Like so many others, my struggle with weight gain, and inability to lose it, came later in life. I went from not having a weight problem at all to being 32 lbs overweight. It really caught me off guard, as I rarely weighed myself and thought I was doing well with food choices. I couldn't believe it when my doctor said, "You're in the obese category." After our conversation about starting a diet plan (that I knew wouldn't work for me--I hate meal replacement shakes), I knew I had to talk to a friend of mine who had been on a plan that left her looking and feeling great. In addition, she had kept the weight off for a year!
First, I asked if I had to do meal replacement shakes because I knew that wasn't for me. She said absolutely not and began raving about her new way of life--not a diet plan--that she knew would help me. It was Betr (Pure Proactive Health). She went on and on about the organic food as well as her personal coach. I told her to stop. Organic food and a personal coach, that sounded too expensive. She assured me the price was less or comparable to the diet the doctor suggested and certainly more beneficial. I was skeptical, but decided to try it as I'd seen her basically melt before my eyes (not kidding she lost weight fast) and then kept it off.
Okay, (insert a drum roll here)--I've lost the 32 lbs and kept it off (without starving myself and drinking shakes). And I see what she means, this is not a diet. It is healthy living and eating that can positively sustain you for a lifetime.
As a nurse, I see patients struggling everyday with the effects of obesity i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, digestive concerns. I now know there is a remedy that is rooted in healthy eating and living. If you try this "lifestyle," (not diet plan), you will not regret it, for it truly has been a life changing benefit to me.
Want a great coach? My coach was the thorough and thoroughly funny Anita Erhard. Great experience! Great outcome!

Before I started with Pure Proactive, I was struggling with unhealthy eating, weight gain, and difficulty sleeping. A friend told me about this program and I decided to give it a try - I'm so glad I did. In 2 months I have lost 18 pounds - I look better, am sleeping better, and consequently I feel pretty great. The eating plan is healthy and not difficult to follow. Key to this is the coaching, and my coaches, Lauren and Valerie, were great. They gave me the support I needed to make it through some challenges I'm sure would have derailed me if I was on my own. Now I am starting Level 3 and I feel confident that I will use the tools they gave me to maintain a much healthier lifestyle. Thank you both!

My pants were too tight, I couldn't button my collar and my doctor was worried about my blood sugar. Losing weight is not easy and is something I have to battle most of my adult life. With the help of my coach, Valerie, I lost over 30 lbs in about 5 weeks. I strongly encourage you to try Pure Proactive.

I am 6 weeks in, I have lost 15 lbs. and most importantly - I feel amazing! My coach, Patty Katz, has been a critical piece in my success with Pure Proactive. It is an awesome journey. Unlike every other program I have tried - it is sustainable. I’m not hungry and I don’t feel deprived.
I now look forward to mealtime. I enjoy preparing and eating my food. Many thanks to Patty and Pure Proactive Health for your direction, support and my new lease on life!!!!

After gaining 30 lbs I felt disgusted and hopeless. I had not had the same love of going to workout as I had in the past, which made me feel even worse. Pure Proactive allowed me to change my eating habits and work towards going to the gym. I didn't feel coerced by my coach Christa, she was so understanding and rooted for me even when I was frustrated at not having lost 'what I feel I should'. I am so grateful for her and to DyAnna for introducing me to the program. So far I have lost 15 lbs in 7 weeks which is slower than most people who join Proactive but I love how I feel when I look in the mirror now.

Pure Proactive was introduced to me back in 2010, by a friend who knew I was struggling to lose weight. I was hesitant to move forward at the time because I wasn't ready to commit to the change mentally and financially. However after hitting a point in my life where I felt hopeless in my failed attempts to lose weight, I recalled this program.
Once I made the call to get started I was excited to live a healthier lifestyle and to lose weight. My coach Heidi has been nothing short of amazing. She is super supportive, and also has a positive idea. She was there to guide me to stay on track especially on my super busy days. I was able to drop 7lbs in 1 week and have lost 15lbs and counting. I will forever by thankful to my friend and Heidi, my coach on having such a successful experience with Pure Proactive.

I am so grateful that I was introduced to Pure Proactive by a co-worker. She told me to contact her friend Anita Erhard, who is a Health Coach for Pure Proactive because I too am a Health Coach and I was interested in the program. I was definitely interested in how I would feel and the changes I would experience doing this program. I did not want to loose any weight but I was very interested in the diet elimination to see which foods were causing an inflammatory response in my body. I have a Hypothyroid condition and I had known that there were still foods that were causing me an inflammatory response , even though I eat very healthy . I was able to find out that the big instigator was nuts. I was sooooo fortunate to have Anita as my Health Coach because she was so attentive to all of my needs and I felt seriously supported by her. Her knowledge and passion was obvious. On this program I was able to eat large portions of food to avoid loosing weight , yet I still kept dropping weight so easily , which was surprising to me. After completing phase one I felt amazing. My skin and hair never looked better and I felt so energetic and alive. I no longer have brain fog symptoms and this is the best I have ever felt in my life. My Thyroid levels changed and I got to reduce my meds by one day , which is amazing. My Peroxidase Auto Immune Antibody test (Thyroid test) improved significantly. I now feel like I have a healthy gut and I will forever make certain that I always eat a healthy fat, protein and vegetable with every meal. Thank you so much Anita!!!!!

I started Pure Proactive about 2 months ago and am already down over 20 pounds!! It has been such a positive experience and I couldn't have done it without the help of my amazing coach Valerie. She has taught me so much and has been an incredible source of support. I have never felt better, Pure Proactive is life changing! I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Thank you Valerie, you are the best!!

Had a wonderful experience on Pure Proactive. Lost 10 lbs thanks to the help of my coach Cristina! Injured my back during the first week, Cristina helped me to stay focused and on track despite the injury and pain associated with it. The experience was a great jump start for the positive change I needed to put my weight loss in the right direction and reset healthy eating habits!

Pure Proactive has been a life changing experience for me. I attribute the majority of my success to my amazing coach, Carly B. She has taught me how to eat healthy and has been with me every step of the way. I just completed Level 1 and have lost 18 pounds!! I feel better physically and mentally. I am able to handle stress better and feel so much more confident in my everyday life. I plan to continue my new lifestyle for the rest of my life. Thank you, Carly!!

I have tried at least 10 "weight loss" programs in the last 20 years. The majority worked until you stopped eating the "special food". I was attracted to this program because first, it is not a weight loss program. Believe it or not, the hook for me was the words "Coach", "over the telephone", "regular food" and "iPhone App". For me, that was golden. No meetings to travel to. No crowd of people whining about being hungry. No calorie counting. No anxiously watching the scale. No artificial shakes and bars. I lost 27 lbs in 14 days. My weight, blood sugar and pressure have not been this low in 10-15 years. My reliance on my knee brace, which I had convinced myself was "just the way it would be for life"... GONE! Talk about a new lease on life... Woot! Woot! Woot!

As a certified holistic health coach, I've studied hundreds of dietary theories, read dozens of books and worked for several weight loss companies... From start to finish, Betr (Pure Proactive) is the best. I was never able to get the results I desired... Being 21 at the time, stuck at weighing 160 pounds and being 5 foot 3 was a /nightmare/. Dr. Ferro and my health coach saved my life. For the first time, in all my studies and experiences, I began to HEAL from the inside... Resulting in ending up at my dream weight of 137!!! (4 years later, kept it off and healthier than ever) At a healthy BMI, I'm able to climb mountains- literally and metaphorically ;) even if I don't have a weight goal, I still want to do the cleanse yearly as a purification and preservation of my long term health!!! Dr. Ferro and my coach, Valerie, taught me skills I'll have for life. Grateful.

Pure Proactive Health has changed my life and Carly B. was an unbelievable and helpful coach. I lost 18 pounds, but even more importantly, got off two medications and my pain, energy and brain fog from fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and RSD are almost totally gone. Carly has shown me how to eat clean and healthy which I plan on continuing for a lifetime.

I started pure proactive 3 weeks ago and I lost 17.6 pounds. I have always struggled with my weight and decided to make a change in my life. I heard about pure proactive from my sister who is also doing the program. With the help from my coach April I was able to stick with it and I feel great. Without April pushing me I might of gave up but with her help I'm going to keep going and hit my goals. I can't say enough good things about pure proactive, it changing my life.

I found my Pure Proactive experience to pull together a lot of the things I had learned in other programs in a way that I could follow and feel confident that I was doing what was expected. However, the key to my success and confidence has been the superior coaching I have received from Carly B. Her guidance and support along with her availability to answer my questions has meant the world to me. The program itself is great and provided me much success. Most of the weight I have lost has been belly fat which I desparaetly needed to lose. I lost 22 pounds during 6 weeks of level one and 5 pounds in 3 weeks of level two. To become the healthy person I want to become, I still need to lose 20 to 25 more pounds, which I anticipate doing using the tools and regimen I have practiced for the past nine weeks. Although I am nervous about being on my own, Carly B assures me I am ready.. Thank you Dr Ferro for speaking at Dr. Winget's office so that I had the opportunity to learn about your program.

Pure Proactive is changing my life for the better. I've been gaining weight and not feeling my best and knew I had to do something to feel better. I heard about Pure ProActive alittle over a year ago from an old classmate. I followed the page on Facebook but never had the courage to reach and get a consultation until I recently hit rock bottom and saw a post come across my newsfeed about the program and it was a sign I should setup a call and I did. Best thing I could've done for myself. I've been on the program for 2 weeks today and I am down almost 12lbs and my energy is high and I feel great. My coach April has been my saving grace. She is there whenever I need her... answering a million questions and cheering me every step of the way. I am a super picky eater and she has helped me pick great tasting receipes which have given me a variety of choices while doing the program. I recommend Pure Proactive to anyone struggling to lose weight or just get healthy. It really works!!! I've tried a ton of other plans and this one is the best of them all. Thanks April & thanks Dr Ferro!! You guys rock!!!!

I started pureproactive when I saw my friend looking so amazing. I asked how, she said easy and not a hard program to follow . She gave her coach Christa my number and there my journey of healthier eating and losing weight started. I love my coach Christa, she is motivating and is dynamic and an encourager. Very attentive to me, makes me feel like I'm her only client. I'm thankful to my friend for telling me about the program and connecting Christa and me

I can't begin to tell you how great I'm starting to feel . I've only been on Level 1 of the program
since Feb22 and have lost a total of 13 lbs . The greatest thing is having access to my coach
Heidi Lackowitz.Last Sunday I was faced with the delima of eating breakfast at Waffle Shop
I texted Heidi and she immediately researched their entire menu and made an excellent choice
that allowed me to not only enjoy my time with my son but the food as well. Every question that
I've had she has responded in a timely manner. Planning meals and portion control. I"ve struggled
with weight gain and never had a plan like this that would address my personal needs. It has started to effect my personal life but my work performance as well in a very positive way . I'm excited about the future with Pure Proactive Health.I also like the chat sessions with Dr.Ferro . Great support group

I've done Pure Proactive before and lost 42 lbs, and then followed by an additional 26 lbs later when I did it again. I'm trying for a 3rd time after my 2nd baby and after only 1 week I've lost 13.6 lbs! My coach Cristina Lombardozzi was extremely helpful in reminding me some things, as well as giving me additional pointers. She was a big encouragement in this first week. Also it really helps to have a coach to have that person you can always communicate with or ask questions at the drop of a hat who answers you quickly, and helped to keep me accountable. I'm still moving foward with the rest of my 21 days Level 1...and feel confident that I'll have a great negative number when I'm finished. But best of all, I FEEL amazing again and more energy. That's extremely helpful after having 2 babies. Love this program!!

Pure Proactive is the best thing I have ever done for my health. I dropped 53 lbs in a year and made my doctor really happy with me after my blood pressure dropped, blood sugars regulated, and other health issues went away. Not to mention, I looked amazing at my daughter's wedding. I encouraged my niece to try the program after she hit a wall with her weight loss after her gastric sleeve. She is down 22 lbs in less than a month. I refer anyone I feel needs to get healthy and is tired of fad dieting. I know without a doubt that Pure Proactive will be a huge part of my life for a long time because the personal support and being able to eat real food.
