I have Grave's disease; after radioactive iodine treatment and permanent prescription for synthroid, my diet and lifestyle had to change drastically. In 2014 I found a gym buddy who wanted to work as hard as I did to live a healthy and active lifestyle.

The gym is now a part of my life. It's stress relief, I have so much energy after a workout, and I can even do everyday things with much more ease. If I miss 3 days of being active at the gym, Zumba class, outdoors or at home I literally begin to feel lethargic, lazy and drained both cognitively and physically. I choose to be healthy and active for life.
