Isagenix® Gives Chiropractor a Much-Needed Adjustment

Before discovering Isagenix®, Dr. Todd was feeling both physically and emotionally frustrated while caring for his patients. He enjoyed treating his patients, but when it came time to telling them that they needed to do something about their weight to relieve their back pain, he was conflicted. How could he tell them to lose weight when he was overweight and unwilling to do anything about his own problem? Coupled with a family history riddled with health challenges, Dr. Todd was concerned about his own future as a family man.

But, since discovering Isagenix®, all of that has changed, and the 53-year-old is now enjoying a better quality of life not only for himself, but for his patients as well. A whopping 70 pounds lighter*, nearly eight pant sizes smaller* and second-place winner in the Men 50+ Category of the 2009 IsaBody Challenge®, the California chiropractor is back to participating in his favorite sports and even climbing mountains.

“Isagenix has totally changed my life for the better,” shares Dr. Todd. “I was noticing results in the very first week and now I’m doing things that I would not have even imagined were possible.”

Before being introduced to Isagenix, Dr. Todd knew he had two strikes against him – he was overweight and had tried and frequently failed at previous weight-loss attempts—but it wasn’t until his beloved mother passed away of a stroke that he realized he desperately needed to do something about his lifestyle.

“As I started to write my mother’s obituary I wondered what my own obituary would look like if anything were to happen to me,” recalls Dr. Todd. “There I sat, age 53, overweight, unhealthy and a real walking time bomb. Needless to say, I was contemplating making some serious changes for myself.”

Watching home video footage from the time family spent together following his mother’s memorial service drove home his desire to change as he watched his overweight self playing with his six-month-old grandson. Reflecting on the premature loss of his father, he knew he had to do everything possible to get his health on track so he’d be around long enough to see the boy grow up.

The timing couldn’t have been better. After attending an Isagenix meeting in January hosted by a colleague, Dr. Todd signed up for the 2009 IsaBody Challenge. Inspired by the “before” and “after” picture and testimonials of previous participants along with learning more about how unique Nutritional Cleansing was compared to other weight-loss programs, he decided to go for it.

He reached his first significant milestone after he lost 40 pounds*. Before long, the guy who avoided gyms and running found himself exercising with ankle and wrist weights, taking daily walks around the neighborhood and playing tennis with his son. Just after this past 4th of July, he hiked up one of the southernmost active volcanoes, Mt. Lassen, located in the Cascade Range of Northern California.

Dr. Todd has since lost an additional 30 pounds* and loves hearing his patients tell him that he’s “not fat anymore.” This transformation now has Dr. Todd incorporating Isagenix into his practice with one-on-one consultations on how chiropractic care and Nutritional Cleansing with Isagenix complement one another. He and his colleague also schedule bi-monthly group meetings to answer questions, sign up new Associates, and offer samples of the IsaLean® Shakes.

With all of the weight loss, Todd has experienced greater energy, sleeps better and feels more alert than he has in years.

“I’m healthier, feeling absolutely fantastic and looking better than ever,” shares Dr. Todd. “That’s the best prize anyone could ask for.”
