Our guest for this week is Aida Cirino-Lee from Orland, Florida. Aida is a Holistic Health Practitioner and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. As a child, Aida was always sick and experienced all different health issues, from asthma, eczema, heart murmur, and was even diagnosed with hypertension as a child. She fell in love with the healthcare profession after experiencing firsthand the love and care of the healthcare professionals that took care of her during those treatments. All her health issues cleared up except her high blood pressure. At the age of 31, she suffered a major stroke that made the left side of her body paralyzed. She has been on different medications, was in and out of the hospital, and ended up taking 19 pills a day, but her blood pressure was never controlled. This was also her problem when she became pregnant at 36. She was in the hospital most of her pregnancy and her baby had to be taken out early, on the 31st week. After giving birth she then experienced four Transient Ischemic Attacks. Thankful for another life God gave her and determined to not let it go to waste, she changed her life not only for herself but most importantly to share it with her family and have the energy to enjoy her son and her grandkids. With that, she did her own research on natural medicine and functional medicine and started putting them into practice. After seeing changes in herself, she decided to go to school to learn more about it and to create a protocol that she practiced herself. In just 3 months she lost 45 pounds, from 19 pills down to 3, and hasn’t been in a hospital in 10 years! Aida is now helping others get the skills and empowerment to control, prevent, and even reverse chronic diseases, navigate our sick-care system, break the bondages to medication and their side effects, release some weight and regain their passion In this episode, Shane and Aida talk more about her health journey, misconceptions about diets today, relationships, and how we can truly become the CEO of our health.
