I’m continuing to share the various wonderful experiences my valued participants gained in “Kız Gibi” [Like a Girl].

E.Z.G.

How was the program for you? How did it help you?

The program helped me far more than I expected. I wish I could have learned this knowledge earlier. I’m 47 years old, and there’s no place I haven’t gone for years trying to lose weight. I’m one of those people fond of food, especially sweets. I’d always keep a diet up for a few weeks and then quit. I’d always blame myself, keep getting angry at myself saying “you couldn’t control yourself again, you have no willpower.” I never took hormones into account at all.

Your program greatly changed my perspective on losing weight. Thanks to your program and what you taught, I understand very well now. Thanks to the program, I’m at the beginning of a very good path. Thank you so much, thanks to you.

You explain how what we eat affects our hormones and our quality of life so beautifully and comprehensively that a person ends up applying it willingly and lovingly, not because they’re forced or have to. This was the most important and, I could say, radical change for me. I understand much better now why I sometimes crave sweets or carbs like crazy. Once I approached it with this kind of awareness, everything became so much easier.

What physical, informational, and behavioral changes do you notice in yourself over this one month?

I sleep much better and wake up much better. The bloated feeling disappeared. My clothes fit more comfortably now. I’ve become much more positive. My hair is shinier and softer than it’s ever been — honestly I’m quite surprised by this myself, and very happy.

Turns out I didn’t know at all the things I thought I knew. Progressing on the path toward menopause, I couldn’t have learned this much knowledge this properly and systematically even if I’d read pages and pages of books. I realized how wrong so many things I thought were right actually were.

Once I cut packaged products and refined sugar out of my life, I started spending much more time in the kitchen. I eat meals I make and prepare myself. At lunch at work, I stopped taking rice and pasta alongside meals. I prefer salad instead.

Anything you’d like to add…

Bless you, thank you for existing, Sema Hanım. Bless your effort. The broadcasts you do, the emails you write every day, the documents you send… You explain everything so sincerely and carefully that all I can say is: Wonderful!

Every woman of every age should join this program. They will absolutely not regret it, and in the end they’ll say “I wish I’d learned all of this earlier.”

How was the program for you? How did it help you?

“Kız Gibi” isn’t a nutrition program. It’s a program for a woman to fully understand herself. The effect of hormones on our body and psychology, nutrition, exercise, meditation… With a constant flow of information, understanding why you do certain things, and sometimes ways to get out of situations where you feel stuck. Joining this program was the best thing I’ve ever done for myself in my life.

What physical, informational, and behavioral changes do you notice in yourself over this one month?

For the first time in my life, I had no pain during my period. Especially in the jaw area, I had no breakouts at all. Again, I had no headache during or before my period. My skin is more radiant. I’m more energetic physically. I feel better psychologically too. I don’t have the sudden irritability I used to have.

Anything you’d like to add…

Sema Hanım, I’m so glad I joined your program. I still haven’t fully incorporated exercise and meditation into my life, but I’m already very pleased with the results. Thank you so much for everything.

B.Ö.

How was the program for you? How did it help you?

First of all, my reason for wanting to join the program was that I thought living according to my hormonal cycle would make me feel much more productive. I’ve always been interested in eating well and clean. This program addressing the topic from a broad perspective, from nutrition to lifestyle, satisfied me deeply both as a physician and as a woman. Sema Hanım has approached living according to hormones with great care, from so many angles.

What physical, informational, and behavioral changes do you notice in yourself over this one month?

I knew this program wasn’t a weight-loss or diet program, but I still took my measurements out of curiosity about “will I lose fat?” In the first 10 days I lost 2 kg of fat and my lower belly bloating decreased. Then I realized dairy products and gluten don’t do me any good at all. My PMS intolerance calmed down. I stopped being harsh on myself on days I had no energy, because I gained the awareness that my body needed calm. For people who have to live actively, gaining this awareness alone is valuable. I’m someone who’s very hard on myself regarding nutrition and lifestyle too. Feeling like I’m eating clean and, most importantly, being able to feel full gave me peace, I could say. In fact, the freedom to occasionally eat a square of dark chocolate was the cherry on top of the cake.

Anything you’d like to add…

It’s clear a lot of effort went into this program, bless your hands, Sema Hanım.

How was the program for you? How did it help you?

It was a program that illuminated my mind, lit the way for my path. For me, the program’s essence was finding answers to the questions “what does a woman’s body and soul want, what does it good?” Finding answers to the questions “what am I experiencing? Why am I experiencing this? What can be done during this period?” and respecting that moment is both a very motivating and very satisfying, happiness-giving feeling.

What physical, informational, and behavioral changes do you notice in yourself over this one month?

Since I came from the DKYY training, I’d already adapted eating habits into my life, so I didn’t struggle. On top of this, I added to my understanding of my body and hormones. I got to know my hormones, understood that the feelings I experience and my body’s reactions are natural, and I’m much more conscious now. I’m in the perimenopause process, and this training and your support helped me understand and accept the process, and focus on things that will do me good going forward. As my awareness increased, my feeling of safety increased too. I incorporated meditation and self-compassion into my life. The sentences “did we slip up once, is everything over? No, continue from where we left off! Take yourself by the hand, take good care of yourself, you’re the one who’ll take the best care of you!” are always in my mind. I feel much more valuable now.

Anything you’d like to add…

It’s such a multifaceted and rich program that I feel very lucky to have received this kind of training. I really wish I’d learned this knowledge at a younger age. I hope thanks to you this awareness grows and all women reach this training at a younger age. I tell everyone around me about this program and try to motivate them to join 🙂

I’m so glad I took this training. I recommend it to all women. Thank you so much, Sema Hanım, for sharing such rich knowledge — the very essence of a woman’s life — with us, for your never-ending determination, patience, and support. I’m so glad my path crossed with yours, so glad you exist…

G.F.

How was the program for you? How did it help you?

The program was wonderful. First of all, I learned how much some changes in my body that I couldn’t make sense of (PMS, extreme sweet cravings, constant anxiety) were related to my hormones. Also, understanding how female reproductive hormones relate not just to the menstrual cycle but to the whole system helped me a lot.

What physical, informational, and behavioral changes do you notice in yourself over this one month?

I started the program with unresolved PCOS complaints. My menstrual cycle hasn’t fully returned yet, but my complaints have decreased. Once the program started, I no longer constantly feel hungry, and my extreme sweet craving has almost completely disappeared 🙂 My anxiety attacks decreased. I probably had reflux and constipation complaints related to nutrition. I haven’t had reflux at all this past month, and my bowels got into a routine too. My stomach pains decreased. I feel more energetic and happier.

Anything you’d like to add…

Thank you so, so much for everything. I wish the doctors I’ve gone to with various complaints over the years could have evaluated me a bit more holistically instead of just treating symptoms and trying to get through the day. Also, even though I haven’t checked all the boxes yet, thanks to you I understood much better that I need to treat myself well. Thank you for reminding me of this. I’m so glad you exist.

Ö.O.

How was the program for you? How did it help you?

Knowing that I’m eating clean affected me very positively psychologically. I was so impressed by the information you gave that, especially packaged foods and ready-made meals literally feel like trash to me now. Normally when hungry I’d eat something to get by, and afterward a deep feeling of guilt would start. Now, when I get hungry, eating a bowl of salad or sautéing zucchini feels both satisfying and doesn’t make me feel guilty.

What physical, informational, and behavioral changes do you notice in yourself over this one month?

Stomach pain, burning, bloating all zeroed out. Especially not having bloating at all is wonderful.

Anything you’d like to add…

Since I lived abroad throughout the whole program, I followed it through the recordings due to the time difference. My advice to everyone: don’t miss the broadcasts. Thanks to your positivity and your reminders like “catch up from somewhere no matter what,” I never disconnected from the program at all. Applying your creative recipes was very enjoyable. I never felt restricted at all.

Ö.Ö.E.

How was the program for you? How did it help you?

I loved this conscious, scientific, meticulous nutrition program that shelves the routine, restrictive eating styles that involve the same cycle, for women’s health. As a physician, it came as a wonderful gift both for me and for my patients. Thank you so much.

What physical, informational, and behavioral changes do you notice in yourself over this one month?

I lost 2 kilos. Knowing what to do and how felt quite reassuring. It’s such a finely and meticulously prepared, educational process that the daily emails were quite enjoyable in terms of motivation.

S.Ö.

How was the program for you? How did it help you?

The program is very good, contains quite wonderful knowledge. I now have a lot of information on this topic and can apply it whenever I want.

What physical, informational, and behavioral changes do you notice in yourself over this one month?

A lot changed in terms of knowledge, and I’m more conscious now. I’m also helping people around me. I try to explain what’s right and wrong. Thank you so much, Sema Hanım 🙏

Thank you to you. You’re very sincere, warm, and dedicated 🙏🥰😘
