The Holistic Weight Loss Journey proved to be a weekly oasis of ‘me’ time that focused on how much stronger and calmer I can become through a variety of healthier choices.

I really enjoyed your gentle guidance and endless support. Small meaningful steps towards a better me. I was so stressed out and deeply depressed when we started this project. I was hoping to get my health and happiness under control. I know that that will be a lifelong balance. But I am happy to see the light at the end of the tunnel…will I ever reach the end of the tunnel…who knows and more importantly I am not concerned about reaching the end….I am simply overjoyed to see it exist.
While I haven’t “mastered” my leptin yet….I am working every day to master it…As you know , I have lost 20 pounds and hope to lose at least 20 more. I feel more like my old self and more in control . Another HUGE change for me was giving up soda. I tried for a few months before I was able to completely cut soda out. I was most proud of this change. I was able to do it. I had always reasoned that soda wasn’t drugs or alcohol  and even though I knew it was unhealthy it was ok right? I was finally able to conquer it. and tell myself it is destroying my health and although not as scandaless as drugs and alcohol it was just as destructive.

I feel so alive now (I do have set backs and have hard times) but compared to where I was …I am getting back to the me I know and love. I was desperately looking to escape far far away to heal…thankfully I was able to escape in your project and begin healing me.
Saying No to people and saying yes to me.

I love you! Thank you for you!

Imagine a woman who was feeling very disappointed in herself. Too tired, too heavy, and too disillusioned. All this on the heels of years of research and effort towards healthier lifestyle. I was struggling to recover from a knee surgery. I was struggling to curb continued weight gain. Finally, I was struggling with poor attitude toward everyday life and the prospects for my future.
On the physical side, I would be absolutely remiss not to mention some of the greatest gifts that this journey has bestowed upon me. I will never again go without castor oil packs and foot baths. I will continue to exercise and honor my body even if I don’t lose 10 lbs. per minute. However, for me, the greatest physical gift and the keys to the freedom was understanding the workings of my digestive tract. Also I now embrace the times when I am tired. I am not weak, sick or lazy. I just need a nap.
Finally, this journey would not be complete without my profound gratitude to you. I will never again look at a dandelion as a weed! I will always laugh out loud when I think of ice cold sheet. People will always wonder why I am putting cayenne pepper in my tea. All this I owe to you. I love your laughter, your empathy and your spirit. I will continue to practice your teachings and I hope that you will continue to share your knowledge with me. You are a gift that God placed directly in my path.

When I started with Anat’s group, I was suffering from food cravings, which plagued me emotionally and physically. I was reaching for carbohydrate-type foods to cope with life. The aftermath was digestive and sleep issues. I had tried different types of food plans and styles of eating – vegetarian, vegan, raw vegan, high-carb/low fat, low carb/low fat. I was not able to maintain these styles for long.
About a month after Anat’s group started, I started to settle down and got into a rhythm of eating three meals per day and soon discovered what foods were calming for my body and mind. I found support in the group and started searching accountability groups online. Six months later I have stopped turning to food for comfort. My digestion and sleep issues have been resolved. I have peace in the way I eat.
Thank you so much, Anat. Your Group was truly a God-send!

Hello my name is Christina Tilton I am 32 years old. First of all I would like to share a little bit about my story. In the year of 1999, a virus name Transverse Myelitis attacked my nervous system at a C-5 C-6 level.

This virus caused me to have pain in my neck which in two hours paralyzed me from the neck down. The doctors told me I would be in the wheelchair for the rest of my life basically never walk again or have any movements as long as I live. The virus did a lot of nerve damage to my spinal cord and according to the Internet regarding this virus you really don’t get much back if anything. Some people are lucky to gain full recovery depending on where the virus hit them that. In my case, I’m one of the worst cases I had nothing from the neck down no movements at all. The virus came from a vaccine called the hepatitis B shot which I got when I was in the 8th grade.

Unfortunately, I did not learn this until years later. I was 14 years old at the time. To make Long story short The doctors were wrong! Even though it has been 18 years, July 3, 1999, I have gained a tremendous strength, my spinal cord and nerves are recovering, my brain is working with muscles, and so much more is happening that is not supposed to happen. Even though it has been almost 18 years, I do not count the first 10 years due to a marriage that failed.

My ex-husband did not help me too well during my recovery in those years. But God is in Control. Everything that Transverse Myelitis took from me I am gaining back. I have a physical therapist that knows a lot about this virus and has worked with other individuals that has been affected with the same virus. When my physical therapist heard about my case from another physical therapist he did not know what to do for me. However, when he met me he tested my muscles and was amazed at how much my body is working when it should have deteriorated and atrophied so bad to a point there’s just no way for recovery. My physical therapist told me I’m a very rare case and how my body is healing is impossible.

He was so stunned that it caused him to go back and research the virus and go back over what he learned in college regarding spinal cord injuries. The therapy that I am going through right now are the following: physical therapy, occupational therapy, chiropractic therapy, cranial sacral therapy, water therapy, and Massage Therapy with the use of young living oil’s. With all this therapy that I am going through I can say they all have their part of my healing for example the massage therapy with Young living oils. I have been doing massage therapy since December 2016.

About a month ago my massage therapist Marty Sovis introduced me too A product called Goldenrod Salve. Goldenrod Salve is used for muscle spasms, cramps, aches, burns, and wounds. He put the goldenrod salve on areas where I suffer from muscle spasms the most such as the pelvic, legs, ankles, back, and arms. I noticed a difference the first time he put the salve on me. My muscle spasms have decreased everywhere. Also the hyper tone has decreased in my body which is a form of a spasm. The best way I could explain hyper tone would be when your big toe has a cramp in it and your toe is bent down and you can’t get it to go back up until it relaxes. Unfortunately, I suffered from hyper tone throughout whole entire body for years especially my legs, hips, back and pelvic.

Ever since I have use this product the spasms and the hyper tone decreased. My physical therapist even noticed that my spasms and Hyper tone Decreased. He is amazed with the changes in my body. With that being said now my muscles are able to work more on their own instead of having the spasms and hyper tone to help me do my therapy which comes and goes and only caused me to gain a little bit of strength in my muscles. Now what strength I gain from now on is going to stay. I am so happy that I tried this product I really do truly believe this has helped me along my journey to walk again. I will like to thank Anat Shlagman for creating this product. I really do appreciate your time and effort to create a natural healing product you have blessed me in so many ways and this means so much to me thank you again!

Sincerely, Christina Tilton
