“Just returned from the doctor. I am jumping for joy. All of my cholesterol related numbers are markedly improved. I lost 6 pounds. And my blood pressure was so good the doctor is reducing my medication! I am 68 and nothing has budged me in quite a while. Always ate a decent diet, but these tweaks really made the difference. Thank you to all involved in FPL.”
