"Just wanted to say that today's teacher was amazing! She did such a great job interviewing the client, explaining pathogenesis, breaking down the treatment plan, and answering questions. It was very organized, thorough, and informative. Would love to see more classes like this!"
"On a personal health level, my eating habits and beliefs about food changed drastically. I learned to better understand my unique needs. I also learned to separate the overwhelming amount of online health information for the general population and narrow it down to what I actually needed for my body. As a result, my weight is lower then ever. My digestion is the best I can recall it being in my life. I also see my husband and children benefiting now and in the future from all the knowledge I have gained."
"These were so helpful. Even as a practitioner this was not something that I had a lot of experience coming into the class and the things I discovered during these exercises were amazing."
"I pushed myself to familiarize myself not only with herbal remedies and their many uses, dhatus, srotas and many other Ayurvedic concepts but also with brand colours, fonts or how to write my own bio when it came to business planning. John doesn't leave anything to chance but believes in giving you the best foundation when starting out as an Ayurvedic digestive health coach. Trust him"
"My diet is completely changed, Ive lost 35#, I have a much healthier view of life and my place in it.."
"I just spent two hours on the Joyful Belly website, just looking around and LEARNING. Have you all seen what is offered to us, just free information given in easy to understand language??!! I have referred every one of my family, friends and clients to this site. I am overwhelmed with gratitude, John Joseph Immel. And I just cannot imagine having all this knowledge at my fingertips. Thank you!"
"HI! I miss you! I want you to know from the bottom of my heart how grateful and appreciative of all the knowledge, time, energy, and compassion you gave to me during the MID program. I'm honored to have been in this class. I have learned so much! My mind, body and spirit is still processing and slowly assimilating. I have decided to find my way by incorporating more in-depth digestion lessons of Ayurveda into the existing 5 sense programs/classes I offer, therapies etc. I will add this knowledge to my cooking classes, creating more balancing recipes and lectures on weight loss etc..
I'm compounding my herbal and essential oil blends for my patient's with new insight, along with tweaking some of my existing formularies. As a clinical aromatherapist I'll able to add so much more for my patient when formulating and to my aromatherapy teachings for my students this knowledge will give my students another lens to view all of the precious oils and carriers I discuss in lecture. I'm able to supercharge my nature walk/talks and outdoor lectures, and outdoor yoga classes with even more renewed- exuberance!
I'm using the Ayurvedic knowledge on dosha to create an even more personalized sound therapy session along with an even greater for detail for massotherapy, marma-tcm-accupressure point therapy, hypnosis, ect..
I will be FOREVER grateful!"
"Before I sleep tonight, I just want to share my gratitude for being a student at Joyful Belly. to be able to learn from you is an opportunity of a lifetime. I never knew one could feel so connected in an online course. Quite an amazing journey, and thank you to all the classmates for sharing each week, i'm sure I will be re listening to our lectures nostalgically in the future so I hope everyone knows how appreciated they are."
"Joyful belly is a treasure trove of information and resources to get you started on healthy eating and bring your body to balance, even better if you work alongside an Ayurvedic doctor. John is a very kind and attentive teacher, he makes himself available to address students' concerns via Telegram though he has a busy schedule."
"First of all I would just like to say that I am LOVING this course. It's so interesting and applicable for someone who suffers from digestive discomfort. I have already felt a shift after implementing very simple changes."
"I have enjoyed this course so much, it's been a life changer and so glad I did the step to take it."
"Ive been doing really well actually since MID.
I started doing some classes in m home on basic stuff like kitchari and transitioning to fall, the doshas, the importance of digestive health from an ayurbedic perspective etc.
People have really seemed to take an interest. Ive had over 50 people between my classes over the last 4 months alone.
Im also teaching an online course based on Yogahealers model and have 10peoe enrolled in that longer course.
Im loving my foundation I got at joyful belly and am very grateful for what you gave to me."
"The Dosha composition quiz is one of the most comprehensive tests you can find on the internet and the website has a huge collection of recipes for all the seasons. The recipes are nourishing, tasty and leave you satisfied."
"I've been meaning to e-mail since we graduated to say thank you SO much for all your support on the course, organizing everything, giving us amazing insightful lectures and everything that you've done behind the scenes since I can imagine it must be a mammoth task!"
"Thank you so much, for everything! This course has been one of the best learning experiences I have ever had. I am thankful for the challenge, it makes my success much sweeter! I am excited to continue my learning journey!"
"I came into the Joyful Belly Master of Digestion program with many years of knowledge and passion surrounding nutrition, health and wellness. I wanted to elevate my holistic health knowledge to a higher level. I never realized how much I would be getting out of this program. From a broader perspective, my understanding of holistic health has in fact reached the deeper level I aspired to. The program enriched my understanding of what many of us are struggling with on a day to day basis. I also understand more about how to help myself and others reach more of our short and long term health goals. I came out at the end of this program with more knowledge then I could have ever believed possible in such a short amount of time. I am extremely grateful for the experience."
"I am enjoying my new awareness with my studies. My husband who is supportive and skeptical in many ways told me that I look more \"vibrant\" in his words than ever in our 21 years together.
I feel like I am bursting with bodily awakening. This is so powerful!
At this time of year, I want to share my gratitude for being a part of this cohort and transformative education!"
