Testimonials

“Mona, you said something that just brought tears to my eyes, and I wanted you to know how you inspired me. That night you had such a calming presence about you, and you said, “If you do the right things, eat the right kinds of food, you’ll feel better, and the weight will just come off.”  Something in what you said resonated with me, and for the first time, I felt like I was about to embark on a weight loss plan that was truly going to change my life because I was going to be successful.  And, you were absolutely right!  By cutting out the carbs, that voice inside of me has completely disappeared. I had no idea that I WAS THE ONE creating that voice inside of me and that I HAD THE POWER to silence it. I do not feel pressured or stressed to eat right, I just eat what I am supposed to, I feel great, and the weight is just coming off.  

I don’t even feel as if I am really trying, and then I’m shocked each week as I get on the scale and see what has happened.  Your encouraging words helped me so much. Thank you so much.  I just wanted you to know that your words made such a difference for me. Blessings”   - Karen 

“Before I joined the class, I was experiencing deep depression and therefore food was my friend. Eating food always relaxed me. Unfortunately, I gained over 100 pounds and I was unable to fit any of my old clothes and even struggled to walk and pray the five times Muslims are required to pray.

In late April, Mona came to our home to let us know about the weight loss program. During early March, we decided to join after we watched a video that talks about how our body processes food. We started with simple steps such as reorganizing how we eat and cook our food. We also learned how eating protein in the morning and avoiding sugar can jumpstart how our body functions.

The program has brought fundamental changes to my lifestyle and to the lifestyle of my whole family. For me, I started taking care of myself by eating right and by spending time to think of my health and how important it is not only to me but to my kids. Today as a family, we go together to shop and my kids remind me not to forget to buy almonds, vegetables, and fruits that have less sugar. We truly start reading labels and we avoid processed food, frozen pizzas, and carbohydrates such as pasta and white flour.

I am happy to have lost weight and gained knowledge that puts me and my kids on a healthy path. I am also determined to lose all my unwanted weight because I now know the benefit of eating right and losing weight. I have already seen it in my body and for the first time in my life I do not get headaches and do not need to use the ER anymore!”  - Hilima 

“My reasons for participating in the program were more about creating an overall healthier lifestyle, which for me included primarily taking my eating habits up a notch through a low glycemic diet and working with someone who sees health as a holistic picture. And, when I learned that Mona was facilitating a TLS program, I knew I was in the right hands. Mona brings such a passion and in-depth knowledge about the holistic nature of health, and is a “walking dictionary” of knowledge about natural foods, supplementation, etc... and how to combine them in a healthy way that is individualized for each person’s needs. Working with Mona, I have been guided towards what is exactly right for me. I continue to learn new concepts about eating and through Mona have discovered new foods and ingredients that I didn’t even know existed to incorporate into my healthy eating habits. Interestingly, even though my goal wasn’t specifically to lose weight, I lost weight and toned up through changing how I was eating in combination with my already existing healthy self-care habits. Thank you Mona!”  - Dawn

“The gift of Mona, is her ability to concentrate and listen deeply. With decades of research and training done on a personal level, complemented by formal training, Mona laid a solid foundation for helping others. She was involved in alternative approaches to using food and supplements to improve health in the early 80’s. She read and followed Dr. Carl Pfeiffer’s research and his approach to nutrition and supplementation back when it wasn’t trendy or on the radar of most clinicians. She found answers for herself and for her family’s health challenges and has helped many of us with balancing our bodies with her focus and commitment. Mona has always been hungry for information, and has stayed on the cutting edge of new food and supplement research. She is an amazing resource for anyone who is looking to find the answers for issues they have with their health.”    - Suzanne Kramer, MA, CFT
