Stina says:” I don’t guarantee particular results. What I do guarantee is that I will work to the best of my ability to find things that will help you. I know a lot, and I am always learning more. I love helping people feel better.”
Here are some stories of the work she has done.
1- After M. had a hysterectomy for uterine cancer, Stina suggested an anti-inflammatory diet so the cancer would not come back again. At the 6 months check-up with the oncologist, his comment was, keep doing what you’re doing, you look great. Stina’s question to M. was, can you keep doing this? M’s response was, why would I not? It’s so easy!
2 – S. had been to several doctors who had suggested anti-depressants and thyroid supplementation. Things got worse, and she felt like she was losing her mind. Stina put her on an elimination diet, and also did MTT and some other mind-body techniques with her. In 3 weeks, she had lost 9 inches of inflammation from her waist, 4 pounds, and was beginning to lose a lot of the brain fog. Gluten and milk products, as well as iodine (no more shrimp!) and cantaloupe (who knew?) proved to be serious triggers. Together they figured out that her panic attacks were due to food intolerance reactions. When you can’t breathe very well, a panic attack is a rational response!
3 – K. was referred to Stina for help with major anxiety attacks and agoraphobia. After doing MTT with K, Stina found out that K had polyps growing in her lungs and that the Stanford docs were totally stumped. Stina suggested that perhaps it was due to leaky gut syndrome. The first response to leaky gut is to do an elimination diet, but Stina was rather dubious about K’s ability to do this, since K didn’t cook – at all. However, Stina walked her through how to get what kinds of food to do the diet, and K followed through. She was able to cut her inhaler use almost immediately, and her anxiety attacks dropped to almost nothing.
4 – A. was diagnosed with Muneiere’s Syndrome after a terrible period of nausea and weight loss. The medical doctor told him to stay on an extremely low sodium diet. He still would get nauseated easily, and was always concerned about his sodium intake. Stina led him through a session of MTT, and gave him a nutritional aide so that he would not have to worry so much about the sodium intake. At the end of the session, he did not feel any of the nausea that he had previously felt, and he couldn’t even imagine it – which was amazing to him.
5 – After two sessions with Stina, L. said she had changed his life, he was no longer addicted to sugar. He had quit smoking cold turkey, and had shifted the addiction from nicotine to sugar. After the first session of MTT, his job stress reaction dropped enormously, and then by the end of the second session, the sugar addiction was gone.
6 – E tells her friends, when you’re ready for a real change, go to Stina. Her friends wanted to know how much exercise she was doing to change her figure that much, and how much weight had she lost anyway? E said that she didn’t know, this was not about weight loss, it was about getting healthy. She was stunned that so much of what she had thought was “good” was not helping her at all. When she changed her diet and walked 3x a week, she saw the results, but more important, she felt them. She started losing the inflammation that is formed at a cellular level when you eat the wrong food – she even dropped a shoe size!
7 – K came back to Stina after a year with these words: Every tool you have taught me works, and it has made such a difference. Thank you!
8 – when I told my doctor about the diet you gave me, he was, to say the least, very skeptical. Thursday I took the test again to determine if I had Gastroentrititis. The Doctor called me that night and told me the test showed that my stomach was normal. He said that I should keep on with whatever I was doing because it was obviously working. No surprises but I thought you should know about it. I still get a giggle at how amazed he was. Thank you again for taking your time for me. I haven’t felt this good in over a year.
