My hip joint collapsed at 50 years old, and I felt like I couldn’t rely on my bones anymore.
I didn’t think my quality of life would be ripped away from me at such a young age.
I stopped moving much for fear of fracturing my hip. (I had it replaced, anyway.)
I gained 30 lbs, lost a lot of muscle, and felt hopeless.
I knew I had to do something.
Spending the next 40+ years in a body that didn’t work wouldn’t allow me to travel, play, and do everything that I loved.
Conventional medicine gave me a new hip, but could not help all of the other aspects of breakdown in my body that I needed to reverse.
I did NOT want to rely on potentially dangerous medications for the rest of my life.
(That was the ONLY option I was given.)
I already gave up thinking I’ll ever live an active life again — I did spin class 4 days a week, played tennis 5 days a week, and I ran 4-5 miles 6 days a week!
On the day of surgery, I told my orthopedic surgeon that the only thing I truly wanted was to walk again.
6 months later, I was climbing a mountain in India, and I couldn’t believe I got my freedom back.
Hiking that mountain was so profound for me. Not only did I get to walk, I got to hike.
And you know what else I got?
Confidence, strength, balance and a body that I could rely on.
I’m not worried about my bones anymore because I have control over what happens to them.
And I want to show you how you can do the same.
I know exactly what it’s like to feel fragile and breakable.
