One more thing I’d like to add is that I believe it made a huge difference that you have fully integrated all of these practices into your own life. As the saying goes, “The best way to teach something is not by telling, but by doing.” The fact that you truly live this lifestyle, continuously learn, evolve, stay flexible, and always simplify even the most complex topics made the program so much more impactful for participants—at least it did for me. Thank you once again.

F.K.

What was your goal when you started this program?

My goal was to get my autoimmune disease under control and live in a healthier body with a greater sense of well-being.

I’ve been living with psoriasis for 10 years. Last year, on my birthday, I decided to stop taking all of my medications because I felt they were only suppressing my symptoms. I thought, “How long can I keep doing this?” and started looking for a different path. My sister had been recommending you for years, but honestly, I didn’t have the courage to adopt this way of eating—it felt intimidating. A month ago, my husband and sister finally convinced me, saying, “You don’t have any other option left,” and that’s how I joined your program.

How did the program help you achieve your goals?

As a nurse, and also through my search for solutions for my illness, I’ve read countless research papers and scientific articles. But nutrition is such a vast topic that I found it overwhelming to organize all that information and figure out the right path.

The sentence that motivated me most at the beginning of the program was:

“Don’t focus on what you can’t eat—focus on what you can eat.”

That mindset changed everything.

What physical and behavioral changes did you notice by the end of the program?

I can’t say I followed the program perfectly—I would say I followed it about 90%. Even so, the results after only 25 days were incredible, and I wanted to share my excitement with you. I sent you my before-and-after photos because I truly wanted to thank you once again. You changed my life.

The biggest change was my psoriasis, which I had already shared with you. Honestly, even if nothing else had changed, that alone would have been enough for me.

On top of that, I lost 5 kg, my skin became radiant, my energy increased, and I started waking up happier every morning. I also became more organized, more disciplined, and more intentional in my daily life.

Who would you recommend this program to?

I would recommend it to everyone.

The foods we eat affect us both physically and psychologically, often without us even realizing it.

Most importantly, anyone living with an autoimmune condition should give it a try. Once you experience that incredible sense of well-being and wake up without pain, you’ll never want to go back.

Anything else you’d like to add?

Two or three weeks before the program started, I got out of the shower, looked at myself in the mirror, and cried uncontrollably.

Now, every morning I look at my psoriasis lesions and smile.

I still can’t believe how far I’ve come.

You truly changed my life, and more importantly, you taught me how to make these changes sustainable.

Thank you once again.

My message to anyone considering this program is simple:

Don’t be afraid. Just start. The rest will follow.

The human body is truly an incredible machine. When you give it the right fuel, it begins repairing itself remarkably quickly. Thank you for allowing me to witness this transformation firsthand by generously sharing the knowledge you’ve gained over the years—from your education, your personal experience, and the countless participant stories you’ve collected. I could listen to you for hours without ever getting bored. I’m so grateful our paths crossed. You’ll always be part of my life from now on.

L.B.

What was your goal when you started this program?

For about three years, I’ve been reading books about health, but I couldn’t turn all that knowledge into a clear path or build consistent routines. I joined the program to give myself another chance—to learn, apply, and finally make it sustainable.

How did the program help you achieve your goals?

Instead of trying to change everything at once, introducing one new focus each week and gradually building on it was by far the most effective approach for me.

The recipes and alternative meal options were also fantastic. Unlike the traditional consultations and meal plans I’ve experienced with other health professionals, this program helped me understand what we were doing and, more importantly, why we were doing it. That made building lasting habits so much easier.

What physical and behavioral changes did you notice by the end of the program?

As someone with ADHD, the biggest change was this:

I no longer beat myself up when I don’t do everything perfectly.

I no longer blame myself or fall into the “I’ve already messed up, so I might as well keep going” mindset. Whenever I stumble, I simply begin again—with self-compassion.

I also started eliminating toxic products and chemicals from my living environment. That was something I cared about just as much as healthy eating, and I realized it doesn’t have to happen overnight—it can be done gradually.

The Physical Activity Questionnaire and mindful eating practices gave me confidence that I am capable of making lasting changes.

Despite having quite a few unavoidable “off-plan” moments, I still finished the program 5 kg lighter. Starting January 15th (because Mercury retrograde and planetary alignments are supposedly challenging until then! 😊), I’m planning to do a three-month elimination protocol using everything I’ve learned from you.

I’m genuinely excited.

Who would you recommend this program to?

Honestly, everyone.

But if I had to prioritize, I would recommend it first to people with psychiatric conditions, adults over 65, teenagers, and women preparing for pregnancy.

Because I truly believe that alongside conventional medical treatment (with the exception of surgery), this approach can become one of the most powerful tools for improving health.

B.A.

What was your goal when you started this program?

During the first live session, you asked us, “Why are you on this journey? What’s your purpose?” This is what I wrote in my journal:

I want to feel lighter.
I want to free myself from the physical discomforts I experience and the worries they bring.
I want to reset my mind’s automatic patterns and habitual behaviors.
I want my skin, my eyes, and even the area under my eyes to glow.
I want to nourish myself in a way that supports harmony and well-being of my body, mind, and spirit.
I want to take better care of my hormones and my libido.
I want to shine brighter, inspire others, and truly live life to its fullest.

How did the program help you achieve your goals?

I feel cleansed. I feel lighter. The brain fog disappeared.

Once I stopped burdening my body with foods I didn’t truly need, I realized how enjoyable and effortless it can feel simply to exist in my body.

The foods I eliminated now feel like burdens—I don’t even want to bring them back into my life.

By adding fresh, natural, living foods and drinks into my diet, I began feeling as though every meal was giving me life and vitality.

What physical and behavioral changes did you notice by the end of the program?

Physically, I became leaner and lighter.

My endurance and performance improved in every workout I regularly do.

My relationship with hunger and cravings completely changed.

I still get hungry—but I don’t experience cravings anymore.

Actually, that’s not entirely true…

Now I crave salads, vegetables, tahini, fruit, sparkling water, and hot cocoa.

Who would you recommend this program to?

Without exception—everyone.

I wish everyone could experience, even once, the difference between simply being alive and feeling truly alive, regardless of where they are now or what their goals may be.

I love you.

I trust you.

Thank you, on behalf of the world, for making your own path—and the paths of everyone whose hand you hold—brighter, lighter, and easier to walk.

❤️

What was your goal when you started this program?

My goal was to stop eating processed foods, get back into my kitchen, and learn healthy recipes that I could actually make.

Because of difficult life events like the earthquake and moving to a new home, emotional eating had also become a bigger issue for me.

I wasn’t trying to lose weight—I just didn’t feel that I was eating foods that truly nourished me.

How did the program help you achieve your goals?

The biggest challenge was that I didn’t know where to start or what to eat.

The program became my roadmap.

Receiving daily emails made it so much easier to stay on track and keep moving toward my goal.

What physical and behavioral changes did you notice by the end of the program?

The biggest difference is that I don’t get hungry nearly as often anymore.

That means I spend far less time thinking about food, which has been incredibly freeing.

My husband joined the program with me because he wanted to lose weight.

I personally didn’t have weight concerns, and we actually forgot to take body measurements before starting.

But today—on Day 24, before even beginning the food reintroductions—my husband happily told me he can now comfortably fit into pants that he couldn’t wear before.

I’ve also noticed my waist has become noticeably slimmer because my clothes fit differently.

More importantly, I feel incredibly light.

Both of us used to struggle with severe bloating, and that’s completely gone now.

Who would you recommend this program to?

Anyone looking for guidance in improving their relationship with food.

Additional Comments…

Sema Hanım, your recipes were amazing.

The crispy quinoa, mug cake, and almond flour pancakes have already become regular favorites in our home.

We realized that healthy eating is actually very practical and fits naturally into everyday life.

Best of all, I can confidently serve these foods to my child.

Whenever my child says, “Mommy, I want cake!” or asks for something crunchy, I immediately turn to your recipes.

Your program has benefited our entire family.

B.E.

What was your goal when you started this program?

I was already eating gluten-free, but I wasn’t doing it in a knowledgeable or balanced way.

When I first started, I leaned heavily on rice and potatoes because I didn’t know what else to eat.

I joined the program to learn how to follow a truly healthy gluten-free lifestyle and to build habits that would support my long-term health and quality of life.

I also hoped that losing the 4–5 kg I needed to lose would be a nice added bonus.

B.E.

How did the program help you achieve your goals?

I learned so much throughout the program. I took notes in my notebook, organized all of your resources into folders, and tried your recipes—they really kept me motivated. 😊

I realized that healthy eating isn’t difficult—it simply requires commitment. I discovered that it’s absolutely possible to eat healthily without feeling hungry and while still feeling completely satisfied.

In a few months, I’ll have my blood work done again. If I see improvements—especially in my cholesterol and CRP levels—I’ll be sure to share the results with you.

What physical and behavioral changes did you notice by the end of the program?

I find myself researching nutrition much more and paying far closer attention to what I eat.

Who would you recommend this program to?

I’ve already recommended it to people close to me.

I believe this isn’t something only people with health issues should care about. The way I eat today is shaping my body, my mind, and my health ten years from now—and that’s incredibly important to me.

Anything else you’d like to add?

I think everything you gave us—the knowledge, the time, the daily emails, the resources—was incredibly valuable. More than anything, it showed how deeply dedicated you are to what you do.

I honestly wasn’t expecting this level of support over the course of three to four weeks. The recipes, in particular, were fantastic. They gave us a clear starting point, and thanks to what you’ve taught us, we can now adapt them, build on them, and create countless new recipes of our own.

What I appreciated most about you was that you never came across as someone lecturing from a pedestal. Instead, you taught with warmth, sincerity, years of experience, and an enthusiasm that still feels wonderfully genuine.

When you said the final email was coming, I actually felt a little sad. I waited a couple of days before opening it because I didn’t want the experience to end just yet. 😊

G.K.

What was your goal when you started this program?

My goal was to lose weight and repair my relationship with food.

I’ve been trapped in the dieting cycle since middle school—for about 25 years. I was constantly dieting, constantly regretting everything I ate, and then eating even more because of that guilt.

I could always stick to a diet while it lasted, but I could never maintain it afterward. Breaking free from that cycle was one of my biggest goals.

How did the program help you achieve your goals?

First, Sema Hanım explained everything in a logical, easy-to-understand way. Learning how and why to eat this way made all the difference.

Her warm personality, sense of humor, and encouraging approach also stayed with me. Whenever I was close to giving up, her words would immediately pop into my mind.

As the weeks went by, I felt lighter, my mind became clearer, and those improvements gave me the motivation to keep going.

What physical and behavioral changes did you notice by the end of the program?

Because I’ve always judged myself by numbers, I deliberately chose not to weigh myself or take body measurements this time.

My only goal was to feel better.

So I can’t tell you how many pounds or inches I lost, but my clothes definitely became looser. I can now wear clothes that no longer fit before. In fact, today I spent the entire day wearing pants that have become noticeably too loose! 😊

Behaviorally, the change has been enormous.

Our house is currently full of chocolates from holiday gifts. Normally, I would have eaten them all without thinking—but I haven’t touched them.

Instead, I satisfy my sweet cravings with fruit-based treats.

Sometimes my portions are a little generous, but that’s okay.

The difference is that I no longer punish myself when that happens.

I simply enjoy my food without guilt.

I also work from home and spend most of my day sitting.

During this program, I started Pilates.

It’s been amazing for me.

Normally I would quit after a short time or come up with endless excuses not to go—but this time, I haven’t missed a single session.

For me, that’s a huge achievement.

Who would you recommend this program to?

Speaking from my own experience, I would recommend it especially to people who’ve spent their lives trapped in the endless cycle of dieting.

The feeling of becoming lighter—both physically and in terms of digestive comfort—is incredible.

Anything else you’d like to add?

Sema Hanım, I truly admire your energy and your knowledge.

I make a point of visiting your Instagram page every single day because your content continues to motivate me and teach me something new.

I received so much support from you—not only motivation, but also practical methods, knowledge, and experience.

I signed up at the very last minute, just before registration closed.

I was convinced I would fail again.

I’m so glad I decided to join.

Thanks to you, I started the new year with a completely different mindset.

Thank you so much for all your hard work.

With love.

D.B.

What was your goal when you started this program?

Curiosity.

I wanted to see how I would feel after completely eliminating all three food groups, and I hoped that being part of a community would help keep me motivated.

How did the program help you achieve your goals?

The daily emails from Sema Hanım made me feel supported throughout the journey.

I also appreciated that the live sessions weren’t simply repeats of the emails.

Most importantly, the program introduced mindful eating and slow eating into my life, and that made a tremendous difference.

What physical and behavioral changes did you notice by the end of the program?

I lost 3 kg and became noticeably leaner.

Food is no longer something I chase or obsess over.

I’ve always eaten relatively healthy foods, but I used to eat quickly and almost mechanically—as if eating were just another task to complete.

Now I eat slowly.

I actually experience my meals.

I notice the different flavors on my palate, enjoy the experience of eating, and afterward I feel genuinely satisfied instead of simply full.

Who would you recommend this program to?

I would recommend it to everyone.
