Intro - Meet Emily

Hi! I’m Emily. I am 35. I currently live in Utah but was born and raised in Aurora, IL. I’m a teacher of the Deafblind and love it. A year ago I was working on my health - with a heavy focus on fitness. I had a personal coach and was doing 2 HIIT classes per week. But, I was still always tired. When the school year started, in October I was working out and then felt sick and tired all day. This is when I stopped because I needed to save my energy for work. I thought it was my heart defect (because I had similar symptoms 11 years ago when I had heart failure and had to do a PVR). But, my heart is doing pretty well (only mildly elevated levels and stiffness and my valve is doing great.) I found this out a few weeks ago and spiraled because I wondered if I was just crazy. But the symptoms are real - and I don’t want to live like this forever. My hope is that in the next 30 days (or is it 90?) I will begin to have more energy and have a plan ahead of how to be the healthiest I can be!
