It’s Time to Share the Feedback from the Incredible First Graduates of Kız Gibi

Here are the experiences of some of the wonderful women who completed the very first Kız Gibi Program.

A.U.B.

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

It changed my life.

What physical, mental, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

Turns out I didn’t have a sleep problem—I had a nutrition problem.

I used to wake up around 2 or 3 a.m. for no apparent reason and then stay awake until 5 in the morning. Now, I put my head on the pillow, fall asleep, and don’t open my eyes until morning. Even if I wake up because of a noise in the house, I can easily drift back to sleep. Honestly, nothing could be more amazing than this.

The bloating in my body is completely gone. More than that, it feels as though I had been carrying a huge stone inside my abdomen all this time—and suddenly it’s gone. I feel light, free, and comfortable.

My menstrual cycle used to be unpredictable, often arriving anywhere from two to five days late. This month, I got my period exactly on day 28.

And it gets even better. I used to spend the first nights of my period curled up in pain, unable to sleep because of severe cramps. This month, I experienced nothing more than a slight discomfort.

The emotional roller coaster that normally started two weeks before my period simply didn’t happen. No tension. No mood swings.

Instead, I feel calmer, happier, and much more positive—something that’s especially meaningful because I’ve struggled with depressive moods for a long time.

Perhaps the biggest transformation is that I’ve regained confidence in myself.

I’d tried sugar-free eating and intermittent fasting so many times before, but every attempt ended in failure. Eventually I started believing, “I’m just someone who can’t do it.”

This program showed me that I absolutely can.

First, I realized that I thrive in a supportive group environment.

Second, after listening to Sema explain the science behind everything, I finally understood why I had struggled before.

Knowing what my body truly needs, understanding why I’m making each choice, and realizing that I’m finally taking proper care of this incredible body I’ve been given is one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever given myself.

I know this is only the beginning of a lifelong journey, but even standing at the starting line and looking toward the future fills me with hope.

Sema, I know my own readiness and timing played a role in all of this, but I still want you to know:

You and your program are one of the best things that have ever happened to me.

I’ve told you before, but I’ll gladly say it again:

YOU CHANGED MY LIFE.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

Sema… I just want to give you a hug!

For days I had been thinking about writing to ask whether you could create some kind of community where we could all stay connected after the program.

Then, during the live session, you announced the platform you were building.

I literally thought to myself, “Just ask the universe—and Sema will make it happen.”

Because of the time difference and my busy schedule, I may not always be very active, but I promise you this:

I’ll be one of the most enthusiastic members of your community.

S.T.

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

From the very first live session, I felt incredibly motivated.

I had already been feeling that my body needed a reset—something wasn’t quite right—but I didn’t know exactly what I was looking for.

This program made me think,

“This is exactly what I needed… and so much more.”

What impressed me most was how holistic it was. Every topic was explained from every angle, allowing us to make informed decisions instead of simply following instructions.

The care and thought that went into every detail was remarkable—from your beautifully written daily emails to your heartfelt live sessions, thoughtful answers to our questions, and your incredible energy.

Thank you so much, Sema.

This experience has left a lasting impression on me.

What physical, mental, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

I never imagined transitioning into my period could be this easy.

The first two days of every cycle used to be filled with headaches and painful cramps. I would wake up so tense that I could barely move.

About a week before my period, I would become irritable, anxious, and emotionally overwhelmed.

This month…

None of that happened.

I discovered that it’s actually possible to have a peaceful menstrual cycle.

That alone is enough motivation for me to continue.

It’s absolutely worth it.

My skin is glowing. The difference is unmistakable—it looks brighter, healthier, and more radiant.

And honestly, my mind feels just as refreshed.

I’ve finally developed a healthy, sustainable way of eating.

Because my work is physically demanding and I’m constantly on the move, I expected to feel exhausted throughout the program.

Instead, I had amazing energy.

I didn’t experience my usual cravings or those moments when I’d impatiently grab whatever food was nearby.

This time, I calmly prepared my salad instead.

You’ve given me the routine I’ve always wanted but never managed to build on my own.

I’m definitely continuing from here.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

I’m so grateful you exist, Sema.

May your knowledge continue reaching more and more women, and may your light continue to shine.

Sending you lots of love.

G.T.

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

This program contains everything a woman should know about her body, her emotions, and the experiences she goes through.

It helped me tremendously.

I imagine many of the other participants had the exact same thought I did:

“I only wish I had learned all of this much earlier.”

What physical, mental, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

I’ve always been happy with my body and maintained the same weight for years.

However, after menopause I gained about two kilograms, my waist became thicker, and after an especially indulgent summer filled with celebrations and alcohol, I joined the program mainly because I wanted my body—and especially my internal organs—to feel healthy again.

That’s exactly what happened.

During the first week, I lost those extra two kilograms.

By the second week, I realized something surprising: the constant postnasal drip and endless morning sneezing that had bothered me for years had disappeared. (Not eating my beloved cheese probably had something to do with it. I’d already stopped consuming milk and yogurt long ago.)

By the third week, I felt noticeably stronger.

I’ve practiced yoga twice a week for four years, so I could clearly feel the difference—many of the poses that used to make me shake suddenly felt stable.

And all of this happened despite a few occasional indulgences along the way.

My sleep has improved as well.

I also noticed that when I eat late at night, my hot flashes become significantly worse, which was an important realization.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

When I first joined the program, I wasn’t planning to tell anyone.

You know how people can be—“You’re already slim. Why would you need something like this?”

But before long, I found myself enthusiastically sharing everything I was learning with my friends.

I printed all of the materials you sent and turned them into a booklet.

Just as you suggested, I’ll keep reading and learning at my own pace—without pressure.

Thank you for your warmth, sincerity, and beautiful way of teaching.

I look forward to seeing you again.

H.T.

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

This was an incredibly informative, practical, motivating, and empowering program.

I’m so glad I didn’t miss it.

My relationship with myself has become much deeper.

I’m far more aware of my body now, and I’ve realized that instead of fighting against it, I can actually work with it.

It’s as if my body and I have become close friends who truly listen to one another.

That realization alone is priceless.

Since I’m postmenopausal, I followed the lunar cycle instead of a menstrual cycle.

Because I’d been eating a ketobiotic diet for over a year, increasing my carbohydrate intake felt challenging at first—and honestly, I had quite a few slip-ups.

Then I realized something important:

To me, eating carbohydrates had become psychologically associated with “cheating.”

That awareness was eye-opening.

The gradual transition method worked much better for me, and I genuinely enjoyed the process.

I also absolutely loved the lymphatic massage.

My sleep became so deep that I don’t even hear my husband’s snoring anymore!

Overall, I feel incredibly fortunate to have been part of this program.

What physical, mental, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

I’ve experienced so many moments of clarity.

Things I misunderstood—or only partially understood before—finally fell into place.

The information was presented in such a logical and systematic way that everything made sense.

Most importantly, it reminded me of the responsibility I have toward caring for myself.

It was exactly what I needed.

Additional comments…

Thank you so much. I truly look forward to everything you create in the future. I wish you a long, healthy, abundant, and beautiful life.

S.B.A.

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

The program was incredibly well designed. It was packed with valuable information, presented in a way that anyone could easily understand.

Even though I’m a dentist and had learned much of the science behind these topics during my education, this program helped all the mechanisms finally click into place. Thanks to Sema, I can now understand why my body craves certain things, why I feel the way I do, and how to make sense of it all.

I genuinely believe every woman should give herself this program as a gift.

I’ve been enthusiastically sharing everything I’ve learned with everyone around me.

I truly believe this program represents the beginning of a new era in nutrition.

It’s not simply a nutrition program—it’s a life program.

What physical, mental, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

Although I haven’t fully incorporated everything into my lifestyle yet, the program has given me an extraordinary level of awareness and understanding.

I’m still following the DKYY program, and because the two approaches complement each other so well, I’m confident I’ll continue seeing even greater results as I fully embrace everything I’ve learned here.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

Thank you for all your hard work.

I’m so grateful you exist. 😊

A.S.

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

You’ve created an absolutely outstanding program.

I actually tried to think of some constructive feedback, but honestly, I couldn’t come up with a single thing that needed improving.

Since I’m postmenopausal, I initially wondered whether this program would even apply to me.

It turns out that concern was completely unnecessary.

I learned so much.

To be honest, since entering menopause, I hadn’t done any research or even spoken with a doctor. I had simply accepted everything and stopped trying.

Now I finally understand the underlying causes behind so many of the struggles I’ve experienced throughout my life:

• PCOS
• infertility
• thyroid disease
• obesity
• insulin resistance
• high blood sugar
• high blood pressure
• elevated triglycerides
• excessive hot flashes
• chronic pain
• lack of motivation
• depression
• sleep problems
• disordered eating

…and many other issues I hadn’t even connected before.

Of course, having children is no longer part of my journey, but over the past ten months, by applying what I’ve learned from you and embracing a healthier lifestyle, I’ve already overcome nearly all of those other problems.

I’m certain that continuing with cyclical nutrition—which I’ve transitioned into effortlessly—and making the additional lifestyle changes you’ve taught us will take me to an entirely new level of health.

What physical, mental, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

Thankfully, I wasn’t coming from what you call the “chocolate waterfall” stage anymore—thanks to you!—so adapting to the program was quite easy.

For the first time, I learned about women’s health, the female body, and how hormones actually work.

I finally managed to make exercise a regular part of my life.

To improve my sleep, I now turn off the TV and my phone around 9:30 p.m. and spend that time taking care of myself, including short meditation sessions. I was already practicing breathing exercises throughout the day, so I continued those as well.

The result?

My sleep has improved dramatically.

My body continues to shrink—in fact, over the past ten months I’ve gone from a size 54–56 to a size 44–46.

My excessive sweating and hot flashes have almost disappeared.

And believe me—it has nothing to do with cooler weather.

I used to wear sleeveless tops in the middle of winter because I’d suddenly break into a sweat while simply sitting still.

Although I already knew quite a bit about toxins and chemicals, I had fallen into an “Oh well…” mindset.

The way you explained their impact on hormones finally motivated me to take the issue seriously.

I’ve already removed plastics, Teflon, and similar products from my kitchen, and over time I’ll continue replacing my cleaning products and cosmetics with healthier alternatives.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

I only wish I’d learned all of this thirty years ago.

I sincerely hope younger women join your programs so they can invest in their future health much earlier—and inspire those around them to do the same.

This program is absolutely exceptional.

All of the materials were outstanding.

I’ve printed every document and organized them into a binder that I’ll always keep within reach.

Thank you so much.

Please also extend my gratitude to Tuğçe and to your husband.

And that continuation package you recently released… wow!

How amazing is that?!

With love.

D.Z.G.

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

The program was prepared with incredible care and attention to detail.

Every session started on time, recordings were shared promptly, the content was comprehensive, and the educational materials were clear and easy to follow.

What physical, mental, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

I’ve always paid close attention to my nutrition and have followed your work for many years.

Healthy living has always been one of my top priorities.

I’ve maintained roughly the same weight throughout my life and, to be honest, I’ve never been someone who particularly loves food!

However, I’d never actually calculated my macronutrients before.

When I finally did, I realized I wasn’t consistently getting enough protein.

Now that I’m in perimenopause, I understand just how important adequate protein intake really is.

I also learned that hormonal health requires a much more holistic and delicate approach than I’d ever imagined.

Going forward, I want to pay equal attention to every pillar of health—nutrition, exercise, stress management, and sleep.

I’ve become much more in tune with my body and can now understand its signals far more easily.

As I continue increasing the amount of real, whole foods in my meals, I already feel more energetic and vibrant.

I’m certain even greater changes are still ahead.

I’m also incredibly excited that we’ll continue staying connected through the platform.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

Thank you for everything, Sema.

I feel incredibly fortunate—and much stronger than before.

To me, knowledge is power, and you’ve empowered us with an abundance of it.

I joined the program at exactly the right time.

At forty-one, I unexpectedly discovered I was entering perimenopause, and honestly, I felt devastated.

I thought life was somehow becoming smaller.

I was dealing with hot flashes and felt old, exhausted, and drained.

But now, by the end of the program, I feel as though I’m starting over.

I’m filled with hope.

I’m filled with strength.

And I truly believe the best is yet to come.

With love.

B.Ü.

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

I truly enjoyed every part of the program.

I looked forward to every live session with excitement.

One thing I realized is just how little I actually knew about the female body, our cycles, and how everything works.

Many times I found myself listening in complete amazement.

It was incredibly educational.

What physical, mental, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

I’ve started eating much more mindfully.

I didn’t experience any intense hunger cravings.

I focused on creating balanced meals and finally understood just how important portion sizes really are.

And…

I finally started exercising!

(Yay! Something I’d wanted to do for years but kept putting off.)

I took my body measurements on the first day of the program, and when I measured again this morning, I’d lost between 2 and 5 centimeters in different areas.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

This was my very first program with you.

Your energy, your clear explanations, and especially your dedication to educating women were truly inspiring.

I’ve already bought your books.

From now on, I’m choosing a healthier life—for myself, especially because so many of my health issues stem from hormonal imbalances.

I’ll be recommending you to everyone I know.

Thank you for dedicating your life to this work.

With love.

B.B.

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

The program was absolutely amazing.

I learned so many things I never knew before, and my awareness of both my body and my emotional well-being has grown tremendously.

What physical, mental, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

I tried to follow the nutrition recommendations according to my cycle, even though I wasn’t always able to track my macronutrients perfectly.

Most importantly, I feel emotionally so much better.

I didn’t experience my usual premenstrual stress or irritability at all.

My sleep has also become much more regular.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

I’ve always hoped Sema would create a community platform, so hearing today’s announcement made me genuinely happy.

I can’t wait for it to launch.

Everything about the Kız Gibi program was exceptional.

It was simple, clear, and easy to apply in everyday life.

I’m so grateful I joined.

Thank you for everything.

With love.

E.S.

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

It was a wonderful program that taught me so many new things and greatly increased my awareness.

It absolutely helped.

What physical, mental, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

When I first joined the 6 cm program, I noticed changes almost immediately.

With this program, I only managed to start this week, so the physical transformation is still on its way!

I’ve been eating clean for quite some time.

I’d never been able to find a laundry detergent I was truly happy with, so I recently started trying the products you recommended.

I’d also say my knowledge has grown tremendously.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

I’m so grateful for you.

Your energy and dedication have meant so much to me.

I only wish I’d met you in my thirties.

With everything I know now, I could have enjoyed an even healthier body for many more years.

But as they say—

it’s never too late.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

I haven’t noticed significant changes in my cycle just yet, but maintaining balance in my nutrition is now something that’s constantly on my mind. While I’m still working on managing stress more effectively, I’ve started taking more frequent five-minute “pause” moments throughout the day, and I can already feel how beneficial they are.

Understanding so clearly how stress affects our hormones has also changed the way I react to difficult situations. Instead of getting upset so easily, I find myself saying, “It’s okay, let it go.” 😊

I was already practicing yoga, but after the program I started incorporating the strength-training videos you shared to build more muscle. I’m confident this will gradually become part of my regular routine.

More than anything, I’m continuing this journey with the goal of aging well and living well.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

Thank you so much for your dedication and genuine care.

This was an incredibly informative and eye-opening program in every way.

I’m eagerly looking forward to your upcoming learning platform. I truly believe it will be wonderful—not only because it will help us keep the information fresh, but also because it will connect women who may not have people around them who share these values and lifestyle habits.

Thank you again, and sending you lots of love.

B.G.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

I learned so many valuable things, and every single one of them has been incredibly useful.

Learning about menopause, understanding how our bodies work, and especially the lymphatic massage were among the most impactful parts for me.

Of course, absorbing everything, putting it into practice, and making it part of daily life doesn’t happen overnight. But whenever I remember something I’ve learned, I immediately try to apply it.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

This is an outstanding program—truly exceptional.

It beautifully explains what’s happening inside a woman’s body and how the foods we eat can help restore and maintain hormonal balance.

Thank you so much.

D.M.U.

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

After completing the Elimination Program and then the 6 cm program, I had been trying to continue on my own. That’s exactly when I received the announcement about this program.

I’d just come back from vacation, gained some weight, and was starting to blame myself.

I kept thinking,

“I worked so hard… am I really back where I started?”

This program arrived at exactly the right moment.

More than simply organizing everything around the female hormonal cycle and making everything finally make sense, it felt like someone was saying,

“I’m here. Come on—we’ll start again together.”

It truly felt like an emotional first-aid kit.

So yes—it absolutely helped me.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

You know how you often say,

“It’s probably your hormones.”

I’ve started paying attention and taking notes, and now I’m beginning to recognize those patterns in myself too.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

Thank you!

C.E.

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

Absolutely.

Before summer, I’d been making great progress with the 6 cm and DKYY programs, but unexpected life challenges caused me to lose my momentum.

I found myself at rock bottom again.

This program reached out its hand and helped me get back up.

I’m slowly finding my way again.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

Because I started during one of the most difficult periods of my life, I wasn’t able to begin the program right away. I’ve been following it consistently for a little over two weeks now.

Even in that short time:

• My bloating has noticeably decreased.
• I’m drinking much more water.
• I’m paying closer attention to my sleep.
• Healthy food choices now come naturally.
• Mindless eating no longer even crosses my mind.
• Getting out of bed feels easier.
• I rarely wake up with aches and pains anymore.
• Most importantly, my mental well-being has improved significantly.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

I’m so grateful for you.

Please keep doing what you do.

I’m incredibly excited about your upcoming Health School.

At this point, I’ll gladly follow anything you create because your energy genuinely makes me feel better.

Despite all the challenges I’m facing in my life, the strength I’ve gained from you keeps me doing the very best I can.

I feel at peace because I know I’m finally investing in myself.

Thank you—truly, from the bottom of my heart.

T.S.T.

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

When I first heard about this program, I was incredibly excited.

And now I know that excitement was completely justified.

The amount of knowledge you shared—combined with your wonderful energy—was simply incredible.

The documents you prepared were just as comprehensive and informative.

For the first time, I truly understood what I had been experiencing and why.

That realization alone brought me so much relief.

I learned how important it is to meet my carbohydrate needs with healthy, high-quality sources and gained a clear understanding of how to eat in alignment with my hormonal cycle.

But the program went far beyond nutrition.

You taught us about every aspect of well-being—from exercise to emotional health.

The lymphatic massage has made an incredible difference, especially in my sleep quality and overall sense of well-being.

I would recommend this program to every woman.

In fact, I believe every woman should experience it.

The content is incredibly comprehensive and filled with practical, life-changing information.

Thank you so much.

I’m so glad I joined.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

The lymphatic massage has made the biggest difference for me. I’m sleeping much more deeply and waking up feeling truly rested.

I also finally understand why I crave carbohydrates more during certain phases of my cycle.

I’ve learned to eat less, pay much closer attention to my macronutrients, and apply everything I’ve learned more intentionally in my daily life.

Overall, I simply feel better in my own body.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

First of all, thank you so much for everything you’ve created.

It was such a pleasure to experience this journey alongside your wonderful energy.

I’m truly grateful for you.

İ.T.T.

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

This program made me feel completely at home.

It was a place where I genuinely felt I belonged and where I was truly happy to be.

Throughout the entire experience, I felt understood, supported, cared for, and never alone.

Most importantly, I got to know my hormones.

I finally understood the real reasons behind the changes I’ve experienced over the years. So many things I’d previously blamed on other causes were, in fact, partly—or entirely—connected to my hormones.

I learned how to support them, care for them, and treat them with the attention they deserve.

When the program began, I wasn’t starting from zero. I already shared many of its values and goals.

But it gave me the knowledge and confidence to continue this journey with far greater awareness and understanding.

In short, I’d say it marked the beginning of creating a new version of myself.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

The biggest change is that I feel calmer and more balanced.

Physically, my bloating has decreased significantly, and I feel lighter, stronger, and much more comfortable in my body.

For me, this was an incredibly intensive learning experience.

I took notes during every live session, rewatched the recordings to make sure I hadn’t missed anything, and copied many of the educational materials into my own notebook so I could keep revisiting them.

I’m even planning to have the recipes and educational materials professionally bound into separate booklets and keep them in a special place in my kitchen.

For the first time, I also included my husband in one of your programs.

I shared everything I was learning with him and adapted the recipes so we could enjoy the same meals instead of cooking separately.

Without even realizing it, I brought him along on this healthy living journey as well.

Now we go on walks together and are taking meaningful steps toward healthy aging as a team.

This experience reminded me how important it is to live intentionally and stay organized.

More importantly, I realized that I need to prioritize myself—my emotions, well-being, health, nutrition, and movement—above everything else.

I also learned that even the smallest habits, when practiced consistently, can make an enormous difference to my health over time.

That’s why I call this journey the process of creating a new version of myself.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

There are certain people in life whom we always remember with the words,

“I’m so grateful our paths crossed.”

You are one of those people for me.

I’m grateful that you chose this profession.

I’m grateful that you have the passion and determination to share everything you’ve learned with us.

And I’m grateful that I became part of this program.

I know one thing for certain:

I will never be the same person again.

I’ve experienced such a profound sense of awakening, self-discovery, and belonging that I’m entering this new chapter of my life with greater awareness, stronger motivation, and a much deeper commitment to caring for myself.

F.B.

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

I truly enjoyed every part of this program.

Choosing to invest in my own health this way was one of the best decisions I’ve made.

Although I’ve generally eaten a healthy diet for years, I live with Hashimoto’s disease and eczema.

My menstrual cycle has always been regular, but I used to experience noticeable emotional ups and downs before my period.

Thanks to this program, I saw a significant improvement in my premenstrual mood.

Because the program began at the start of my cycle, it was easy for me to follow the recommendations from day one.

I completed an entire cycle during the program and even reached my next period before it ended.

One of the biggest surprises was my latest TSH blood test.

Even after adjusting my thyroid medication, my results improved.

I also lost 2 kilograms, my bloating disappeared, and overall I felt noticeably better—both physically and emotionally.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

Even though I’ve always been slim, the stubborn lower belly I’d struggled with disappeared completely.

My bloating is gone, and I lost another 2 kilograms.

The program was incredibly educational.

Because of everything I’ve learned, I now pay much closer attention—not only to what I eat, but also when I eat it.

I also make a point of sharing what I’ve learned whenever the opportunity arises, because I believe this knowledge deserves to be shared.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

Please continue educating and helping people, Sema.

The knowledge and guidance you’ve shared are truly invaluable.

Everything I learned throughout this program has made a meaningful difference in both my physical and emotional well-being.

I genuinely enjoy recommending this experience to others.

Thank you for your constant encouragement, support, and inspiring approach.

G.Y.

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

The program gave me incredibly valuable insights into the female body and hormonal health.

The concept of eating and living in alignment with my hormonal cycle, in particular, completely changed the way I look at my health.

It also helped me realize that I’m entering perimenopause.

Since then, I’ve started gradually putting what I’ve learned into practice.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

The educational content was exceptionally rich.

I printed almost every document as soon as it arrived in my inbox and studied them carefully, highlighting and taking notes. I’m also eagerly looking forward to the day you publish a book dedicated to these topics.

I’ve become much more intentional about eating according to my cycle.

For example:

• During my Power Phase, I now prioritize fermented foods and meals rich in protein and healthy fats.
• During my Calm Phase, I naturally include more carbohydrates.

I haven’t calculated every macro perfectly yet, but I now have a clear framework in my mind.

I’m only just beginning to fully implement everything, and once I’ve had more time, I’d love to share the changes I experience.

My awareness of environmental toxins has increased dramatically.

I’ve started doing the lymphatic massage every single day—and I even taught my eighty-year-old grandmother while she was visiting us. She does it every day now too! 😊

I immediately switched to a healthier menstrual pad brand.

I’ve also started replacing my household cleaning products with non-toxic alternatives.

Another major change has been adjusting my physical activity according to my cycle.

I can finally understand why there are certain phases when I simply can’t run or stretch as well as I want to.

One of my biggest concerns had been my six-year-old daughter’s love of cow’s milk.

She enjoyed it so much that I never had the courage to reduce it.

After learning about dairy from you, I finally felt confident enough to make that change.

I explained everything to her, and together we decided to stop drinking milk every day.

Now she only has it on weekends…

We’re taking it one step at a time. 😊

I also printed your summary charts and pinned them to the wall above my desk.

My husband has ended up learning from them too!

Now he knows whether I’m in my Power Phase or my Calm Phase without even asking. 😊

Perhaps my biggest realization was this:

If women’s bodies naturally function differently throughout the month, shouldn’t the way we build habits and structure our work reflect that too?

Many of today’s bestselling productivity experts are men, and I often found myself resisting some of their advice without fully understanding why.

For example, in Atomic Habits, the advice is to “never miss twice” and to do the same habit every single day, no matter what.

I’ve realized that approach simply doesn’t honor the reality of a woman’s hormonal cycle.

Now that I’m building habits in a way that works with my body instead of against it, I feel far more productive—and I no longer feel guilty for not following those conventional methods perfectly.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

I loved everything I learned.

I wish every woman—and every young girl—could learn these things.

I’ve already recommended the program to all of my close friends.

I wasn’t able to attend the live sessions in real time, but I watched every replay.

More than once, actually.

Your energy came through every single time.

Thank you so much for everything.

B.E.R.

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

I’ve loved every program I’ve taken with you, but I think this one holds a special place in my heart.

Perhaps I was simply more ready to receive the information, but everything—from nutrition and exercise to stress management—resonated with me on a much deeper level.

I especially loved learning how nutrition changes throughout the different phases of the menstrual cycle.

It actually made healthy living feel exciting.

Your live sessions and daily emails kept me motivated throughout the entire month.

I even printed your summary graphics and hung them on my kitchen cabinets—they’ve become a conversation starter for everyone at home!

Overall, the program helped me tremendously.

For the first time, I didn’t experience my usual premenstrual headaches.

Although I still have a few PMS symptoms, I’m confident they’ll continue improving over the next few cycles.

One of the most emotional moments for me was thinking about my mother, who has dementia, and reflecting on what she may have experienced during perimenopause and menopause.

That became one of my greatest motivations to continue this journey.

Thank you for approaching these topics through the lens of hormonal health.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

Physically, I wake up feeling much more refreshed.

I haven’t been tracking my weight closely, but my pants fit a little looser around the waist.

Most importantly, I didn’t experience my usual premenstrual headaches.

I’ve also started a functional strength training program and now adjust my training weights according to my hormonal cycle.

Mentally, I understand myself much better.

I used to feel guilty whenever I couldn’t work at the same level of productivity every day.

Now I understand that it’s not only psychological—it’s also physiological.

That realization has dramatically reduced the pressure I used to put on myself at work.

As I mentioned before, I also explained hormonal health to my daughter.

Now every morning we hug each other and say,

“Let’s boost our oxytocin!” 😊

On Sundays, I prepare ingredients for the week ahead.

For example, I cook chickpeas and lentils for my “Hormone Feast” meals and freeze them, so I can simply add a handful to my breakfast salad whenever I feel like it.

I also take a lunchbox to work every day now.

And there’s one more funny change.

Ever since I joined my very first program with you, whenever I’d meet friends they’d always ask,

“Wait… you can’t eat that either?”

During this program, I started answering by listing everything I can eat.

The list was so long that eventually…

they stopped asking altogether. 😊

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

Thank you so much for all your hard work.

For a long time, I’ve been frustrated that mainstream medicine has so often failed women in such an important area of health.

Thanks to you, I finally feel enlightened.

I’m incredibly excited about the new platform.

Knowing how much social support influences my own success, I truly can’t wait.

And one little confession…

During the program, my six-year-old son made focaccia at school.

There was absolutely no way I wasn’t going to taste it.

So I did.

Just one bite.

It was delicious.

And one bite was enough. 😊

A.E.

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

I joined this program during perimenopause.

Because I’d previously completed your Elimination Program, I already had a solid foundation.

I struggled a little during the first week to reach my daily protein goals, but after that, everything became surprisingly easy.

At the end of the first month I actually thought,

“Wait… that’s it?”

I’d built it up in my mind to be much more difficult!

Beyond nutrition, practices like lymphatic massage and castor oil therapy made the program feel truly holistic.

Most importantly, it helped me realize that I’m not the only woman experiencing irregular cycles and all the changes that come with them.

The session you hosted with your husband also encouraged us to rethink many aspects of life beyond health.

The live Q&A sessions, your warm and thoughtful responses, and the care you took in answering my emails all made me feel like I truly belonged.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

The program began on the first day of my period, so the timing couldn’t have been more perfect.

Lately, my menstrual cycles had been getting shorter and shorter, which had been worrying me.

Then, just as the program ended…

For the first time in months, my period arrived exactly on Day 28.

I was so happy.

I remember thinking,

“So it really is possible.”

That experience motivated me to continue eating this way for at least another three months.

The best part, though, was seeing my family’s attitude change.

As they noticed the improvements in me, their skepticism disappeared.

Now they even support me with simple things like buying more vegetables when we go grocery shopping together.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

Thank you—to you, to your wonderfully patient assistant Tuğçe, and to your husband—for all your support.

I sincerely hope you’re able to touch the lives of many more women, just as you’ve touched mine.

Ö.O.

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

The program was absolutely wonderful.

Thank you for sharing all of this knowledge with us in such a holistic, practical, and easy-to-understand way—and always with so much love.

I already had a good foundation in nutrition, but going through this journey together, understanding hormones, and truly learning what we were doing, why we were doing it, and how it all worked made the experience so much more meaningful.

Knowing that someone was always there to guide us whenever we struggled made all the difference.

Feeling supported—and never alone—was priceless.

Thank you endlessly for this incredible program.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

I lost weight—which was a wonderful bonus! 😊

More importantly, I’ve become even more knowledgeable and aware.

For all 28 days, I followed the program consistently—even while traveling by plane.

I didn’t break the routine once.

My cravings for coffee and sugar have decreased dramatically.

I’ve been trying to make exercise a consistent habit for the past two years, with plenty of ups and downs.

Now I feel more motivated than ever to make movement a permanent part of my daily life.

The same goes for the lymphatic massage.

I joined this program during one of the most turbulent periods of my hormonal health.

At the same time, I was seeing four or five different doctors, undergoing countless blood tests, and starting herbal treatments, ozone therapy, cupping therapy, and several other interventions.

So in many ways, this month has been a complete transformation.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

The launch of your community platform made me incredibly happy.

Thank you so much.

Receiving your emails every day and being part of such a supportive group kept me motivated throughout the program.

I was genuinely sad when it ended.

I love you. ❤️

D.U.A.

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

The program was absolutely incredible.

For the first time in my life, I truly feel like I’ve gotten to know my own body.

I understand it better now. I can hear what it needs.

I’m much more aware of hormonal changes—not only in myself but also in my friends—and I find it much easier to understand the root causes behind many health issues.

I’ve come to realize that, in the end, so many roads lead back to nutrition.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

As one of the very first participants of the 6 cm and DKYY programs, I’d already established a healthy way of eating with your guidance.

Honestly, I didn’t think nutrition could get any better than that.

Then Kız Gibi came along…

…and I learned just how precious my hormones are—my dear hormones—and how much love, care, and compassion they truly deserve.

By eating in harmony with my hormonal cycle, I’ve practically eliminated my premenstrual symptoms.

I’ve never had severe PMS, but I used to experience fatigue, increased appetite, and cramps on the first day of my period.

Managing my appetite during that time was always the hardest part, even though I stayed committed to healthy eating.

Now I’ve learned that giving my body exactly what it needs is actually much easier than I ever imagined.

I finally understand its language.

During my very first menstrual cycle after starting the Kız Gibi program, I honestly had to double-check that my period had actually started.

I didn’t experience a single moment of pain.

Beyond that, I feel more knowledgeable, calmer, and much more at peace.

Thanks to you, I’ve finally broken free from the endless cycle of dieting and diet-related stress that I’d lived with for years.

For the first time, I feel truly free.

And now, when I nourish myself, I feel like I’m nourishing my cells, not just filling my stomach.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

Everything began with 6 cm.

Over these past ten months, through everything I’ve learned from you, I honestly feel as though I’ve grown by ten years.

I’m incredibly proud and grateful to be a student of Sema Özpekmezci’s Healthy Living School.

If I had to name the two best things I’ve ever done for my health, they would be:

1. Never starting smoking.
2. Meeting you.

I can’t wait to move on to the next level as one of your students.

Please… give us an Advanced Kız Gibi program! 😊

S.C.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

Physically, I’ve become leaner, and my digestion has started functioning much better.

From an educational perspective, I’ve learned how everything we do—or don’t do—affects our hormonal balance.

Behaviorally, I’ve learned how to create a way of eating that’s tailored specifically to my own body.

I’ve removed many toxic products from my daily life.

I’ve also made daily walks a consistent habit.

Whenever I’m feeling discouraged, I find myself thinking,

“What would Sema say right now?”

…and somehow, I pull myself together.

You came into my life like a miracle.

You didn’t just transform the way I think about nutrition—you also introduced me to yoga and self-mastery.

I’m so grateful you exist, and I’m incredibly thankful that our paths crossed.

Z.D.

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

The program was flawless.

Of course it transformed the way I eat and live more consciously, but beyond that, I honestly feel as though I’ve completed a comprehensive health education.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

I didn’t join the program with a specific physical goal.

However, the bloating that had been bothering me disappeared completely, leaving me feeling incredibly light.

My sleep has improved dramatically.

I’ve also added tongue scraping and oil pulling to my morning routine.

As our household cleaning products run out, we’re gradually replacing every chemical product with natural alternatives.

Cosmetics are next on my list!

Nutrition has become more hopeful than ever before because this approach is so practical—and the benefits are noticeable almost immediately.

The program has been incredibly healing for both my body and my mind.

Understanding what’s happening in both my body and my emotions during each phase of my cycle has helped me approach myself with much more compassion.

And that’s been truly life-changing.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

Of course, this is your profession.

But it’s rare to meet someone who approaches their work with so much passion and such a genuine desire to help others.

Thank you so very much.

M.Ö.

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

Just like your previous programs, this one was incredibly valuable.

It arrived at exactly the right time, as I was struggling to lose weight while dealing with hormonal imbalances and high stress.

I’d already been eating gluten-free and sugar-free for quite a while, and I’d also completed your 6 cm program.

Still, there were certain times each month when everything felt much harder.

Finally understanding why those periods were difficult—and what my body actually needed during them—was an enormous relief.

For the first time, I moved through an entire cycle without forcing myself or fighting against my body.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

I’ve already been eating clean, but the stress management lessons were especially transformative for me.

I’ve broken the cycle of high stress leading to overeating and replaced it with a new cycle:

healthy eating leading to greater resilience to stress. 😊

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

I adore you.

You are truly invaluable.

I’m counting down the days until our retreat together.

İ.K.T.

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

This program created an incredible level of awareness for me.

First of all, thank you for sharing all of this knowledge with us.

You’re helping women reconnect with themselves and make peace with their own bodies.

My biggest wish is for every woman to learn these things, and for all of us to spread this knowledge as widely as possible.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

I’ve successfully lost 7 kilograms in a healthy way—without losing muscle mass.

I’m still continuing with Pilates.

I’m 57 years old, and I couldn’t be happier.

Thank you.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

As I mentioned above, thank you again—to you and to Tuğçe.

I’m so grateful for both of you.

F.K.A.

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

Just like your previous programs, this one was absolutely wonderful.

My premenstrual headaches and abdominal pain have decreased dramatically.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

I’ve been sharing everything I’ve learned from you with my friends and trying to support them as well.

One thing you said has stayed with me ever since:

“What you experience before your period is not normal—don’t normalize it.”

That sentence deeply impacted me and completely changed my perspective.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

I’m so grateful that our paths crossed.

Thank you.

B.A.

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

I joined the Kız Gibi program without really knowing what to expect. 😊

Looking back, I’m so glad I did.

I’m 49 years old and still have regular menstrual cycles. I became a mother at 41.

Throughout the program, I kept thinking,

“I wish I’d known all of this years ago.”

So much has been happening inside my beautiful body all this time—and I had no idea.

I attended every live session because not only do you explain everything so beautifully, but your energy genuinely motivates me to nourish myself better and take better care of myself.

For the first ten days, I couldn’t fully concentrate on the program, but when my period started, I sat down with my notebook, wrote everything out, and organized all my notes.

I’m an old-school, pen-and-paper kind of person. 😊

I even created my own charts before Tuğçe shared the summary guides—which made everything even easier.

Now that I understand the core principles, I’m confidently continuing on my own.

I think it was about ten years ago that Dr. Canan Karatay first influenced the way I think about nutrition, and then you came into my life.

I actually discovered you through Instagram and attended one of your cooking workshops years ago—I can’t even remember when!

For many years now, I’ve naturally eaten only two meals a day, finishing dinner around 6:30 p.m. and not eating again until around 8:30 or 9:00 the next morning.

Without realizing it, I’d already been practicing long fasting periods.

Now, after the Kız Gibi program, I’m learning to adjust those fasting windows according to my hormonal cycle.

(I haven’t mastered it completely yet, but I know it’ll become second nature over time.)

After completing your Eliminasyondayım Farkındayım program back in 2022, breakfast salads became a permanent part of my life.

Even today, whenever my first meal is a breakfast salad, I don’t experience cravings later in the day.

Of course, there are times when I slip off track.

But I always remember what you say:

“One imperfect meal doesn’t ruin the day.”

So instead of giving up, I simply make a better choice at my next meal.

I live in Italy, so of course we occasionally eat out…

…and yes, I eat pasta—because it’s absolutely delicious here! 😊

I simply get back on track the following day.

Since completing the Elimination Program, I’ve also become much more mindful about alcohol.

Now I only have a single glass when we’re out.

(We used to share wine together at home too.)

Once you become truly aware of how your body works, it’s impossible to go back to old habits.

From now on, I definitely won’t drink alcohol around ovulation.

Exercise-wise, I’d already had a short daily routine of about 10–15 minutes.

Now I understand the importance of building muscle, so I’m adding more strength training.

We’re even planning to buy a trampoline for the house!

My daughter’s swimming coach actually recommended the exact same thing.

Apparently, we all need one. 😊

Walking is simply part of everyday life here, so we naturally walk a lot.

And as I’ve become more aware, our entire family’s meals have changed too.

My husband and daughter are benefiting alongside me.

My daughter is eight years old, and she’s already far more conscious about nutrition than most children her age.

She often tells me about the snacks her classmates bring to school, and honestly…

it’s heartbreaking.

So, Sema…

In short, everything is going wonderfully.

This program has been incredibly valuable for me.

Thank you.

I’m so grateful you exist.

S.E.

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

It felt as though I’d made a wish:

“I want to understand everything that’s happening inside my body so I can support it in the best possible way.”

And somehow…

that wish came true.

Every stage of the process—its causes, how it develops, and its outcomes—was explained in a way that made perfect sense to my analytical mind.

More importantly, I was given practical tools to support myself.

That brought me enormous peace of mind because I already knew that if I didn’t learn how to support myself, this journey would be much more difficult.

Now I understand exactly what my hormones need on every single day of the month—and why.

I understand the science behind it.

Because of that, nourishing myself, managing my emotions, choosing the right movement, and building supportive daily routines have all become so much easier.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

I feel more energetic, stronger, and more like myself.

Perhaps the greatest gift is the confidence that comes from feeling capable of taking control during what once felt like an uncertain and intimidating phase of life.

My thoughts, emotions, and behaviors have all become much clearer.

The amount I’ve learned is enormous.

Now I understand how every bite of food I eat—and even every thought I allow into my mind—creates a ripple effect inside my body.

That awareness gives me a choice.

If I choose to support myself, everything I need to do has already been laid out like a prescription.

The only remaining decision is whether I choose to follow it.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

Ever since your very first programs, you’ve always led with education first—believing that people who heal themselves will naturally help heal others.

I think this program represents the highest expression of that mission.

You took something that many people see as an overwhelming, mysterious mountain—surrounded by myths and misinformation—and showed us that it’s actually a natural process.

More importantly, you showed us that our daily choices can either work against it… or support it.

You made something that once seemed difficult feel wonderfully simple.

I sincerely hope your path continues to unfold with the same ease and grace you’ve created for so many of us.

E.A.

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

Simply put…

It was outstanding.

In the middle of busy workdays, your emails would appear in my inbox like little moments of meditation.

Every new piece of knowledge felt like a force gently carrying me back toward a younger, healthier version of myself.

I’m 61 years old, and it almost feels as though my body resisted change for an entire month…

…until finally, in these last few days, something shifted.

I’ve lost 2 kilograms.

More importantly, I feel emotionally rested and far more confident in myself.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

My body has started feeling toned and balanced again.

So many scattered pieces of information I’d collected over the years have finally come together.

I stand taller now.

I walk with confidence.

And I carry myself differently.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

It’s impossible not to feel your passion for both learning and teaching.

Your energy is so powerful that it naturally spreads to everyone around you.

For years, I never truly paid attention to how the foods I ate affected my body.

This program took me back to my childhood and teenage years.

Back then, no one could make me eat something I didn’t want.

I was naturally slim because I instinctively understood what felt good in my body.

This program helped me remember that girl.

And now…

I’m ready not to forget her again.

You helped me become ready.

Anonymous Testimonial

I’ve been following your Kız Gibi program to the letter for the past month.

The main reason I joined was because I had been waking up in the middle of the night and wandering around the house until morning. I’d been struggling with this for nine months, and nothing seemed to help.

I’m not in perimenopause yet, but I could feel that my estrogen levels were declining.

Now?

I sleep through the entire night like a baby.

In fact, just one week after I started eating according to my hormonal cycle, I stopped waking up at night altogether.

On top of that, over the course of this month I’ve lost 5 kg (11 lbs) and I wake up feeling incredibly energized.

The funny thing is, I used to think I was already eating healthy.

This program has genuinely made me feel younger.

Whenever I meet up with friends, they tell me,

“You’re glowing.”

They notice how much energy I have.

I tell everyone about you and this incredible program.

Thank you so much.

I truly hope you’re able to reach many, many more women.

Z.E.A.

Kız Gibi truly lives up to its name.

As someone with a history of breast cancer and estrogen dominance, I gained invaluable knowledge about how to bring my hormones back into balance.

I honestly don’t think all of this could have been taught from a more compassionate place.

Having tried countless diets and learned from many different experts over the years, I can confidently say that I’ve never experienced a system that was this easy to follow.

The reason is simple:

You’ve genuinely integrated these principles into your own life, and you’re able to empathize with every woman in front of you.

We’re not listening to someone reciting theories.

We’re learning from a real woman who’s lived this journey herself—and that creates tremendous trust.

Personally, I can’t thank you enough.

This program answered so many questions I’d been carrying for years.

S.Ö.

Thank you so much for all the effort, generosity, and dedication you’ve poured into creating such an information-rich yet incredibly easy-to-understand program.

I never realized how little we actually knew about our own bodies and hormones.

So many things we’ve always been told are “normal” or “natural” turned out to be misconceptions.

I only wish I’d learned all of this much earlier.

But as we say,

better late than never.

Every live session with you became precious time that I dedicated to myself.

At a particularly difficult period in my life, your energy lifted me up.

I’ve printed every single document you shared.

Honestly, they deserve to be professionally bound into a book.

The amount of valuable information you’ve given us is extraordinary.

Thank you again for creating such a comprehensive, multidimensional, and accessible program.

It’s obvious how much work you’ve invested.

I truly can’t imagine anyone else explaining this subject so clearly while also sharing their own personal experiences with such sincerity.

I genuinely believe I’ve made a major investment in my future health.

I sincerely hope you reach enormous numbers of women so that all of us can finally learn how to live “like a girl”—with knowledge, understanding, and confidence.

G.Ü.

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

I genuinely loved this program.

We learned so much—not just about nutrition, but about every aspect of living a healthier life.

Thank you.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

I didn’t join the program to lose weight.

Even so, simply by eating healthier, I lost 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs) and became noticeably leaner.

I’m currently in perimenopause, and one of my biggest struggles was brain fog, especially at night.

I’ve experienced a very noticeable improvement.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

Sema, I truly love you.

You’re an incredible source of inspiration for me.

From now on, I want to continue choosing a healthier life by following everything you’ve taught me.

Thank you so much.

E.M.

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

First of all, I can’t even describe how happy I was to be part of this program.

After continuing the eating habits I built through the DKYY program, adding these new principles has made me feel even better.

I was born in October 1978.

Although my menstrual cycles are still regular, I’d been noticing changes happening in my body, and I wanted to understand exactly what they meant.

This program gave me that understanding.

There were moments while reading through the materials when I literally thought,

“Finally—we’re learning how our own anatomy works!”

That realization made me so happy.

Now I feel much more prepared for the years ahead.

It’s as if someone handed me the keys, and suddenly I feel ready for whatever life brings next.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

One of my favorite additions to this program was…

potatoes during the calm phase! 😄

Overall, my body felt much more comfortable throughout the month.

Even my menstrual flow felt more fluid—almost like it did in my twenties.

In recent years I’d noticed it becoming thicker, but this month that didn’t happen.

Now I’m especially excited to see what changes continue as I keep following the program.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

I’m one of your loyal followers.

Last year I joined almost all of your programs, and I was absolutely thrilled to be part of this one too.

Congratulations on creating such a fantastic program.

The structure, the details, and the scientific information were outstanding.

I’ll be recommending it to everyone I know, and I’m eagerly looking forward to the new community platform.

I.M.

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

The program was packed with information—but every bit of it was incredibly valuable.

These are truly lifelong lessons.

Thank you for everything.

Because I’d already completed the 6 cm program, adapting to the nutrition plan was much easier this time.

In fact, I went through the transition without experiencing any headaches.

Surprisingly, I found this way of eating—even during the hormone celebration phase—easier to adapt to than the ketobiotic approach.

Throughout the program I completely avoided cheese and yogurt.

As someone who absolutely loves dairy, that definitely wasn’t easy…

…yet I still haven’t gone back to eating them.

Meditation was already something I’d been trying to practice, and now I make sure to spend at least ten minutes doing it every day.

The lymphatic massage turned out to be the cherry on top.

Doing it before bed helps me sleep much more deeply, and it’s become one of my favorite parts of my evening routine.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

I’ve lost around 2 kg (4.4 lbs), but more importantly, I’ve become noticeably leaner in terms of body measurements. I can finally fit back into pants that I haven’t been able to wear for three to four years.

That said, I’ve also been exercising consistently over the past two months. Running has always been part of my routine, but I’ve added walking and cycling as well, and I also practice yoga at home from time to time.

This cycle, my period arrived four days late, but it was incredibly comfortable. It was lighter than usual but lasted a little longer. I had no headaches, no cramps, and it passed so easily that I barely noticed it.

I also experienced virtually no PMS.

Compared to before, I feel much calmer, and my emotional outbursts have disappeared.

It’s become clear to me that we really do need to organize our lifestyles around our hormonal cycles.

Thank you!

M.D.

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

The information in this program was incredibly comprehensive and valuable.

It wasn’t just about nutrition. Learning how to optimize every aspect of our lives for our own well-being—and then actually putting those lessons into practice—has helped me improve my health while also giving me tremendous motivation.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

Compared to when I started, I feel much lighter and far more energetic.

My sleep quality has improved significantly.

I no longer get hungry as quickly, and I wake up feeling much more refreshed in the mornings.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting such a thorough and information-packed program.

Knowing that I can continue this journey through your new platform has increased my motivation even more.

Thank you so much for that.

Ç.A.

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

This program was incredibly educational.

At times I found myself thinking,

“Why am I only learning all of this after turning forty?”

But better late than never.

I’m going to raise my two daughters with this knowledge and guide them accordingly.

Thank you so much.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

The feeling of,

“I deserve something sweet during my period, and of course I’m going to eat it,”

has become much less intense.

The craving still appears sometimes, but now I can gently remind myself,

“Actually… that’s not how it works.” 😊

My weight hasn’t changed, but my husband keeps telling me that I look slimmer.

I’ll take his word for it!

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

I also participated in your very first 6 cm program.

I truly believe everyone should have access to this knowledge.

Changing the way we think about food is a long and challenging process.

Thank you for being there, holding our hands throughout the journey.

D.B.

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

This was the third program I’ve taken with you, and like the others, it was outstanding.

Honestly, it felt like an entire three-month course condensed into one month.

At one point I even panicked because there was so much information! 😊

Four years ago, when I first realized,

“My body doesn’t feel like it’s under my control,”

I began researching hormones.

Reading Hormones and Menopause by Dr. Mustafa Atasoy gave me my first major breakthrough.

As you’ve also said, information is easy to find.

The difficult part is connecting all the pieces, understanding your own experiences, and knowing how to apply everything in daily life.

That’s exactly where this program helped me the most.

Of course, turning this much theory into everyday practice will take time, but now I have a clear roadmap.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

My primary goal when I joined was to permanently solve my weight issues while learning how to eat according to my age and hormonal stage.

I lost 2 kg (4.4 lbs).

During the ketobiotic phase, my digestion improved dramatically and my energy levels were excellent.

I experienced a few headaches, although I’m not entirely sure they were related.

The biggest educational takeaway for me was learning how to calculate my macronutrients.

It honestly feels like the foundation of nutrition—the very first thing everyone should learn.

Even though I’ve been trying to eat healthy for years, I realized I’d been making several mistakes:

• Not eating enough protein
• Assuming “healthy” foods didn’t require portion control
• Adding milk to my coffee every day
• Using olive oil without measuring it

Now I drink my coffee either black or with plant-based milk—which is practically a miracle for me because it happened almost effortlessly.

Cheese is the only thing I still haven’t fully given up. 😊

Learning that exercise should change throughout the different phases of the cycle—and realizing how high my toxic load has been—are the next areas I’ll be working on.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

Since becoming interested in functional medicine, my blood tests have consistently shown elevated cortisol, LDL cholesterol, and insulin.

With the guidance of Dr. Baybars Türel, I managed to lower my insulin naturally, without medication.

I also completed treatment for SIBO.

However, my cholesterol and cortisol—thought to be related more to stress or genetics than nutrition—have remained elevated.

Apparently, they’re connected as well.

During my mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) training, I lost 10 kg (22 lbs) simply by exercising consistently while keeping the same diet.

My entire focus was mindfulness and meditation.

Looking back, I believe lowering my cortisol played a major role.

Unfortunately, I eventually gained all the weight back.

Through you, I’ve learned so much—not only about healthy nutrition, but also about mindfulness, meditation, and hormones.

I have enormous respect for people like you who transform their own healing journeys into something that heals others.

Your warmth and sincerity make it feel as though we’ve known each other for years.

As my circumstances allow, I absolutely plan to continue joining your future programs.

Thank you for everything.

I’m so grateful you exist.

D.K.

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

This program exceeded every expectation I had.

I had started believing,

“It’s too late for me.”

Instead, I discovered that it absolutely isn’t.

Realizing how much I can still do for myself made me incredibly happy.

I couldn’t send my feedback immediately because I wanted to give myself time to really test everything I’d learned.

Now I can confidently say that I’ve absorbed the program.

Tracking my cycle and adjusting my nutrition accordingly has turned out to be surprisingly easy.

I know this isn’t just a temporary program.

This is how I want to live from now on.

And even when I occasionally fall off track, I no longer see it as failure.

I know exactly how to find my way back.

In fact, the digestive discomfort I experience whenever I stray is enough motivation to return almost immediately.

What physical, knowledge-based, and behavioral changes have you noticed over the past month?

For the first time, changing the way I eat hasn’t brought the depression I used to experience with traditional diets.

I’ve learned that movement is my friend—not my punishment.

Knowing that every workout is an investment in my future self makes me genuinely excited to stay active.

My eating routine has naturally organized my cooking routine…

…which has organized my grocery shopping…

…and now I no longer stress over wondering,

“What am I going to eat today?”

Bringing prepared meals with me has also made eating well outside the home much easier.

One of the biggest gifts of this program, however, involves my two daughters, who have just entered puberty.

Because of everything I’ve learned, I know they won’t have to sacrifice their future health through lack of knowledge.

I’m already sharing these concepts with them in ways they can understand, and I truly hope they’ll develop this awareness from a young age.

Three-Month Update

I’m now experiencing my third menstrual cycle since the program began.

The intense depression I used to experience before my period has become incredibly mild.

In fact, when my period started today, I caught myself thinking,

“Oh… I didn’t even realize it was coming.” 😊

I’ve been making a real effort to integrate meditation into my life, especially during the calm phase.

I’ve done everything I can to keep cortisol from interfering with my progesterone.

Even though I’m currently going through a stressful period in my life, I’ve noticed a remarkable improvement in my sleep.

Normally stress would wake me during the night, and I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep again.

That simply hasn’t happened.

Eating according to my cycle has become much easier.

One unexpected benefit is that we now always have healthy, prepared meals available at home.

Planning my grocery shopping and meal preparation has completely eliminated the stress of wondering what to cook.

Adding more vegetables to our meals has positively influenced my children’s eating habits as well.

I’m also gradually replacing my cosmetics with cleaner alternatives.

Overall, my lifestyle is changing naturally—

without panic…

without guilt…

and without feeling overwhelmed.

Thank you once again for everything.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

Despite your incredibly busy schedule, you delivered far more than you originally promised.

This program has been genuinely life-changing.

Your positive energy reached us across hundreds of kilometers.

Simply saying “thank you” doesn’t feel like enough.

I’m so grateful you exist, that you chose this path, and that you’ve decided to share it with all of us.

H.A.

I started the program a little later than everyone else, so I wanted to wait until I’d completed an entire cycle before sharing my experience.

Honestly, I didn’t expect to notice such a significant difference after just one month.

I assumed it would take several months before anything changed.

Thanks to you, I had an incredibly comfortable cycle right from the beginning.

I’ve realized how important it is to truly understand our bodies—why we experience certain emotions, and what’s happening inside us at each stage.

My biggest challenge had always been the calm phase of my cycle.

I eventually realized that I simply wasn’t eating enough carbohydrates during that time.

Because I’m also an athlete, I was burning far more energy than I was replacing.

Once I adjusted my nutrition accordingly, I experienced an amazing improvement—even in the very first month.

Thank you so much.

This program wasn’t only about nutrition.

Everything you shared—from lifestyle habits to the way we think—has been incredibly valuable.

It was a truly wonderful program.

Thank you for everything.

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

I’m a 42-year-old woman who has been living with hypothyroidism and perimenopausal symptoms for nearly 10 years, with the past two years being especially difficult. The reason I joined your program was because I already knew you had been advocating for and practicing a holistic lifestyle for many years—something I deeply believe in myself. I trusted that I would find reliable, evidence-based information connecting this lifestyle with hormonal health.

Throughout the program, everything I had read over the years, experienced personally, and heard from doctors finally came together through your explanations. I gained a much deeper understanding of what has been happening in my body. Once I learned how to eat according to my cycle, everything became much easier. The macro guidelines and recipes were also an incredible bonus. I also thought the sequence in which you presented the material was very well designed.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to follow the program with perfect consistency. Even so, I ended up losing the weight I had suddenly gained over the summer without even realizing how. My next goal is to build a consistent strength-training habit because I now understand that yoga alone isn’t enough, especially since my bone density scan last year showed the early stages of moderate bone loss.

What helped me the most was how clearly you explained each phase of the menstrual cycle. For the first time, I understood exactly which hormonal changes were behind the symptoms I had been experiencing. Thanks to this knowledge, I’m now working on supporting my body so I can navigate those difficult 10 or so days that I go through every month much more comfortably. I truly hope that, over time, I’ll be able to come back to you with an even bigger success story.

What physical, mental, or behavioral changes did you notice during this month?

Despite a few slip-ups, I lost 3 kg (about 6.6 lbs). More importantly, I’ve started facing my perimenopausal symptoms without fear or panic because I finally understand what is happening inside my body.

Is there anything else you’d like to add or tell me?

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with such genuine passion, generosity, and dedication. Sending you my warmest regards.
