with Plantar Fasciitis( of both feet at the same time), I learned it was from working long hours during the day, exercising at 4:30 and 5:00am in the morning and building the business at night. I also had sciatica and remember prior to the excruciating pain that sent me to the doctor, I had this ache in my middle back that only hurt when I moved. I thought it was muscle ache. The ache started to move downward. I remember thinking …. maybe it will eventually move right out of me. It did not. The muscle ache pain changed to excruciating nerve pain that hurt continuously, with no relief. But aside from having cancer, eczema proved to be the most frustrating. This was truly a bad experience made worst. I had what looked to me like a bruised area on my ankle the size of a half dollar. I actually thought it was a spider bite.

Edwards: I didn’ t see it coming at first. But over a period of time I found myself sharing my love for the body and health with others. As more and more people showed an interest and asked for advice, the business was born.
HimPower: How would you say the knowledge you gained from dealing with your own health issues helped prepare you for starting your business and ministry?
