Life can change in the blink of an eye. In just one quick moment, your entire future could be changed by a new occurrence or awareness. Dramatic life altering news can either make us stronger or weaker. Most of the time, the actual news or reality does not hold the most impact on our life, but it is our response to the event. As people, it is very simple to accept and embrace positivity or success. But when we show that we can overcome the odds and handle difficult struggles, this is what makes us endure and prolong our life successes.
My name is Sean Lewett. I am currently 33 years old, married to my lovely wife for close to 8 years, and have 3 beautiful young children. 10 years ago during college, I noticed that I was struggling with my health. I could not seem to pay attention in school, my mind wondered, and my energy levels were low. I went in for a physical and they drew my blood. My results were devastating. My Triglycerides were over 800, and my cholesterol could not be calculated since my blood was so saturated with fatty lipids, or high triglycerides.
How could this be? I was not overweight at 5' 8" and 155 lbs. I did not eat that unhealthy. Growing up as a kid, our family was always health conscious. My mother has been sick for a very long time with MS, porphyria, and a host of other health problems. My 3 sisters and I never had the sugar cereals, or any of the popular junk food in our home that other kids were aloud to eat. The local health food store was a common stop for us as a family on a weekly basis. During high school and college, I ate a good breakfast, many times a subway club for lunch, and high protein low fat dinner. However, I drank alcohol on occasion, and sometimes ate pasta at night before going to sleep.
Over the years my triglyceride and cholesterol levels have been extremely high and back to normal many times. Just before thanksgiving 2010, I had my triglycerides checked. My triglycerides were 575, and my cholesterol could not be tested.
Now, more than ever my health is so important to me. I want to be here for my kids and watch them grow up. I decided to make sure that the past 10 years haven't already affected my heart. So I went to see a cardiologist. They did an EKG, and stress test. Fortunately, the tests did not determine anything negative - thank God. The doctor prescribed me special fish oil, and a temporary medication. I decided to go another route and lower my triglycerides myself and completely naturally.
I know what you are thinking. Why has this stubborn guy avoided medication for so long? Well, it is like this. With all the negative side affects you hear about so often, a family history of health issues, and not knowing the long term down side of these drugs, I still feel the determination to tackle this problem naturally. Many people probably would have already made a different decision being in my situation. I am a believer that changing your life for the better in any way, and aligning your lifestyle to the way God planned is most important.
Today, I am serious about the changes that I have made to keep my health right. It has been 2 months since I had my blood tested with the 575 result. My most recent test - my triglycerides were 93, my HDL and LDL Cholesterol are both normal. Amazing! So I have taken my triglycerides down over a whopping 483 in the past 2 months, completely and 100% naturally. For me, this is a great achievement and much needed improvement for my health.
How did I lower my triglycerides to normal levels in 2 months completely naturally?
Here is my formula of success for lowering triglycerides
Take a look at my effective eating plan;
I changed my Diet. I researched and created a natural triglyceride diet. I only eat foods on the good side of the glycemic index. Most importantly I followed an alcohol free, low sugar, low saturated fat, low starch & high fiber, and low carbohydrate eating plan.
Low Sugar, wheat free, gluten free, high protein & fiber, low fat, low carb
I Only drink filtered water (add lemon or lime), hot tea (caffeine free), fruit shake made only from natural fruit, vegetable juicing made only from vegetables. A great drink that tastes good is juicing apples, celery, carrots, spinach, broccoli, and peas - a very refreshing drink.
I do not drink alcohol, soda pop, or any other drink with sugar or a sugar substitute
Breakfast - Oatmeal without any sweet, egg whites 3 times a week or less, western omelet, cheerios, or sugar free cereal made with brown rice or whole oats. Pancakes or waffles made with brown rice flower and flaxseed only. No Syrup or sugar based topping, no bacon (turkey or sausage), no white, wheat, or corn tortillas. Minimal honey and cinnamon.
Lunch & Dinner - Fish, Chicken, Low fat Turkey, and Beef. Tuna fish, low fat turkey, chicken, or roast beef sand which on Ezekiel bread, grilled chicken salad with light dressing, bean soup such as chili, Fruits & Vegetables, brown rice (no white rice). No white or wheat breads, or anything with wheat in it. Oats and Whole or Multi Grains, no sauces, light dressings, and snacks. No pasta, unless it is made of brown rice. Foods high in unsaturated fats, and low saturated fats.
Snacks - Fruit & Vegetables, cherries, black berries, cranberries, blueberries, lentil chips, peas, or vegetables. Chips made with grain, flax, chia, sesame, soy, beans, veggies, and hemp seeds are ok. Hummus, Beans, and most Nuts. Chopped beans of any kind with garlic, onions, and herbs are a great dip. I have found that spicy foods are a great alternative to sweets.
I work out and exercise 3 days a week for 30 minutes. Sometimes I lift with free weights, however running for over 20 minutes each of the 3 days is necessary.
I take 1750 MG of Omega-3 Fish Oil each day
I take 500 MG of Garlic each day
I honestly believe that God sees our sacrifices, and blesses our achievement. No matter what the sacrifice, to give up something that you love is absolutely one of the most difficult yet rewarding things you can do. And believe it or not, you actually do not miss the old things nearly as much as you thought you would. Whether it's a drug habit, health, job, or personal sacrifice, any action you make to better your life will result in achievement and honor. Staying optimistic and humble during a difficult time speaks highly of a person's integrity and perseverance. There are no better feelings than ones that come from helping others, giving, living righteously, sacrificing, and being courageous even during difficult times. My goal and aspiration is to stand by my decision, and continue to live a healthy life forever. Being here for my family is most important. Thank you for reading my story, I hope you find it intriguing and that it may be an example to help change your life for the better.
