Results
For the first time in her life she is very satisfied with the way and rate at which she has shed her toxic weight. She has high energy, hot flushes have not returned to haunt her, no more hunger sensation to overeat. She is enjoying her health journey and having a great time with the SHAPE Program. This is the only program that she has ever done where she has lost this much weight in less than a year and she was so pleased to see that even after the July 2018 Alaskan cruise she came back only to have gained 3.5 pounds at 237lbs (July 26, 2018). August 25, 2018 after getting back on track, she weighed at 225lbs!
Conclusion
We have still to do a follow–up body composition (at the patient’s discretion). She was quite disappointed when results of the latest medical imaging report revealed 2 new lung nodules and a new peritoneal nodule so there is a concern about the recurrence of the leiomyosarcoma of the uterus. Patient was reassured and advised that she is doing amazing and that her victory has been awesome! We could be dealing with some emotional “baggage” and need to discover why she is forming these nodules. She has no history of any physical or mental abuse and she has not disclosed any emotional traumas or incidents. Given this explanation, she reports having hope that no matter what the scan showed she will continue with the SHAPE program because she just feels so good on it! Her goal is to get to 150-160 lbs! I told her to set the date this year for her goal and I would meet her there!

Dr. Todd’s Teaching Assessment
On April 13th, at the launch of the book WTF? Why the Face (co-authored by Abbie Frisch Belliston and myself), Dr. Davis Brockenshire made this statement, “You cannot measure what you are preventing!” There’s undeniable truth in that statement! As those words filtered through the room that Saturday afternoon, I thought back to the birth of SHAPE ReClaimed. I built it for my menopausal wife, Linda. It was wonderfully effective and then all the miracles began to happen. Type 2 diabetes vanished. Autoimmune symptoms improved, infertility for many resolved, anxiety and depression lifted and on and on it goes. It soon became clear that the SHAPE Program was much more than a “weight loss program.” As they say, the rest is history.
Now go back to this patient’s chief complaint: Weight loss and cancer prevention. Her hot flashes stopped, she has high energy and she is no longer overeating. What about the cancer? You cannot measure what you are preventing. I am convinced SHAPE ReClaimed is a significant contributing factor to preventing disease. What won’t folks suffer from just by embracing a SHAPE lifestyle?
Great job from one of our great doctors, Dr. Coloma, in Canada. Thanks for coming to our WTF? Why the Face event in April!
