Young woman loses 15 lbs without ANY focus on her Weight!
“I have been meaning to tell you about my weight loss! 
In my questionnaire that I filled out in the beginning, you [Charley] asked me if weight loss was a goal, and I said ‘no’, and it was true.
BUT, guess what??
I have lost weight, as you might imagine! It is since we have been working together, but started back at my first cleanse with Seth last September/October. . . I weighed 137 back then, and had even gone on a huge 1,100 mile bike ride the fall before, and seemed to remain the same weight all the while, I was shocked! Anyhow, when I was weighing myself over the past 2 weeks, my weight is consistently 122!! That’s 15 pounds over 6 months lost, and I wasn’t trying to lose weight. That said, I am quite pleased. I had bought a new pair of jeans about 2 months ago, a size 9, and since we have been working together, those jeans proceeded to loosen, and eventually hang off me to where I needed to wear long shirts to cover what was being exposed. I ordered two pairs of jeans over the internet, not knowing what size to buy, and bought a size 7, and a size 5, and, it was the size 5 that was the perfect fit! woo hoo! Yayy!
Anyway, for someone who wasn’t trying to lose weight, I sure am happy about it!
So, in addition to helping me get my groove back (balanced blood sugar from healthy nutrition), , thanks for helping me with this aspect as well! “

Hypothyroidism, Terrible Digestive Problems and More!
I always considered myself a healthy person. I have learned a new definition of healthy. I figured that if I got out of bed everyday, functioned at my job, exercised regularly and didn’t catch every virus that came along, I was healthy. It never occurred to me that having numerous food and chemical sensitivities, ringing in the ears, lightheadedness, dizziness, fatigue, hypoglycemia, high cholesterol, diarrhea, bloating, gas and weight gain and being on thyroid medication were all really cries for help from a body that was NOT healthy. The symptoms had come on so gradually over the years that I became accustomed to them and considered them to be normal.
After many years of having dietary issues, searching out numerous doctors, (traditional and alternative) and various tests, I still wasn’t any closer to getting rid of my symptoms. I finally discovered Dr. Charley Cropley and his Food Is Your Best Medicine program.
It has changed my life inside and out!
It has been a year and half that I have been working steadily with Dr. Cropley. I began by following the eating portion of the plan and lost weight. This was good! I could be on to something here. I was motivated. Fasting came next. I’d never fasted before. I’ll starve. I made it through. Bowel cleansing ? What?! You’ve got to be kidding Charley. Surprisingly, not a big deal! I knew to get all the benefits I wanted, I would have to really dive in and do more. So, I jumped in with both feet. I took Charley’s Yoga of Eating course. Scary! From there I began seeing him privately for over one year now. These regular personal consultations have given me the personalized instruction I needed to be able to make the enormous improvements I have made.
Did you know that your symptoms are your body’s way of communicating with you? I didn’t either. Once I realized that I needed to have an open communication with myself and listen to what my body was trying to tell me, the light bulb went on. I learned so much about myself through self-reflection and journaling. This was the hardest step for me. I had never taken the time to talk to myself and get to the bottom of why my body was so unhappy with me. This was key to really accelerating the healing process. Once you learn to treat yourself with love and kindness, it makes it easier to choose healthier paths in relation to food and lifestyle.
My progress has been constant and steady. I have consistently stuck with a clean eating plan for the most part. I notice all the time that my health is improving. The hypoglycemia is gone, my weight has stabilized, my digestion has improved INCREDIBLY. If I stray, I have the knowledge and tools to reel myself back in. I never want to go back to the way I was. If I start to feel sorry for myself, I just tell myself how proud I am of my successes. I’ve done a huge amount of work in the past year and a half. I have achieved a level of Health that seemed impossible to me. I am very proud of myself.

Father & Son Gain Health and Lose Weight Together
“Where do I begin… first I would like to thank Charley for his professionalism, compassion, generosity and the unconditional love that you extended to both myself and my son. Indeed it was a pleasure and a breath of fresh air to work with someone who’s truly an expert in this field. You have such goodness in your heart Charley – Thank you. I would also like to remind you that you saved my mothers life a number of years ago. The tools that you gave her are still thriving today. At 69 years old she has picked up surfing as a hobby. Yes, Surfing. Granted, she’s not going to be hanging ten or be swooping in the tube any time soon, but her new found passion has opened a new dimension in her life. My mom surfing at 69….. This is where and how my compass guided me to you. I was having concerns about my sons health. He’s 11 yrs old and weighed in at 108lbs. My son was having a difficult time concentrating at school, worn out, cranky (more often than not), constantly hungry, indigestion, you name it. More importantly – my son had lost his smile.
I have to admit at first I was a little hesitant when we made the choice to come see you. (Just a little I take pride in that our family has healthy eating habits; “eat your veggies, drink your milk, have some fruit, don’t eat that fatty crap, eat this instead…” And how could my sons eating habits be involved was beyond me. However, after working with you Charley- I feel nothing short of Liberation!!! The things I’ve learned from our consultations and your courses- it boggles the mind and opens your eyes. If you recall, in the first weeks of your nutritional recommendations was a miracle. My son had more energy and he lost a couple of pounds in a few short days.
In the subsequent weeks we’ve uncovered more than one food allergies that have completely changed my sons life. The evidence and transformation is undeniable. I am very happy to say that my son has been reborn in some sense…. He loves his body (now a normal 84 lbs), loves himself and has a new air of confidence of who he is. Most important my son has his smile back. People have since noticed the change in my son and in myself. Most notably is the weight loss – I’ve gone from a peak of 202 lbs to 181 lbs today. And these people ask me- what kind of a diet is that? I have to just laugh and say it’s not “a diet” it goes deeper than just losing weight. It’s eating healthy, being educated…. You need to go see Charley.
Thank you Charley. I’ll see you at the next course this spring and will bring my son around in a couple of months to say hi and check in.”
