I got to know Charlotte Labee, her supplement brand, and the Brain Balance Institute through Charlotte's Instagram posts. I found them useful and inspiring. Unfortunately, I was in the middle of a burnout myself. Thanks to her inspiring posts, I started reading Charlotte Labee's books and following her online course on burnout. I found those very useful too. They definitely helped me. After my burnout, I was doing well, but I was still experiencing lingering symptoms, which is why I contacted the Brain Balance Institute.
Where my journey to more energy and a symptom-free life began
I received excellent help over the phone right away from Anne Fleur. She was kind, understanding, and pleasantly decisive. I started 1-on-1 coaching with Floor. It seemed too good to be true: would 8 sessions really be enough to create change? I can wholeheartedly answer ‘Yes’ to that question. Above all, I learned to set my boundaries better and understand where my difficulty with doing so comes from. In this way, I really reprogrammed my brain together with Floor.
Things now go much more automatically, which is very funny to notice. The best part is that I have more energy left over, and that was one of the reasons for reaching out to Brain Balance. The other reasons were to stop being in survival mode so much and to lose weight. The coaching with Floor was very pleasant: just like all the other people I met at Brain Balance, Floor is very understanding and kind; she listens well, acts quickly, is pleasantly decisive, and really made me think, which allowed me to make changes. Very nice!
The EMB test revealed that my stomach wasn't functioning well
During 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 wasn't functioning well, likely due to long-term stress and the use of too much aspirin. I recognized the problem; I was using antacids daily and by that point, I no longer knew what I could eat without getting heartburn. Based on the test, I received a lot of advice from Anne Fleur, which she explained very clearly. Initially, I was quite skeptical: I had to stop eating lactose, gluten, and sugar, among other things. My brain had something to say about that, haha. Still, I started following all the advice because I wanted to get rid of the symptoms. Moreover, Anne Fleur explained to me that because my stomach wasn't functioning well, I was getting less energy from my food and losing weight was also difficult.
Never using antacids again
In addition to dietary advice, I received recommendations for supplements. And the result is stunning: my heartburn is almost completely gone. Very occasionally I still feel it a little bit, but that is truly negligible. I never take antacids anymore, I don't need them anymore, and I can enjoy eating again. It feels so incredibly good! I am therefore happy to share my story to help other people. I was skeptical, but I received such loving and useful guidance from the team at Brain Balance and Charlotte Labee Supplements, and with very fine results indeed.
Hypnotherapy to clear limiting blocks
Finally, I did a hypnosis session with Amber. During the coaching and also while trying to lose weight, I noticed that I still had blocks I couldn't reach. My survival instinct regularly took over, and that didn't feel good. It put my body in a state of stress that was often not at all necessary in those moments. Together with Amber, I went looking into my subconscious during a hypnotherapy session for what was preventing me from letting this go. This was also truly stunning: in one session everything became clear, I was able to let it go and replace it with different thoughts and behaviors. Very beautiful, special, and helpful.
I find it so interesting that I will be following the ‘Update your Brain Level 1’ course with great pleasure. I’m looking forward to it! By the way, the therapists never force anything on you. On the contrary, they actively check if you can reduce certain supplements, and the coaching is also aimed at you doing it yourself. No sales pitch; that is truly how I experienced it.
