Cheryl lost 105 pounds in less than a year after being diagnosed with Hashimoto's through functional medicine testing. She had tried Weight Watchers and LA Weight Loss without success, but treating the underlying thyroid condition restored her energy, concentration, and joy in life.
105 pounds
Hi everyone, this is Dr. Patel with the Living Proof Institute. And today we've got an amazing story from an amazing person and patient. And what I'd like her to do is introduce herself and share with us and share with you some of the amazing results that she accomplished. Cheryl, if you want to first start by telling us what brought you in to our office.
Well, there were many things that brought me in. I did not feel well and by not feeling well, I mean I had lost my love of life completely. I didn't know what I was doing every day. I couldn't concentrate, I couldn't focus, I had no stamina. I would leave a store and I would walk around the parking lot crying because I could not find my car. And I was pretty sure I had Alzheimer's and I was scared, I was very scared because I didn't know what was wrong with me. I could not keep my emotions in check. I was crying all of the time and I didn't know what to do.
What did you try prior to coming in?
Prior to coming in, I had based all of my issues on weight and I just figured I was overweight. So alright, I was having issues and I did all the usual LA weight loss and Weight Watchers and nothing ever helped. And it didn't help the weight loss and it didn't help any of my other symptoms.
Wow. So what prompted you to come into the Living Proof Institute?
I had watched a video online where you were interviewing someone who I just. The name escapes me right now, but you were talking about functional medicine and it just bell went off in my head and I thought, there's my answer. There it is right there.
Awesome. So what did you find different about this approach compared to some of the other things you tried?
Absolutely everything there was understanding and instead of just, hey, go do this, it was, we'd like you to try this because these are your issues. Like all the testing and everything that it showed things that I had no idea about, finding out about Hashimoto's was absolutely huge to me. And it just the understanding and the understanding that you have that Dr. Brar has and your ability to explain things on very clear levels, it made so much difference to me because I left here after every appointment going, I understand and I know what to do now. I know what I have to focus on.
Awesome. Can you share some of your results?
I can leave a store now and not think about where my car is, which might not sound like much to some people, but it's huge to me. I have a love for life that I can't remember the last time I had. I want to be outdoors. I love nature. I want to exercise. I want to be mobile. I want to move. A byproduct of all of this has been a better relationship with my husband. We're both just more understanding about everything. And a huge part of it is I have lost 105 pounds since I started here last July. And I know that it's not all about the weight because so much of it is up here, but the program as a whole has just given me back life that I didn't think I would ever, ever have again.
Wow. Thank you so much for being so transparent and sharing. What would you say to somebody who's kind of sitting on the fence, maybe on the other side of the computer screen, watching this, unsure about taking that next step?
Don't hesitate. Don't hesitate, because the results that you will have will blow your mind.
Well, thank you so much. And I do want to really, really send my gratitude back to you and remind everyone watching this that you did all the work. So we provided the guidance, but you put in the hard work, the effort, and we want to honor you for that as well. Thank you. Thank.
You.
