I'm here with Mark who has had some nice results after reading Healthy, Good Healthy You, and he's here

today to share his story with us. So Mark, welcome. Hi, thank you. Tell us a little bit

about before Healthy, Get Healthy, because I like to give people a synopsis of kind of the road up.

What were your symptoms? What had you maybe been tinkering with? What did that all look like?

Sure. And so it started about seven years ago, and I was living in Hong Kong. I was going through

quite a lot of stress at the time. I ate a really, really bad diet looking back. It's kind of

terrified how bad it used to be. Just as an example, I used to post-gym workout down a liter of

chocolate milk, thinking it's a lot of protein and I'll be fine.

Being a skinny guy, it wasn't really a big deal to me. I didn't put weight on. So I thought

it wasn't doing me any harm, but it obviously was. So I think the mixture of stress, terrible

diet and maybe living in a region of the world where the quality of water, the level of

cleanliness of the water, that it's fine for people that have grown up around that, but as a

foreigner coming in, it probably wasn't so good for me. I started to get just discomfort initially

and a bit of tightness in the throat and discomfort and over a period of

weeks I thought it'll go soon it'll go soon and it didn't and it started to get a little bit

worse started to see my GP my doctor and they just gave me some basic recommendation saying

just wait a little bit longer maybe try try relax, that kind of stuff.
