The interview
What was your life like before working with Dr. Karney?
Six months ago I was suffering from brain fog. I couldn't sleep. My energy was in the basement. My life felt out of control. I was finding it hard to meet all of my responsibilities every day. It was just hard to be a mom, hard to be a wife, hard to be a pastor.
What made you decide to work with the Vitality Renewal team?
Immediately I felt a connection with Dr. Karney. She listened to what I was experiencing. She didn't pressure me but really talked about some solutions that she thought that would work for me. I felt like there was a group of people that I could trust to help me get to the place where I needed to be.
Were there any barriers that almost prevented you from joining?
If there was something that would have prevented me from getting involved in the program, it would have been the cost. It's hard to invest in yourself. As a pastor, I don't make a lot of money. And so that was a real barrier for me but being at a low place in my energy, I just kind of filled with hope that even with the cost, it might be worth it.
What surprised you most about the program?
Number one, I felt like the team really listened to what was going on. They took important measurements and knew what was going on with me physically from results of different tests and blood work. But then on the other side of that, I saw immediate results.
How has your life changed since starting the program?
I feel so much better. I've lost twelve pounds. I am sleeping. My energy is off the charts. And my brain fog is literally gone. I'm doing things differently every single day and I'm enjoying it. It hasn't been a big burden; I've been excited to do the things I'm doing because my energy level is higher.
Why would you recommend Dr. Karney and her team?
I would recommend them because of the way the team gets to know you. Everyone is different and unique, and they formulated a program specifically tailored to me. Also, I got immediate results that made me feel so much better. I feel like a different person.
