Becoming the old-new me

I never had any problems with my weight - I was always the active one in the family. But then my metabolism didn't work as well as it used to when I hit my mid-30s, especially after my first child. My time for exercising was pretty limited. During pregnancy, I gained a lot of weight, which I never got rid of again. No matter what I tried, no matter what diet or personal trainer I got, I couldn't fix my physical ailments. Until I came across Jana, who finally gave me a breakthrough to the old-new me. The Next Level Me program is so comprehensive that it focuses not only on diet and exercise, but also on the mind, sleep, hormones, and self-love. In my case, the mind, especially the hypnosis, and the module on hormones made the biggest difference.

Embracing the feel-good-weight

I am pre-menopausal and have gained a few kilos in the last few months. I haven't changed anything in my diet or exercise program. But due to the extra weight, I didn't feel attractive anymore - even if I dressed up and made an effort. But thanks to Jana, I have regained my self-confidence and feel much more comfortable in my own body. I've already lost a few kilos after the session. That's incredible.

Combating the sugar addiction

I don't know if you can imagine what it means to be addicted to sugar. It’s terrible - I always had to eat a piece of chocolate after meals, and I ended up devouring the whole bar. My cravings really got to me, and even though I knew it was bad for me, I couldn't resist. Little did I know that all these cravings had to do with my childhood - with all the affection and attention by my father. Today, I don't even think about chocolate anymore. Fine, I can eat it, but sugar no longer dictates me. I have power over what and when I want to eat. Finally.

Stopping the binge eating

I thought my binge eating was just something to do with my menstrual cycle. Well, women out there, you know what I'm talking about. Of course, it is somewhat related to my cycle, but the real reason for it, and more importantly why I couldn't stop, was deeply embedded in my subconsciousness. Over the years, I developed this autopilot behavior and thoughts about food - which were basically just comforting me. However, when I understood what the reason for this behavior was in more depth, it helped me to finally say goodbye to my binge-eating. Not being dictated by cravings anymore.

Fighting the extra kilos

There was a point when my wife told me I had gotten so fat that she didn't find me attractive anymore - this was during the lockdown when I had, thanks to Covid, gained a couple of kilos. I worked from my home office 24/7 and didn't move around much anymore. But that wasn't really the problem - it was my psyche. I gained weight because the pandemic reactivated an old belief that I needed to eat to feel safe and protected. Feeling full, in turn, made me feel that everything I needed was available to me; that I’d had enough. I was afraid of driving my family business to the wall - of undoing years of hard-earned success. I would have never thought that my mind had such a strong ability to build a shield by reshaping my body.
