Love hearing updates like this!!! This is why I love Plexus. Listen to what Terry has to say about her husband Craig!! 👇 This is a very, very special post/update for me. We are approaching the 6 year anniversary of Craig's heart transplant. As a lot of you know this guy had 13 heart attacks before that gift of life saved him. But his heart problems was not the only health issue he was fighting. He also was an insulin dependent. Along with the gift of life came many, many complications including increased AIC levels, increased insulin, increased weight, coma from a virus, bone and muscle problems from the anti-rejection drugs and steroids. The picture on the left is a picture taken when Craig was 24 years old..Yup, that's the handsome devil I married. The picture in the middle was taken post transplant, Christmas 2013. We both began using Plexus in April 2014. At that time Craig's AIC was over 12 and he was taking insulin 3-4 times a day. Within 3 months of taking Plexus he was taking less insulin per shot. Within 6 months he was only taking 1 maintenance shot a day. Within 12 months he was insulin free and now almost 18 months later his AIC is 5.8 and his Endocrinologist kicked him to the curb! Over this period of time, he lost over 75 lbs. Keep in mind, this took commitment. This took consistency with the products which totally helped him changed his lifestyle. This took patience. There are no miracles. He cannot exercise due to his bone and muscle issue besides riding a stationary bike for very short periods. So, what I am saying is , if you struggle with your blood sugars (Craig was type 2), then you may be able to make this change too. Please know that the University of Penn transplant team approved this every step of the way! One of the most exciting things about Plexus is seeing it change people's lives right before our very eyes! Along with helping his blood sugars his lipids are all coming down and his cholesterol drugs continue to get reduced. When I look at the guy on the right, he looks a whole lot more like that guy on the left. That guy in the middle? He is a complete stranger. Be Blessed, Ps...He takes the triplex, block, megax and xfactor.
