Alan's journey began with a Type 2 Diabetes diagnosis and the grim prognosis that it was incurable, but he refused to accept this verdict.
He had a history of cutting weight for sports, thinking it was a healthy lifestyle, but instead, it wreaked havoc on his metabolism. After the diabetes diagnosis, he stubbornly avoided medication for nine years, trying to control his blood sugar through weight loss alone. It failed, leading to severe health problems.
Determined to change, Alan delved into research and discovered the power of a low-carb lifestyle. By carefully managing his diet, focusing on limiting sugars, and embracing high-quality vegetables and proteins, he successfully normalized his blood sugar in three months, without medication or insulin.
Alan used his passion for cooking to create nutritious and healthy products from bone broth to "Angry Al's" hot sauce. As demand grew for these early products, he was inspired to help others manage their metabolic syndromes and launched High Q Foods where he could prepare delicious take-home meals for everyone.
Now, Alan is a nutritional coach with a passion for helping others use food as medicine so they can conquer their own health challenges.
