Have you ever thought the following?
· "I know I need to be healthier, for me and for my
family, but I just don’t know what to do."
· "I have tried everything and I just can’t seem to lose
the weight."
· "If only I could sleep better, I’d have the energy to
exercise, and then I’d feel so much better."
· "If only I could get rid of the cravings – life would
be so much easier."
· "I’m just so busy; I can’t find the time or energy to
exercise, and even when I do exercise it doesn’t seem
to help."
· "I’m starting to have health issues; I’m afraid of
what will happen if I don’t do something soon – but
what?!"
· "What’s the use – this is the way I’m going to look
and feel for the rest of my life."
My name is Linda and, in 2007, I turned 50 years old.
I’ve thought all of these things, and lots more.
I have
been on a journey for many years to find the missing link to
optimal health, well-being and balance. It is only since
turning 50 that I can truly say that I have found some
answers.
In
December 2005, I was diagnosed with a life threatening
health issue. I was told the prognosis was not good. That
was my shake-up call.
But, my
story did not begin in 2005 – it began many years ago. For
as long as I can remember, my weight has been an issue. For
more than 30 years, I have been trying to lose weight, but
especially for the past 21 years since having my children. I
think I’ve always known that obesity is the cause of many
health problems, but even this knowledge was not enough. I
simply had not been able to lose the weight I gained since
having children – and keep it off. I felt I needed to put on
a brave face and accept that nothing would ever change.
The
death of my 61-year-old mother when I was approaching 40
gave me incentive to start looking beyond my weight to my
health. I was very personally motivated: my then
10-year-old daughter lives with an intellectual disability;
I knew I needed to do whatever it takes to ensure that I
will be able to provide for her for a long time – I simply
could not contemplate an early death. I vowed to change
the way I eat, and to incorporate exercise into my life –
even if I couldn’t lose the weight, at least I’d be as
healthy as possible.
Over the
next 10 years, I researched and experimented, and discovered
exercise I enjoy and that makes my body feel strong and
balanced, and I found food that is life-giving.
However, despite incorporating daily, rigorous exercise and
healthy eating into my life, I continued to experience
severe distress in my body, including anxiety, lack of
concentration, fatigue, interrupted sleep, joint and muscle
discomfort, hair loss, food cravings and the inability to
lose weight.
Finally,
believing I must have a brain tumour (due to my inability to
think and speak clearly), I approached a naturopath who
specializes in bio terrain/live blood, saliva and urinalysis
assessment. He assured me I did not have a tumour, and
proceeded to help free my body of the many pharmaceuticals
that had been prescribed for me over the past 30 years.
During my treatment, I discovered I had a life threatening
health issue. Surviving motivated me even more; I knew that
I had to take drastic measures to improve my health.
I credit
my naturopath (and a lot of prayer) for bringing my body
back into balance and (thank you God!) for curing me.
However, despite this intervention and my continued rigorous
exercise and healthy eating, I could not shed even one
single pound. I felt like I was doing all of the right
things, but I was frustrated. I wanted to achieve even
better health and well-being by shedding the weight I’d been
carrying around for so many years.
When
I turned 50, I decided it was time for me to do a complete
“temple renovation” – to do something just for me, to make
an investment in my health, to help my body feel better.
After accepting the invitation to consider Nutritional
Cleansing, I started using a 30-day system.
I
started using the system for the benefit of the nutrients,
silently hoping that a side effect might be weight loss.
Having been so unsuccessful in the past, I doubted that I
would lose weight, but I decided that if I put good food
into my body, I would feel better – if I could lose weight,
well, that would be a bonus.
I have
been amazed by the positive changes I am seeing, and
feeling, in my body! Nutritional Cleansing is the missing
link, the answer I have been searching for.
Since I
have been using the Nutritional Cleansing products, I have
more energy and mental clarity, I sleep through most nights
(something I have not done in 25 years!), and I am calmer
and more relaxed. I experience much less discomfort in my
body. My hair is no longer falling out the way it did in the
past. I have gained lean muscle, and, almost miraculously, I
have virtually no food cravings, and have released weight –
so far, I have lost more than 20 pounds and over 36
inches. I have gone down four dress sizes, reduced my body
fat by over 3.5 per cent, and brought my waist size down
well below the recommended healthy maximum of 35 inches! I
feel better now than I’ve felt in 25 years.
I still
have a long way to go, but I am finally on the right track!
Now that my health is improving, I am able to focus beyond
my own personal health and well-being. I am able to focus
my attention on nurturing the good health of others in my
community – people who may be the ones to welcome my
daughter into their lives when I am no longer on this earth.
And, because of the business opportunities that come along
with this amazing Nutritional Cleansing system, I am able to
set a goal of producing an income that will one day provide
the supports my daughter needs to live her life beyond her
parents.
I want
to tell everyone about Nutritional Cleansing. I know that
anyone who tries these products will feel better almost
immediately.
I
feel like I have been given a new lease on life.
Within one month of my 51st birthday, six people
who do not know me well guessed that I was not yet 40 years
old! I feel like I am getting younger and younger as I
continue using the Nutritional Cleansing system. And, not
only am I healthier and feeling younger, but I’m earning
income as a Consultant, as well! Three months after
deciding to become a nutritional cleanse and lifestyle
coach, I had matched the income I had been making in my
private consulting business. This success has inspired me
to work even harder to help others achieve optimum health,
and it has shown me that my goal of securing my
daughter’s future is within sight.
I want
everyone I know to experience what I’ve experienced with
Nutritional Cleansing. I hope you will consider achieving
optimal health through Nutritional Cleansing, and even
increased wealth as a nutritional cleanse and lifestyle
coach.
When
you begin the Nutritional Cleansing program, you will be
accelerating the removal of impurities from your body and
nourishing your body with vital nutrients to rapidly revive
health.
You can
do it! Let’s do it together. Please contact me (see
below) when you are ready to take control of your health and
well-being, and of your financial freedom.
