Angela Younger: Diabetic Patient and Patient Mentor

Angela Younger,
Patient Mentor

Branford, Connecticut

Diabetes had long been a part of Angela’s family when she learned in 1993 that she, too, had the disease. Her grandmother, who Angela had helped care for as a child, died of renal failure associated with the disease. A cousin had had a kidney transplant.

In Angela’s mind, complications like these were not an option; she had a disabled daughter who depended on her. Still, Angela struggled for years to manage her condition. It wasn’t until her own mother died in 2003 that she got serious about taking better care of herself.

"I made choices every day on what I would wear and eat," says Angela. "But on that day, I made the choice to live in a way that allows me to continue making my other daily choices." Today, Angela exercises three to four times a week, eats smaller portions, tests her blood sugar regularly and takes her medication. An Advanced Practice Registered Nurse, Angela works at a diabetes center which she says has also helped her efforts to control her disease. "By educating others, I also educate myself," she says.

Following her mother’s death, Angela spoke to her doctor about her continuing struggle with lows and her challenges with controlling her diabetes. At the time, her fasting blood sugar was high, ranging from 180 to 250, and her A1C ran in the 9 to 10 percent range. Angela's doctor recommended changing her medication, adding Lantos® to her regimen. And it helped.

Angela says she feels much better today, now that her fasting blood sugar is in a much more normal 70 to 90 range, and her A1C has dropped to around 6. Her passions today include living a healthy lifestyle, being a good mother, and enjoying frequent rides on her motorcycle. Because she understands the struggles others face in managing their diabetes, Angela became a Lantus® Believer in November 2006. She hopes that by sharing her story, she can help others make good choices.

"My daughter needs me, and I need her," says Angela. "I’m determined to do what I can to live a long and happy life so we can be there for each other."

Meet Multi-Demensional Amy M. Yelk!

Hypnotherapy, Energy Healing, Massage, Copywriting! This multi-demensional lady does it all - and more!

Meet Ms Amy M. Yelk, of Mesa, Arizona. "Being born and raised on a dairy farm in Waterloo, Wisconsin," Amy readily admits, "has definitely given me knowledge that most city kids never got. While most kids were out partying and getting into trouble, I found myself working and helping out on the family's farm every moment I wasn't eating, sleeping, or having to do homework for school. I enjoyed every moment of it though, except for the part where I didn't get paid."

Amy has enjoyed working full time since the age of 12 because she could do many different things and get paid for working. By the time Amy graduated high school at age 17, she had enough money saved up to pay for college, on her own.

From that background and entrepreneurial spirit come the enthusiastic professional of today - nationally certified in Hypnotherapy, Time Line Therapy, and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), powerful techniques that allow the unconscious mind to reprogram its thoughts to make new and best-suited patterns in life immediately.

David and Stephanie Tippie: Passionate about Aging Younger

Meet David and Stephanie Tippie, the founders and directors of the Anti-Aging Clinic Associates, Inc., in Lauderhill, Florida.

With more than 25 years as medical researchers, their vision was to develop new and effective age rejuvenation treatments and products for the like-minded health-conscious person.

Every Wednesday at 6:00, Eastern Standard Time, listen to their talk show, Aging Younger. Call in and join in their discussion of health.
Click on banner below to listen to the show.

Special Notice: Effective August 31, 2008, the Tippies no longer host the Aging Younger Show in South Florida on WLVJ 1040 AM, on Wednesdays and Fridays at 1:00 pm and Saturdays at 2:00 pm.

However, their Aging Younger show on BlogTalkRadio on Wednesdays at 5:00 pm, Eastern Time is where health alternatives matter. They are undergoing a paradigm shift in America. Current medical thinking is based on treating disease, not promoting health. But chronic disease doesn’t just appear out of nowhere; disease can actually begin in youth and progress in an underlying state, until it reaches a threshold.

When the symptoms appear from a disease, it is often times long after the disease has progressed. It makes good sense that if a chronic diseases doesn’t just appear out of nowhere and it actually begins in our youth and progresses at a sub-clinical level until it reaches a threshold such as symptom or even death; then properly nourishing our body, balancing hormones, adding the correct ionized water, taking verifiable supplements and exercising is logically the best answer.

Since obesity leads to the number one killer in America today, Coronary Heart Disease, they will begin their show discussing the hormone, leptin.
