Her sister Helen's story of reversing diabetes:
Margie began her Plant-based journey nearly 10 years ago when her gym coach commended her for trying to get healthy, but told her exercise was not the way to lose weight. She nearly dropped her 5-lb weights on her toes as they suddenly felt like 50 pound weights… “Why am I struggling through this if this is not what I need to do to lose weight??” she thought. The gym coach continues. “See me after class if weight-loss is your goal.”
Margie had struggled with weight her entire life, known as “thunder-thighs” as a child among her peers. She tried every diet out there, including most well-known programs. All helped her lose some weight, but nothing sustained the losses. After struggling with health issues including trigeminal neuralgia, fibromyalgia, cluster migraines, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, myofascial pain syndrome, Chronic Fatigue, and going through some 20+ major surgeries, she became desperate for help. Her final year of teaching was done with the help of a walker. She knew her prescription coverage would be impacted when she turned 65 and her 16+ prescriptions could cost thousands of dollars a month. So at the age of 64 she decided to join the gym for the first time in her life. She hoped to be healthier in one year’s time.
Her gym coach became her plant-based mentor as she learned a new plan to eat for health. Join her as she shares the journey of what she discovered in that year. Margie cares for her developmentally disabled autistic sister who found her type 2 diabetes was cured eating only plants. Her sister’s child-like responses to her plant-eating journey will be shared as well.
Margie has been passionate about Emergency preparedness for most of her life. She and her husband, Jim, have been active with numerous fire departments as CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) volunteers as well as active HAM radio operators, assisting during community events and natural disasters. Margie has presented Emergency Preparedness church and community workshops for many years and is happy to share what she has learned, particularly with regard to what food items to include in your emergency kit evacuation bag.
