Spotlight: Zenaida D.
284 was my heaviest record when I got out the military. I relied heavy on a bottle of alcohol, a liter of coke and fast food 3 times a day for years.
Denial helped the behavior alive a long as I convinced myself that as long as I had a great job and going to school I didn’t have a problem. Which was far from true, I ended up being diagnosed with major depressive disorder and a long list of mental and physical disabilities.
After a couple of years of therapy and entering into the “asking for help” world. I saw a lot of things that was not right. Being offered medications over and over again without other options just didn’t sit well with me.
So I created an option called Iron Therapy 2.0. A gym free for everyone that wants to find their inner hero by simply saying yes. I teach classes 6 days a week because I believe you can live a life without medications.
