THE PHYSICAL
The YMCA treadmill told me to consult a doctor before starting a new exercise regime, so I went to see Dr. Kathy Van Zeyl , a naturopathic doctor who specializes in sports medicine and clinical nutrition at the Davisville Health Clinic in Toronto.
-
- I have low blood pressure!
-
- Please find a pulse.
-
- Found a pulse!
Dr. Van Zeyl gave me a clean bill of health, though my blood pressure is a little low. Yay! More salt for me!
She also calculated my Body Mass Index and Waist to Hip Ratio, which is a good way to figure out if your weight is a healthy number for your height and age. Turns out I’m within a healthy range, but because I’ve gained 15 pounds in the last 2 years, she figures my metabolism is slowing down (I’m 43) and I need to do more exercise to stay healthy.
A visual representation of my metabolism.
Dr. Van Zeyl also took my measurements. Which was a rather sobering experience.
-
- BEFORE: Waist – 32″

- BEFORE: Hips – 41″
-
- BEFORE: Chest – 36″
