  • What if the secret to losing excess weight wasn’t in extreme fasting, a new diet, or excessive exercise? What if all you had to do was see it in your mind first?

    It was this mind-body practice that helped Jon completely transform his life and drop the huge amount of excess weight he was carrying. He was over 400 lbs, lacking energy, and seriously unhealthy. He tried diet after diet only to end up gaining more weight.
