The interview
What was your life like before the Living Proof Institute?
My life before the Living Proof Institute was successful, fulfilled, and happy. What I learned was I didn't know what I didn't know. I didn't know I wasn't sleeping well, I didn't know I was way overweight, and I didn't know how good I could feel.
What made you say yes to working with them?
What made me say yes was a mutual relationship that I had with Sachin through a dear friend who I trust. I was searching for someone who could provide trustworthy preventive care.
Was there anything that made you hesitant to get started?
If there was anything that made me hesitant, it would be not knowing all the things that I would need to do.
How has your journey and health been since starting?
It has been life changing. I have lost 30 pounds. I didn't know I wasn't sleeping; I had like 15 minutes of REM sleep every night, and now I have about 2 hours. I've tried everything in my entire life and nothing has worked like this.
How is their approach different from what you've tried in the past?
Their approach is different because there's a preparation. I read it, I watched a video, and then I met with them. I needed to hear it three times because this is an interruption of 59 years. They use at-home tests for inflammatory issues, gut issues, and genetics to put the things I should eat and not eat in front of me.
What surprised you the most about the experience?
What surprised me the most was how easy it was. Many profound things that maybe I was dreading were actually transformative in that I was able to really enjoy cooking and create a whole new hobby. I'm now 60 and I've never been this healthy or vibrant.
How has this impacted your daily life and mental state?
I find myself operating at a whole another level and a sense of peace that I have is something that I've never experienced before. I wake up fresh, clear, no fog, straight as an arrow, like ready to go. My joints feel better and my mobility is so much better.
Who else has benefited from you being on this program?
Number one, my wife—she is now doing the program. Number two, my son. Number three, my community of people in dentistry. We're going to bring this to all of dentistry because I believe the mouth is the gateway to whole body health.
Frequently asked
What are the requirements and time commitments for the Living Proof Institute program?
Gary Kadi was initially hesitant because he did not know all the specific tasks he would need to perform. However, he found the process surprisingly easy once he started, even discovering a new hobby in healthy cooking.
Does the Living Proof Institute help with sleep quality and brain fog?
Yes, Gary Kadi reported that his REM sleep improved from 15 minutes to 2 hours per night. He noted that this change 'washed' his brain of toxins, leaving him feeling fresh, clear, and without fog each morning.
How does Living Proof Institute compare to diets like Keto or Paleo?
Gary found their approach superior because it uses at-home testing for genetics and gut issues to determine exactly what an individual should eat. He stated he no longer has to follow 'fad things' like keto or paleo because his metabolism is reset.
