"This program gave me so much more than expected"

I thought my life was pretty good before November 1, 2016. On that day I fell, slammed my head on a rock, and in a moment, thought it was the end. After the blackout and a trip to the ER, I was diagnosed with a concussion. Life just wasn't the same after that and in the year following took a turn for the worse in that I got very sick, was mis-diagnosed - or really un-diagnosed as after multiple trips to my primary doctor, specialists, blood tests, x-rays, MRI's, Rx pills, etc., there was no diagnosis. Life sucked and I fell into a horrible depression, anxiety, single-parent (divorced) guilt, and every night wondering if I would wake up in the morning. Alcohol and then Rx drugs were the only thing I was holding on to. After almost two years of this and at the advice of my family, I got a new primary care doctor. She recognized a vitamin B12 deficiency that no other doctor had noticed and with an OTC B12 supplement and "prescribed" stress reduction I was on my way. B12, yoga, meditation, and EFT definitely helped, but I was still not well. Then December 2019 - I truly became a single parent when my ex-husband passed away unexpectedly in his sleep; three weeks later, a retired co-worker of my - same thing. It was a grim Christmas and not-so-jolly new year. I honestly believe the universe sends us what we need when we need it; for me, it was the WildFit masterclass advertisement in an email. I typically ignore most of those types of emails, but something made me read it. After watching the masterclass, I joined thinking this was my last-ditch effort to "get healthy". 

I had no intention of weight loss or even thought it would help me with my emotional side. But, I played full out and 90 days later ... my life isn't just better ... I AM ON A NEW LIFE JOURNEY. This program gave me so much more than expected. It was definitely a challenge but the whole program, from the videos to Eric and the coaches' support and Facebook group, was instrumental in driving me to keep going. 

I released 12 pounds, I have newfound energy I never thought possible, I have a love of life that I can now share with my children and family, confidence and mental clarity, and I now go to bed thinking about the future. Depression - gone, physical ailments - gone, and full of HOPE.
