"I thought that physical exercise was everything, but found I needed to review my concepts"

After a life struggling against the scale and counting calories in every meal, things went worse during the COVID pandemic. Wladmir gained another 20 extra pounds. We really needed to do something about that! So we decided to join the Wildfit Challenge, after discovering Mindvalley, in September 2020. 

Wildfit simply changed our lives forever. I came in just to support my husband. But we could never imagine the huge amount of knowledge that we would get from this wonderful program. We found that the famous food pyramid that we learned in med school (we are both doctors) is completely flawed and should be banned! Our bodies were not made for the excess sugars and carbohydrates that we are exposed to and we thought was normal. 

We started to favor meats, eggs, leaves, lots of vegetables, healthy oils, nuts and complex carbohydrates, such as cassava and sweet potatoes. Varied fruits, but not in excess. Now, we never go hungry! Quite the opposite, we eat freely and stopped worrying about calories. 

Over the course of a year, the transformation we observed in our bodies was simply absurd. Wlad has lost those extra 20 pounds (and counting), and his body changed completely, gaining a lot of muscle mass. Now he is getting lean and defined, also aided by Ronan and the 10x program. 
I kept my weight but, at 51 years of age, I went back to my mid-twenties body. Something we never expected. Anyway… that's it. 
I thought that physical exercise was everything, but found I needed to review my concepts. What defines our body is mainly what we eat!

"I have truly never felt this physically good in my entire life and I can’t stop telling people about it!"

I LOVED the program! I lost 20lbs (9 kg). One of the biggest things for me (which I was not expecting AT ALL) was that my feet which have been wide my entire life are now down to a normal size! I’ve always had such a hard time fitting in shoes and now my shoes are literally falling off!

“A lot of my beliefs around food and the way we approach it was shattered by Eric”

I was a very healthy eater ( at least I thought so) till I joined The Wildfit quest. But more importantly deep down I felt something was not right with what we all are consuming today. Also had the notion that l could eat a bit of junk once in a while as long as I worked out afterwards. And ...
