My background is the Defence Force and I served in the Army for 5 years. It was about 2 and half years into my career that I got pretty badly injured. Over the next 2 and a half years I had 11 surgeries and now have a spinal stimulator inserted into my lower back that plugs into my spine and overrides my central nervous system to lower the pain levels as a result of severed nerves due to a complication of surgery. As a result of the surgery I now have multiple changes to my body including severed nerves, plates in my forearm, wire and screws stabilizing my shoulder, titanium coils in my arteries , a spinal stimulater and a body covered in scars. I have function in my legs, but cant walk more then a few hundred meters at a time without suffering pain as a result of my injuries.
I now have trouble wearing long pants, shoes and socks which has also impacted on not only my career in Defence, but also the amount I have been able to workout. I was pretty fit and healthy before my injuries, I was going to the gym 3-4 hours everyday. As you can imagine this had a massive negative affect on me and my mental state as soon as I wasn't able to continue going the things I was once so passionate about. I struggled with depression which lead to me gaining 12kg and living more of an unhealthy diet and lifestyle.
It wasn't until a guy named Justin introduced me to Yor Health that things started to turn around for me. I knew Justin from the Soldier Recover Centre (SRC). When he was there he also was struggling with a similar situation injury wise and he was also being medially discharged. In a space of a few months he went from being an over weight alcoholic to a fit, healthy, happy and motivated person. He approached me and said he knew what I was going through and that he had something that I needed to check out. He showed me the products as well as the business side which I jumped at as I knew this was something I could do no matter my injuries or the pain I was in, I could literally do this from bed if needed.
Over the next few months my life completely turned around! I have gone from being down, depressed, angry, negative, unmotivated, lost, sad and unhealthy to happy, positive, motivated, healthy, feeling amazing and having a sense of purpose in life again. I now swear by the products and take them constantly as well as promote them to anyone and everyone. It has not only helped me lose weight but it has also helped me with my mindset. I used to stay in bed all the time, only leaving 3 times a week for 2-3 hours maximum to go to work or to get groceries for the week. I'm now going to the gym almost everyday as well as living a healthier and happier life. I really do have my now best mate, business partner and mentor Justin to thank for introducing me to the product range Yor Health has to offer.
Yes I still struggle with my injuries, but I find a positive mindset helps overcome any struggles or obstacles that now come my way. I have been following the plan/timetable that was supplied with the products. I will continue to take the products and intend on doing another 8 week challenge as soon as my current one ends. I didn't reach my goal weight, but I'm definitely a lot closer then I was before. I plan on reaching my goal weight as well as reaching my new goal of looking better then I did before the surgeries to prove to myself and other people going through a similar struggle that anything is possible if you apply yourself.
