The interview

What was your health situation before starting the program?

I worked out regularly but I didn't really have any results that I was looking for because it was on a deeper level like health-wise, gut health and food. I thought I was doing the right things but it wasn't what my body actually needed.

Why did you decide to join the Living Proof Institute?

I have a few of my friends that went through the program and they had amazing results, just feeling a lot better, more energy, better sleep and losing weight. Because I saw their actual results, I wanted to do it as well.

What was your experience with the meal plan and process?

It was actually a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. I thought cutting out sugars and things like that was going to be really hard, but the meal plan was actually very satiating. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

What specific results have you noticed?

I lost the weight that I wanted, had way more energy and mental clarity. I used to need a couple coffees throughout the day, but now I have energy for work. I feel like my hormones are balancing out and my skin is getting better.

What was the most important part of the program for you?

Getting all the tests done, like the blood test and the gut health, and actually knowing what's specific to me. Other personal trainers or nutritionists were very cookie-cutter. I found out what I thought were health foods were actually damaging to my gut health.

What surprised you most about the Living Proof Institute?

Just how simple it is. And how simple but effective the results were as well. I always thought it was going to be this hard process where you're stuck trying to figure it out, but now it's just how I live my life.

What was it like working with the team?

I absolutely love working with Dipa. I met Sachin the first time as well and they were just on the ball, following up and checking in with where I was at. Having them stick on it and checking in from time to time was huge.

Frequently asked

Is the Living Proof Institute diet plan difficult to follow?

Lina Stadler initially worried that eating less and cutting sugar would be hard, but she found the meal plan to be very satiating. She described the process as much easier than she anticipated and now considers it her permanent way of living.

How does Living Proof Institute differ from a personal trainer or dietitian?

Lina noted that previous professionals gave her 'cookie-cutter' advice that didn't work for her body. Living Proof Institute used specific blood and gut health tests to identify which 'health foods' were actually damaging her system, providing a personalized roadmap.

Is the Living Proof Institute worth the investment?

Lina considers the program a vital investment in her health, stating that she had tried many other dietitians and programs without success. She believes the internal shift achieved through their testing is what finally allowed her to achieve her goals.

Full transcript

I would say I was I worked out regularly but I didn't really have any results that I was looking for and because it was on a deeper level like health-wise, right. Like gut health and just like food and all that kind of stuff. So I didn't really know what I was supposed to be doing. I did I was thought doing the right things but it wasn't what my body actually needed. Hi, my name is Lina and I'm from Toronto. I have a few of my friends that went through the program and they had amazing results. and just like feeling a lot better, more energy, better sleep and losing weight. So, because a few of my friends went through the process and I saw their actual results, I wanted to do it as well. It was actually a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. Eating a lot less and cutting out sugars and things like that so I thought it was going to be really hard. But the meal plan and all that was actually very satiating and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Then I noticed, like, I lost the weight that I wanted, just had way more energy, mental clarity, energy just for work because usually I need a couple coffees throughout the day. I feel like my hormones are balancing out, my skin's getting better. Lots of positive results. I think it was getting all the tests done. Like, getting the blood test done and like the gut health and actually knowing what's specific to me. Like personal trainers or nutritionists that I would meet with it, it was very cookie-cutter, what they would give everybody else. And what I thought were health foods, some of them were actually damaging to my gut health. And so, getting those tests done and knowing, on a deeper level, what's actually good and what my body responded badly to, was really important, I think. What surprised me the most about Living Proof Institute would be... just how simple it is. And how simple but effective the results were as well. I always thought it was going to be this hard process and you're you're kind of stuck trying to figure it out and now it's kind of how I eat and it's kind of how I just live my life now. Because of the Living Proof Institute, the way I look at health and healing is just very different now. If need to get back to the basics or I'm getting off track, I know exactly the foods I need to be eating, I know exactly how to get back into feeling great again. So it's given me the tools to be able to be sustainable throughout my life. The main reason I would recommend it is, just how amazing you feel and it being just a very simple process to weight-loss. We're just having that mental clarity, understanding the foods - especially getting the different tests done, I think, really is important for people so it's not a cookie- cutter approach. Yes, I absolutely love working with Dipa. I met Sachin the first time as well and they were just, on the ball, they were just following up, checking in with where I was at. I think many people fall off the wagon pretty quickly, with any goals and so having them just stick on it and really just checking in from time to time was huge. I would still be kind of lost. Just trying to go to the gym and still be back and forth and not achieving my goals. I would highly recommend this to everybody because it's an investment but our health is one of the most important things and I think that we should be investing in our health. I've tried so many different things, I've tried dietitians, the programs, and personal trainers, and nothing gave me the results that this program did. So, I encourage people to get the tests done, understand what your hormones look like and your gut health and all that stuff because that stuff matters. And that's what's going to - from inside out - help you shift your life.
