Today has been one of those days that makes all the crappy, why bother, bang my head against a brick wall days worth it.
Today I had TWO clients have the realization that what they eat and how they live has a huge impact on various areas of their lives.
What is super big about this is that they are both males who until they came to see me, were quite resistant to adopting lifestyle changes to improve their lives. When I say 'until they came to see me' I'm not implying that I was the cause of their turnaround - I wasn't.
They both had wives who wanted their husbands to see me, in one case since early last year, however, I refuse to see anyone unless it is their choice and it is a question I ask at the beginning of a consultation when I believe a person has been coerced to see me.
If they aren't there of their own volition then I terminate the consultation which is what I did with one of these men some months ago.
Males in particular tend to be most resistant yet they also seem to get the biggest and quickest results.
Today one of these men (who was actually very unwell when he first came to see me) informed me of his 'awareness' of the quality of what he consumed - this was music to my ears.
Awareness is EVERYTHING!
Both these men commented on increased energy, better sleep, reduced digestive symptoms, weightloss (unwanted in one so we're working on that now), increased focus/concentration, and one said for the first time he now actually enjoyed food, all in just one month of eating fresh, quality, made from scratch food and being conscious of stress and how they were dealing with it.
Needless to say their families, wives in particular, are very happy and while these men's success is owed in big part to their wive's commendable support in numerous ways, the major player here, I believe, is that they did it when THEY were ready and did it for THEMSELVES.
