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. I didn't know how good I could feel.

What made you say yes to Living Proof Institute?

What made me say yes was a mutual relationship that I had with Sachin with a dear friend who I trust. And 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 to get started with them would be not knowing all the things that I would need to do.

How has your health journey been with the institute?

My journey and my health with the Living Proof Institute 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. 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. Also, having a coach to guide you through the process, reset your metabolism, and having at-home tests for inflammatory issues, for gut issues, and really understanding how my genetics have a play in all of it.

What surprised you the most about the program?

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 and get creative and make yummy foods.

How do you feel now at age 60?

I'm now 60 and I've never been this healthy. Never been this vibrant. I found myself operating at a whole another level and a sense of peace that I have is something that I've never experienced before. I'm off the charts physically healthy right now.

Who else has benefited from you being on this program?

Number one, my wife—now my wife's doing the program. Number two, my son. Number three, my community of people in dentistry that have adopted this thinking. 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 makes someone hesitant to start with Living Proof Institute?

Gary Kadi noted that his primary hesitation was not knowing all the specific tasks and lifestyle changes he would need to implement. However, he found the process surprisingly easy once he began, even turning healthy cooking into a new hobby.

How does Living Proof Institute differ from diets like Keto or Paleo?

According to Gary, the approach is different because it uses at-home tests for inflammatory issues and genetics to determine exactly what an individual should eat. This allowed him to stop following 'fad' diets and let his body function naturally.

Can Living Proof Institute help with mental clarity and brain fog?

Yes, Gary reported that by fixing his sleep and flushing toxins through better REM cycles, he now wakes up fresh and clear with 'no fog.' He describes his current mental state as being 'straight as an arrow' and ready to go.

Full transcript

My life before the Living Proof Institute was successful. Fulfilled, happy, What I learned was I didn't know what I didn't know. Didn't know I wasn't sleeping well. I didn't know I was way overweight. I didn't know how good I could feel. What made me say yes to Living Proof Institute was mutual relationship that I had with Sachin with a dear friend who I trust. And I was searching for someone who could provide trustworthy preventive care. If there was anything that made me hesitant to get started with them would be, is not knowing all the things that I would need to do. My journey and my health with the Living Proof Institute 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. Now I have about 2 hours. I've tried everything in my entire life and nothing has worked like this. Their approach is different from what I've tried in the past because there's a preparation. I read it, I watched a video. And then I met with them. So I needed it to hear it three times because this is an interruption of 59 years. What surprised me the most about the Living Proof Institute 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 and get creative and make yummy foods and know that it's helping. And now my wife's doing the program, so it's really going to go over the top. I now look at living and health as an important aspect of being in the world. I'm now 60 and I've never been this healthy. Never been this vibrant. I found myself operating at a whole another level and a sense of peace that I have is something that I've never experienced before. What I'm able to do now, working with the Living Proof Institute, is something really profound on so many levels. I really break my health down into five areas. So first is my physical health. I'm off the charts physically healthy right now. Financially healthy because I could do so much more and create so much more than I could before. Socially, I'm so much more connected to all things. I got connected to food, I got connected to cooking. I'm connected to my wife. I found myself much more present because I'm much more connected. My mental I didn't realize sleeping can wash your brain if you get enough REM sleep at night. I didn't know that my brain had toxins and all kinds of stuff going on because it didn't get the rest it needed and the time needed to flush itself every night. Now I wake up fresh, clear, no fog, straight as an arrow, like ready to go. And then I just feel like I'm connected to my spiritual health in a way that I never did before. So it's really hitting those five domains. If you've been trying to figure out health on your own, having a coach to guide you through the process reset your metabolism, which resets your body, which resets your thinking, and then having at home tests for inflammatory issues, for gut issues and really understanding how my genetics have a play in all of it, then putting the things I should eat and not eat. And then it just becomes simple. I don't have to go on to the next fad thing of the keto and the paleo and all that stuff, I just can let my body do what my body does. I mean, first, you know, Dipa for her book, Sachin for his magic and teaching me how to breathe and be patient with me and really educate me, take the time. And Alice, who is just a dear, like when I was stuck, she gave me some tools and when I plateaued, she's just, the next day everything opened up. And I also want to acknowledge Devin, who was Sachin and Deepa's son, who's like, I watch and I get moved. I've watched, parenting happen with Sachin and Dipa and the impact that it has on the next generation. And for me, I get really moved by that. And he's such a beautiful young man and it's because of his trust in the safe space that his parents create for him and the access to really good wisdom so that he could live a full life in the world. And I'm really touched by that. Who else benefited from me being on this program is, number one, my wife, number two, my son. Number three, my community of people in dentistry that have adopted this thinking. And we're going to bring this to all of dentistry because I believe that the mouth is the gateway to whole body health. And dentists were only taking care of the mouth now through this program, they're going to be able to take care of the whole body health of an individual. I really believe I have a shot at living to 100. And My joints feel better I'm a cyclist. I want to cycle around the world. My mobility is so much better. I don't have to carry around 30 extra pounds. You don't realize the impact that those things have until you don't have them anymore. Then you can see the impact that this program has.
