The Crushing Burden of Chronic Illness: Understanding the Problem
➡️ Type 2 Diabetes:
- Over 422 million people globally have it (WHO).
- It leads to blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke, and lower limb amputation.
- Standard treatments often rely on medications that don’t address root causes.
➡️ Obesity:
- More than 1.9 billion adults are overweight; 650 million are obese (WHO).
- Increases risk of diabetes, heart disease, certain cancers.
- Often worsened by insulin resistance and inflammation.
➡️ Arthritis:
- 350+ million people suffer worldwide.
- Causes chronic pain, disability, reduced quality of life.
- Strongly linked to inflammation and weight gain.
The Real Problem?
Most solutions treat symptoms—not the interconnected root causes of blood sugar dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and metabolic imbalance.
Her Turning Point: The Natural Doctor’s Advice
