The interview

What was your life like from a health perspective before joining the Living Proof Institute?

I was a little bit all over the map. I had some childhood trauma that caused me to start gaining weight at a young age as a protection barrier. In my adulthood, there were periods where I was really fit and went to the gym six days a week, but I didn't have the maturity to correlate my health journey and my mental state, so I ended up gaining a lot of weight back.

What made you decide to say yes to the Living Proof Institute?

There were a couple of factors. One, I was ready and wanted change. Secondly, I had a couple of friends who had done the program and spoke tremendously high of the results and how many areas of their life it impacted. Thirdly, I felt the support team was extremely genuine in wanting to figure out the root causes of my specific challenges.

Was there anything holding you back from starting the program?

For me specifically, I don't feel there was anything that was going to hold me back. The way I looked at it was this was a small drop in the bucket for an investment financial perspective for potentially lifelong reward.

How has your journey been and what results have you seen?

My journey has been phenomenal. I saw tremendous results in my sleep and my overall health. The approach is different because they specifically want to know what works for you and what doesn't, rather than painting everyone with the same brush. They factor in hormones, age, sensitivities, and inflammation.

What surprised you most about the program?

The thing that surprised me most was that they stuck to what they said they were going to do. They responded to my questions and supported me through the six-week process. It wasn't 'you're on your own, figure it out'—they had my back the whole time.

How do you look at health differently now?

I look at my whole body and what I am putting into it. I look at light and hormones and how proper lighting supports overall hormone health and production at the right times of day to support better sleep. The learning has been absolutely outstanding.

What are you able to do now that you couldn't do before?

Something switched in my brain and I look at food completely different. I look at it from a nourishing my body standpoint and wanting to feel good, not potentially a prior food addiction mentality that I have had in the past.

Why would you recommend the Living Proof Institute to others?

You're going to get more than you're asking. Given that you're ready to commit to yourself and the process, you will see the results and you've got the team to support you. Without Sachin, Deepa, and the coaches, my mindset likely wouldn't have shifted. My life is transformed.

Full transcript

My life before the Living Proof Institute was from a health perspective. I was a little bit over all over the map, I had some childhood trauma that caused me to start gaining weight at a young age as a protection barrier and in my adulthood there were periods of time where I was really fit, went to the gym six days a week, super healthy but I didn't have the maturity at that age to correlate my health journey and my mental state at that time and so I then ended up gaining a lot of weight back. So what made me want to say yes to the Living Proof Institute was a couple of factors. One, I was ready. I wanted change in my life and my health journey. Secondly, I did have a couple of friends that have done the program and they spoke tremendously high of it and the results of what they were getting health wise and how many areas of their life it was impacting in such a positive way and thirdly I do feel like the team of support was extremely genuine of wanting to figure out what the root causes of your specific challenges were. The initial consult was very easy for me to actually end upgrading my program to the legacy one because I was ready to take on this path and I felt like this team was gonna be the team to get me there. For me specifically, I don't feel there was anything that was gonna hold me back from doing this program. The way I looked at it was this was a small drop in the bucket for an investment financial perspective for potentially lifelong reward. My journey in health with the Living Proof Institute, for me specifically has been phenomenal. I saw tremendous results in my sleep and not just my sleep but my overall health. The approach for Living Proof that's been different for me in the past is like they specifically want to know what works for you and what doesn't. And I think it's easy in the health industry to paint everybody with the same brush, you should eat this way, you should exercise, you should do this and there's so many factors that they don't factor in like hormones, age, things that are going on, your sensitivities, your inflammation. I think the thing that surprised me the most about Living Proof and the program itself was they stuck to what they said they were going to do, they responded to my questions, they supported me through process of the six weeks. It wasn't you're on your own, figure it out, you could ask questions at any time and they had your back. Because of Living Proof Institute I now look at health in a completely different perspective. I look at my whole body, what kind of things am I putting into my body? What works for me? I look at light and hormones and how proper lighting is going to support your overall hormone health and proper production at the right days or at the right times of day and the release of those hormones to support better sleep, the learning has been absolutely outstanding. What I'm able to do now versus before working with the Living Proof Institute is personally I don't know what happened in the program but something switched in my brain and I look at food completely different, I look at it from a nourishing my body standpoint from a, I want to feel good standpoint not potentially a prior food addiction mentality that I have had in the past. The main reason I would recommend the Living Proof Institute to others is you're going to get more than you're asking. Given that you're ready to commit to yourself and the process you will see the results and you've got the team to support you. I would love to give a shout out to the whole crew. I think, I mean without Sachin and my original consults and his beautiful wife Deepa and her loving support through the program and then their coaches that are here to help you. I think the biggest thing for me is my mindset likely wouldn't have shifted. I'm scared to think what it would look like if I hadn't done the program, my life is transformed. My name is Amanda Portman and I currently live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
