Tiago Medeiros's Account
I joined this program a year ago and it was not only an answer to my prayers but it has also prepared my body in a way I had no idea at the time would be invaluable to me.
I have been struggling with weight issues ever since I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease some 37 yrs ago and I was put on heavy doses of steroids to treat the disease. While I have been off medication for over 10 years I still carried a lot of the weight I had put on from the steroids. I was also dealing with pre menopause, pre diabetic, high levels of stress caring for an elderly parent while working full time, poor sleep, mood swings, daily sugar cravings, tired, poor liver function, sore back and knees. I was generally unwell. In the past I tried all sorts of diets and exercise but nothing seemed to work long term. In the short term I'd lose weight but in a few months it was all back on or I even gained more weight.
I came across Tiago's instagram reel talking about inflammation and the effects of chronic inflammation on your body. Suddenly, someone was making some real sense. I realised I had been suffering chronic inflammation for years. I arranged an online call to learn more and pretty much signed up immediately and was determined to follow the program as strictly as I could.
Within a week the daily sugar cravings were gone, I wasn't feeling as tired. I didn't lose a huge amount of weight at first but I was feeling better. A month into the program I literally felt my body deflate. I was sleeping better, the kilos were dropping and my belly and back fat were disappearing. I had never felt better. Six months after being on the program I was down 10 kgs (22 lbs). I decided to call my doctor and request my yearly blood test. I had my blood test and a week later my doctor called with the resulst and asked if I had lost weight. I said yes, and my doctor replied keep doing what you are doing because all your blood test results have come back normal. My liver was good, no longer pre diabetic, my inflammation markers were down to single digits, the lowest they had been since I was diagnosed with my autoimmune disease. I was feeling great and determined to continue on this trajectory.
Four months ago I received shocking news. I was diagnosed with cancer - not one but two primary cancers. Needless to say my world was turned upside down. During the past four months my coach Nour, Tiago and the team have been amazingly supportive. I have remained on Phase 1 of the program for the last year, keeping my inflammation levels down. The mediation and breathing I have learned through this program has done wonders with managing my stress levels and any anxiety that comes with dealing with cancer. The education I have gained through the program has been invaluable in learning to listen to my body and course correcting when I have failed to follow the program. I am almost half through chemotherapy and while I have a long way to go I am doing remarkably well and I cannot credit this program, Tiago and his team enough for unknowingly helping me prepare my body for a battle I myself didn't know I would face. To date I have dropped 23 kgs (50 lbs) and lost 12 cm off my waist. I cannot imagine where I would be today if my diagnosis had been made a year ago when my body, mind and soul was in it's worst shape.
I cannot recommend this program, Tiago and team enough. Their dedication to supporting and getting positive outcomes for their clients is immeasurable. If you are procrastinating about whether this program is for you or not, don't! Have faith and take the plunge. It will literally change your life but most of all transform your mind, body and soul.
