“I’m no longer out of control.”
Monique is a busy 42-year-old wife, mother and career woman. Over the past three years her cystic acne had been on the rise, causing scarring and embarrassment. Her doctor’s only solution was for her to go on the birth control pill, but Monique didn’t like how edgy she felt when she was on it. Otherwise she has been under a lot of stress: putting her spouse through medical school then residency, raising three children, and up on her feet for hours at a time as a busy high-end hair stylist!
“My life was out of control in so many ways,” Monique says. She had been taking good supplements, but sugar and caffeine were her “rescue” techniques during a busy day at work. She turned to junk food in times of stress, despite her passion for healthy foods as a baseline.
Her husband, who is going into family medicine, is interested in nutrition and preventative health. He found our website, then suggested she try our Personal Program as his guinea pig! But Monique relays, “Now I’m telling everyone I know about your website and Personal Program.”
Monique loved our Nutritional Guidelines. She began to realize the true impact her bad habits were having and immediately changed her diet, reducing her intake of sugar, other carbs and caffeine. Now in her third week she has already shaved off seven pounds, down to 129. She went off the Yasmin birth control pill and her cystic acne is already improving. Overall she just feels so much better.
Monique looks forward to continuing with her newly refreshed lifestyle. With her new approach to staying on top of good health she plans ahead, packs her own healthier meals and snacks for work, and has even given up chocolate — yikes! We plan to be here for Monique, to guide her with whatever help she may need along the way.
