Pamela and the team at Vidal and Vidal…
Pamela and the team at Vidal and Vidal med have been amazing. I’ll start with the blood work cholesterol went from 257 to 180 - triglycerides went from 102 to 66 and A1c went from 5.8 to 5.4. That was within the first eight weeks! That’s how much just doing the initial eight weeks of the program changed my blood work. I’m down about 9 pounds which is a big deal - I’ll be 55 in September navigating perimenopause is definitely a challenge and even though I am a certified health coach, I knew I could not do this alone. I’m about four months in now. I just started doing small doses of medication’s / micro dosing and while it’s too early to really see the effects because I’ve only been on these for about a week. I could tell that something‘s happening. I’m very encouraged and I would recommend this program to anyone because it’s important but specifically to women like me navigating perimenopause because after a certain age doing what we normally did to snap back into shape doesn’t work anymore, so it’s great to have a resource like this. More good news because I had a good weigh in I thought it would be fun to try on my wedding dress from our wedding 13 years ago and even though I weighed less at that time the dress fit perfectly and was even big in some areas so my body changed in a good way, which is kind of crazy at 55. I like the program so much. I’m thinking of going to school here. It’s very inspiring I talk about it with everyone that will listen!

Donna, thank you so much for sharing this incredible update 💙 Seeing such meaningful changes in your cholesterol, triglycerides, and A1c within your first eight weeks is amazing—and pairing that with weight loss, improved body composition, and feeling encouraged about your health makes the progress even more exciting. We especially appreciate your perspective as a certified health coach yourself. Perimenopause can change what our bodies need, and recognizing when it’s time for personalized support rather than simply pushing harder is so important. We’re thrilled that Pamela, Vidal Coaching, and Vidal Med have helped you navigate this season with greater clarity and confidence. And fitting into your wedding dress from 13 years ago?! What a special way to see how much your body has changed beyond the number on the scale! Thank you for trusting us with your health and for sharing Vidal with everyone who will listen. Hearing that this experience has inspired you so much that you’re even considering furthering your own education in this space means the world to us. We can’t wait to see what the rest of your journey brings 💙
