Sandy's Story - Video Preview

“For so long, I identified with depression, it was who I was. Now I don’t even recognize that person. This program has been a gift. I feel like a completely different person. I feel like a part of me has come back to life. I have no desire to go lay in bed, just have too much to do, too much life to live. This must be how it feels to live without depression.”

— Sandy.

Measured Results from Our Program

By Day 30, every participant experienced measurable improvement:

  • 100% of participants reported improved mood and energy levels.
  • Symptoms of depression decreased 60–73% across all validated scales.
  • 80% reached remission or mild ranges of depression symptoms.
  • Participants also showed parallel reductions in anxiety.
  • The results have been long-lasting — participants who kept practicing
    the diet and new habits continued to feel well long after returning home.

The above outcomes were measured using validated clinical scales, including PHQ-9, GAD-7, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D 17), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II).

“My life before this program was difficult. I wasn’t living, just barely existing. My psychiatrist told me about the Healing Depression Project and said it was absolutely worth trying. This program was a game changer for me. I never would have made so many positive changes on my own. This experience has completely changed my life. I feel a million times better and finally alive again, with the strength and voice to say what I want and need.”

“The ketogenic diet has done more for me in 30 days than medication did in 10 years. Coming to this program was the single best thing I’ve done for myself since I got sick. It’s been transformational in every way. I feel wholesale change in my mind and body. I now have so much love for myself and optimism about my life. It feels like that weight has been lifted, and now the sky is the limit for me.”

— Jack W, March 2025 Program Participant

“I’ve had severe depression for over 30 years. I tried so many treatments, but nothing truly worked. I knew I had to get out of my house if I was going to heal. This program was transformative and has changed how I see myself. I now see someone who has personal power, and I’ve gained my confidence back. I feel my passion starting to come back, which was completely gone. A part of me has come back to life that I’d forgotten was even there.”

“what about this version? This program is transformational. It is unlike anything I have ever seen, heard of, and definitely ever experienced. Within the first week I felt a dramatic change in my brain fog, in my energy, in my depression and mood. On an energetic level, I wake up alert. I wake up hopeful. I wake up excited for my morning routine. The environment, structure, and ongoing professional support and guidance were incredible. I have a greater peacefulness in myself, in my whole being.”

— Shari
