Ed Warner, with Associated Food Stores, has seen how small lifestyle changes can produce big results since joining The Apple Program®.
Ed saw great changes all across the biometric board! Over the course of a year working with an Apple Health Coach® Ed has lost almost 50 pounds, he is off of three different medications, his triglycerides decreased by over 150 and his cholesterol decreased by over 40 points! Although Ed is very proud of all of these improvements this year, his greatest goal was focused on being able to come completely off insulin. In order to do this Ed knew he would get to decrease his A1Cs. So far he has dropped them from 10.1 to 4.7. Ed admits that he started the program taking 100 units of insulin and now he is almost insulin free.
“I’ve still got a ways to go, but I am on the right track. My ultimate goal is to break away from insulin all together”.
Ed attributes his success to the nutritional suggestions and motivation that his Apple Health Coach gave him throughout the year. Although he appreciates the help received from his doctor, Ed was grateful for nutritional recommendations of his Coach instead of quick-fix pill recommendations. Ed says “The Apple Program is great because it focuses on preventable things.” The program provided him the support team that he needed to accomplish his goals. Ed says it is nice to talk to someone who could give him the “rah rah rah” and the “way to go boy” motivation that only his Apple Health Coach could offer.
“I went down from a tight 44 to a loose 38. The Apple Program has been great for me! My coach made all the difference.”
