BTC Winner: Patricia's Story
"I really feel like I now know what I'm doing with my health and fitness–a total 180 from where I was just a couple years ago."
My wife introduced me to CSE sometime around 2019. We had been trying to make changes to our eating habits for a couple years but our progress was slow. She started making these interesting meals that were actually quite good. I soon learned that they were CSE meals. Little did I know the impact CSE would have on me and my family.
I suffered from debilitating migraines for years. I learned the root cause of the migraines was the food I was eating. Introducing new, healthy, and delicious food allowed me to significantly limit the frequency of my migraines.
Towards the end of 2020, I got COVID and completely lost my taste and smell for about 18 months. As my taste and smell gradually returned, most food tasted metallic and some like burnt hair. It was awful. It threw my eating habits way off. I was able to get back on track through another CSE challenge. Although I never officially completed that challenge, it was just what I needed to begin healthy eating habits.
I am so glad I completed this challenge. I feel and look great heading into summer. My kids are also learning valuable eating habits. Every morning I make my boys a CSE-inspired breakfast which they have dubbed as “daddy food.” They can’t get enough of it. CSE has blessed our family tremendously!
Each season we host a free 7-week, community-based health and fitness challenge. We work hard, get our sweat on, and work together to motivate each other to reach our goals.
