My Wellness Story

J. A. Johnson, QRA CN

I like to say that I was forced into Health and Wellness. My body forced me. When it was happening I was pretty upset at him, my body that is. Now, I'm forever grateful for the experience and knowledge I gained and am now putting to use for myself and others. It is my hope to enrich the lives of many and hopefully spare the unnecessary pain that I felt.

It started a few years ago, I was a seemingly healthy person, Living a "normal life" eating the standard american diet (SAD, and sad it is).
I began to develop symptoms of what is known as "Crohn's disease". I'm sure most are familiar with that (hopefully only by name). I "enjoyed" a few additional symptoms though. I'll spare you the details on those. A guy, totally ignorant of nutrition and wellness (me!) embarked on a journey of a lifetime. Now that I've conquered the painful symptomatic mountain, I'm glad to be on the other side to offer hope and direction. Very thankful to GOD. Now, the first part of the story goes like this:

• sick to the point that I couldn't get out of bed.
• chronic pain
• couldn't eat, barely drink
• internal intestinal  bleeding
• next to no ability to eliminate
• lost almost all muscle mass

Overflowing with thanks, Jason
