual, and like any person starting this, I flipped first to the food list.  I was relieved because it was all real food, lots and lots of things I really enjoy and I was glad because I could see exactly how I could make easy to go meals out if it!  Then I read the manual, cover to cover, three times, making highlights and notes as I went.

I was never very good about taking vitamins or supplements, so I reread that section several times.  The supplements were all natural ingredients,  and as I read that part, I realized how important each one was.  I guess I had never stopped to think about the unseen job some of those things do and why they were important.

As I read I realized some things had to go.  But were they more important than feeling better, no way!   I kept reading and thinking about all those diets I tried.  Thinking about how all these things I thought were so great for me to do might have been causing all kinds of harm!  Looking at this, thinking, Dr. Jack says this will work? No wonder I couldn’t lose anything before!! I had been doing the whole thing wrong!!

That little ray of sunshine and hope was getting bigger…. I can do this! I know I can…  My only worry was would it work?
