Dr. Susan Cucchiara Testimonial

We even started working together, Amanda was working with Dr. Susan who is a naturopathic doctor that we both love and adore and she's amazing and definitely recommend checking her out if that's something that you're looking for but yeah if you can just tell us like walk us through like your kind of health journey before kind of we started working together. All right so yeah before I started working with Heather I like she mentioned was working with Dr. Su I was diagnosed with Lyme disease a few years ago so that just kind of rocked my whole body to be honest I was really struggling with even just like getting out of bed a lot of joint pain um so I just had a lot of health issues I would say um and working with Dr. Su I found out like I was pre-diabetic um I actually was pre-diabetic for years and just never knew from my PCP um and over the years I've worked with Dr. Su for probably four years and then last January I was officially diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and I had just gotten engaged that same month and it was just kind of a whirlwind of I've been dealing with not only like Lyme disease but gut issues um and just a lot of different um systemic health issues that were kind of all correlated and my hormones were not balanced I was just kind of a wreck in a lot of places and just kind of depressed in a sense um I didn't really know where to go from there and then just getting engaged and just not being who I felt I was I gained probably like 30 pounds during COVID which was really tough um and I just didn't know where to go from there so it was it was really hard I've done some crazy healing stuff to try to heal my body in different ways and honestly I think working with Heather like hands down this is like the most efficient I feel like I've ever been and efficient and consistent with my health journey and it just taught me long-term tools where it's not like a diet it's not this it's actually like changing your the way that you deal with food your relationship with it how you think about it I was like binge eating all the time and I didn't realize it honestly I just you know thought that's how I was um and it wasn't until I think it was last December actually my massage therapist told me that she could tell by the way my stomach was that I was an emotional eater and that was like kind of hard to hear and at the same time it's kind of also what made me start to realize like all the correlations like through things I was struggling with like um just my relationship with food how I thought about it and kind of how I grew up I guess um and it just kind of brought everything together and I realized I really needed to do like a deeper dive into myself and figure out what was you know how to change the course of where my life was heading because I in probably vain but like I did not want to look like that on my wedding day I was like 190 pounds which was a lot for me I'm only five
