​

Tia has been Type 2 diabetic since 1999, which was completely out of control for more than 16 years.  She had a wake up call at one of her doctor's appointments when she was told that she needed to either get it together or she would be on insulin and prone to other possible health issues.  

 

At that time, she decided to take control of her life.  She started with meal prepping and portion control which helped tremendously.  The following year she did the Daniel Fast with was pretty easy for her.  She immediately decided to do the 10 Day Green Smoothie Cleanse by JJ Smith where she did really well and began helping others. Finally, Tia decided to go to Washington, DC to be trained and become a certified leader.  Shortly after that, she started her own business and the rest is history.
