Episode Summary How many times have we seen someone or maybe it was even you who was given a diagnosis (of course, make no mistake it's important to verify your diagnosis) but then what happens after this diagnosis is obvious and confirmed. Do you take responsibility and work with your doctor as you do your own research or do you ignore your doctor's recommendations and continue to live life like nothing has changed - AKA take responsibility for your health. After Rayo was diagnosed of being diabetic, she went home and decided in the characteristic 'Christianese' way that it was not her portion. So she continued to live like nothing had changed. It took a coma, one that she may not have made it out from to awaken her and make her realise that she had to choose between taking responsibility and using her religion as a crutch. Today, Rayo is alive and well because she had a second chance to make that choice. What about you? Are you taking responsibility? We hope this episode inspires you to take responsibility for your health and teach everyone around you to do same. About our guest Rayo Abe is a Professional Housewife and the face of the LagosHouseWife brand. A graduate of English Language from the University of Ilorin, she made the choice to be a Stay at Home Mum even before marriage. Based on her experience as a Stay at Home Mum, LagosHouseWife was founded from her passion to help women be financially independent while at the same time run and manage their homes and families, with a special bias for healthy, balanced homemade meals (she looooves cooking) and she has teachings to help women with the required knowledge to balance their home lives and businesses. You can find her on Facebook and Instagram as @lagoshousewife Website: lagoshousewife.com/ Our Favourite highlights: - This body is my physical vehicle on earth, I can’t change it for another one. - I have only one shot. Once this body is gone, my purpose is gone. - We need to share our testimonies more to help people and we need to be honest. Being honest about how medicine helped you is not denying God’s Grace. - I am living with diabetes. I am watching what I eat, I test my blood sugar and I am responsible. When I do what I can do, God does what I can’t do. ------------------ Be sure to share on your social media pages, tag your friends, invite them to start listening and start a conversation with the hashtag #beyondadresssize and tag us too @beyondadresssize. ----------- Grab Dr. Ezinne’s FREE TRAINING on ‘How to Lose Weight and Never Gain it Back’ at bit.ly/beyondweightloss so you too can finally finally get rid of the weight loss lifestyle, LOSE WEIGHT and NEVER GAIN IT BACK and live fabulously every waking day. --------- Schedule a consultation session with Dr. Ezinne so she can help you walk through your body struggles and rewrite your body story today - https://calendly.com/zinnyslifestyle/coachingsession If you have questions about booking Dr. Ezinne, sponsoring this podcast, guest suggestions or questions you’d like answered on the podcast; email us at admin@beyondadresssize.com To Subscribe to Beyond A Dress Size Podcast on: - iTunes - Stitcher - Spotify - Anchor - Google Podcasts - Castbox Simply head to anchor.fm/beyondadresssize choose your favourite platform and subscribe.
