]]> Claire loses 38 inches off her body after being in our Super Alive Over 45 program and she couldn’t be happier!

Claire's been on our SuperAlive Over 45 program for a year now, and she's like a whole new person!

But here's the kicker – she didn't do it by starving herself or spending hours on a treadmill. She did it The Gabriel way – by adding awesome things to her life!

Let me break it down for you:

Yummy Broth: Claire started her days with a special broth. It's like a warm hug for your insides! She even said her body started craving it. How cool is that?
Dairy Delights: She tried kefir, raw milk, and raw cheese for the first time. These aren't just tasty – they're like a spa day for your gut!
Hot and Cold: Claire got brave and tried saunas followed by cold showers. I know, it sounds crazy, but it's like a workout for your body without moving a muscle!
Mud Magic: She even took mud baths! It's not just for kids and hippos, folks. Mud is packed with good stuff your body needs.

Now, you might be thinking, “Jon, this all sounds great, but did it work?”

Well, Claire lost 38 inches overall! But it's not just about the inches. Claire's rocking rings she couldn't wear for years, playing more tennis, and feeling like a million dollars!

But here's the really important part, and I want you to listen close: Claire didn't just change her body – she changed her mind too. She faced some tough stuff from her childhood and learned to be kinder to herself. It's like she gave her emotions a big, warm hug.

And get this – as Claire started feeling better, her daughter who was struggling with anorexia started doing better too! It's like Claire's good vibes were contagious!

So, what can we learn from Claire's amazing journey?

Adding good things beats taking things away every time
Your body is smart – give it what it needs, and it'll thank you!
Healing isn't just about your body – your emotions need love too
It's never too late to feel awesome – Claire's proof of that!

Now, I've got a question for you:

What good thing could you add to your life today?

Maybe it's a delicious veggie smoothie, or a fun dance break, or even just a few minutes of quiet time.

Whatever it is, give it a try!

Remember, your body wants to be healthy and happy. All you need to do is give it a little help along the way. And if Claire can do it, so can you!

]]> Can you really banish junk food cravings? https://thegabrielmethod.com/fight-junk-food-cravings/ Sat, 21 Aug 2021 20:30:35 +0000 https://gmhome.wpengine.com/fight-junk-food-cravings/ Read More »

]]> One of the most difficult challenges on your journey to reach your ideal weight is learning how to deal with cravings.

Cravings can appear out of nowhere for a variety of reasons. They can be tied to a specific nutritional deficiency, caused by stress, or brought on as your body’s attempt to deal with emotional needs.

But no matter what their cause, cravings can make it difficult for you to stay on-track with your nutritional goals.

How To Banish Junk Food Cravings

The best way to proactively deal with cravings is to make sure that your diet provides you with all of the nutrients you need — you can do that by sticking to lean proteins, fresh live foods, and foods rich in Omega-3s. But you can also deal with cravings that aren’t tied to real nutritional needs by using guided visualization.

In this guided visualization from Jon Gabriel, you’ll learn a powerful technique for training your brain to dismiss junk cravings — and instead focus on vibrant, healthy, beautiful foods.

Next Steps…

Practice this technique every morning and as needed in order to create lasting change in your relationship to your cravings, and to food itself!

]]> Corky’s Story: An Inspirational Journey to Losing 105 Pounds in a Year https://thegabrielmethod.com/corky-105-pouds-lost/ Tue, 06 Jul 2021 22:52:21 +0000 https://gmhome.wpengine.com/corky-105-pouds-lost/ Read More »

]]> At the age of 56, Corky Stanton was unhappy with his weight and its complications.

“I was 310 lbs. I was on 6 different medications. I would get up in the morning and I was sore everything,” he remembers. “I was getting arthritis throughout my body. I had a hard time even tying my shoes.”

The chronic pain and lack of mobility was tough for Corky, who had used to enjoy activities like backpacking.

“Is this the end of the road of my life?” he wondered.

He assumed that he would die young from a heart attack — and decided that he needed to take a drastic step to get back on the road to health.

He believed that the choice came down to surgery or a major lifestyle change. He chose the latter.

He discovered The Gabriel Method book online and became interested in visualization.

It’s a tool that proved to be incredibly helpful for Corky on his weight loss journey.

Through a regular visualization practice, Corky was able to shift his mindset around food, change the way that he ate, and develop a whole new self image.

Now, Corky enjoys a wide variety of foods — and continues to lose weight.

Corky lost 105 lbs in a year… and says he feels 20 years younger. He is also back to enjoying long backpacking trips!

We celebrate Corky’s inspiring mindset shift and ongoing success!

]]> Is sugar the new drug of choice? https://thegabrielmethod.com/sugar/ Sun, 04 Jul 2021 22:51:10 +0000 https://gmhome.wpengine.com/sugar/ Read More »

]]> What does sugar do to your body?

Author, health blogger, and frequent radio and television guest JJ Virgin believes that sugar not only plays a role in many of the common diseases we face, but plays a starring role.

“If you look at cancer, it basically drives the insulin that drives tumour growth,” JJ explains. “Fructose specifically has now been implicated in these really aggressive forms of cancer.”

Sugar is also a key culprit in terms of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, fatty liver… the list goes on.

Artificial sweeteners aren’t the answer — women who drink one diet soda a day have a 30% higher chance of developing diabetes. These sugar substitutes trigger glucose intolerance, calorie dysregulation, and insulin resistance, and unbalance the bacteria in your gut (and this result can happen in less than two weeks)!

The bottom line: when it comes to weight issues, calories are NOT the main culprit.

The true villains are sugar and artificial sweeteners, and the havoc they cause to our hormone levels.

JJ’s advice: be a sugar maker, not a sugar eater.

What does that mean?

Your body will create the sugars that it needs — we don’t need to consume them in processed foods and sugary beverages!

The tricky part is avoiding the HIDDEN sugars that are found in many of our favorite foods — and learning how to make healthier choices that can help you kick your sweet tooth completely.

Watch Jon Gabriel’s interview with JJ to find out:

The surprising ways that sugar sneaks into common kitchen staples
Healthier, natural sweeteners (that are also safe for diabetics)

]]> These healthy chicken nuggets are something you should know about. https://thegabrielmethod.com/healthy-chicken-nuggets/ Sun, 04 Jul 2021 22:39:33 +0000 https://gmhome.wpengine.com/healthy-chicken-nuggets/ Read More »

]]> Kids just LOVE chicken nuggets.

(And many adults do, too!)

But the processed, mass-produced chicken nuggets that you can find in the freezer section of the supermarket aren’t the healthiest choice.

And the nuggets you get at fast food restaurants can be even worse!

Luckily Diana Keuilian, creator of RealHealthyRecipes.com, has created her own healthy, natural chicken nugget recipe for the Gabriel Method community.

Instead of harmful chemicals, preservatives, and unhealthy oils, her chicken nuggets contain natural, healthful ingredients, allowing you and your family to enjoy all the fun of chicken nuggets without the poor nutrition.

TIP: if you or your child have an almond allergy, you can substitute sunflower seeds.

]]> Healthier french fries? Yes, please 😋 https://thegabrielmethod.com/healthier-french-fries/ Sun, 04 Jul 2021 22:19:22 +0000 https://gmhome.wpengine.com/healthier-french-fries/ Read More »

]]> For many people, french fries are one of the most delicious foods out there — and one of their strongest cravings.

Unfortunately, french fries are also one of the unhealthiest foods you can eat.

Why are they so unhealthy?

They usually contain a lot of salt, which can increase the risk of heart disease
They’re usually cooked in trans fats, which raise your levels of “bad” cholesterol
Potatoes are high on the glycemic index, which means that they spike your blood sugar

But living a healthy lifestyle doesn’t mean giving up on fries entirely!

French fry substitutions aren’t a new thing — restaurants regularly offer sweet potato versions which offer a huge boost in Vitamin A and a lower GI rating than white potatoes, and many people choose to bake their fries rather than deep-frying in oil.

But if you want the ultimate in delicious, healthy french fry alternatives, Diana Keuilian, creator of RealHealthyRecipes.com, has just the thing!

Her carrot french fries offer all of the fun of the much beloved finger food with a fraction of the calories and fat. Carrots are also an amazing source of beta carotene, vitamin K1, potassium, and fiber!

And it’s a great recipe to make with kids!

]]> 100 pounds gone. Pain, depression and digestive issues gone too… https://thegabrielmethod.com/meet-aurieona/ Wed, 23 Jun 2021 13:55:39 +0000 https://gmhome.wpengine.com/meet-aurieona/ Read More »

]]> Aurieona has struggled with her weight for almost her entire life.

By the age of 16 years old, she weighed 230 lbs.

Her life since then had been a rollercoaster of diets and failed attempts to lose the weight.

“Before I discovered The Gabriel Method, even attempting to lose weight was just nothing but heartache and struggle,” she explains. “Anything I tried just didn’t stick, and left me feeling deprived and angry.”

When she discovered The Gabriel Method, she felt like every part of her lit up inside.

Jon’s teachings strongly resonated with her and she began eagerly incorporating them into her life.

“I compare my life now to before I discovered The Gabriel Method — it’s just night and day,” she says. “I used to just have this feeling of overwhelming disappointment. I really wanted to do something for my health and my body, but I didn’t know what it was. I was often depressed.”

In addition to her low moods, Aurieloa also dealt with pain and digestive issues — problems that she was able to completely overcome through The Gabriel Method’s teachings.

“Since I changed so much about what I do with my food and my health, I feel just so clear and light,” she explains. “I just wake up really grateful that I’m on a path.”

While on her path, Aurieona has lost over 100 lbs!

We celebrate her success! Congratulations, Aurieona!

]]> Is Meditation Worth It? https://thegabrielmethod.com/is-meditation-worth-it/ Wed, 23 Jun 2021 10:07:45 +0000 https://gmhome.wpengine.com/is-meditation-worth-it/ Read More »

]]> Jon Gabriel is a huge proponent of the power of meditation and considers it a crucial part of his weight loss journey and healthy lifestyle!

As Jon realized the vast number of amazing benefits that come with having a regular meditation practice, he began to incorporate it into his life more and more. Now, he begins each day with a peaceful meditation.

What has meditation done for Jon? “My body feels incredible, I feel less stressed, I’m calmer, I’m more clear, creativity flows, I’m more productive, and I just love the feeling of being in a deep, relaxed, meditative state,” he says.

For Jon, meditation and visualization are the most important practices in his life.

Jon’s firsthand findings are supported by many clinical studies which demonstrate the amazing power of meditation to bring about mental and physical health benefits.

One Harvard Medical study showed that meditation can actually affect your body on a genetic level — in an incredibly positive way. The study followed two groups of people. One group practiced daily yoga and deep meditation and the other did not.

The Results from the Harvard Medical Study

The results for the meditation group were astonishing. The study found that after two months “their bodies began to change: the genes that help fight inflammation, kill diseased cells and protect the body from cancer all began to switch on.\'\'

Chronic, low-grade inflammation not only causes disease, but also triggers leptin and insulin resistance which turn your body into a fat storage machine — your body believes itself to be starving and you lose the ability to burn fat effectively.

The result? You’re hungry all the time and crave high-calorie junk foods, making it much harder to lose weight!

Jon’s advice?

Make meditation and visualization a regular part of your lifestyle, and enjoy all of the beautiful rewards.
