I Looked The Part But I Didn't Feel Alive

BEFORE MEDICAL MEDIUM…

I used to run on 800mg of caffeine a day.
300mg of coffee to wake up.
300mg of pre-workout to train.
Another 300mg of coffee just to power through my day.
I called it “energy”—but really, it was anxiety in disguise.

THE WAY I ATE BACK THEN…

I was eating 225-250g of protein daily.
60-70g of fat.
Lots of processed foods.
Everything I ate had “natural flavors”—aka hidden MSG.
It all felt so addictive.
But inside, I was numb. Inflamed. Disconnected.

STRONG OUTSIDE, SUFFERING INSIDE…

Sure, I could life a truck.
But I was silently wrecking my liver and nervous system.
The more I fueled up, the more my body broke down.
I looked the part—but I didn’t feel alive.

WHAT IT REALLY FELT LIKE…

Anxiety. Brain fog. Heart palpitations.
Blood pressure so high I could feel it in my temples.
The crash always came—and the cycle started all over again.

THEN I FOUND MEDICAL MEDIUM…

Little by little, I cut back the protein.
Lowered the fats.
Cleansed my system.
Started listening to my body.
The inflammation? It faded.
My clarity came back.
And my faith deepened.

A HEALING THAT GOES BEYOND FOOD…

This wasn’t just about food.
It was about dropping the ego.
Letting go of the noise.
Choosing healing over trends.
And trusting what felt right.
My relationship with God grew stronger every step of the way.

WHO I AM TODAY…

Caffeine-free.
Anxiety-free.
Heart palpitations? Gone.
Blood pressure? Normal.
Inflammation? A thing of the past.
What’s left?
Light. Energy. Purpose. And clarity.
