Jim Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 In early October, I was not feeling very well and woke up with serious dizziness. I thought I was going to pass out. Fortunately I did not. I called the doctor and went to see him. He told me my blood pressure was through the roof and I needed to lose weight. After a series of tests and blood results, . He recommended the Whole 30 and to exercise more. So here I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megmac Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I am thrilled to hear that your DOCTOR recommended this! I am so fed up with the lack of sound and thoughtful advice from doctors, this gives me hope. Welcome, Jim. I am confident that you will feel better than you have in a long time...just be patient and committed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snicci Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I too am shocked and elated that your DOCTOR suggested this! Jim, you'll be feeling like a new man in no time! I look forward to hearing your results after your Whole30 (If you choose to share them with us). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocIKY Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 From your title, this is not what I expected!! The fact that your doctor is even aware of whole30 is impressive to me!! Welcome! Hope you find all the answers and support you are looking for here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renee Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Wow! I'm so happy to hear that your doctor knew AND recommended the W30! Eventually, the medical community will wake up and say "We f*cked up." Welcome Jim! And I hope you will enjoy and make the most of this journey to health!

Susan W Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 So awesome Big Jim. I had high blood pressure that I am quite sure was caused by a very stressful and competitive career, but since I did my first Whole30 over a year ago, it's been in the normal range. My doc glazes over when I try to explain Paleo and/or Whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I'm on day 8. It's certainly different but a good kind of different! Enjoying a bowl of chicken curry for breakfast right now and also enjoying not having to decide what boring grain based breakfast cereal I feel like today knowing I will be hungry again 2 hours or less later! Good luck jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
