Good morning ladies. All right,we're gonna be talking about BE Balanced.
They have three locations, Murraysville,Wexford, and Cannonsburg. And the

(00:29):
reason Bonnie's here, she's been throughthe program. Yeah, I have define.
All right, We're gonna get herperspective at first. Kate tell us
everything we need to know about BEBalanced Hormone Weight Loss Center. Thank you,

We have three locations, Murraysville,Wexford, and Cannonsburg. Our mission
at b Balance is to provide aholistic approach to naturally addressing hormone and balances

(00:55):
to help our clients, help themfeel like themselves, help them feel better.
All right, So Bonnie, whatmade you go to BE Balanced?
Well, you know, I'm acancer survivor and so health is really really
important to me. And actually thisis my twenty year cancer versary launch.
I know, I know. SoI've had twenty years to try to deal
with this, and as you getolder, you know it's it's more of
a struggle. But you know,I've been working at it. And when

(01:17):
I heard that there was a hormonebalance program that was natural and not prescription,
then I wanted to really check itout. And so I went in
had the free consultation and like youguys get it, you know, they
got and it's all about and it'snot just about weight loss sol though I
did lose a bunch of weight inthe process, but it's about feeling better,
having more energy, being able toget rid of stress and inflammation.

(01:40):
That kind of stuff gets you ina better healthy position. And they have
the program for me. So thefoundation of the b balanced approach and programs
is that chronic stress can we havocon our hormones, and our hormones are
just little chemical messengers, right,and when they're off balance, everything's off
balance. So things like weight loss, of course, but also digestive health

(02:01):
and sleep and energy and mood,those are all impacted by whether or not
our bodies are operating the way theywere meant to, whether they're imbalance.
Who needs be balanced. Anyone whois struggling with weight, mood swings,
fatigue, cravings, or sleep issuesmay benefit from the program. Hormonal imbalances
can impact men as well as women. Okay, now, if somebody's interested

(02:23):
in the program, what's the process. The process is to go online to
be Balanced Centers dot com and scheduleyour free consultation with one of our specialists.
They will spend some time understanding yourneeds and goals, and they will
help define an approach that can helpyou personally. All right, Bonnie's gone
through the program. Yeah, sowhat made you join the program and what

(02:44):
kind of results did you see?Well, you know, as we're getting
older, and number one, youknow, I'm all about health and especially
the hormone thing because I don't thinkthat the regular medical doctors talk about it
enough. And I've had a lotof questions and I've gone to different interchnologists
and things like that. I'm like, come on, we got to get
this balanced out because I had mycancer was actually an estrogen hormone cancer too

(03:06):
much, So how do you getthat back in balance? So balance is
the major word. And so whenthey started talking about it's a natural process,
it's not about taking prescriptions to tryto get you figured out, and
I just I love the program.It's about gut health. Doctors will tell
you that gut health is really important. That's where everything starts. And then

(03:28):
we work with that. They workwith the program with me. We talked
about food sensitivities and along the way, I got better sleep, I started
getting more energy, cut inflammation,I lost a bunch of weight. I
am it's Johnny Hartwell, you know, I went out to a couple of
events the other day and I worea dress, and it's like for me
to wear a dress, it's likea really big deal. I never wore

(03:49):
dresses in the last thirty years.And I was like, I just feel
so much more energy and so muchbetter about myself because I'm eating better,
I'm getting rid of the inflammation,the joint pain. It's just it's metabolism
is everything. And so it allhappened through the program that we did the
last couple of months. It's ifyou were serious, You've got to be
serious about your health. You cando it. Be Balanced Centers dot com

(04:12):
Kate, So what sets you apartfrom other like weight loss centers, So
traditional weight loss centers focus on dietand exercise, and as Bonnie mentioned,
we really focus on root costs,what is happening inside our bodies and how
do we help that. And wedo that in an all natural, non
medical way. And not only dowe help folks lose weight and also feel
better, but we help them keepit off. And so that's another big

(04:33):
differentiator. We're not just focused onlosing weight helping you feel good for the
moment, but we're really focused onhelping you get to a lifestyle where you're
gonna be able to keep that off. Is this a passion of yours?
Of course it is, It reallyis. So how did that start?
It started when I was in myforties as well. I'm now almost fifty
four, and thank you, Yeah, you're very kind. In my mid

(04:57):
forties, I was struggling with alot of issues. I wasn't sleeping through
that a lot of issues people willrecognize. I wasn't sleeping through the night.
I had headaches, I had twohigh blood pressure meds. Yet I
was doing all the right stuff right, I'm eating a thousand calories a day,
I'm exercising like crazy. My husbandand my daughter and I we all
climb out Everest to base Camp.I didn't lose a pound. I wasn't
sleeping, didn't lose a pound.It's still at the high blood pressure,

(05:19):
and then I was getting the hotflashes on top of it all. So
everything was going kind of downhill.Yet I'm doing all the right stuff.
I'm not alone. And when Iwent through the program that was right for
me, through be balanced, allof that disappeared. I lost the weight.
I don't get headaches anymore, Isleep like a baby, and I
just feel amazing. What kind ofresults do people see? So our average

(05:40):
clients for a female sees fifteen totwenty two pounds of weight loss in the
first month. Men seem a bitmore. That's got to tick you off.
Good guys, No, No,it's okay, it's all right.
Most people are pretty happy at fifteento twenty two, so we'll take it.
We'll take it usually zero and onour program it's fifteen to twenty two,
so we'll take that, all right. So what are other results?
Are the results we typically see inflammation, hot flashes, sleeping through the night.

(06:04):
That all happens pretty quickly within thefirst couple weeks of the program,
and then the last part of ourprogram really focused on keeping it off from
a lifestyle standpoint. All right,Bonnie's gone through the program. What is
the one thing you want people toknow about be balanced? Well, you
don't have to necessarily go to yourregular doctor, because I've done that and

(06:24):
I've not really gotten the answers Iwanted about getting hormones in balance. It's
really important to find out what isindividualized for you and what they do with
the program with food and sensitivities.You know, it's a building up program.
They take away, they build itup and we find out how you
feel as an individual. And Ilove that. You know, it's great

(06:45):
that they have. I have mycounselor Tommy Anne. I could call her
anytime. She actually gave me somethingto help me to get rid of stress.
That was like a little recorded,you know, thing about relaxation and
it was awesome. And you know, anytime I need a draw, call
her up and talk to her andsay what about this? What about this?
And she's like, okay, Iknow you cheated one little time.
It's okay. It's like all right, no very much. She's like no,

(07:08):
no, in perfection. Yeah,And then they're so good and so
then we build it back up andyou really pay attention. I had a
journal that they had, and youknow, I'd write down all the things
that I would eat and how Iwould feel about it. And it's not
about counting calories or you have tohave certain foods, but it is about
what the sensitivities are and that's everything. So it was great. She mentioned

(07:30):
individualized that that's kind of a uniquekind of thing. Yes, yes,
she'll tell us about that. SoBonnie's referring to there is when we are
building a program for a client,we're really basing it on what works for
them. And so when you getinto food sensitivities, what food works for
me is different than what works forBonnie. And it may be very healthy
food for both of us, butit might not work. And what that's

(07:53):
going to do. If it's notworking for us, it's going to cause
a lot of stress, which isgoing to cause a lot of inflammation.
It's not a cookie cutter. Everyperson is different, all right. So
we only have about thirty seconds left. What is the one thing you want
