Inspiring Testimonial from Stacie
Stacie, a program participant in a licensed center in Michigan, shares her thoughts about the Innate Lifestyle Program.
Health has taken on a whole new meaning since going through the Innate Lifestyle™ Program. Through the Innate Lifestyle™ Program, I have learned to eat much better, move more and think about what’s going on inside my head. Since last August when I began this program with my husband, I have had a complete paradigm shift in how food, exercising and my thoughts directly relate to my overall health, energy and vitality.
I have learned so much. I have learned the effects of food on my body, both positive and negative. Prior to the Innate Lifestyle™ Program I had a lot of misinformation about food. I thought I was doing a lot of good things for myself and my family, and I was, but not what I am today after being educated about what our cells need to express health. It’s very freeing to choose to eat fruits, vegetables, proteins, water and supplements when we know that’s really all the food that our cells require to reflect health. The most amazing part of changing our paradigm about food is that our 3-year-old daughter has learned right along with us. What a blessing it is for her to begin at such a young age.
The second component of the Innate Lifestyle™ Program is learning how to MOVE WELL. I have learned to gradually change my activity habits. I have learned to create at least two times in my day to stretch and get movement into my spine. I will be honest and say that at the beginning of the program I wasn’t a very “athletic” person by doing things like running or using weights, but little by little I have learned how to work out and enjoy what I feel like afterwards. I have learned how exercise not only helps my body look physically better, but I have an increase in energy, I have a much better night’s sleep and have a combatant towards stress each day. The program helped me keep track of my daily movement and guided me more on my individual progress.
Finally, the THINK WELL part of the Innate Lifestyle™ program was the most surprising to me. Surprising in that I had never realized how much my thought process really affected my overall health. I have learned to begin each day with quiet time to keep myself centered and filled up with positives about myself. I have learned how my positive and negative self-talk effects my behaviors on a daily basis. I have learned strategies to focus on the sources of my emotions and behaviors. My belief systems and self-talk have changed greatly towards the better. My favorite part of THINK WELL is learning to love myself more and by doing this I can love my husband, daughter, family and friends better. It’s stopping to reflect on the positives in my life and choosing to make the best of each moment. I am a different person today because of participating in the Innate Lifestyle™ Program.
The first time my doctor mentioned the Innate Lifestyle™ Program to my husband and I, I was skeptical of spending the money and had doubts about starting a year long program. However, I realized that this was a great opportunity and a great way to change my family tree. I wanted a fresh start. I wanted to be healthier. I wanted to move better. I wanted to think better. I wanted to make better choices for my family. I felt like I would regret not doing the Innate Lifestyle™ Program. My husband and I both wanted to make a change in our family. Having my husband doing the program alongside me was vitally important. We have grown so much together over the past year, supported each other when business got the better of us, and encouraged each other when we needed it. As a family, we’ve come away with a greater purpose for being the family God intended us to be, a love for eating healthy food, a desire to include movement into our everyday life, positive thinking and gratefulness for our many blessings. Thank you for being amazing coaches and mentors! Thank you for sharing all your gifts throughout this program.
