This is a first-person testimonial video (May 22, 2024) by Reena Patel of Toronto, Ontario, describing a three-year transformative experience with the Living Proof Institute during the pandemic. She reports pre-program issues—poor sleep control, high stress, bloating, and low energy—and explains that the program’s supportive, accountable, science-based approach (coach-led, sustainable lifestyle changes) helped her stay committed and produce measurable improvements across work, relationships, mood, food/exercise habits, and overall wellbeing. She singles out coach Deepa (and Sachin) for support and recommends the program to others.

Before I found the Living Proof Institute, my life was pretty high paced. Going to work, being social with friends and family. I was experiencing some health issues, specifically around just not being able to have control over my sleep, feeling really stressed, I had some bloating and I also just dealt with just some overall feelings of low energy. What made me want to work with the Living Proof Institute was the, the fact that the program and the goals were aligned with what I really wanted to do. And I felt that they were able to support me and I wanted to be part of a team that really, truly understood what my needs were. And I just felt extremely comfortable with what they had to offer. And I just really, really loved the sustainability of just reaching a healthy lifestyle. And I thought that it might not work for me. And that was more of a personal opinion thing to do with the actual program. My journey with the Living Proof Institute, it was during the pandemic where I just felt I had kind of no control and needed support. I've tried everything from working out to changing my diet, drinking more water, getting more sleep, but I just wasn't able to do it on my own. It's been a three year journey for sure. And the Living Proof Institute program, the team really helped change my mindset about my lifestyle. Their approach is different because A, you feel extremely supported and B, I felt accountable. For me, that was really, really important. What surprised me the most is how I was able to actually stay committed to the program and seeing the results. It's very simple, very straightforward, forward, and there's always a scientific reason or an explanation as to why we're doing this. And that is what helped me really continue on because I saw results and it made sense for me. My life has changed, very much so, in all aspects. So from my professional life like at work, to my personal relationships, to my relationship with food and exercise, my emotional well being, and it's a continued, evolved journey. I find that I look at my health in a different light than I did before. I use the tools from the Living Proof Institute. I have regular positive thoughts in my head about certain decisions that I make and it's about an overall feeling of happiness and satisfaction and where I was not like that before and I was struggling. I would recommend, and I have recommended the Living Proof to someone else because of what it has done for me and the feelings that I have out of this program and what it has done to my lifestyle. I really want someone else that is struggling and looking for help and unsure where to go to feel what I'm feeling right now. This program is reasonable and sustainable. With the coaching you, you're able to accomplish it. I highly recommend this program because it is the only program that worked for me and I've tried many things. I would love to give a big shout out to Deepa as well as Sachin. Deepa was my coach and I cannot tell you how supported I felt, how throughout the entire journey, I never felt alone, I never felt judged, I never felt shame. But it was about feeling different, feeling better, feeling healthy, and that was my number one goal. Deepa, thank you so much. Without you, I honestly wouldn't be in this position and I don't really know where I'd be in my life right now. Probably unhappy and still struggling. I really feel like I'm on top of the moon. My name is Reena Patel and I live in Toronto, Ontario.
