The interview
Can you introduce yourself and your background?
My name is Maureen Thoma and I live in Florida on Sanibel Island. I'm originally from Michigan, but I've been down here for about 20 years. And I'm a retired educator and a grandma, so I spend a lot of time with my grandkids.
What health challenges were you facing before starting the program?
I had gut issues and digestive issues and diarrhea for probably about seven years on and off. Most of my life, actually, but the last seven years were really bad. Stress has been an issue; I also became a widow two years ago, and that was a big part of, I'm sure, all the stress and everything.
What attracted you to Urban Monk Productions specifically?
The thing that attracted me the most was that there was more one-on-one than in any other program. Some of them I had to do basically online myself. I also liked that all the supplements came in packets, so I didn't have to figure out which ones to take when. I really appreciated all the details as to which ones I was taking and why.
What specific improvements have you noticed in your health after five months?
I'm amazed that I haven't had, I probably can count in one hand in five months how much time I've had diarrhea. And that's been my major concern. There's been a lot less pain and a lot less running to the bathroom all the time. I've noticed lately that I'm handling things a little better. I don't feel super exhausted right now.
How has this transformation changed your daily life and family time?
Having my daughter and my grandson here for the last four days, I felt like I could handle it a lot better than like two years ago. I feel like I'm having more fun instead of worrying about what I eat and am I near a bathroom. I still have to figure that out sometimes, but not as frequently as before.
What is your final verdict on the program's value?
I took the leap of faith. It was an expense that I feel like now was worth it. I'm anticipating that there's still more to come because I don't think I'm done with this. But I would say it's been the best that I've tried in the last seven years.
