The interview

What was your primary struggle before finding Living Light?

Most of my life, my struggle has been my weight. I've been on just about every diet—you name it, I've probably tried it. Prior to Living Light, I was taking GLP-1 things because I had high blood sugar and was getting into the pre-diabetic range, which I didn't want because my father died from type two diabetes.

How did you first hear about the program?

We attended a couples retreat where Sachin and Deepa were present. The leaders of the retreat had done the metabolic reset and were extolling its virtues, saying they had more energy and felt better than they had in many years.

What kind of testing and data does the program provide?

It's a comprehensive program; they test everything. You get a saliva test, a blood test, and I even did a stool sample. I found out things I had no idea about regarding how my body functions. Figuring out the right diet for me as a result of the DNA test, it turns out the best diet for my body is a paleo diet.

What physical changes did you notice during the 10-week reset?

I lost additional weight that I didn't think I needed to lose—I didn't know this body existed under that. I lost over three inches off my waist. Also, minor annoying things like arthritis in my hands, sinus headaches, itchy skin, and restless legs at night are starting to go away and are noticeably better.

How has your sleep changed since starting the program?

One of the biggest improvements is in my sleep. I would often wake up in the middle of the night with sinus headaches or restless legs and not be able to get back to sleep. I recognized that I'm not dreading going to bed like I used to. They give you an Oura Ring to measure and quantify the sleep, which is great data.

What would you say to someone considering joining Living Light?

I think you should ask yourself, 'What could my life be like if I found ways to improve it in ways I didn't even dream I could?' Ask yourself what if you didn't do that and stayed the way you are for another twenty or thirty years. Which would you rather have: the same, or something much better?

Frequently asked

Is the Living Light program just another standard diet?

Ral West found it to be a comprehensive program that goes beyond dieting by using saliva, blood, and stool tests to understand individual body function. She discovered her body specifically requires a paleo diet through their DNA testing.

Can Living Light help with sleep issues and restless legs?

Yes, Ral West reported that her restless legs and sinus headaches, which previously made her dread going to bed, started going away during the program. She now uses an Oura Ring provided by the program to quantify her improved sleep quality.

How does Living Light compare to GLP-1 medications for weight loss?

While Ral previously used GLP-1s for high blood sugar, she found the Living Light 10-week metabolic reset lost weight faster and felt more permanent because it addressed her specific DNA and lifestyle facets.

Full transcript

Most of my life, my struggle has been my weight. I found Living Light and through their program, I lost additional weight that I didn't think I needed to lose. I didn't know this body existed under that, so that's been kind of a bonus. As I joined the program just to maximize my health, I was very healthy, but I had some minor little annoying things like I have arthritis in my hands and sinus headaches, itchy skin here and there, and restless legs at night. And in the process of doing the metabolic reset over the past weeks, those issues are starting to go away. They're noticeably better. [gentle music] Hello, I'm Ral West. I live in Sitka, Alaska, and I'm a serial entrepreneur, have been for forty-five years. Being healthy is very important to me because I have four grandchildren and I want to be around for a long, long time. I've been a seeker of longevity and good health for several years. I'm in what people would call the winter phase of my life, although I plan on having a really, really long winter. As far as dieting goes, throughout my life I've been on like just about every diet. You name it, I've probably tried it. And the thing that worked best for me prior to Living Light was just taking the GLP-1 things because I tended to have high blood sugar and I was getting into the pre-diabetic range, and I didn't want that. My father had type two diabetes late in his life, and that's what actually killed him. And so when I see these numbers creeping into that pre-diabetic range, I went, "No, no, no. No, no, no. We're not, we're not doing that. We're not going there." So now I think that the diet that we did for the ten weeks of the metabolic reset certainly lost the weight faster, hopefully more permanently. I think that it's a comprehensive program. It's not just about... They test everything. You get a saliva test, a blood test. I even did a stool sample. That was a lot of fun. And found out things that I just had no idea that this was the way my body functions. So much information, and it takes a while to absorb it, but figuring out the right diet for me as a result of the DNA test, turns out the best diet for my body is a paleo diet. Like, who knew? There's just lots of information that helps with everything from sleep to exercise to stress. You know, all the facets of a healthy lifestyle is covered. We attended a couples retreat. Sachin and Deepa were there, so we met them, we got to know them, learned about their program, and the leaders of the couples retreat had done the metabolic reset and were extolling its virtues. They said they just have more energy and feel better than they had in many, many years, and that appealed to me. After starting the program, it was surprising how little I could eat and feel okay. The quantities were measured and, you know, counted. And then as I started to drop weight that, as I said, I didn't really think I needed to lose, I was like, "Whoa, what's going on here?" I lost over three inches off my waist. And I think one of the biggest improvements that I've noticed is in my sleep. I would often wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to get back to sleep. I'd get sinus headaches in the middle of the night. I'd get restless legs. So I recognized that I'm not dreading going to bed like I used to. And now my sleep is still not perfect. They give you an Oura Ring, so I'm using that to measure and quantify and qualify my sleeps, which is great data. So I'd say, you know, overall the quality of life is better. If you're thinking about joining Living Light, I think you should ask yourself, "What could my life be like if I found ways to improve it in ways I didn't even dream I could?" Ask yourself, what if you didn't do that? What if you stayed the way you are for another twenty or thirty years? Ask yourself which you'd rather have, same or something much better? [gentle music]
