I had to share this email I received. I am sharing it incase you need motivation to start today with reclaiming your health! if you need proof that getting to root cause is important. If you need proof that whole food plant based SOS free is necessary. If water fasting work. If the foundations of health are important!!!
just incase you need any proof!! Here is at least one of thousands I can provide for you --- coming from the person herself (with permission of course) .......
Dr. Veress – it was so wonderful to reconnect with you the other day.
I feel so fortunate to have been able to fast at TrueNorth and to have had you and Dr. Streutker working with me. When I arrived in the Spring of 2022, I had been suffering from chronic and debilitating migraines for 13 years. At the worst point, I was having several a week and some were lasting multiple days, accompanied by severe nausea, light and smell sensitivity. It felt like I tried everything and had every test, but nothing worked. Each morning when I woke up, I had no idea what to expect. My life was entirely unpredictable, making it hard to work, parent, compete as a dancer, plan leisure, and enjoy life. I was ready to do anything to feel better. Then I learned about TrueNorth, and Dr. Goldhamer agreed to let me come for a fast.
Dr. Streutker oversaw my fast and was fantastic. During my stay, I had a few appointments with you and instantly felt assured with your knowledge and experience with migraines. We agreed I would refeed on the sensitive food plan and stay away from gluten for at least 6 mos, given my family history with it and because it is a common trigger for migraine sufferers. I stayed with your plan. When I returned home I had a few migraines here & there, but then things began to settle down. You continued to expertly guide me via telehealth appointments, with my P*P often joining to learn and stay apprised, and my husband and I have continued to do 3 day fasts every other month.��Thanks to these changes, I have my life back. I no longer live with the fear of looming illness and unpredictability. The silver lining was that the same lifestyle changes that helped me eliminate my migraines also made my family healthier—my husband and his mother having dealt with a constellation of autoimmune conditions and my father-in-law with heart disease. The more I learned about the systemic changes happening for all of us as a result of whole-foods SOS free plant-based eating and fasting, the more compelled I was to reach broader and help more people. Since then, I have had the privilege of supporting hundreds of friends and family members on their journey to take back their health through coaching.
Earlier this year, I was able to convince the CEO of my 20,000 employee company to sponsor a plant-based eating program. I reached out to Dr. Neal Barnard at PCRM for help, and we have worked together for the last 6 months to launch the initiative. I wrote an open letter to my peers to promote the program, and response already been resounding - we'll have 225 participants when we launch the week of January 6th and will run 16 weeks! So many people sick of feeling terrible and looking to turn their lives around and get their health back. Thank you for the incredible gift of health; this is my way of paying it forward.
I am deeply grateful to you, Dr. Strekeur, Dr. Goldhamer and the amazing team at TrueNorth.
