“Hi, my name is Sandy (42) and I am from Los Angeles.

In 2014, I was injured at work. My life was instantly turned upsidedown. Diagnosed with an L4-5 8mm disc herniation. I had rehabilitating sciatica nerve pain that radiated down my left leg and numbness in my foot/toes. Living in excruciating pain, I developed insomnia. I tried everything to get better. Physical therapy, epidural injections, medications, and many other expensive treatments. I tried it all -but nothing worked.

In Feb 2016, I couldn’t take living in pain anymore. I agreed to a microdiscectomy and laminectomy. The surgery did help me regain feeling sensations in my foot and toes but I was still had intense back pain. I followed all post-operative protocols, had an additional year of post-operative physical therapy and treatments -all with no relief. I still experienced extreme insomnia and was not living my life independently anymore. I remember being disappointed because I had surgery and felt like I tried everything but still had such intense back pain. By this time I was DESPERATE to get out of pain. I wanted my life back.

I started looking for answers on my own. I joined @theshirtlessdude’s past movement program to get out of pain. His movement videos were instrumental in helping me get my life back. After completing the program I felt great! So much so that at the end of 2019 my husband and I had our second child. I was out of pain and I began to develop an active lifestyle with my family. Then, like for many, when 2020 started things in my life changed drastically.

With everything going on in the world I started to cope with daily stressors in less than healthy ways. Slowly I didn’t get outside as often and I stopped eating well. I found myself struggling to find time to time for self-care. My plate was full with my new baby and son’s homeschool routine. My life was out of balance. Around the same time, Andrew’s time with his last program ended. When I first heard about the Whealth Foundations Program I wasn’t really sure if it was something that I needed. I remember thinking to myself, “Andrew is a pain and movement guy. I am not in pain anymore. What more could I learn from him?” Plus, I felt stretched thin. I most certainly did not want to add more to my plate with my already long list of to-dos. I was wrong. There was so much more to learn!

This program couldn’t have come at a better time for me. Looking back now, it was EXACTLY what I needed. Andrew and the Whealth team gave me ALL the tools I needed to break unhealthy habits and take back control. By making a small investment in myself each day I began to cope with life’s stressors in better ways. I learned to establish the healthy habits needed to support the new lifestyle I visualized for myself and my family.

There is so much info out there on the internet and that was overwhelming for me. One of the great things about this program is everything I need is in one place. The program teaches movement, nutrition, mindset, & recovery. Plus, there is added support from the Whealth Community. I have made new friendships. The community is positive and supportive. Which helped me through challenging times. It feels great to have things under control again. Through this process I have learned, living a Whealthy lifestyle is a lifelong practice.

I look forward to achieving my fitness & weight loss goals with the Limitless Program. As things begin to re-open in my area I am able to return to all the activities I love with a sense of confidence knowing I have balance in my life. I am excited to explore the outdoors with my family, I returning to workouts in the gym, lifting with my trainer @nickmo_vement and so much more! I am now living the life I am meant to live. A Whealthy life”
