When I first started seeing Dr. Karen, I weighed 233 pounds and my total cholesterol was 228. One of the first things she noticed was my allergies, and after prescribing medication, those issues just vanished. I’d often complain about not feeling right—I could sleep for hours and still feel tired. Dr. Karen kept urging me to get a full blood panel done. She gave me a list of tests, but I kept putting it off until one day, I started having heart palpitations and a strange cold sensation on the left side of my body. That finally pushed me to get the tests done.Meanwhile, she was talking about weight loss strategies—cutting out sugar and trying intermittent fasting. She even got her brother to share his story with me, which really sealed the deal. When my lab results came back, my fasting blood sugar was high and my HbA1c was 6.5, putting me in the diabetic range. I had just cooked a big pot of rice when she told me, “You can’t eat that.” So, I committed to a strict no-sugar diet for three months.The first day was brutal—I thought I might faint. The Chinese food place next door beckoned me like a siren, but I fought the urge. By the end of the first month, I’d dropped about 23 pounds and was already feeling better. The constant fatigue was gone, and my stomach was getting noticeably flatter. The second month brought a further 12-pound loss. Sometimes the weight plateaued, then suddenly it would drop again like clockwork. By the third month, I lost another 4 pounds, totaling 39 pounds in just three months.After those three months, my labs showed huge improvements. My HbA1c dropped to 5.1 and my total cholesterol came down to 175. I’m so grateful to Dr. Karen for her expert advice and support. I’ve been sticking with this for four months now and loving the results. My stomach is flat enough to see my six-pack, and my overall health has never been better. The best part? I achieved this through diet and natural supplements alone. Thank you, Dr. Karen—you really are the best!
