Bonita's Story

I attended Dr. Fuhrman’s Immersion Program, provided by my employer Whole Foods Market, after reading all of his books. At that time I was eating a raw food vegan diet, exercising, had attended nutrition school, and was working as a Healthy Eating Specialist at a Whole Foods Market.  I came to the Immersion feeling this would just be another lecture that I had heard a thousand times before. Boy was I wrong.  At age 58 my version of a healthy lifestyle had me stuck between not getting results and feeling deprived.  I wanted to learn how to lower my high blood pressure and finally lose weight.
 
I can’t thank Dr. Fuhrman and his staff for always taking time to answer all my questions. I finally learned the difference between toxic hunger, true hunger and about food addiction. I was overeating and not allowing my body to get into the catabolic stage in order to burn fat. My blood pressure is now stable and I have lost 30 pounds (went from size 14 to size 10) since following the key components of the program.
 
This lifestyle is very doable. So enjoy the journey.  I am very grateful to work for Whole Foods Market, a company that truly cares about the health of their employees.
