Follow-up questions they answered
- Are weight loss results from Living Light sustainable compared to keto or Weight Watchers?

- What kind of support does the Living Light program provide?
- The program includes a dedicated coach, like Nikki, who provides encouragement via an app, phone, and meetings. Participants also receive hardware tools including a body scale and an Oura Ring to track health data and gain personal insights. — Tina Grantham
