“I’ve come to the 4-month mark on my Healthstyle Emporium journey – a place I never thought I’d get to. I thought I would give it a try, but anticipated failing as I had with every other ‘health kick’ I’d ever tried, because I didn’t take my health seriously. I finally realised I really needed to do something when I stood on the scales at the hospital before an operation – I weighed 5kg more than I thought I did. Not 5kg more than what I wanted, more than what I thought. Which was about 10kg more than what I wanted to weigh. I was sitting on a train for 9 hours a week, skipping meals, drinking 2 cans of Coke a day, only having vegetables for dinner and doing absolutely no exercise. I was sick and tired all the time – Enter the Healthstyle Emporium my secret weapon.
Thankfully I moved away from the city and don’t spend hours commuting every day anymore – but I was still unhealthy and unhappy with my body. A couple of girlfriends and I decided to give the Healthstyle Emporium a go, and I started to see results straight away. I was more awake, and alert for study, I wasn’t craving naughty foods as much (but I still cave into those cravings sometimes), my body was asking me to drink more water, I didn’t want any Coke, I didn’t want to drink alcohol. Most importantly I had control of my health – I’ve been sick since high school, after having Glandular Fever. I haven’t needed antibiotics or a trip to the doctors since starting the program with their wholefood nutrition products. I cannot tell you how amazing that is for me. I own my body again.
I almost didn’t sign up for the Healthstyle Emporium again, I thought I could do it on my own. How wrong I was, as soon as I stopped taking those magic beans that come with the program I was sick and sleepy and very cranky. I couldn’t re-sign fast enough.
The best part of the program is the access I get to the HealthStyle Emporium team. It’s like having your own personal girl gang of health care professionals. There’s support when you’re craving that block of chocolate, there’s advice about the annoying rash you’ve had on the back of your arm your whole life, there’s recipes and challenges – more than anything there is over 200 women who are just like you. Who want you to succeed and want you to be the best version of yourself. Where else in the world can you find that? A secret group of women all committed to building each other up, setting goals and kicking them out of the ball park.
My life is changed from this program. I’ve lost 10kg, I finally got the courage to become vegetarian, I’ve lost more than 8cm from around my waist, my skin and mind are clear and I’m on track to becoming the best bloody version of myself this world has seen. Either get on board, or get out of the way because nothing can stop me now!”
