As promised in my last blog, what makes this program different……
Well, if you read here frequently, you already know I was the poster girl for Hashimoto’s, but I was also the poster girl for least results from the most dieting attempts. Bet you think this is an exaggeration. So name a diet… bet I have tried it! Weight watchers? Paleo? Atkins? Yes, new and old one. South Beach? Mediterranean? Soup diet? American Diabetes Association? America Heart Association? Gaps? High protein? Low carb? Body for life? Zone? Hashimoto diet? Scarsdale? Richard Simmons? Suzanne Summers?? Diet workshop? The little containers? Autoimmune paleo? Spark people? Seriously, those are only the ones I thought of off the top of my head! I am a diet pro! Been there done that!
When I found Dr. Jack, I had been on paleo unsuccessfully for six months. I listened as he told me all about his plan, but was I skeptical… hello! You read the list right? Of course I was. When I started with him and lost fifteen pounds, I was interested. When I lost thirty I was feeling good, fifty I was happy, when it was seventy? I became ecstatic. The rest is beyond any dream I could have ever imagined. So what made this THE ONE?
Because it is truly THE ONE! And if you follow it, if you do what he tells you to, it works! And if you take short cuts, and cheat, then it won’t. This one is actually not about losing weight! It’s about getting your body into optimal health! Completely healthy! Weight loss is an added wonderful side effect! How cool is that! So not only do you lose, but suddenly you feel amazing. So here’s my list of what I loved about it and what i think separates it from the rest.
- It’s all about fixing what is really wrong. Dr. Jack educates people that their weight is a symptom of underlying conditions. You treat what is wrong? Weight just goes all by itself! It took awhile to believe that, but now? I believe it completely! I am living proof.
- It uses real food! Like get it at any grocery store. No whacky combinations, no weirdo ingredients. You can look at the list and make food. You can stop somewhere and pick up something.
- If you follow it without cheating, you get results. Measurable results. Mostly weight but lots of other things too. Your blood pressure goes down, your medications decrease. You have tons of energy and you sleep like a kid again.
- The weight comes off pretty fast. That was amazing early on, like you are breathing and dropping weight. Now it’s slower, but hey, I feel so wonderful, I just don’t care if it goes slow.
- Its portable. You aren’t eating any frozen meals, dried, manufactured, weird chemical laden products. I carry a lunch bag tons of places but I can manage to find things anywhere.
- You have a doctor educating you all the way. He doesn’t stand there and just say do this, don’t do this. He doesn’t just hand you a book and say good luck. He explains all the whys. He teaches you how your body really works. The education is so valuable. First time in all the years I had this disease that anyone actually explained it to me.
- When you work with Dr. Jack, you are on a team! You are never in it alone. He has closed Facebook groups where people support each other. He lets you email him. You don’t feel like you are not getting answers.
- It really is the way to live the rest of your life. Well, it is for me. I know lots of people who decided to go off. Not me. I am a lifer for this program. I’m feeling way to awesome to even consider going back.
- Its tweaked to your particular disease. Tell him you have thyroid problems, there are things you shouldn’t do. Got health problems? Diseases? Got issues? He has solutions! I know that for fact. My daughter did this program and for me things were a bit tighter, but they need to be.
- There is absolutely no exercise program involved. No jumping, straining, can’t walk the next day exercises.
- It is a total health inclusive plan… sleep, hydration, stress, quality supplementation. It’s not just about food.
- There is more than physical benefits. There are mental benefits, sleep benefits, quality of life benefits. Suddenly your anxiety level goes down.
- You don’t just lose weight, you actually cure your illness. You lose your symptoms.
- You get your life back, only it’s ten times better than it ever was! Except me. Mine is like a trillion times better than it ever was!
Right now, Dr. Jack has a thirty day and twelve week programs going with a maintenance plan. When I started with him he had a six month plan that I needed times as many times as he would let me! A year later I don’t feel as though I have learned everything he has to teach me. I always want more!
If someone asked me what I think the BIGGEST difference is….. that’s easy. It’s him. It really is him.
I would challenge you to find another doctor who cares more about your story, your illness, your lack of success than Dr. Jack. If you email him a problem, he is getting back to you with solutions. If you don’t understand something, he explains it. It’s him. He is happy for you when it’s going well, and there with answers when it isn’t. It really is him, he is the difference.
He speaks in terms everyone can understand. Ever sit at a doctors office where they are using terminology you don’t even comprehend? Wish I had a dollar for every time that happened. When Dr. Jack talks you know what he is talking about. Difficult concepts are broken down into regular speech.
He is not pushy, not bossy. He gives you information, he educates his patients and then allows you to make the important decisions. If a problem involves a different area of health, he finds you the people to help you. When my back was hurting, he found me a chiropractor near my job. What did he get out if that deal? Nothing but the satisfaction of helping me.
This experience has completely and totally changed who I am. Knowing him has changed me.
This really is an amazing, life altering program, and I am so grateful I found it!
Hugs,
