How I Met Isabella:

Back in November 2018, I was introduced to Isabella through a friend. At that time, I sought her help mainly to lose weight.
 

My Weight Loss Journey:

Possibly due to genetics, I’ve been chubby since I was a child. Starting from upper primary school, I began trying different weight loss methods out of a desire to look better. I’ve done everything from regular dieting to extreme “celebrity diet plans”; from daily aerobic exercises (like swimming) to intense, torturous workouts every day. Once I had the financial means, I started trying different commercial weight loss services and products (including consulting with traditional nutritionists).
 

From my years of experience, I believe that losing weight is not the hardest part — the real challenge is maintaining the results. That’s why my body shape has fluctuated over time — from fat to slim, then back to fat — restarting weight loss plans over and over again without end. When I was younger, losing weight was easy — with enough determination, success was almost guaranteed. But as I’ve aged, I found it’s no longer as easy. Beyond appearance, obesity also brings various health problems. For instance, I started taking medication for high blood pressure before the age of 35. Besides high blood pressure, I had other health issues that doctors said were weight-related. Because of this, my motivation for weight loss now goes beyond vanity — it’s mostly about improving my health.
 

Starting Isabella’s Professional Consultation:

I remember the first time I met Isabella — she carefully understood my lifestyle and physical condition. That’s when I realized she wasn’t just helping me lose weight, but was identifying the root causes of my obesity and helping me rebalance my physical, mental, and emotional health. That’s how I began seeing her at her clinic approximately every 10 days for consultation and, under her guidance, started the ketogenic diet.
 

After Starting Keto:

Keto isn’t just a weight loss plan; it’s a complete lifestyle change. It was a bit difficult at first — the biggest challenge was eating out. Options for keto-friendly meals are limited when dining out, and keto places a lot of importance on the type of oil used, which is hard to control at restaurants. Now, I do regular health check-ups every 2-3 months. Every time I review my health status with Isabella, I can see the benefits keto has brought. For example, after indulging in non-keto foods (like during travel), my body immediately reacts — my blood pressure, liver function, cholesterol, and uric acid levels all worsen. Conversely, when I adhere to the keto principles and change my lifestyle accordingly, those health indicators gradually improve. Amazingly, after just four months on keto, my blood pressure returned to normal without medication. This proves that habits can be cultivated — once you understand the health benefits of a lifestyle, you can stick with it.

​

I’ve been on keto for over half a year now. I visibly look slimmer — friends ask if I’ve lost 20 pounds. Most of my health indicators are now within the healthy range. I’ve also developed the habit of drinking lots of water daily. Plus, with the healthy fats in the keto diet, my skin has become more radiant, elastic, and smooth.
 

Mental Well-being:

Isabella doesn’t just focus on my diet — she cares deeply about my emotional and mental state. My work is demanding and stressful, and I often have poor sleep. She reminded me to pay attention to my inner needs and guided me on how to use my faith and meditation to relieve stress.
 

My Goal:

Once, I shared my wedding photos with Isabella. Since then, she’s often told me how beautiful I used to be. So together, we set a goal — to regain that beautiful appearance and internal health by the end of 2019.

​

Finally, I just want to say from the bottom of my heart: Isabella, thank you!

It’s an Honor to Be Invited:

How did I get to know about keto? It wasn’t really by chance. I’ve always been interested in anything that could help me lose weight. Every time, I would think “this will be the last method I try” — and this time, it really was the last and most effective one.

​

I found Isabella through a Facebook search. I was so happy because, at that time, keto was still a relatively new concept. It turned traditional dietary beliefs on their head.

​

I’ve always liked trying new things, and Isabella’s professionalism and patience helped me truly achieve wonderful results.
 

About My Body:

My body is quite different from most people’s. When I first met Isabella, I followed her methods very seriously and diligently, but saw no progress. I was very upset. Isabella not only supported me emotionally every day, but also worked hard to find the underlying cause. Eventually, she recommended a DNA test — the results were shocking. It turned out that I was sensitive to certain foods — specifically, the ones I ate and loved most! It was like a bolt from the blue. On top of that, I learned I had difficulty metabolizing fats — so how could I do keto?

Despite this, Isabella continued to design new meal plans for me, checking in daily, constantly adjusting and refining everything.
 

Beyond that, I also had liver function issues. She used functional medicine methods to help me improve step by step, gradually bringing my body back to a healthy state.
 

Before this, I had paid the price of health in my attempts to lose weight. I was low on energy, and my body lacked essential nutrients. It was Isabella who helped me understand the importance of supplements.

I am truly grateful to Isabella. Meeting her has been a blessing and a stroke of luck.

I hope Isabella can help more people discover the benefits of the ketogenic diet. ❤️
