The interview
What was your health like before working with the Vitality team?
Before working with the Vitality team, I was very toxic, very sick. I had diabetes. My numbers were, like, up in three, four hundreds. I was just so sick. I was sleeping where I couldn't wake up sometimes. My husband was concerned. I'm getting close to 60 and I have grandkids.
How did Dr. Karney approach your treatment differently than traditional doctors?
She was so supportive and didn't say, we need to give you more medication. She said we can do these things, and we can detoxify your body and also get you away from these medications eventually.
What specific dietary changes did you make during your initial phase?
In my initial interview we cut out sugar. Even my coffee was hard because I couldn't put anything in my coffee.
How would you describe the staff and atmosphere at the clinic?
All the way from the receptionists to the nurses in there you know their hearts are in it to make you better. They can see when you go in there and maybe you're struggling. And they also see when you have victory, and they celebrate with you. Such a different way of just going to the doctor.
What are the most significant physical results you have seen?
I never thought I would be where I'm at today. I knew when I went into this that I needed to lose weight because I was 246 pounds now I am 190. I went from like a four x and now I'm like in a large. I have energy.
How has your daily life and energy levels changed?
Before I started seeing the Vitality group, I didn't have the energy. I would press myself. Now I don't have to press myself. I am full of energy and I'm so excited about the toxicity scores. When I'm with my grandkids before, I would take them outside and I was sitting in a chair. If I got up, I was like, out of breath. I'm not like that anymore.
Why would you recommend Dr. Karney and her team to others?
I would recommend the Vitality group because everybody needs a cheerleader or somebody to support them when you're going through something like sickness. Once she takes you as a patient, you are part of that group. I love that Dr. Karney and her team go to seminars to learn how to help their patients even more.
