When I joined Fast to Faith, I wasn’t just looking for better health—I was desperate for relief. I had lived with chronic migraines since childhood, and in the early 2000s things became unbearable. On top of that, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes after taking cholesterol medication, which felt like one health crisis piling on top of another.
Through Fast to Faith I discovered something I had been missing all along: the power of faith in my healing journey.
Discovering God’s Protection
Looking back, I realize God was guiding me even as a child. I naturally disliked foods with nitrates, artificial sweeteners, and even beets—later I found out all of those were my biggest migraine triggers.
“I honestly feel like the foods I didn’t like were God’s way of protecting me.”
This showed me that our bodies—and our God—often give us wisdom we ignore.
Beyond “Band-Aid Medicine”
When I was prescribed statins for high cholesterol, my doctor told me it was just “genetics.” Within six months, I was diagnosed with diabetes.
“I honestly think that’s where my type 2 diabetes came from—taking the cholesterol-lowering drug.”
That experience made me realize how often conventional medicine treats symptoms instead of root causes.
Faith Was the Missing Piece
I had tried different health programs before, but they always fell short. The difference with Fast to Faith was the spiritual dimension.
“For me, it was the faith portion of the program… that is what has made the difference for me.”
I began using practical tools like flashcards with biblical truths to replace negative self-talk and unhealthy patterns. Over time, my mindset shifted, and so did my health.
Real Results, Inside and Out
Since starting this journey:
-
✅ My A1C dropped from 6.4 to 6.0 (from diabetes to pre-diabetes range)
-
✅ My cholesterol and triglycerides improved
-
✅ I’ve gained spiritual peace and resilience
-
✅ I’ve trusted God through surgery and my husband’s double bypass
Most importantly, I’ve learned to see God’s hand in every step of my healing journey.
Paying It Forward
Today, I’ve completed the Fast to Faith Coaching Academy so I can help other women walking through the same struggles.
My message to you is simple but powerful:
“Never give up, never surrender.”
Sometimes God allows us to reach complete dependence on Him before true healing begins. Don’t wait for perfect circumstances—take that first faithful step.
