I have suffered many years with PCOS- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome  from a teenager, I was diagnosed officially in 2008 and I hit a huge depression state because the symptoms was terrible and once I really wanted to try to have children I was told it would be impossible (and i tried for 4 years).

PCOS- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome A hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges along with other hormonal dysfunctions and side effects such as:

infertility

hair thinning/loss

severe cramping (especially during menstrual)

face/body acne and hair

weight gain or (RARELY:severe weight loss)

skin discoloration and skin tags

low energy/fatigue

cysts on the ovaries

pre-diabetes

diabetes

blood pressure issues

glucose levels high

insulin resistant

and much much more!

I have done it all from starving myself,portion control,no salt foods,low fat, vegetarian lifestyle and much more but although i lost much weight and got rid of some symptoms… I just could not get rid of them all permanently! Unfortunately once i was able to get pregnant these symptoms tripled even when i ate clean and ate nothing but fruit,”healthy carbs” and popcorn because of morning sickness during my whole pregnancy so couldn’t stomach anything else and after my second child i just gave birth to in July 2017; I felt like i was going to DIE! I had heart issues and everything was out of whack! I visited my doctor a month after labor in Aug 2017 and he told me i needed to start a low carb diet,exercise and i needed to take all these meds to manage not just my PCOS but my IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), Joint Pains,Fatigue etc. too! I was so scared so i tried lowing my carbs but i felt deprived and even more hungry,sore all over and fatigue (now i know its because i wasn’t adding fats to my meals). So i gave up! Started eating “low fat and clean” again because that’s what i knew about more and even worked out daily killing myself! My days was typically doing Smoothie cleanses on weekend(lots of fructose aka glucose/sugar), ate my whole grains lunch and dinner(more glucose aka sugar) and lean protein(way to much sometimes which spilled over as glucose/sugar in my body) plus fruits and veggies daily(which also caused insulin spikes and bloat) lots of water- Sounds very healthy right?…. My body didn’t think so

Late Oct. 2017 I went to see my endocrinologist and she told me that my glucose(sugar) was sky high and that i was pre-diabetic/borderline diabetic AGAIN but worse this time and she wanted to put me on all kinds of meds including metformin at a higher dosage but she wanted me to meet with her and her nutritionist first and she will give me the prescriptions next appointment, During this meeting they talked about foods that im currently eating thinking they’re healthy but they’re actually doing my body a disservice just like some people who apear “healthy” on the outside but really not inside. So they suggested a ketogenic lifestyle change… not just a typical low carb diet because i needed the high fat as fuel and they went into details but at that time i was so lost and confused because i was told the opposite for so many years to avoid fats,eat all fruits and veggies and low calorie plus no salt etc. that i just was not listening! Sad part is this was also suggested for my autistic daughter back in 2010-ish vs a gluten free diet from her old doctor because its great for the brain and kids with autism and epilepsy as well but that time i was still drinking kool-aid and eating processed foods so i really was not for it!…

I went home and acted like nothing happened and never set my next appointment,Got depressed because i thought i was eating clean and it worked before in the past so the ’emotional eating’ began! I kept telling myself that i couldn’t do something new with holidays and birthdays coming up(my biggest excuses) and although i did try some of these keto meals and i was partially looking into it for awhile, I still didn’t take it seriously…Until I did a Christmas photo shoot in Dec. 2017 and i realized just how much i let myself go! I always feel beautiful and full of spirit but health makes a huge difference to show it as well!!

Enough was enough… I started to research even more of the science behind ketogenic lifestyle watching people on YouTube like Dr. Berg,Keto Connect,thomas lauer,Jason Whitrock and many more plus i watched a very great documentary called “The Magic Pill” on Netflix and I WAS SOLD! I was totally starting to understand and listen. So i started eliminating carbs,keeping at 50 grams or less daily, removing stuff in my kitchen and although i had my cheats here and there i still lost 10 lbs going from 250lbs to 240lbs but then my anniversary month came and that threw me off my game for all of feb 2018 and march 2018 then last week of April came and i decided enough cheating and its time to really make this my lifestyle for the long hall and it was time to set a date for may 1st and just go all in… no sweet treat besides a cup of ice cream on the weekend once every  week or two, I didn’t do the bread,pasta or rice instead i found alternatives and i actually love it more now! Once i did this for only 6 weeks with occasional tracking and checking in with my app called “Carb Manager” then i decided to jump on scale and i lost 30 lbs in just a short 6 weeks, My mind was BLOWN.

I noticed right then and there that this was gonna be my new lifestyle forever! I guess they was not lying when they said ” Results have you addicted and coming for more” becuase this was truly how i felt and still do! So far it has been 5 months since starting my keto lifestyle journey and i’ve already lost 53+ lbs and counting!

After watching a very close friend of mines have outstanding results of 90+lbs in only a little over a year! NOW i want to help others do the same and have partnered up with The Ketogenic lifestyle company Wakaya Perfection owned by the founder of the very own Fiji Water David Gilmour and is also one of Oprah’s favorite things in her magazines! The company focuses on using the keto lifestyle and incorporating hydration,detoxing and using holistics such as very high impact Fijian turmeric and ginger,essential oils and much more! So far it has made a difference in making my joint pain go away completely and giving me the energy to be a busy mom with 3 kids at home,working and helping people live this lifestyle . Im super excited to whats to come with Wakaya Perfection and if you have any questions about the system or the products i use, please contact me or comment below and ill reach out!
