"Dear John, Thank you again for starting me on this path with Ayurveda. I'm on day 24 just with mindfulness and so far it has been like quitting drinking and cigarettes, pretty easy! It just blows me away. As soon as I feel a bit more stable I will go off the last one of my prescription meds, Neurontin. Happen to be going through menopause now as well but I am not letting any of the symptoms stop my progress. Choosing it all! Marriage, family, life, all better than I could have ever imagined, just amazing.
Thank you again, your help has been immeasurable!
With love,
-Anonymous"

"I love your info and heart felt interests in sharing your input. Thank you..
:-)"
"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!"
"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!"
"John did a wonderful job in presenting completely new concepts to a varied group of students, answering questions patiently and clearly. I felt like a whole new world opened up for me, one in which my body can and will be healthy. It is attainable more easily than I initially believed. It brought back the knowledge of wholeness which can so easily slip further and further into the background with our busy lives and non-supportive patterns we find ourselves in. John's teachings about balance also reminded me that the responsibility to heal myself is in my own lap, no excuses!"
"Your experience shines so brightly in this class and I so appreciate it/you!"
"Oh wow, so many things about this course inspire me, and my family! Just simply the privilege of acquiring such deep knowledge of this science is a huge inspiration. I am certainly inspired to continue the journey beyond AHC as well. This has been a terrific start. I'm enjoying all of it. I just need to balance my Pitta (and Vata) sometimes because I love reading all things Ayurveda and listening to podcasts too (daily), on top of the course materials! I would really love to go for a PhD. "
"thanks so much for the wonderful class last night! Learned a lot and it's good right now for me to hear some things again and again, it's sinking in. You have a very light and playful way of presenting and you're funny! Makes the material, especially in an evening class, very easy to digest (hey, nice pun, eh?)!"
"The course has been one of the best "gifts" I have ever gifted myself, as in the past I have had a complicated, not so healthy relationship with food. Ive often said to myself, if I could overcome this one obstacle, I could rule the world. My biggest inspiration comes simply from listening to the stories of the diverse voices on the lectures, both students and instructors. My second inspiration comes from implementing the concepts into my daily life. Thank you once again for accepting me at last minute. I appreciate you."
"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."
"We are slowly but surely working Ayurvedic priniciples into our
lifestyle. My husband has developed a distinct liking for Tumeric and is finding
new uses for it everyday. We are both making more conscious food choices by
making our own meals. I feel so much better when I have lighter,
Pitta-friendly meals.
I also recently told my parents about your website! My mother convinced my
father to look up Joyfulbelly.com-- your influence is spreading to members
of our family!"
"I love, love, love this website and John Immel is the best! After 30 years of practicing & teaching nutrition, my eyes were opened WIDE to eating for my dosha and I enjoy it so much. I'm losing weight effortlessly, feel amazing (at 52), adore his recipes and I'm happy knowing I'll eat this way the rest of my life. Joyful belly is now my favorite online resource (encyclopedia) and I trust John wholeheartedly. If you are considering taking his cleanse, course, a consult or just using his recipes - I say YES! My 76 year old Mom is loving this with me, it has changed her life too, Yippee! Thank you John, many blessings"
"I received my download this week and loved it...I am the poster child for Kapha body type...practically as round as I am tall. I am looking forward to learning more about Ayurveda. I have also become a regular user of lemon cayenne and the ginger teas from the website and facebook posts. Love them both :-)"
"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."
