Extremely grateful to have been trusted with this situation ❤️
It’s not every day you’re asked to help someone reduce their BMI for a referral for a heart transplant. It’s an extremely high risk & specialised situation but with virtually no option left, we made it work.
We firstly had to use BMI through this, now, we know that this can outdated but right now all we had to do was reduce this.. so having to write to a cardiologist about trusting the scale weight measurements we used, did work.
Exercise was NOT an option at all through this, nor was even getting referred to physio or cardiac rehab..
But I know incredible people who work in Cardiac Rehab and we were able to work together to get the best advice for Dawne ❤️
I’ll never forget getting the call as they left the appointment, tears tears and tears when the cardiologist even visually could see Dawne had put in the work to make these changes.
One thing that this journey reminded me of is the SIMPLICITY of weight management, there was NO EXERCISE at all, all based on habits & food.
She has done INCREDIBLE, watching these habits change and I love our weekly chats. ❤️
We have a journey still ahead but this was an incredible stepping stone and one I’m forever grateful to have supported.
