👋 Let me introduce myself...
I'm so, so happy to have you all join our community - your health (and future self) are also thankful!
My name is Andre, and my journey towards a healthier life began a few years ago.
I have always been an active person, and never really had a health issue. I would get away with a lot, especially food. I ate whatever I wanted, in amounts that were clearly exaggerated. When I started living by myself on my 20s, self-control wasn't really a word I'd use on a regular basis. Who has never overindulged?
But... no weight concerns, and apparently no physiological imbalances either.
Then one day, being a vegetarian, I decided to take a blood test - just to make sure I was getting all of my nutrients. Doctor calls me back: everything was ok, other than the simple fact that I had pre-diabetes.
🫣
Yep, that shocked me to my bones. What should I do now?
I did a couple of them straight away:
- Changed my diet - cut all added sugars and decreased by a lot the amount of carbs I was eating.
- Started studying about nutrition and other health areas.
I was at one tip of the scale, and suddenly, on the very other end. Yes, I do have the tendency to be a bit extreme - and just like that I am finding my way.
All of that led me to learning a lot about my health, lot's of Do's and Don'ts, and the biggest change of all: I feel like I found myself. I found an area that I am really passionate about!
I reverted my pre-diabetes situation, thankfully, and became much more conscious and knowledgeable about my health, the way I exercise, eat, and sleep (with all the ups and downs that come with it - after all, no one is perfect and I am just another guy looking for a balanced life) 🤷♂️
Now I am a longevity mentor in the making, hoping to share what I've learned with like-minded people - so hopefully you can make better informed decisions for your life BEFORE finding yourself in a situation like I did.
Who doesn't want to live a healthier, more balanced and fulfilled life? Well... I do, and if you do to, you've come to the right place!
