I was sure I was going to leave this world in the summer of 2023. I visited our attorney and documented my passwords and pertinent information to manage my affairs. I'd been through several surgeries and was stuck in bed for weeks. I endured a week-long hospital stay, unable to eat, or take fluids. When my teenage daughter visited me in the hospital, I sobbed uncontrollably. There was no clear issue, no conclusive diagnosis. Just a lot of follow-up tests and different medicines to try. I'd lost 20 pounds in a month.

My health had been in steady decline for years. I went from running daily and working full-time to spending most of my day in bed. In the spring of 2023 my appendix was removed. A few months later, my gall bladder was removed. I was in constant pain.

I could not stomach solid food. I could not do housework, talk, or stand for long periods, which I needed to do daily to care for my four children. Soon after my gall bladder surgery I was diagnosed with early-stage stomach cancer. I had chronic constipation, Lyme Disease, spinal degeneration, a mystery virus, and a dozen other ailments. I tried specialists, integrated medicine, hospitals, supplements and holistic doctors to no avail.

Thankfully, during my hospital stay, my mother-in-law recommended Russell Mariani. During month one of following Russell's program, I could eat full meals, something I hadn’t been able to do in a long time. Two months in, I noticed my energy picking up and the pain lessening. I started to become mobile again. Around that time I had the stomach cancer surgically removed with no need for chemo or radiation.

Three months in, ailments that had plagued me for years began to lessen or disappear altogether. No more dry skin, heart palpitations, or bags under my eyes. I looked younger and could walk and talk again without significant pain. At the four-month mark, I started noticing myself "forgetting" that I had been so sick and my weight returned to normal. A follow-up test in December confirmed that the stomach cancer had not returned.

During months five and six my fatigue lessened and the pain continued to decrease. I started doing things I had not been able to do. Work in the office, walk the dogs and visit with friends. I had significant improvements and full days without symptoms. I no longer felt hopeless or overwhelmed because of my health issues.

Thanks to Russell and his program, I am happier and more grounded than ever. I know I will eventually return to running again and being 100% back in action. I also have a tremendous appreciation and understanding of my body's ability to heal itself.

Russell solves complex health issues using first-principles thinking. He has taken the time to break down human health into foundational elements and question everything we know about each area. He teaches you how to live in a way that addresses each foundational element of your health. This allows your body to acquire what it needs to heal itself. It is transformative and long-lasting. Russell is incredibly genuine, thorough, attentive to detail and responsive.

The more you commit and engage with Russell, the faster you will achieve positive results. It is difficult to express how grateful I am to have the privilege of working with Russell. It’s been an incredible healing journey to say the least.
