Y.E.K.

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

The program was eye-opening for me. Just like we discussed in the first livestream, I’m telling all the women around me what I learned 🙂 It helped me understand my body and cycle, and learn how my hormones function and their rhythm. None of this was information I already knew or had heard. Also, even though I wasn’t a stranger to clean eating, elimination etc. (even though, as Sema Hanım puts it, I don’t come from pasta or chip waterfalls), I learned to do macro calculations and the real reasons behind portion control. Also, since eating according to the cycle involves 2 different eating styles within 1 month, it’s much less boring compared to other eating types, and I think more sustainable. For example, when I crave something sweet during ketobiotic phase, I tell myself, “in 5 days you’ll transition to the hormone celebration phase, we’ll eat a healthy alternative of this then. Don’t break it now” 🙂 And truly, my slip-up count is fewer and more balanced compared to other times.

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

First of all, understanding my cycle increased my self-compassion. This is the most important change for me. I know the reasons behind the changes in my body, and I learned I shouldn’t get angry at myself for my emotional and physical struggles, or expect the same performance from myself every day of the month. Coincidentally, the program started on the first day of my period, so I completed the 1-month eating plan and got my period exactly 28 days later (never usually this regular). Along with this, my PMS period passed very comfortably. I experienced less bloating, less fatigue, less mood swings. The pain I usually get in the first two days of every period was almost imperceptible this time, and my period passed much lighter, much more “without noticing.” I’m very, very happy 🙂

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

Thank you so, so much for planning a training like this and bringing us together, for your effort and lovely energy. For myself, this has been the training I’ve joined so far that impacted me the most. When I saw the training announcement, I applied blindly without hesitation, and I haven’t regretted that decision for even a moment. My only negative feeling is the sadness of it being over 🙂 Thanks again so much, love..

F.O.K.

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

It was wonderful. I learned many new things and started applying them. What Sema Hanım’s husband said also gave me strength. I feel healthier.

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

Physically I slimmed down, my digestive system relaxed a lot and started working properly. I learned a lot about hormones and their effects on me. I now know what, when, and how I need to eat. Behaviorally, I learned to ignore societal pressure and prioritize myself.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

Thank you so much for everything. May life always bring you happiness. May no stone ever touch your foot. What you’ve given me is incredible.

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

Dear Sema Hanım, I’m so happy to have joined the program. I’ve transitioned into menopause in my life and am going through a very turbulent process. First of all, I felt I wasn’t alone in this process. This is very valuable for me. Your program taught me I need to look at what I’m experiencing holistically. My worries decreased. Now I have a great power in my hands that will let me get through the menopause process most productively — that’s your program. The dozens of documents you shared and the language you use in your livestreams are very understandable. I want to note this too.

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

As I became aware of my monthly cycles and started applying the recipes you gave, my belief that I could succeed increased first of all. For example, thanks to you I’ve completely removed sugar from my life. My digestive system relaxed in a short time. I’m experiencing a noticeable decrease in joint pain. I couldn’t have predicted I’d get such wonderful results in such a short time. I learned through your program how effective stress hormones are during menopause. Now I try to give as much attention to my stress management as to my eating.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

Dear Sema Hanım, thank you so, so much to you and Tuğçe Hanım for your effort and the knowledge you gave. Thanks to you, my awareness about the process I’m going through increased. In light of the valuable knowledge you gave, my life has started getting easier and I’ve started enjoying the process. I’m so glad you exist. May your path be clear, I’m always following.

F.Ö.

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

It was a very informative, very illuminating program for me. Even though the content was very rich and dense, thanks to the information documents you sent every day, I could easily follow the topics. I think I understood the logic of the matter. I learned where to start and how to sustain it. Healthy eating was already an area of interest for me, and knowledge on stress management, exercise, sleep, toxins etc. was added on top of that. Thanks to the training content being prepared so systematically and your enjoyable delivery, I could say I had a revelation 🙂

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

It was truly a program prepared with care, with very rich and enjoyable content. Thank you to you and Tuğçe Hanım. Also thanks again for your naturalness, sincerity, and heartfelt delivery.

N.K.

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

This program was one full of awareness that helped me make sense of the female body. The knowledge given to us was very valuable. Adjusting my eating according to my monthly cycle made me feel really good. Eating, exercising, working out, and meditating with awareness of my cycle enabled me to have a very productive month.

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

As someone who suffers a lot of period pain, the first month passed lighter compared to other times. This was wonderful for me. Learning to live in harmony with my hormones developed me a lot. Building an exercise cycle according to my hormone cycle, allowing myself some ease during the calm phase, felt really good.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

Sema Hanım, I love you so much. Your approach, your understanding, are very sincere. The knowledge you give isn’t complicated and is easy to apply, doesn’t cause stress. I love how your recipes are accessible and easy to make. I follow you fondly.

G.P.Y.

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

I really liked the program’s content. Being this close to my own body and learning good and bad within a cause-and-effect relationship helped me. As someone who can’t try anything without establishing a cause-and-effect relationship, I gained knowledge about what, why, and when I need to do things. It was a program that helped me.

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

I used to get headaches for no reason at all. I learned the reason behind this and my headaches are gone. I used to wake up hungry in the mornings and struggle to extend the intermittent fast. I understood why this happened and enjoyed waking up full 🙂 I discovered that when I’m truly full, my chocolate craving is gone. I discovered that living without bread is possible, and that with different, healthy recipes I could both feel full and dull my appetite. The more I take good care of myself, the happier I become. I’m 35. With the knowledge I gained from this program, my first goal is to conquer the pain in my menstrual cycle that makes me bedridden for 2 days, and the serious emotional fluctuations. I was in the calm phase when starting, and I’m still in the calm phase now. My emotional fluctuations, my aggression, decreased compared to previous periods, and I don’t experience period migraines 🙂 My real goal is to be a fit, healthy, and happy woman even at 70 🙂 Thank you for teaching healthy eating in a fun way. I also enjoy increasing my creativity in the kitchen 🙂

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

You’ve thought of everything about the program. Thank you especially for giving us options where we can flex the rules around eating, and for stating that we shouldn’t burden or stress ourselves. Sending an email every day in the early morning to keep us in the program is also a wonderful guidance method. Thank you for everything 🙂

Z.G.G.

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

The program first of all made me realize everything I’d gotten wrong and applied wrong. Everything I’d experienced in the past few years of my life pointed to estrogen dominance. Learning new information from Sema Hanım was very enjoyable again. Applying the nutrition part was easy even though I often consulted the documents you sent. Especially for someone with attention deficit like me, the summaries helped a lot. Along with the learning process, it became a program I joined with great enthusiasm.

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

As someone who’s had sleep issues since childhood, I especially can’t believe the sleep I’ve had this past week 🙂 I feel lighter and more fit. Everything I eat has started tasting much more delicious to me 🙂 My bowel movements became very regular and my bloating decreased. I’m curiously waiting to see the changes it’ll bring to what I experience in my cycle by the end of three months.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

I learned so many new things that it became one of my biggest motivations. As someone just starting my 40s, you’ve provided a resource I can constantly turn to going forward. Thank you so much to you first and foremost, and to your husband and Tuğçe Hanım. Bless your effort.

E.P.

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

I decided to change my way of life in March 2024, and I did the “3’lü Eliminasyon” twice, for 21 days each time, losing 13 kg with the added effect of exercise. Since I couldn’t continue with elimination in my life, I started “6 Santimetre” with Sema Hanım in September. This program did me a lot of good, and I added good carbs to my lists too. By the way, since I’m turning 40 this year, changes were happening in my body — mood swings, shortness of breath, hair loss, night sweats etc. I joined the “Kız Gibi” group to reduce these effects and learn more about my body. It was a very full program. Thanks to Sema Hanım’s lovely delivery and the pill-form summaries she prepared, the topics settled better, and I started looking at my body more holistically. Thank you so much.

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

I learned how my hormones work and how I can balance them. Gaining accurate knowledge about my health makes me very happy and motivates me while changing my way of life.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

Thank you so much, it was a wonderful program. I hope we meet again. Thank you so much for your lovely memories and the knowledge you gave.

E.A.

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

The program was truly very useful and inspiring for me. With its informative and educational structure, I felt I developed myself at every stage. I’m currently in my 20s and I learned knowledge I can use for a lifetime.

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

I learned new information I’ll benefit from for a lifetime and found the opportunity to understand many topics better. Behaviorally, I understood more clearly why I behave differently on certain days of my cycle. This awareness enabled me to evaluate my own emotional and behavioral reactions more consciously, which felt really good to me.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

Thank you so much 🙂

M.Ö.Ş.

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

The program was so, so productive for me. First of all, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. While saying “can life really pass with such nonsensical food, I can’t do this,” my belief that I can do it now has increased. I’m literally galloping toward the lifestyle I want but was afraid of.

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

I feel my body has gotten much lighter. My period passes with less pain. My mind is clearer — it’s as if I didn’t even know it was foggy before. My joint pain decreased.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

I’m not someone who easily trusts anyone, but I trust you. I could find information if I tried hard enough (with a lot of effort), but the hope, joy, and love of life that spreads with your energy is unique. I hope everything goes your way. Love…

D.T.

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

While thinking during the livestreams “will I remember all this?”, the program sent summaries as documents the next morning! What more could there be? Wonderfully informative!

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

I learned to say “no” to people. I learned to shift my own focus. Most importantly, I convinced myself that I’m not dieting, but eating healthily. This is a big step for me.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

My only problem right now is craving unhealthy carbs during the calm phase, but I’ll overcome this too.

Month 1 Update: As a participant of October’s “Kız Gibi” program, it’ll make me very happy to keep you updated occasionally. So I’m sending this feedback.

First of all, the stomach problems I had after meals disappeared, because I’m eating healthily. My menstrual cycle used to extend up to 35-36 days. This period dropped to 30 days. Knowing that the reason for my sweet crises was my hormones relieved me a lot, and I can now limit myself with dark chocolate or fruit. During my dieting periods there were always times I couldn’t lose weight, and I’d always end my diet after 3 weeks. I realized that trying to lose weight during the calm phase exhausts me and my body. Not obsessing over weight during this period felt really good to me. Now I know my body and we can get along! During previous periods when I did intermittent fasting, some days I could never go hungry. Again, hormone celebration periods! But going hungry during period time doesn’t exhaust me at all — on the contrary, it feels very good. Reading labels is now enjoyable because the moment I see a long label, I put it down on the shelf 🙂 With everything being simpler, cooking became even easier. I’d previously told you I have lipedema. I’ve lost about 5.5 kg since the beginning. This is a good start for me. I’m not thinking of giving up this eating pattern because I feel very comfortable.

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

Over the past year I’ve been struggling with ovarian cysts that suddenly developed and the symptoms that came with them. Alongside this, I’m living with many conditions like hypoglycemia, Hashimoto’s, chronic constipation, allergic constitution, rosacea, fibrocystic breast, joint pain, enlarged lymph nodes, and brain fog. At one point even my CA 19-9 rose. I’ve eaten healthily for many years — I don’t consume gluten or dairy, and almost everything in my kitchen is organic. As the conditions kept advancing on me, I’d get upset thinking, “I already eat healthy anyway, what more can I do?” I couldn’t quite understand what was happening or why, but something was going wrong. Honestly, I didn’t even know exactly what was causing it or where I should research. Right at that moment, this program appeared before me. When I first saw it, I wanted to sign up right away, but the first group was already full, and I managed to sign up for the second group. I thought I could learn something from this training because I was seeking a remedy. I wasn’t mistaken. My jaw dropped on the very first day of training. I was actually shocked, thinking, “how is this information not shared with all women, why don’t we know this?” As the training progressed, I couldn’t believe the reasons behind what I was experiencing, but it turned out the matter isn’t just about healthy eating — it’s about eating according to which routine, which period, and how, and I think learning this is a huge stroke of luck. I actually learned with what discipline I need to continue.

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

I started preparing my plates consciously. I learned what, how much, and in what proportion I need to eat. For example, it turns out I actually shouldn’t eat the crackers I made thinking “it’s healthy anyway” during every phase — even this was surprising information for me. And this is just the simplest thing I learned — imagine what else we learned. My perspective changed, I had a huge awakening 🙂

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

I feel very lucky to have taken this training. When people around me talk about their conditions sometimes, I genuinely feel sad inside thinking, “they don’t actually know the truth.” I think by taking this training, we’ve pulled ahead of many people in terms of knowledge and moved to a different level 🙂 I want to share everything I know. I hope everyone gains this awareness and desire and wants to benefit from this training. Bless your effort for deciding to give this training and conveying this valuable knowledge to us, Sema Hanım. I’m truly so glad you exist…

Ö.K.

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

The “Kız Gibi” program is a unique and excellent program prepared for women. I really enjoyed joining this program. It helped me understand and get to know myself. I want to enter menopause prepared, and I believe this will definitely be very useful on this front.

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

The program helped me get to know myself better. I feel lightened both emotionally and physically. I can treat myself with more compassion. I became aware of the times I need to slow down 🙂

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

I’ve eaten healthily and followed you for about four years now. I also joined your elimination program in 2021. You’ve prepared another rich and useful program once again. Bless your hands, your knowledge 🙂

Z.G.

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

I’m 40 years old, and I’m very happy to have gained knowledge about menopause and perimenopause in time. I gained knowledge about what’s happening and will happen in my body, and I also learned what I need to do during these periods. I made a lovely investment in myself.

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

I’ve been eating two meals a day for 6 years. I generally did 16-17 hours of fasting on weekdays. On weekends I didn’t fast for 2-3 days, but now I’ve learned when and how long I should fast. I realized I have a progesterone deficiency and learned what I need to do about it. Also, my protein intake was irregular. Now I’ve learned how important proper protein amounts are. I started showing myself more compassion. I’m a working mother. I’ve started not running around like a wild animal everywhere and transitioning to a calmer lifestyle.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

It was a very enjoyable program. I could say I trust Sema Hanım’s advice blindly. I was already someone dedicated to what I eat, exercise, and healthy living. Now my steps are more conscious and systematic.

G.S.K.

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

The program was a surprise for me — even I hadn’t believed in myself. Throughout my life I’ve always been interested in diet programs and exercise, and I’ve had friends around me interested in nutrition whose tactics I’d listen to, but it never had sustainability. For the first time, something settled in my mind and logic. Instead of saying “don’t eat bread,” explaining what happens when we eat bread, or instead of saying “don’t eat after 7:00 PM,” explaining what long fasting periods correspond to in the body — this made me take my eating pattern seriously first of all.

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

I was very unhappy because of perimenopause and stressed every month. Over this one-month process, I stopped getting stuck on this feeling. Physically I feel healthier. Most importantly, I constantly had symptoms of flu, cold, and headaches. Since starting the program, I haven’t experienced these symptoms. I lost the 3-4 kilos I’d gained last year very easily.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

Thank you so much for bringing awareness into my life. Bless your effort, your energy, your sincerity, and the hands that make delicious recipes. Thank you again.

N.B.Ö.

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

The program’s content contains wonderful knowledge we can easily adapt into our daily lives. It offers options that let us get our habits that need to change into order through a gentle transition. Most important for me was solving the problem I always experienced: “I’ve been eating wonderfully, cleanly for a few weeks. Now why does my heart want to bury itself in potato salads, swim in seas of gluten?” The reason turned out to be that my eating wasn’t keeping pace with my hormone changes. Learning this knowledge both relieved and enlightened me. Sema Hanım’s motivation throughout all stages of this process to always approach ourselves with compassion enabled me to always come back, even when I had some breaks in this process.

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

First of all, not experiencing any PMS symptoms at all is wonderful. I used to go through this period very tense, tired, and depressed. Additionally, my joint pain disappeared very quickly. I feel very light.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

I’ve joined many of your mentored programs. Somehow, all of them helped me exactly from the angle I needed most at that time. The depth of your knowledge and how understandable you make it while conveying it made all these processes very easy for me. Start a party, I want to vote for it 🙂 Thank you so much for every single piece of knowledge you’ve given me.

It’s time to share with you the feedback from the wonderful first “Kız Gibi” program’s very first graduates, my highly valued participants.

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

It changed my life!

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

It turns out I didn’t have a sleep problem — I had a nutrition problem!!! I, who used to wake up around 2-3 AM for no reason(!) and couldn’t fall back asleep until 5 AM once awake, now put my head on the pillow and open my eyes in the morning. Even if I wake up from any noise at home, I easily go back to sleep. Nothing could be more wonderful than this!! There’s no bloating in my body — that’s clear — but it’s as if I’d been carrying something huge and stone-like in my stomach before, and now I’ve gotten rid of that stone, leaving a feeling of emptiness and lightness. I, who used to get my period with delays varying between 2 to 5 days, got my period exactly on day 28. As if that weren’t enough, I, who used to writhe in pain at night unable to sleep, went through my period with just the tiniest bit of pelvic ache! I didn’t feel the tension and mood swings that would usually start almost 15 days before my period this month. Generally, a feeling of being more positive (I’m often in a depressive mood), calmness, and the happiness of doing something good for myself came over me. Maybe one of the most important things is that my self-confidence and belief in myself came back! The fact that my previous attempts at sugar-free eating and intermittent fasting always ended in failure had loaded me with the feeling of “I can’t succeed.” In this program I saw that I CAN succeed wonderfully. The first reason is I saw that I can do these kinds of things with a group’s company. Second, after what Sema Hanım explained, I became aware of why I couldn’t do it before. Being aware of my body’s needs, knowing “what I’m doing/wanting and why,” and now knowing that I’m taking good care of this amazing system/body given to me, is one of the most beautiful steps I’ve taken in my life. I know this is a journey, and looking forward from just the very beginning of this journey, toward the light, brightens my day. Sema Hanım, yes I know, my being mentally ready and my “time” having come also contributed to this adventure, but you and your program are one of the most beautiful things that have happened to me. I’d written to you before but I want you to know again; YOU CHANGED MY LIFE!!!

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

Sema Hanım, right now I want to kiss you!!! I’ve been thinking about emailing you for days. I was going to ask you, “could you form something like a ‘community’ in line with your programs, could we somehow stay in contact still?” And you mentioned the platform you’d created in the livestream. I said to myself, “you ask the universe, Sema Hanım makes it happen” 🙂 I might not be able to write to you much due to the time difference and my busy schedule, but I want to say I’ll be one of the frontrunners on your platform.

S.T.

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

The program started with high motivation for me, from day one, with the first live lesson. I felt a need for elimination — there was something bothering me. This program made me say, “this is it, in fact even more than that.” Its holistic nature, explaining the topic in all its aspects, offers the opportunity for more conscious application. Having thought through every detail is also very impressive. Thank you so much, Sema Hanım, for your carefully written emails, your sincere delivery in the live lessons, your answers to our questions, and your amazing energy. This is an unforgettable, long-lasting impact — bless you..

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

I never thought the transition into my period could be this easy. My first two days used to pass with headaches and cramps. There’d be cramping severe enough to restrict my movement in the mornings. A tense and aggressive mood that started a week beforehand would accompany it 🙂 I saw that I can get my period without experiencing these. This will be my biggest motivation for continuing. Absolutely worth it.

My skin brightened. Its color, its glow clearly changed, it’s radiant. My mind is wonderfully clear too 🙂 I’ve gained a conscious eating pattern, I’m very happy. Due to my job I’m very active in daily life, and throughout the program I almost never felt fatigue — my energy was very good. I had no hunger crises — normally I’d impatiently eat whatever my hand reached for, but during this process I patiently prepared my salad 🙂 You’ve offered a routine I always wanted but could never establish. I’ll continue from here 🙂

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

I’m so glad you exist, Sema Hanım — may your knowledge multiply as you share it, may your light always shine. Lots of love..

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

This program has everything a woman needs to learn about her own body, emotions, and experiences. It definitely helped a lot. I think other participants have also gone through this thought: “I wish I’d known all this earlier..”

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

I’m a woman who’s satisfied with my weight and appearance. I’ve been the same weight for years, but with menopause a number like 2 kg settled in and my waist got thicker. I’d also had a very hectic summer with alcohol — honestly, I started your program just to make my internal organs happy. I’m leaving getting exactly what I expected. In week 1 I’d lost that 2 kg. In week 2 I noticed the sinus drainage and endless morning sneezing that used to bother me in the mornings had passed (because I’d stopped eating the cheese I love so much. Milk and yogurt were already not in my life.) By week 3 I was stronger (I’ve had yoga classes twice a week for 4 years, and I can tell the change through this — the trembling in most poses disappeared :). And all this happened despite occasional slip-ups. Nighttime sleep partially improved. I again noticed that nighttime hot flashes flared up when I ate late.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

When starting the program I’d thought about continuing without telling anyone. You know how neighborhood pressure is legendary — there are people around me too who say “you’re already thin, why bother,” but at some point I found myself explaining what I’d learned to my friends. The files you sent were turned into a booklet. As you said, I’ll keep learning by reading without stressing or straining myself. Thank you so much for your sincere attitude, your delivery, your smiling face. See you soon 🙂

H.T.

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

A very lovely, knowledge-filled, practical, extremely helpful, facilitating, and motivating program. I’m so glad I didn’t miss it. My relationship with myself deepened. My awareness of my body increased. I saw I could move harmoniously with my body. We became like two friends listening to each other. This is very valuable for me. Since I’m in menopause, I tried the monthly cycle. Since I’ve been eating ketobiotic for over a year, I struggled with adjusting carbs. Honestly, I had a lot of slip-ups 🙂 I realized that the idea of consuming carbs was itself a “slip-up” idea for me. The change method that came later was a style more suitable for me and one I was quite happy with. I loved the lymphatic massage. My sleep truly deepened. I don’t even hear my husband’s snoring anymore 🙂 In short, I feel very lucky to have joined this training.

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

I had major awakenings in terms of awareness. What I knew incompletely or wrong fell into place. It was a systematic flow of information. It did me a lot of good, I remembered my responsibilities toward myself.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

Thank you so much. I eagerly await the continuation of your work. I wish you a healthy, abundant, beautiful life.

S.B.A.

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

The program is incredibly well designed. It was a program overflowing with content, explaining very detailed knowledge at a level everyone could understand. Even though I’m a dentist and took most of these classes at the right time in school, I was able to settle the mechanisms so clearly that now, thanks to Sema Hanım, I think every woman should gift themselves this program to be able to understand and make sense of what and why they want or feel. I’m eagerly conveying what I’ve learned to everyone around me. I think this program will open a new era in nutrition. It’s not just a nutrition program, it’s truly a life program.

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

Even though I haven’t fully incorporated the program into my life yet, it gave me tremendous consciousness and awareness. I’m still continuing the DKYY program, and since this program has similarities, I’m very sure I’ll see its effects when I start this one too.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

Bless your effort, I’m so glad you exist 🙂

A.S.

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

You’ve prepared perfect content. I thought about the program process a bit to contribute a constructive criticism, but I couldn’t come up with any additions 🙂 Since I’m in menopause, I had worries about “will this be a program I can actually benefit from?” starting out. My worries were unfounded, of course — I gained wonderful knowledge. Honestly, since entering menopause I hadn’t done any research or gone to a doctor. I was in complete “let it go” mode. Now I’m aware of the underlying causes behind PCOS, my inability to have children, thyroid issues, excess weight, insulin resistance, high sugar, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, my extreme sweating since menopause, my aches, my lack of desire for everything, being a depressive person, my sleep problems, my eating disorder, and many other problems I can’t even recall right now. (The topic of having children is closed now of course, but by applying what I learned from you and starting to live healthily in the last 10 months, I’ve been freed from all my other problems.) “Kız Gibi,” transitioning to cyclical eating (I made the transition without issue, I’ll continue) and putting into life other changes about my lifestyle, will bring me to a completely different level.

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

Since I didn’t come to this program from “chocolate waterfalls,” as you put it (thanks to you, of course), I adapted very comfortably. I gained knowledge on topics I’d never been interested in before but that are very important — women’s health, the female body, hormone function and effects. I was finally able to add exercise into my life. To increase my sleep quality, I’ve started turning off the TV and phone starting at 9:30 PM to focus on myself and do a small amount of meditation. I already do breathing exercises throughout the day, occasionally. As a result, my sleep truly improved a lot, and my measurements continue to shrink (let me add here that in 10 months I dropped from a size 54-56 to a size 44-46 🙂 My sweating and hot flashes decreased significantly. Believe me, it’s nothing to do with the weather cooling — I used to be someone walking around in a tank top in the middle of winter, sweating from every pore for no reason while just sitting. You explained the effect of toxins and chemicals on our hormones so beautifully that even though I was actually quite well-versed in this topic, I was in “ugh, whatever” mode, and I finally started taking this topic seriously. I’d already removed plastics, Teflon etc. from my kitchen. Over time I’ll complete and sustain the change in cleaning products and cosmetics too.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

I wish I’d known all of this 30 years ago. I hope young people join your programs and both become informed themselves, start investing in their future health, and positively influence those around them. You’ve prepared such a wonderful program. All the documents were amazing. I’ll print out and file all of them and always keep them close at hand. Bless your hands. I also want to convey my thanks to Tuğçe Hanım and your husband. Also the scope and beauty of the last follow-up kit you sent — what did you do there 🙂 With my love..

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

The program was prepared with great care and detail — sessions started on time and recording links were sent without any disruption. The content was very rich, and the documents were understandable.

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

I’m someone who’s careful about my nutrition. I’ve followed you for many years and living healthily has always been my priority throughout my life. I’ve been roughly the same weight my whole life, and I don’t really like food either :)) but I’d never calculated my macros before. When I made calculations using the program, I realized I sometimes couldn’t meet my daily protein. In perimenopause, I understood I need to be more careful about my protein intake. I learned how sensitive a topic hormones are and how holistic a perspective they require care from. In this next part of my life, I intend to pay attention to all variables like nutrition, exercise, stress management, and sleep. Also, my body awareness increased — I started making sense of the changes in my body more easily. As I increase real foods in my meals, I feel more energetic and lively, and I’m sure there will be major changes in the coming months. I’m also quite pleased and excited about staying in contact.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

Bless your effort, Sema Hanım — I feel both very lucky and much stronger. I think knowledge is power, and you’ve informed us abundantly. I took this training at such a time — at age 41, learning I was in perimenopause at a moment I never expected, I’d grown bitter toward life. It was as if I’d remain incomplete, I was having hot flashes and felt myself old, energy exhausted. But by the end of the program, it’s as if I’m starting everything from scratch — there’s hope and strength inside me. Everything will be better. Love.

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

The program was very enjoyable, I eagerly awaited the livestreams. I saw I was quite ignorant about the female body, its cycles, and function. I listened to what you explained with astonishment at times. It was very informative from my perspective.

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

I started eating mindfully. I never experienced a hunger crisis. I tried to stay balanced while consuming food and understood how important portion size is. I started exercising, yay — something I’ve wanted for years but was too lazy to do. I took my body measurements on the day we started. When I remeasured this morning, I saw a change of between 2-5 cm.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

This is my first time joining a training of yours. Your energy, your explanatory delivery, especially your effort to raise women’s awareness, were wonderful. I also got your books. From now on, for my health (since most of my conditions stem from my hormones), I’ll live lighter. I’ll tell everyone about you too. I’m so glad you’ve dedicated yourself to these topics. Love..

B.B.

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

The program was amazing for me — I learned many things I didn’t know, and my awareness about my body and soul increased a lot too.

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

Within my cycle, I tried to eat in line with what I learned in the program (even though I couldn’t fully track macros), and above all, I feel much better emotionally — I never experienced pre-period stress and irritability, my sleep got very much into a routine.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

I’d always dreamed Sema Hanım would open a platform, and I was truly delighted to hear it today. I’m eagerly waiting for it to come to life. Everything about the “Kız Gibi” program was perfect; simple and understandable, easily applicable in daily life. I’m so happy to have joined. Thank you so much for everything. Love..

E.S.

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

It was a wonderful program where I gained a lot of new knowledge and my awareness increased. Of course it helped 🙂

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

When I joined “6 cm,” I felt the change in a very short time. Here I could only start the program this week. Physical change is on the way 🙂 I’ve been careful about eating clean for a long time. I could never find a detergent I was satisfied with — I’ve started trying based on your recommendations 🙂 I could say I’ve increased a lot informationally too.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

I’m so glad you exist. Your energy and effort did me a lot of good. I wish I’d met you in my 30s. In light of this knowledge, I could have had a healthier body. Fate had it be at menopause 🙂 It’s never too late 🙂

G.E.Ç.

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

I’d also joined the “3’lü Eliminasyon” before, so I didn’t struggle with what could and couldn’t be included in my eating. It was quite illuminating regarding paying attention to the cycle. Being careful to hit my macros while preparing menus created awareness. Generally protein fell short — I noticed this. On balanced and cycle-based eating, stress management, exercise — all being a whole was well outlined. Even if I can’t fix all of it at once, my effort to keep transitioning to a better version will continue 🙂

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

I haven’t yet detected a difference in my cycle, but the topic of balance in nutrition has now settled into a corner of my mind. Even though I haven’t fully mastered stress management yet, I now apply “pause” moments of 5 minutes more often, and I feel it’s doing me good. Seeing the effect of stress on hormones this clearly, I’ve started tending toward not getting irritated, saying “ah, whatever” 🙂 I already did yoga, but I’ve started working with the videos you sent for a muscle-related gain. I believe it’ll settle into a routine over time. I keep living my life with the constant desire for “aging better.”

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

Thank you so much for your effort and sincerity. It was a very informative and illuminating training in every sense. I’m eagerly awaiting your training platform. I’m sure it’ll be a wonderful app for keeping knowledge fresh and especially for knowing about others who eat and pay attention this way, for those without such people around them. Thanks, love..

B.G.

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

I got wonderful knowledge. All of it is superb when used. The most relaxing was menopause, how the systems work, the massage… all of it. Digesting it, applying it, being able to put it into life right away doesn’t happen that quickly, but I do it right away whenever it comes to mind.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

A superb program. Truly wonderful through and through. A wonderful example of what happens inside a woman and how what we eat can keep us balanced through this. Thank you so much.

D.M.U.

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

Between elimination, then “6 cm,” I was trying to continue on my own this time in a process that used to flow easily before. The message about the program came right at that moment. I’d returned from vacation and gained weight. “I tried so hard, and now I’m back to square one?” I was thinking, preparing to be hard on myself. Right then, in exactly that mood, the program was like medicine. Beyond settling all the pieces into place by grounding the whole system in the female cycle, it became for me most of all a help kit heard as “I’m here. Come on, let’s continue again.” In short, yes, it helped me!

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

You know that saying you explained, “it’s the hormones” — I could say I started noticing that state a bit, by taking notes on it.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

Thank you!

C.E.

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

Yes, it definitely helped. Heading into summer, I’d stopped the 6 cm-DKYY program I’d been making progress with for a while, due to difficult life surprises. I was back at rock bottom. The program held my hand. I’m slowly pulling myself together.

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

I started the program late since it coincided with a very hard time for me. I’ve been trying to apply it for a period exceeding two weeks. My bloating decreased, my water consumption and attention to my sleep increased. My hand keeps going toward healthy choices, being reckless with food doesn’t cross my mind. Getting out of bed became more comfortable, waking up with aches decreased a lot. My mood is definitely better.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

I’m so glad you exist. Always be. I’m excited for the health school. I’m already following whatever you do because your energy does me good. DESPITE ALL THE DIFFICULTIES IN MY LIFE, with the strength I’ve gotten from you I’m trying to do my best. I’m at peace because I’m working for myself. Thank you so, so much.

T.S.T.

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

I got very excited when I heard about your program. I was right to get excited. In this program, with your lovely energy, the delivery was so detailed and knowledgeable that I can’t describe it. The documents you provided being detailed and informative was also great. I actually understood when and what I was experiencing. This relieved me too. In this program I understood I need to meet my carb needs with good carbs. I got very clear and precise information about how to eat cyclically. Not only that — you conveyed all information to us on both the emotional and physical level. A program that gives all kinds of knowledge, from exercise to the emotional realm. Especially my body’s lymph flow and my sleep improved so much I can’t describe it. I recommend this program to everyone. I think all women should join this program. It’s wonderful that the program’s content is so comprehensive and full of contributing knowledge. Thank you so much. I’m so glad I joined.

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

First of all, with massage my sleep quality is deeper, I sleep more beautifully. I understood why I craved more carbs during certain periods. I learned to eat less and apply macros more carefully in my life. I feel better about my body.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

First of all, thank you so much for your contribution. Being together with your lovely energy was wonderful. Grateful for your existence.

İ.T.T.

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

It was a program where I literally felt at home, happy to be part of, and felt I truly belonged. I felt understood in every way, felt I wasn’t alone, felt held by the hand and supported all the way through. Above all, I got to know my dear hormones and understood the reason behind the changes in me. I understood that behind things I’d attributed to other causes, my dear hormones were partly or entirely the reason. I learned how I need to support them and how to look after them like the apple of my eye. When the program started, in terms of the mission it wanted to instill, I wasn’t at zero point, but I learned knowledge that will help me progress from where I was more consciously and better equipped. In short, I could say it started a process of creating a new me in me.

R.B.B.

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

My belief that I could never lose weight after menopause, that nothing would improve, changed.

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

Physically I lost 3 kilos, and most importantly, the “muffin top” [simit-shaped fat] around my waist area is gone. I had knowledge in pieces, but learning it comprehensively, in cause-and-effect relationships and in detail, was really good, and it’s nice to see the results.

M.K.

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

Since the program aligned with the healthy eating I’ve learned from you for years, I didn’t struggle. It helped me learn in detail how I should eat during menopause, women’s health, hormone function, and their effects on our body.

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

I had a month that made me more energetic, knowledgeable, and helped me get out of the wrong eating pattern I’d been following.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

I wish I’d joined this program at 35, not 55, and had been more aware. That’s why I recommend this program to all my young friends. It was a very comprehensive program. Bless your effort. I also thank Tuğçe Hanım specifically. Love..

S.D.V.

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

It was a quite informative, comprehensive, and satisfying training for me. Besides reinforcing some information I already knew, I was able to add more knowledge on top, and better grasp the reasons and logic behind what I knew. So I was able to take my first step toward a more conscious lifestyle. It hugely helped me understand how I want to shape my nutrition and lifestyle going forward.

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

I experienced 3 big changes during this process. First, thanks to what I ate, I started feeling lighter and cleaner. Second, I observed that my long-standing constipation problem slowly started getting into a better routine. Lastly, the decrease in my emotional fluctuations, which I also attribute to the psychological side of things.. I believe these stem from knowing I’ve taken control of my life and am showing myself compassion.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

I’d conveyed my thanks to you, Sema Hanım, but I want to convey them once more here. You’ve become an inspiration and the person who fills in the content of that “idol” concept you mentioned 🙂 In our country, more people, especially women, need to take this kind of training — to get to know, understand, and talk about their bodies. Only through such things can we make sense of our lives.

S.S.K.

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

I learned so much in this program. I’m 51 years old, and it turns out I didn’t know anything correct about our hormones. My awareness increased tremendously. Nutrition, stress management, exercise, self-compassion… Until now I’ve lived with missing pieces of the puzzle; now the picture is much clearer. I’m in the menopause process and have two daughters — this knowledge will be very useful for them too. Your recipes are very successful, they suit my palate a lot. I try something new every week and add it to my own recipe book. Now it’s also lovely knowing what and when to eat to support my hormones.

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

With “6 cm” I’d achieved the physical change I wanted through proper portioning. I’d become aware of the mistakes I’d made regarding nutrition. In “Kız Gibi” I gained a more holistic perspective. It was a genuine revelation for me. I’m more understanding toward myself now. Also, I loved the natural personal care products you recommended — I’m glad you shared them.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

From time to time, though not very often, my heart rate can suddenly speed up. It’s a situation that panics me. It happened recently while I was walking down the street — it sped up. I know it’ll speed up even more… I remembered your 3-4-5 breathing technique. I did it for 1-2 minutes and normalized immediately. It was like a magic wand touched me, it worked and I felt so much relief 🙂 I benefited a lot from both programs, Sema Hanım. My exact feeling is: like I’ve moved from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, a complete enlightenment. Thank you so much, bless your effort. May your path be clear.

H.D.

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

I’m in the perimenopause period and I learned the fundamentals of nutrition.

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

Physically I’ve slimmed down about 3 kg and feel very light. I didn’t have my period-time migraine attacks this month, which is the most wonderful thing for me. In general terms, I could say I’ve learned how my eating should be. I, who could never have breakfast without bread or honey, don’t even miss bread at all now 🙂

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

I want to share my ongoing progress with you 🙂

P.B.

First of all, thank you so much for your effort — a program with wonderful content. I know it’s not fair to compare it with other programs, but “Kız Gibi” was genuinely the program I liked most and benefited from most. Actually, I could say I built up progressively with each program. Of course I still can’t apply it 100%, but compared to before, I’ve made great progress. Thank you from the heart. In the “Kız Gibi” program, I actually noticed the mistakes I was making while thinking “let me eat healthy.” For example, I’ve been eating 2 meals for a long time, and I realized, by not doing it, that long fasting during the calm phase was actually straining me 🙂 When I ate suited to the calm phase, I went through that period much better. My body literally relaxed. And many things like this. I think producing this content is very valuable, incredibly important for women. As I always say, may no stone ever touch your foot. I hope we stay in contact for many years to come with more wonderful trainings. Lots of love..

A.U.

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

The program was very educational for me. Approaching the topic holistically, the journey starting with hormones, the effect of nutrition and stress, and then addressing exercise, sleep, meditation, and many topics together was very beneficial.

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

As someone in the menopause period, I didn’t know the relationship between hormones and nutrition this clearly, and I’ve been trying to lose weight with various diet programs until now. After learning the causes and effects, I think I can progress with weight loss without struggling and more quickly.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

Thank you so much to you and Tuğçe Hanım. Your conviction, knowledge, and experience about the topic are so clearly evident that I’ve been following the program with belief and excitement since day one. The program and all the documents are planned and managed so systematically.

T.T.

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

This program was very beneficial for me, a program overflowing with content. It made a tremendous contribution to my gaining knowledge on many topics regarding nutrition that I didn’t know until now.

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

After learning how effective what we eat is on the human body, I started taking much better care of myself by changing all my living conditions and habits accordingly.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

I’m grateful for you preparing such a program and explaining to us things nobody has explained until now. I’m so glad you exist.

H.K.

To prepare for menopause, I got this training right away when you opened it. Because I was afraid of the idea of entering menopause. Something much better happened; actually the topic isn’t just menopause — I learned how to eat properly at all times. Because throughout my life I could never become the “gray-sweatpants woman” Cem Yılmaz talks about, but I really wanted to say “I have my moods.” Since I always worked very intensely, I always had to swallow it, because I didn’t want to accept this. Turns out I was very right — you can solve this through nutrition. Someone teaching me this is incredibly wonderful. I’ve never particularly liked eating or sweets anyway. That’s why I generally wandered around hungry, and past age 40 I could never lose the weight I gained. Thanks to this training, I understood why I got so irritable before my period. Since I’ve been following the fasting cycles, I’m never irritable or tense anymore, and I don’t have pain either. Also, even though I eat more now, I’ve lost 2 kg around my waist area. It’s 2024 — I was amazed at why we don’t know this kind of information. Thank you so, so much for helping us gain this valuable knowledge. I hope everyone benefits from this knowledge. Also I need to note that this knowledge improved not just my quality of life but my husband’s too. He’s very happy since he no longer has to put up with my irritable moods 🙂

Y.Y.

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

The program was wonderful for me. I wished it wouldn’t end. My perspective on food changed. I was someone who ate a full Turkish-culture cuisine. I was one of those who believed there always had to be 2-3 different dishes and bread on the table to feel full. As an insulin-resistance patient who came from baklava, pastry, and cake waterfalls, who slept with a wafer packet in hand at night, who woke up craving something sweet, who’d spoon honey or jam if there was nothing else — these haven’t even crossed my mind for about 3 weeks now. I feel proud saying “no” to all packaged and unpackaged snacks. I’m also slowly saying goodbye to the weight that was the cause of my irregular periods — I’ve already lost 2 kilos. I wake up rested. Thank you for being a light and giving me back to myself, this 35-year-old woman whose entire hormonal balance was upended and who was a candidate for type 2 diabetes. I’m grateful…

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

Informationally, everything changed. I learned new things and feel lightened and purified. My brain fog lifted. I’ve been truly enlightened. I’m getting your emails bound into a book. Wonderful data, bless your effort.

Anything you’d like to add or tell me…

I’m so glad our paths crossed. I’m so glad you exist. Thank you so, so much to you and Tuğçe Hanım. May the hope of my hopelessness be a light to all my fellow women too.
