Google Review from one of our Awaken Wellness Warriors, Renee Peska โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ
"Here's the tl;dr version: This program is real, works amazingly, and completely worth the investment that we made to my health. No regrets!
Here's the longer version and my WHY: My conventional docs had given up on me, โnormal labs,โ except prediabetic and high cholesterol, getting older, โjust deal with it!?โ I was exhausted, slept badly, body hurt every day, perimenopause symptoms had plagued me since my early 30's (I'm almost 49 now), brain fog/memory issues, depression/anxiety/ADHD, almost daily headaches, no s*x drive, daily heartburn, other GI issues, weight gain/inability to lose it when healthy food and exercise wasnโt working anymore.
I found Dr. Nicole via one of the many ads on Facebook, almost wrote it off, but signed up for the hour webinar. Still skeptical, but hopeful, signed up for the 2-hour call with Dr. Nicole and, yes, your spouse needs to be with you for exactly what they say - support. I'm glad he was because he ultimately made the final decision saying that, if I believed in this, he would support me, and it would be worth the investment - time, physical, mental, and yes, financial. But I say it again, it was WORTH IT.
You get: The support of Dr. Nicole, trained in functional medicine, her partner Dr. Elena who is a naturopath, Rebecca, my personal coach, and Natalie who taught classes throughout and then was also my coach at the end and my VIP month. 1:1 coaching, online curriculum and resources, lab results/recommendations, and several zoom classes available each week. There is also a Facebook group for community support. My husband was also key in supporting me, especially as he watched the results of the program as I went through it.
Thorough diagnostics - high level blood panel, organ functions, thyroid, hormones, and food inflammation/sensitivities - most none of my doctors have ever tested me for and, if you look them up online, most results say that these tests are, "inconclusive, unreliable, or at worst controversial." The issue is that most conventional doctors have barely had training on and don't understand our lymphatic system, and they weren't trained to get to the true root cause of our issues - just throw a pill at symptoms or just deal with it.
3 months of natural detox supplements and tools โ this is NOT a cleanse nor the fake detox being pushed everywhere. There is true science behind all of it and the consistent results prove it. Itโs also NOT just for weight loss, although that is one of the many benefits. The detox is meant to unclog your body's neglected and abused natural detox system (lymph and GI) so that it can start doing its job again. So, you won't be on pills forever, it's not a calorie deficit program, yes, healthy eating and exercise are involved, but they teach you what every step is and more importantly WHY it's necessary. Yes, individual results vary. The core program is the same for everyone because it's treating our bodies holistically for an overarching goal, but the docs and coaches do tailor it to your personal needs - existing medical issues, medications, level of toxicity exposure, etc.
The rest of the 6 months is continued coaching, education, and basically setting you up for all of what you learn to be a permanent lifestyle change. Thereโs also an optional VIP program after.
This has been the most thorough, supportive, effective program than I could have hoped for - they far exceeded my expectations. Some of my benefits/results: From daily Tums use for heartburn to NO heartburn since Feb, improved sleep, less brain fog/memory issues, I stopped taking the (really useless) Metformin that my doc put me on for my A1C which is no longer prediabetic, if I stay away from foods that I know cause inflammation I have NO GI issues, I just eat 3 solid meals a day and rarely snack, better mental health, no more food-related headaches, my perimenopause symptoms have improved, my s*x drive is starting to come back, and I've lost almost 50lbs.
THANK YOU Rothman crew!"
