I first had a conversation with Hillary about 9 weeks ago. I had just found out I had osteoarthritis and was in constant pain and feeling quite despondent. Hillary spoke to me about what I hoped to achieve, I said I would like to be healthier, to not be in constant pain and to hopefully slow down the symptoms of arthritis. We spoke about what food I was eating, likes/dislikes. Hillary then went through how I could make positive changes to my diet. I have taken on board everything she said, I love my breakfast of yoghurt fruit and muesli every morning. I have cut out almost all ultra processed foods. I have lost 2kg already really easily, as I don’t really get hungry anymore. My pain has reduced enormously due to the changes in my diet. I had a thorough blood test at the start of the programme, this showed cholesterol was high and thyroid levels were high. I’m getting these retested in a couple of weeks by my GP and I am hoping that the changes I have made will show these levels to be at a more normal level. I can’t thank Hillary enough for giving me the confidence I needed to make these changes.
