5-Step FRESH Framework
Discover how the 5-step FRESH Approach can revolutionise your health journey. While my personal experience involves reversing pre-diabetes, conversations with clinicians reveal its potential to address various chronic illnesses through lifestyle changes. The truth is, medical professionals may not always emphasise the power of lifestyle in reversing chronic conditions. My FRESH approach empowers you to take control and potentially transform your health. I reversed my Pre-Diabetes status by myself after researching what I needed to do. When I received my results, the nurse was less than helpful. She said to come back in a year for a blood test. I asked her what I should do, and she said she was not there to give that advice. I now think it was because I was just on the border of being pre-diabetic, and rather than ensuring I did not progress, the NHS is happy to wait for it to get worse.
I believe that if we can help ourselves and sustain the habits we change, we can do well and have a great lifestyle. e done this myself. I was flabbergasted when I received my Pre diabetic diagnosis. Instead of just accepting it, I decided I was going to change things, as I knew it would lead to Type 2 diabetes if I did nothing. I did not want to be where some of my siblings were on multiple medications, and their bodies were more and more out of kilter. Co-morbidities managed by medication do not help you heal your body.
