My Healing Story
Nancy H.
I am pleased to share my healing story as a HealthQuest patient. I am 64 years old, a wife of 41 years with three grown sons and 7 grandchildren. I became a patient of Dr. Kolbaba’s about 9 years ago after hearing his HealthQuest Radio show. It was an answer to prayer during a tumultuous time in my personal life.
I had reached a point where I was exhausted; not sleeping well, hurting in places I didn’t know existed. I managed to get through the daily work and family responsibilities with coffee, diet soda and of course, sugary snacks. I have battled my weight with “all or nothing” yo-yo dieting, and although I had dropped weight quickly, it rapidly returned.

People ask me what my motivation is for walking everyday. It’s simple; it’s the one thing that I do for myself that I truly enjoy! Everyday I choose walking as my top priority of “things to do”; everything else follows.
I make a point of walking at least one to three miles a day. I usually walk three, regardless of the weather conditions. Three years ago I entered the UltraMeal Challenge Contest* and worked hard at getting healthy and reaching my goals. With Dr. Kolbaba’s health coaching, a controlled diet and walking six miles a day, I went from a size 12 to a size 2-4. Today, I maintain my health and weight using this same criteria.

I am 46 years old and originally came to Dr. K’s office because my family and I were concerned about my declining health. For decades I had tried to put myself into a healthy life style without success. Finally, years after a quadruple heart bypass and diabetes, my family prompted me to take action.
Let me be clear about my last statement. After having a heart bypass, I was still unsuccessful in developing a healthy life style. Truthfully, it was my family that pushed me to take action and begin with Dr. Kolbaba’s detoxification and health coach program.

All my life I have struggled with my weight, even as a young girl I was always “pudgy” and consequently, I was constantly made fun of because of it. I remember a particularly unsettling incident, when I was in sixth grade. My teacher took our class to the gym for the dreaded weight and height measurements. As we lined up in front of the scale I watched in horror as the nurse took the measurements and reported them “loudly” to the teacher who was writing them down at a nearby desk. The boys behind me were already snickering while anxiously waiting to hear my weight. When the nurse called out the number the boys hit the floor in hysterics – I can still hear them laughing to this day. I cried for days and begged my mother to not send me back to school. I vowed that someday I would weigh less than I did in the sixth grade.
