I didnt expect much initially. But one that I definitely did not expect was to lose over 60 pounds and 10 inches of my waist. Most of it with normal healthy diet choices, better sleep and way less stress. Less cortisol changed more than I expected.

To look deep inside for the first time in my 65 years not feelings that I numbed out and repressed. Extreme volatile anger at my upbringing and now going to therapy. That's what I didn't expect thank you and love you l

My peace.
