I got to know Charlotte Labee, her supplement brand, and the Brain Balance Institute through Charlotte's posts on Instagram. I found them useful and inspiring. Unfortunately, I was experiencing burnout myself at the time. Due to the inspiring posts, I started reading Charlotte Labee's books and taking her online course on burnout. I found those very helpful as well. They certainly helped me. After my burnout, I was doing well, but I still had some lingering issues, which is why I contacted the Brain Balance Institute.
Where my journey to more energy and a symptom-free life began
I immediately received excellent help over the phone from Anne Fleur. She was kind, understanding, and very decisive. I started 1-on-1 coaching with Floor. It seemed too good to be true: could 8 sessions really be enough to bring about change? I can wholeheartedly answer 'Yes' to that question. I mainly learned to set better boundaries and understand where my difficulty in doing so comes from. Together with Floor, I truly reprogrammed my brain.
It now feels much more natural, which is funny to notice. The best part is that I have more energy left, and that was one of the reasons to contact Brain Balance. The other reasons were to fall into my survival mode less often and to lose weight. The coaching with Floor was very pleasant: like everyone else I met at Brain Balance, Floor is also very understanding and kind, she listens well, is quick to react, is very decisive, and really made me think, which allowed me to make changes. Very nice!
The EMD test revealed that my stomach was not functioning properly
At our first meeting, Anne Fleur suggested doing an EMB test (blood test). I never thought it could be so useful. The test revealed that my stomach was not functioning properly, likely due to prolonged stress and the use of too much aspirin. I recognized it; I used antacids daily and by then didn't know what I could eat without getting heartburn. Based on the test, Anne Fleur gave me a lot of advice, which she explained very clearly. Initially, I was quite skeptical: among other things, I had to stop consuming lactose, gluten, and sugar. My brain had some thoughts on that, haha. Still, I started following all the advice because I wanted to get rid of the problem. Moreover, Anne Fleur explained to me that because my stomach wasn't functioning properly, I couldn't get as much energy from my food, and losing weight was also difficult.
Never again on antacids
In addition to dietary advice, I received recommendations for supplements. And the result is astounding: my heartburn is almost completely gone. Very occasionally I still feel something, but it's really negligible. I never take antacids anymore, I don't need them, and I can enjoy food again. So incredibly nice! I am happy to share my story to help other people. I was skeptical, but I have been so lovingly and usefully guided by the Brain Balance team and Charlotte Labee Supplements, with very good results.
Hypnotherapy for removing limiting blockages
Finally, I had a hypnotherapy session with Amber. During coaching and also with weight loss, I noticed that I still had blockages that I couldn't access. My survival instinct regularly took over, and that didn't feel good. This put my body in a stress state that was often not necessary at those moments. Together with Amber, I went on a search in my subconscious during a hypnotherapy session for what was preventing me from letting this go. This too was truly amazing: in one session everything became clear, I could let it go and replace it with other thoughts and behavior. Very beautiful, special and helpful.
I find it so interesting that I am looking forward to taking the ' Update your Brain Level 1' course. I'm looking forward to it! By the way, you are never pressured into anything by the therapists. They also actively look at whether you can reduce certain supplements, and the coaching is precisely aimed at enabling you to do it yourself. No sales pitch, that's truly how I experienced it.
