When I was eleven years old I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. I didn’t fully understand what it meant to have high blood pressure, I just knew something was wrong when I looked in the toilet one day and there was blood.

After many doctors visits, overnight hospital stays, blood pressure monitoring and strict diet lists, I was finally cleared to just be a kid again. One day, the best news came to me - my pediatrician said it wasn’t necessary for me to come back. All I had to do was continue monitoring what I was eating and drinking.

Although I had gotten used to eating healthier, I still had trouble making healthy choices consistently growing up. This is because I was born and raised in one of the least healthy counties in the entire country - the Bronx.

Unfortunately, diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease run rampant in the very borough that I call home. I love the Bronx, but I almost became a stereotype because of the unhealthy food choices that are present in my community.

This is why I started GETFITWITNE LLC. Our main mission is For a Better Bronx. I want people to not just look and feel healthy but actually be healthy. It is so easy to look good but be dying on the inside. And it is so easy to feel good but have many health issues.

This is why we do not just sell products for a profit. We offer education and empowerment - because we want all who come into contact with our company to leave more informed and empowered to make healthier choices for themselves, even without our help. We do all that we do, for a better bronx. ❤️
