Life-changing, life-extending! I know that sounds very dramatic but what I will tell you is that I…read morehave been an active, healthy, vegetarian for a very long time, but an excessively high-pressure job, along with other big life stressors including a cancer diagnosis, were consuming me. A few trips to the ER and dealing with anxiety as well as an emergency surgery were the icing on the cake. I needed help to reset and get back on track to a healthy and mindful way of life.
I was suffering from high stress, extreme fatigue & low energy, foggy brain, pain & stiffness, digestive issues, anxiety, weight gain, high cholesterol, high blood sugars, and the list goes on...My body was screaming at me to make changes and I finally heard the message as a cancer survivor, I had wasted too much valuable time and felt like I was running out of time.
I had worked with Lila a number of years ago and knew that she was the one that would be able to help me regain my health & wellness, so together we set off to turn things around. Lila's approach is fact/data based coupled with her expertise and experience to create a customized approach for me. We did food sensitivity and micronutrient tests to understand more detail of my current situation. We then started the MRT/LEAP protocol which sounds like a lot but Lila breaks it down so it is easy to understand and follow (certainly helps that she is INCREDIBLY organized). I really enjoyed the process as it really made me aware and more in tune with how my body reacts to the things I eat. I have also really enjoyed eating a whole food diet as the flavors are so wonderful plus she sets you up with hacks and ideas to make this much more practical - even for us really busy people! Lila has also been a tremendous guide and resource when it comes to sourcing recipes, ingredients, and alternative or unfamiliar foods and has been instrumental in helping me to remove harmful ingredients & chemicals from my day to day.
Lila has been such a great partner, coach, and teacher on this journey. She has helped me set reasonable goals, pushed me, and held me accountable, all of which I am incredibly grateful for. The results have been remarkable - We have been able to move my cholesterol, blood sugars, and inflammatory numbers SIGNIFICANTLY in 5 months, getting most of my numbers out of the danger zones. I have also dropped 20 lbs and still going. We have reduced my symptoms (based on symptom survey data) by 91%. I feel so much better as all of my symptoms have dramatically improved or gone away.
Lila has helped me to relearn the importance of managing and minimizing stress where I can and has affirmed for me the ABSOLUTE power of food, nutrition, self-care, and exercise as medicine for the body, mind, and soul! I would recommend Lila without hesitation to anyone that wants to invest in their health and wellness and wants an active partner in that process!
