Feeling Good From Inside Out

Local Women Who Tackled Detoxing Their Bodies While Finding New, Healthy Balances Through Non-Medical, Holistic Approach

Helping women feel, look and be better by finding healthy balances within themselves is the daily focus of Linda Barilani. As franchise owner of BeBalanced Hormone Weight Loss Center of West Chester, she says natural weight loss accompanied by better sleep, improved moods and increased energy is truly achievable. 

Linda says hormones can be balanced without using prescriptions or systemic therapy. “We guide clients in establishing a whole-foods diet that's combined with our proprietary, all-natural, hormone-balancing supplements, one-on-one coaching and relaxation tools to help them stress less and enjoy life more. We work with each client to come up with individual plans,” she adds.

Medical studies show more than 80% of Americans are struggling with a condition called leaky gut, which is caused by microscopic tears in the intestinal lining that cause seepage. The body views that bacteria as an invader and attacks it; this causes inflammation, which causes a myriad of problems. Leaky gut can be prompted from excessive stress, poor eating, hormonal imbalances, toxin overload, bacterial imbalance or genetic predisposition. Some symptoms are gas, bloating, indigestion, sinus problems, headaches and bowel issues. This condition can cause IBS, autoimmune diseases, celiac disease, esophageal cancer, allergies, respiratory infections and thyroid issues.

"Our program helps address food issues by using the AIP diet. We add in a probiotic that helps clean your intestines of excess bacteria, Intestamend to heal the intestines, a micellized vitamin D to build immunities backup and curcumin to help with inflammation. This is a comprehensive, 60-day program to heal leaky guts, and help you to feel and look fantastic," says Linda.

OTHER WOMEN SHARE, TOO

After Karin Hirsch put on 20 pounds in six months from stress eating, she says she wanted to celebrate her 48th birthday by looking younger and wearing certain dresses again. “I wanted to be a fit and slim wife to my husband and mom to my 5-year-old daughter.”

Karin says she succeeded with the BeBalanced approach because Linda supported her whenever needed. “It’s much easier if there’s a person watching over your progress then doing it all alone. There was just no other option then being disciplined,” she adds. “I felt much more energy along the way and slept great.”

Denise Rushing says she had tried everything to lose weight. “Nothing worked, post-menopause.  Balancing my hormones was absolutely key.”

“Based on previous attempts to lose weight, I honestly expected to again be disappointed. I’m so happy to report I was anything but disappointed. It was life-changing!” explains Denise.

“BeBalanced absolutely works, and I believe is the answer. Once you get started, the numbers speak for themselves,” she assures.

Gaining control both physically and emotionally due to menopausal symptoms is what Barb Swider expected to get from participating in the BeBalanced program. “Myself is what prompted me to do it...I’d gotten to a point in my life where change needed to happen.”

She says mood swings were minimized and she was able to address stressful situations typically in a much better manner.

Barb adds that the products and approach require planning and dedication, but in the long run, are “so very worth it.”

Losing the "COVID-15" weight gain plus 5 more pounds was the goal of Adrienne Mykofski. “But I crushed my goal!”

Adrienne says she loves everything about the BeBalanced program because it incorporates proper rest, meditation and self-care into the diet. “If you wait for the perfect time, you’re just postponing success. Just start,” she suggests. “No more self-limiting beliefs. If you follow this, it works. You can do anything for 28 days--and this is so worth it--28 days for a lifetime of health.”
