Right on Lena – we need to be our own wellness activists and advocates – and self-leadership should be our mantra…in addition to yes we can! Cheryl

Well, in the interest of personal security, I can’t say exactly HOW I side-stepped the “law”, but I can say that I was finally able to find out that I had adrenal fatigue!

Yes, our medical system needs work for all the reasons you outlined, which is why it’s imperative for everyone to be mindful of their own wellness and be their own active wellness advocate!

Thanks Lena! I appreciate your sharing about the adrenal test being illegal. Amazing isn’t it! Did you have to go out of state? I assume you did.

The medical system is really broken in this country. There are a lot of good medical practitioners but the system itself is broken–lots of fear and competition, a little greed and incompetence, and a lot of people with chronic diseases who don’t want to change tbeir lifestyles. But…they haven’t joined Team Fitness yet and we aim to have an impact on chronic disease. It’s under our control and we can do it! Yes we can! Cheryl

Thanks for this story about your life and journey, Cheryl. This is one of the things I like best about you, you’re so HONEST. So many wellness people aren’t.

I fell out of love with doctors when I realized that the test that I needed to take to tell me if I had adrenal fatigue was “illegal” in NY state (where I live) because it was not “approved” by the FDA and even though it would help me get the information I needed to live a better quality of life, that didn’t matter.

Congrats on getting Fine & Fit! I’m with ya all the way! Keep on encouraging us, we need it!
