KELSEY WOOD, Principal Agent

Gordon Wood Insurance and Financial Services

“I realized that harming my body at an early age would

shorten my lifespan and cause physical damage that

would have to be dealt with eventually. I had kids and a

wife that needed me.”

After a diagnosis of hypertension in his early 40s, Kelsey

Wood knew he had to change something. At the urging

of his doctor, he started with watching his sodium intake

and choosing lower calorie foods. Within 6 months, he had

lost weight and brought his blood pressure back to normal

range.

Years later, after painful kidney stones sent him to the ER,

Kelsey adjusted his diet once again by limiting red meat

and soda pop and drinking more water. He’s also become

more aware of the stressors and psychological issues that

lead to cravings for dopamine and serotonin cascades.

“Healthier is better. Who needs to be in and out of

doctor’s offices, taking prescription drugs, and spending

time and money dealing with health issues and the side

effects of treatment?”
