Changed my health I'm usually a pretty active person. I'm 72 years old and l I walk, I ski, I bike, I do a lot of different things. But a couple of years ago, I had shoulder surgery and gained some weight as a result of that- and then COVID came in, I gained some more weight. When I started having some health concerns- I was really tired, napping most days, some neuropathy in my lower extremities- I went to the doctor and my A1C level was 11.1 I was just shocked at that point how high it was and was diagnosed with Type 2. My doctor wanted me to start Metformin then and there. But I really didn't want to do that. And then I started reading about type two diabetes and was like, Oh, my God, this stuff is really serious. I could go blind, I could have neuropathy or amputations. Diabetes is insidious so I made the choice to invest in myself and it’s paying dividends for me. I have four children and six grandchildren. I don’t want to be the Grandpa sleeping on the couch. For as many years as I have left, I want to feel as healthy and engage with the world and get out and live as much as possible. In the first 2 months working with Taylor I dropped my A1C from 11.1 down to 6.9 and I’ve lost about 30 pounds- and I was even on vacation for 2 weeks in there. It's amazing. And I still have a way to go because I want to get to below 5.7 and lose some more weight, but I’m already feeling really great. My energy is back and consistent throughout the day and I can be active again without the discomfort. I move around the world easier. Taylor showed me what to eat, and how to keep it simple. I consider myself a survivalist cook- but she helps me keep it easy. When I got the email from my doctor saying I already got it down to 6.9 without medicine, he said ‘I don’t know what you’re doing, but whatever it is, keep doing it.’ Taylor's been a good guide all along the way, very knowledgeable and offers a lot of good support and suggestions to make this lifestyle change work well for me. The group calls are really good because Taylor helps us move past similar hurdles we have, so knowing I’m not alone and seeing others also succeeding is very hopeful. And the one on one time with her is great because she really fine tunes what I’m working on personally so I know exactly what to do. I would encourage anyone standing at this fork in the road to make the choice to better your health and stop trying to research on the internet. Just get started with Taylor and show up and change your life. Good luck to everyone out there.

Greenroots Living a Life Saver I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in December 2019 which I chose to ignore for a longtime. Pryer to that I was diagnosed with AFIB and was told by my cardiologist to have an ablation, which I also put off to long. When I finally went in for my ablation in June 2021, my A1c was an 11 and my sugar was 325 on the day of my surgery. I was sent home with insulin shots that I had to take four times a day, every meal and also before bedtime. It finally hit me that I was in trouble. To say I was scared is an understatement. I knew I had to do something and face this and that's when one of my friends introduced me to Taylor. From our first consult I knew that she was the one who was going to help me get my health back. Taylor has showed me how to eat to heal my body and I've been making other lifestyle changes with her also. In the first 4 weeks on Taylor's plan, I was off my mealtime insulin and within 8 weeks I came off my bedtime insulin as well. Getting off the meds was absolutely amazing. My glucose levels went from high 200's to 90-100 consistently. My A1c went from an 11 to a 5.8 in just 5 months. I have also lost 87lbs since starting my lifestyle change with Taylor. My energy level went up 100% within a couple of weeks of starting the plan. Before I always felt like I needed a nap all the time and I was always fatigued. Now you can't stop me, and the fatigue is a thing of the past. I feel much lighter mentally and also calm and peaceful. I thank God for Taylor every day because without her I wouldn't be where I am now. She truly cares and is there for you every step of the way. She believed in me even when I didn't. She taught me how to value and take care of myself in a whole new way. It isn't a diet plan it's a lifestyle change that will take you and your health to a whole new level. If you have the opportunity to work with Taylor, take it she will change your life! Lisa J

I am an alumnus of the Greenroots… I am an alumnus of the Greenroots Living program, and before joining the program, I was fighting to maintain my pre-diabetes status on my own. Trying several different programs that I found online, I was still heading in the wrong direction. And once my doctor said it was time to see an Endocrinologist, I knew it was time to get serious. But still, I refused to be put on diabetes medication. Fortunately, that's when I came across the Greenroots Living program. Thanks to Taylor's program and her tools, knowledge, and dedication to my success, my glucose levels have decreased. The program consists of being part of a small select group, and Taylor's positive attitude quickly spread through-out the group, which made the journey educational, interactive, and extremely comfortable. Despite being a small group, Taylor emphasized each individual member of the group, resulting in us all cheering each other on throughout the entire process. Taylor was also available for me at a single notice, and made sure to schedule one-on-one time for every member, away from the group. Her program is what I needed to succeed, and I know I have made a friend for life that will be there for me if I get off track or just need a little encouragement. And no, I never made that appointment with the Endocrinologist, nor did I ever get put on diabetes medication. In fact, my doctor is hopeful that I will eventually be able to get off my cholesterol and high blood pressure medicines. Fingers crossed! Thanks, Taylor! I could not have done it without you.

I have learned so many beneficial facts to help me reach such positive goals in my life. I have learned so many beneficial things that I was unaware of for my health. I got educated on food choices, how to cook meals and how to create boundaries for myself to feel better. I am setting goals for myself to achieve. This has been an amazing journey and I am ever grateful for making the positive change in my life. I'm a baker and it is so rewarding to be able to bake treats and have no desire for the sugar. The natural fruit choices I make are so rewarding. I have enjoyed everyone and love the support I have found!
