My life was a complete mess, prior to meeting Jamel. I had been struggling with weight and health issues since the age of eight. As an adult, every six months, I found myself repeating the same cycle: reading conflicting dieting books - feeling frustrated; running in and out of medical nutritionist offices - feeling confused: visiting ineffective holistic nutritionists - feeling depressed and defeated.
The frustrations of not being able to overcome my weight issues started to affect my ability to maintain healthy friendships and romantic relationships.
Two weeks after I started Jamel's program, I started noticing that my clothes were looser. I also had more energy and was able to handle stressful situations without getting stressed out. About half-way through the program, my family, friends and co-workers began telling me how much thinner and vibrant I looked. They also noted how lively my personality had become and that my energy level was much higher. I was even able to start communicating with the people close to me in a healthier manner.
The reason why Jamel's program works for me and not the programs of countless other nutritionists I saw, is because Jamel designed a diet that's tailored to MY needs. That is what makes his approach unique. He treats each individual as an individual and addresses not only the body, but the mind and spirit as well. His program is a lifestyle not some lose weight fast then gain it back diet.
Jamel's program has healed my body and as a result, I have my life
back!
Thank you Jamel!

At first, I was apprehensive about working with Jamel because the program sounded so intense. . Like many, I fear changes, but through our work together, I have begun to embrace them.
When I first started, I had been on medication for migraine medicines. Two years ago, I was averaging 10-16 headaches a month. It was both painful and frightening. The chemical cocktails made me dizzy, sleepy, and numb. After a month and a half of health counseling work with Jamel, I no longer had as many migraines; half way through the program, they were occasional. Working with Jamel meant gradually incorporating whole foods into my diet, while simultaneously healing other aspects of my life (i.e., stress-reduction exercises). I feel more creative and proactive. Despite several recent challenges, I am still motivated and exciting about continuing the work, because what I have learned has gotten me through the days.
I strongly and enthusiastically recommend the holistic health counseling program for everyone.
