I'm still at the tail end of my Level 1 experience, but I'm so glad I did the Betr Health program! I'm a young professional type and frankly I haven't been as frugal with my money as I ought to be, but the money spent on this program is well worth it. Yes I've lost weight, but that's not the main thing for me (although it's been a long time goal so yay!). I FEEL way better. I don't feel bloated and tired, I have energy, I'm not suffering from constipation and belly pains anymore, and I rarely have headaches. I'm not an old person and I finally feel my age. Thanks Emily and Dr Ferro!

I had a goal to get below 200 lbs and I'm 2 lbs away at the end of Level 1! I'm amazed at the difference in the way I feel and how quickly TJ weight dropped off. Having a weekly check in with our coach, Emily, is very helpful and helps me keep in. Heck. I'd recommend this program to anyone .

I went into the Betr protocol as a skeptic. I was a skeptic on both sides actually- skeptic they could deliver on improving my health and skeptical it would be something I would feel "successful" at. I'm very happy to report that my cynicism and skepticism was misplaced!
There were a few things missing from the reviews I read when I considered doing the program. Everyone said they felt better and lost weight, which is great, but I was really looking for some more information about what I would be experiencing. So the program is simple but also restrictive. This was a definite win for me because I function well with clear rules and expectations. You will be given a clear list of what you can eat and it will require some creativity and prep on your part. I wouldn't consider starting this protocol at a time you couldn't devote some brain power to it- especially in the first week (it is much smoother in the following weeks). You are tracked by excellent coaches daily (shout out to Anita!!) and sometimes more than daily. You send pictures of everything that you eat and weigh in daily so they can see how it has affected you. You are also given a really clear eating schedule and supplement schedule. The recipes provided with the meal plan are decent. There was only one night where I was a little "meh." The recipes were nice because it took out my need to think about what to make, but you definitely don't need to use their recipes and can make your own based off the food list provided.
So now for results....
1.) I was an absolute sugar addict before and now I have 0 cravings. When I say sugar addict, I am not being flip or overly dramatic. It was a daily, real struggle that left me feeling like an out of control loser.
2.) My joints feel better. I have more range of motion during yoga and stretching.
3.) I have fibromyalgia and I have been a lot more functional while using the BETR protocol
4.) It was a wonderful reset that reminded me what it was to treat my body well. There was a lot of peace that came from ending the food struggle.
5.) I lost 11lbs in 3 weeks
I wasn't perfect on the program- they ask you to rotate your proteins every day and I definitely did a lot of next day leftovers. I also was not good at the timing schedule and occasionally missed my supplements. But the magic still happened for me! I'm excited to continue on with BETR- I've made the decision to continue coaching on level 2 and beyond because I'm not ready to have my training wheels off. It's nice to know I will have such compassionate, invested people supporting me while I let the habit and skill of living well sink deep. It's given me a confidence that I have sorely missed! Thank you BETR!

This program is very user friendly and simple! Access to personal coaches, recipes and step by step guides set you up for success! Real food, plenty of energy and solutions for those of us who are on the go. I'm down 4.5 pounds in the first 7 days. Happy I found my coach and this program!

I love the Betr program! The App is outstanding! I love being able to ask questions as they come up and receiving the answers promptly from my magnificent coach, Emily! I love trying the recipes and exploring other areas of the app. The food pictures and back and forth discussing have been so helpful! The weekly chats have been extremely helpful and motivating as well! I feel empowered by this program; I am making healthy choices, breaking unhealthy habits, and feeling better day by day! Thank you, Betr!!

Great weightloss program! Carly was my coach and she made it so easy. I was given a menu every week that was easy to follow, easy to prepare, and made me feel physically really good.This is not a one size fits all menu. The menu is designed to fit your dietary restrictions and the foods you like to eat. I lost weight steadily and Carly was there every step of the way to help me. The best part of this program is that now I know what I should be eating and in what quantities. This program has you eating healthy, balanced meals so you can continue eating this way forever. At the maintenance phase Carly explained how I could indulge once or twice a week and still maintain my weight. Having Carly check in with me every day kept me in line. The program is long enough to change your eating habits and get you past your cravings. Go for it! You have nothing to lose but weight!

This is the best program I have ever worked with. I first found out about it when I was a personal trainer with Golds Gym- they helped so many of my clients lose weight, get off medications, and over all increase their energy.
Years after I stopped personal training I came into some emotional hardships and ended up gaining weight and falling into a depression. I knew that losing weight and eating healthier was one of the things I could control in my life and that it would domino onto the other problems I was facing.
My coach was Emily, and she was absolutely amazing. She listened to what I was going through emotionally and helped me stay motivated and on track.
The best part about this program is that it didn't feel like a diet or something I just had to get through. It became a lifestyle change for me. I wasn't waiting for the time to end so that I could stuff my face with all the food I had been not eating...I was actually happy with the foods I was eating on this program because they truly hit the spot.
The first couple of days are a transition, but then it becomes second nature. I did both level one and two and I have to say that I really understand what foods my body does well with and responds to with weight loss and preventing discomfort.
I lost 10 lbs in level one, and another 5-6 in level two. The weight keeps dropping and my energy is going up, and my anxiety is going down. I sleep better and have more motivation to cook and exercise.
The app has great food ideas, allows you to see your progress, and links to your fitbit :)
Having a coach like Emily kept me aware of what I was reaching for each day. It was also nice having a support system like her to talk to when I was craving food I knew I shouldn't, and having her provide me with alternatives to get past the cravings.
The adrenal cocktail was such a great addition to the program too- Helped me lower my stress levels and fall asleep and stay asleep. My stress during the day decreased and I was able to focus on what was important.
The Tuesday calls were also wonderful to listen to because they gave me insight into the science behind Dr. Ferro's gut health system, allowed me to hear inspirational stories. Connected me with people that are also doing the program. And best of all was open for questions directly to him!
Now that I finished level one and two, I have no problem continuing eating my tasty healthy foods :) Like I said, it became a lifestyle change and I enjoy my fruit snacks and mason jar salads. So colorful and delicious that people are even asking if I can make them for them too!
This program is about gut health, but it comes with SOOOO many benefits that it truly is a program for anyone! I would recommend this to my friends, family, and people I just met.
Thank you Betr Health!!!! :) and Thank you to my coach Emily!

This program is the only program that I have ever experienced that produces healthy results without the hidden costs and a chemical dependency on products that other companies try to get you to buy. I tried this program years ago and got great results. Now I am back on the program for a permanent lifestyle change. Not only is the weight coming off but the inflammation that would not away from rotator cuff surgery is completely gone. No longer am I in constant pain which is an add health bonus thanks to this healthy program! Thank you Betr for healing me from the inside out!! �

The fact that you will be refunded your money attracted me to the program. It tells me that they are confident about the program. Another attraction is not having to buy food you may not eat or like. I felt encouraged by the coach (Emily) and not rushed. I feel better rested when I get up in the morning, even though I am getting the same amount of sleep as before I got on the program. I start level 2 in Saturday.

I can't say enough good things about Betr Health. It has truly been a great experience. I'm sleeping better, have more energy, and just feel great in general. The 15 pounds of weight loss (and counting) doesn't hurt either They make it so easy for you with meal plans, recipes, and a personal coach to work with you and guide you through the program. What more could you ask for??? I'm so glad I decided to try Betr. I fee healthy, and that's the best feeling of all!

My story... I had been thinking something had to change and I was not losing weight under my years of trial and error method. I ran into acquaintance in late March. After talking awhile I said something has changed, have you lost weight ? The response with a big grin was yes ! So I ask how and so forth. That lead to being introduced to Carly B. Now what the B means is "B" = the BEST coach you could ever ask for. CarlyB and I set a start date and the journey began in late April. She answered a lot of questions and guided me through the shopping and cooking process. Now I admit I fall off the wagon a couple times and was assured to was not the end to the weight lose. CarlyB was a constant support through the whole process and I sincerely thank her for that.
So after 6 weeks I am down 23.6 pounds. My cholesterol went for 204 at the beginning, to 178 a week and half later to 152 on June 1st. Talk about shocked. I was thinking I would be buying the next size clothes up, now need to buy one or two sizes down. WOW !!! I tell you, if I had seen the results in someone else I had not seen in a few years. I would have not believed this life style transformation was even possible.
Thank you to Betr Health, Dr Ferro, and extra praise and thanks to Carly B. I still am amazed and losing weight.
