I have been in pain of some sort for as long as I can remember. Doctors have told me over the years that there was nothing they could do. Or they gave me medication that had painful side-effects. Or they didnāt tell me about approaches that could have helped.
In the Food Addiction Reset Companies, I have put āuncurableā conditions into remission. Here is my story.
I had brain seizures 2004-2006, during my food addiction doctoral program. I was told they would never go away and I would need to be heavily medicated to keep them under control. I have been free from seizures for 16 years thanks to the Addiction Reset Community, a special food plan, and an intense meditation practice.
In 2019, I was hit by a van while on foot in a crosswalk. Initially the doctors thought I would need two weeks of rehab but I healed so quickly that they sent me straight home from the hospital three days later. Covid came next and I couldnāt get an evaluation of the brain injury for one and a half years. The evaluation showed a wide-ranging loss of brain capacity, especially academic writing. Everyone agreed that I would never get that back. Today, I am writing complex academic papers thanks to support from ARC Members, breathwork I learned in the ARC, and the many recovery activities of the ARC.
Lifelong physical problems that Iāve overcome in the ARC include recurring sinus infection, asthma, allergies, joint pain, and migraines. Now, I go to the doctors annually for a physical that reveals that nothing is wrong with me. Iām on no medications at my age of 71.
Emotional issues that have resolved include raging, depression, anxiety, PTSD, childhood trauma, negativity and critical nature. I am cheerful and positive in a consistent way I couldnāt even have imagined. My self-talk is positive after decades of a critical dialog in my head from growing up with emotionally abusive parents.
Mentally, my memory is sharp. I pay attention and learn easily. I make good decisions and solve problems constantly. My impulses are under control.
Behaviorally, I have easy control over my food. I have daily spiritual and movement practices. I get great sleep consistently. I have never had the self-esteem needed to take really good care of myself, but the ARC has given that to me through consistently positive feedback on frequent check-ins. Iām in a new relationship that is thriving because the ARC has shown me how to enhance another person. I have learned strategies for detaching from toxic people and toxic commercial entertainment I never knew how to do any of those things until I trained in the ARC.
The ARC has given me a pain-free vigorous life where I process emotions smoothly and feel a deep spiritual connection. My body is in the best shape itās ever been. I feel like I keep getting younger and younger!

I can trace my clinical depression, anxiety disorder, obesity, and physical pain since puberty. Since I joined the Addiction Reset Community my physical, mental, and emotional issues have been put into remission. I would like to share my story. In puberty, I recall nonstop binging and being made fun of for being overweight starting from the age of 10. I also struggled with depression and anxiety. Over time I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Eating Disorders, Hashimotos Thyroiditis, Sheehanās Syndrome, and obesity. Over the years I was on numerous supplements and medications. After joining the Addiction Reset Community these disorders are in remission. I am off of all medications and only take a couple of necessary supplements. Emotional trauma issues from childhood have been resolved and I now am able to find and keep my equilibrium. I was in therapy for years and didnāt get very far at all. Learning over 149 skills in the ARC -Addiction Reset Community has helped me have agency over my emotions. I now have great stable relationships with family, friends, and others thanks to being part of this group.
"My diagnosis happened three years after my mother had died from complications of a diet-related disease. She'd had the condition for several years and I was worried the same thing would happen to me. I needed to make a change and thatās where the ARC came in. It transformed my life."

"On top of having my first ānormalā blood pressure reading in two years, the change in lifestyle has also made me so much calmer in myself. Before, I felt like I was wired and het up and little things set me off much quicker, now I no longer feel that way."
