WILDFIT

This program gave me so much more than expected

Quick summary

After years of mysterious illness, depression, and devastating loss left her wondering if she'd wake up each morning, she discovered WildFit as a last-ditch effort. The 90-day journey didn't just improve her health—it gave her a completely new life filled with energy, hope, and love to share with her children.

I thought my life was pretty good before November 1, 2016. On that day I fell, slammed my head on a rock, and in a moment, thought it was the end. After the blackout and a trip to the ER, I was diagnosed with a concussion. Life just wasn't the same after that and in the year following took a turn for the worse in that I got very sick, was mis-diagnosed - or really un-diagnosed as after multiple trips to my primary doctor, specialists, blood tests, x-rays, MRI's, Rx pills, etc., there was no diagnosis. Life sucked and I fell into a horrible depression, anxiety, single-parent (divorced) guilt, and every night wondering if I would wake up in the morning. Alcohol and then Rx drugs were the only thing I was holding on to. After almost two years of this and at the advice of my family, I got a new primary care doctor. She recognized a vitamin B12 deficiency that no other doctor had noticed and with an OTC B12 supplement and "prescribed" stress reduction I was on my way. B12, yoga, meditation, and EFT definitely helped, but I was still not well. Then December 2019 - I truly became a single parent when my ex-husband passed away unexpectedly in his sleep; three weeks later, a retired co-worker of my - same thing. It was a grim Christmas and not-so-jolly new year. I honestly believe the universe sends us what we need when we need it; for me, it was the WildFit masterclass advertisement in an email. I typically ignore most of those types of emails, but something made me read it. After watching the masterclass, I joined thinking this was my last-ditch effort to "get healthy".

I had no intention of weight loss or even thought it would help me with my emotional side. But, I played full out and 90 days later ... my life isn't just better ... I AM ON A NEW LIFE JOURNEY. This program gave me so much more than expected. It was definitely a challenge but the whole program, from the videos to Eric and the coaches' support and Facebook group, was instrumental in driving me to keep going.

I released 12 pounds, I have newfound energy I never thought possible, I have a love of life that I can now share with my children and family, confidence and mental clarity, and I now go to bed thinking about the future. Depression - gone, physical ailments - gone, and full of HOPE.
