The interview

What was your health situation before working with Dr. Michelle Gamble?

I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2008 and also had high blood pressure. I was almost 30 pounds overweight and I really didn't know what to do. I was eating all kind of crazy stuff like fried foods and foods high in carbohydrates, and I wasn't really exercising.

What specific results did you achieve through the program?

My weight came down, my blood pressure came down, and I was taking Metformin but I got off of that. When I went back to my conventional doctor, he was amazed about how my numbers came down from a high count of glucose and a high A1C to down in the manageable levels, like 5.5.

What was your initial reaction to the holistic approach?

What surprised me the most about Dr. Michelle was her plan really did work. I had some anxieties and some suspicions about it because I came from a different background. When she introduced me to holistic, healthier choices, it surprised me that the plan worked.

Can you describe the components of the health plan?

We started off with a cleanse, and after we started off with a cleanse, she started doing certain things like herbs and stuff like that, exercise, yogurt, and meditation. All of that helped me to get focused on how to control the diabetes and high blood pressure.

How has your ability to manage your health changed?

What I can do now that I wasn't able to do before was follow a plan. Now if my numbers get crazy, I don't have to call Dr. Gamble because I've been trained on what to do. I learned that I can manage it myself.

Why would you recommend Sankofa Healing to others?

I would definitely recommend Sankofa Healing for anybody dealing with any kind of issues, not just diabetes or high blood pressure, but any kind of illness. She's made a believer out of me. You need a coach to motivate you and she is on the sidelines if you need her.

Full transcript

Hello, my name is Ernest. I'm shooting this video because I really believe in Dr. Gamble and the programs that she uses to help people with their health. I met Dr. Gamble in 2006, but I wasn't diagnosed with diabetes until 2008. And that's when she told me that she could help me. At that particular point. Before I went to Dr. Gamble, after being diagnosed with diabetes, I really didn't know what to do, so I told her about what was going on with me, and she said, you know, I can help you. So after the fact, I was almost 30 pounds overweight, right. My weight came down, my blood pressure was high. That came down. I was taking metformin. I got off of that only because of the programs that Dr. Gamble used to help me with my health issues. And that was amazing. You know. After working with Dr. Michelle, I can truly say my health has changed. She's made a believer out of me, and I would definitely recommend Sankofa Healing for anybody dealing with any kind of issues, not just diabetes, not just high blood pressure, but any kind of illness that you're dealing with, I'm sure. I'm convinced that Dr. Gamble will be able to help you. Before working with Dr. Michelle, I really didn't know how my life was. I just shared with her that I was diagnosed with diabetes and also high blood pressure. But after talking to her and she said that we can control this with diet and exercise, you know, change your lifestyle. And so that's when I started paying attention to what she was saying. And then after I paid attention what she was saying, I began to trust her because the other me managing myself at that particular time did not work. If there was something preventing me from getting started, I can't think of what it was because I was anxious to try that particular plan to control my diabetes. Well, things I tried in the past, again, I said I was ignorant about the diagnosis of diabetes, so I didn't really try anything. You know, I was eating all kind of crazy stuff like fried foods, which is food high in carbohydrates, and that's against your diabetes count. And I wasn't really exercising, and I was getting, gaining a lot of weight that led to my high blood pressure. What surprised me the most about Dr. Michelle was her plan really did work. I had some anxieties. I had some suspicions about it. I came from a different background. And so when she introduced me to holistic, healthier choice to make, as far as your diabetes is concerned, that really surprised me the most, because they, our plan worked. We started off with a cleanse, and after we started off with a cleanse, she started doing certain things like herbs and stuff like that, exercise, yogurt, meditation. All of that helped me to get focused on how to control the diabetes and high blood pressure at the time. What I can do now that I wasn't able to do before was follow a plan and see now if my numbers get crazy, I don't have to call Dr. Gamble because I've been trained on what to do. So what I learned from Dr. Gamble is that I can manage it myself. But I would say this, anybody who's going to get a type of program with Dr. Gamble, you definitely need a coach. You need somebody to motivate you, just like you do, or your son or your daughter. If they're playing a certain sport, you want to be there to encourage them and to motivate them, and that's what a coach does. One of the most important things I can say about her program is that she is on the sidelines. If you need her, she's there to help you through whatever process you're going through. My numbers came down again with diet and exercise. I would recommend that to a friend or family member because I know it works. I'm a living example of Dr. Gamble's program. When I went back to the doctor, my conventional doctor, he was amazed about how my numbers came down from a high count of glucose and a high A1C to down in the manageable levels, like 5.5. That means you don't. You still have it, but as far as your numbers goes, you don't have it.
