| - About a year ago I found Karen after doing some research online. After 3 years of struggling with my diet after being diagnosed as Celiac, I finally asked for help. Initially, I sought help because I was frustrated by weight gain after following a Celiac-friendly diet. I signed up for three sessions as part of a weight loss program.
After my first appointment, Karen recommended food sensitivity testing and I was surprised to find that there were many, many foods that were causing problems. According to Karen, eliminating these foods would lead to many improvements. Karen told me that many things would change. She told me not to expect overnight results. This was not a quick fix. I could expect things like clearer skin, reduced sinus inflammation, better sleep, improved brain function, reduced muscle pain, more energy, and weight loss. She said inflammation would be reduced before weight loss and that people would notice that first. I admit that I was skeptical at first. It all sounded too good to be true. But I trusted in her method.
My initial 3 weight loss sessions came and went without the desired weight loss that I had anticipated. However, the ultimate goal Karen had in mind was making my body work properly, not lose weight. The weight loss would come, I was assured. Although eliminating foods was trying and difficult at times, I trusted that she was in the right track. Instead, we focused on other victories, like reducing inflammation, and improving bathroom habits, as well as a general feeling of wellness. After 9 months, I was retested for food sensitivities and had far less progress with the responses than Karen expected. Still, she did not give up. We pressed on and added supplements, and altered some of the ways I was preparing foods. It worked.
It has been almost a year to the day since my first visit with Karen. In the last year, EVERYTHING that Karen said during our first visit happened! Sometimes so slowly that I barely noticed. Initially, it was reduced inflammation and very little weight loss. However, as Karen had told me, the weight came off. Looking back, it is amazing how far I've come. I have lost 50 lbs. in as many weeks. After years of inflammation causing me to look "puffy" I am amazed when I look in the mirror. As she had said, my skin was clearer, and my inflammation was reduced significantly. I sleep more soundly and do not feel tired when I wake up anymore. I used to have coffee each morning to help me wake up but I no longer feel like it is necessary. I feel happier, clearer and more energized mentally. What I had attributed to "mommy fog" was actually fixed by changing the foods I ate.
If you are truly ready for a change, Karen has an amazing background of expertise to help. She stays current on new research and is not afraid to adjust a plan to get results. She truly changed my life and for the first time ever, I am back in control.
I am not saying this process was easy or that it was quick, but it is definitely worth doing if you are ready to take responsibility for your health and follow her recommendations. I am glad that I did.
