What is an advocate?  An advocate is a person who speaks or writes in support of a cause.  It is me, I am an advocate.  I want to inform people about my disease.  When I read a statistic that 63% of Americans have never heard of lupus I was horrified.  That it takes the average patient 6 years to get diagnosed from the onset of their symptoms! The annual cost for someone with lupus can be up to $50,000!  There are so many other reasons, but these 3 alone were enough to make me want to fight. https://www.lupus.org/node/486/chapter/28

If you follow me, you know my story.  What you do not know about are the countless other diseases people struggle with every single day. These are the people I help.  I hear their story and how a disease has taken over their life.  I help these people gain back control of their health and happiness.  I have seen their switch flip and results.  The transformation has been amazing and rewarding.  This is not enough.

I have been trying to think of ways to help more people.  There are so many stories that need to be told.  Diseases that I had never heard of and I want you to know about them.  Starting tomorrow on my Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/ketolupie/?hl=en  and Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/pg/ketolupie1/posts/?ref=page_internal pages I will be sharing these journeys.  It will be called, “Tell Me About It Tuesday”

If you or someone you know has a story to tell and would like to be featured on my page please have them get in touch with me.  My Instagram and Facebook handle is Keto Lupie.  I can be messaged through them or emailed at trainerturco@gmail.com  Please follow me on social media to read about these amazing people!

Just because I have a silent disease does not mean I will be silent!
