My top three goals for the first month working with Grace were as follows: To reduce the effects of rheumatoid arthritis as good as it is possible to get, to minimize pain, inflammation and swelling from arthritis and to combat the spread of the disease.
Grace was able to help me work toward my goals by creating a food plan that eliminates inflammatory sources, exercise routine to improve metabolism and therapeutic massage that promotes relaxation and healing. Although it was a drastic change, Grace made my new food plan and exercise routine tolerable and workable for my age as a 64 year old with cardiac and autoimmune conditions with eating habits and lifestyle that are quite different from what I am learning now.
The biggest tangible change I have noticed since working with Grace has been my ability to move my fingers freely with minimal discomfort and no swelling. I could not do that a month ago. My rheumatologist expected my condition to be better in three months not one month. In addition, I feel more limber, I am sleeping better and my family noticed that my face is clearer. I also lost 10 lbs and my blood pressure is excellent 122/72.
The most significant overall change I have noticed has been my over-all feeling of limberness, no more inflammation and pain on my fingers and confidence to incorporate the changes when I am eating out, traveling or on vacation. Within a month, I met my goals. My significant progress brought surprise to my doctors.
I would describe Grace Asagra Stanley as a good listener, patient, compassionate, knowledgeable and intelligent. These are the traits that guided her to personalize the program and meet my goals.
I would recommend Grace Asagra Stanley to seniors like me who have history of cardiovascular conditions like Cardiac Bypass and inflammatory and autoimmune disease like Rheumatoid Arthritis. She takes into consideration my medical history, engages my family for support and takes action to collaborate with my doctors in whatever way possible.
