Since May I have lost 19lbs working with Lou the Nutrition Coach. He taught me how to be mindful with my eating and he taught me what actually causes healthy sustainable weight loss. One thing that stood out was that I went on vacation for a couple of weeks, enjoyed myself and didn’t lose all the progress we made!Posted on Google![]()

I had a sciatica problem for almost three years i had faced a lot of difficulties to move my leg sometimes i could barely walk and do my things, experienced the worst pain in my back and all the way down to the ankle. Afterwards, i got to know about Depth Physiotherapy and met with my divine helper by God’s grace Dr Ryan. He is knowledgeable about the treatment regarding sciatica and even more treatments as well. My best experience that i had with him and we became friends at the end.Posted on Google![]()
