This story is a great and encouraging example of how anyone can reverse diabetes and optimize their weight. If you are struggling with either of these issues or another health problem, I encourage you to read the following story and see how you can transform yourself into a healthy, energetic person.

The woman in the story, Sue Cheney, along with tens of thousands of other patients I have seen over the years, was able to restore her health by dedicating herself to and following my complete dietary and lifestyle program.

I'm excited to announce that now you, too, can take control of your health and benefit from the program, without even visiting my practice near Chicago, The Optimal Wellness Center. This is because the "masterwork" of my entire dietary and lifestyle program has been released and is called the Total Health Program.

This is the culmination of my last 20 years of work, and everything, from A to Z, is included. You will learn everything you need to know to prevent disease, optimize weight, look younger, feel better, and live longer. Plus, it provides you with the ability to assess your general metabolic type and gives you a full plan to start eating the right macronutrients--proteins, carbs and fats--for your type.

Also included in the book are 150 delicious and original grain-free recipes for all types of meals, created by a nutrition expert in collaboration with my program.

So, take a moment and read through the story below, and then envision the difference it would make in your life if you felt really great and had loads of energy. Well, you can achieve this healthy state and my Total Health Program will help to get you there.

Around Christmas 2002 I was diagnosed with diabetes and was severely overweight. Being diagnosed with diabetes scared me to death, and I started taking the drug Avandia for the diabetes, which a doctor near my home had prescribed.

My son had been seeing Dr. Mercola for five years, so I had seen his methods work, but for some reason I never applied them to myself. But the diabetes drove me to take action, and I started following Dr. Mercola's nutrition plan, which I was familiar with through my son, in January 2003.

Within two weeks of starting the plan my blood sugar was under control. I wanted to get off the medication my previous doctor had started me on, so I went to see Dr. Mercola for myself.

My results have been incredible! Since January I've lost 71.5 pounds and my energy level is so great it's indescribable. Before I started the program I couldn't even get through my laundry in a day. Now, it's no problem, and I exercise five days a week!

I used to have a lot of problems sleeping, too. I would wake up at least 10 to 15 times a night, and now I don't wake up during the night at all!

I found out my metabolic type, which helped tremendously. It really does work. When you eat the foods recommended for your metabolic type, there are no cravings, which is a miracle in itself, but also you're not hungry.

If you're serious about getting your health in order then the program is not hard to follow. And once I got into the routine--for instance I typically have vegetable juice, raw milk and organic eggs for breakfast--it was really easy.

I also learned how to do EFT, and it has helped tremendously also.

Now, I've gotten off the medication, my blood sugar is normal and I've lost weight. The best part is the way I feel. My energy level has gone way up and I feel great all around--the program really does work!
