Since working with Liliana to make changes to my diet, I have been completely taken off of the high blood pressure medicine I had been taking for years. I feel so free now that I don’t have to remember to take medication every single day, twice a day. Not to mention, I no longer have to suffer from the side effects of the medicine. I have confidence that if I continue with the diet changes, I will also have a healthy pregnancy. It’s amazing how changing my diet has increased my confidence in my health and my ability to deal with my anxiety.

I had trouble with my back for almost 8 years. It all started after I gave birth to my daughters, so painful on certain days that I was in tears, and few times got to the point where I couldn’t get up from bed for days. Some days were just ok but there wasn’t any time that I was pain free in that period. Liliana thank you so much for your recommendations and the book “How to heal your back through mind and body connection”….OMG, that was miraculous to me. Did I mention, prior to reading the book Liliana recommended I tried everything else: physiotherapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, massages…..nothing helped much, and when it did it was temporary.
As soon as I got the book, one hour into reading my back stopped hurting. Well, I know that some of you will say that this is impossible, but that was 100% my experience…miracle. The writer of the book said it can happen that fast but usually takes few weeks for people to get it. Whit this knowledge you have nothing to lose, except the pain. I noticed if I am under a lot of stress the pain returns for a while but I don`t give it too much attention, and usually after just 10 minutes of meditation it goes away. I now realize there is nothing wrong with my back, it is all connected to my subconscious somehow. Stress has a lot to do with it and luck of understanding the problem cognitively.
Thank you Liliana so much for your suggestions, you gave me my life back in a way 🙂

One of my client’s e-mails during the weight loss program:
“Another thing that’s really interesting, is that I feel like I’m losing weight on the inside,
not just the outside. My inner body feels lighter somehow.
I can’t explain how, but it does. I never felt this before, while losing weight.
It was always about the number on the scale, and outward measurements.
It’s very cool :)”

It is this kind of feedback that makes my days and keeps me so passionate about coaching

“I’ve been working with Liliana to address a number of health issues over the
last year. Her advice and guidance have been invaluable. What I
appreciate most is that she’s taken the time to fully understand my
situation. The customized nutritional and supplement solutions she’s
recommended have helped me heal. I truly value her thorough and balanced
approach. I highly recommend Liliana.”

“When I came to Liliana, I was having migraines at least twice a week on top of daily headaches. I had been through MRI’s, blood tests, and tried a multitude of preventative medications. Nothing helped. I was skeptical when I spoke with Liliana, thinking that how could something so simple work. Within six weeks of following Liliana’s suggestions, I was headache free. My concentration is better, and I just have much better days then I use to. Thanks to Liliana for her kind approach, beneficial experience and knowledge and encouragement to work through the pain of detoxing. It has been a life change for me!”
Thank you!

Dear Liliana,
I do not believe I can clearly express right now the extent to which you helped me, but I can give you an update. This past summer I believed would have been a time of revelation and growth because of the progress I made with your help. As it turned out, the summer was a time of working on those things I had learned and finding out that there were more things to learn, all of which I do not think were possible without the progress I made with your help.
Currently I am in the middle of a very intense semester of school and now want to take a little time to step back and reflect a little on the past year.
First, let me remind you of our time together as I remember it. Actually, let me start with some background on what led me to you.
In January of 2008, my marriage of over 20 years came to an end. This was devastating to me in every possible way, mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Though the civil end came that January, the previous several years were full of devastating endings. The only things that kept me alive during this time were my faith in God and His real presence in my life, a few close friends and family members, and the opportunity to chase after a childhood dream, finishing college…oh, and the time and ability to excel at something I enjoyed doing, mountain biking.
In April of 2008, I experienced a burn-out. A real burn out where my body began to shut down in ways I had never experienced. It started with my digestive system. Tried as I did, nothing seemed to help. After a month and a half, I saw my family physician, explained my situation, and he recommended having an ultrasound of my gall bladder. When the results came back with bile sludge, his only advice was to take a Ursodiol to keep gall stones from forming. That’s it! I am still blown away every time I think of this advice and how misplaced and harmful it actually was to me.
From there I sought out doctor after doctor without any real relief from the miserable way I was feeling. I found a nutritionist who had the most beneficial advice at this time. She focused on my mineral and vitamin deficiencies and recommended some helpful nutritional steps. I experienced some minor relief but still believed there was more to learn and so I continued my search seeing more doctors. One in particular believed that possibly the gall bladder function could be of real concern and recommended I see a surgeon. The surgeon believed the gall bladder should come out. So, September 2008 it came out. Soon after I realized this did not help me feel any better. Distraught, I sought out other doctors. I found an MD specializing in GI disorders and he listened to all that I had been through and recommended more drug therapies and diagnosed me with IBS, saying I met all the criteria of ROME III IBS. I continued seeing him on and off for over one and a half years basically settling into the idea that I would have to learn how to live feeling the way I did.
Then, in August 2010, I saw this same doctor again in an on-going attempt to try and learn as much as I could about my condition with a hope for possible improvements, and he suggested something that no one had said to me before. He recommended that I go to my family physician (not the one from the beginning) and discuss possible therapies for anxiety. I left there thinking this was another suggestion for lack of any other alternative. That evening I went home and began searching the Internet for information about anxiety.
As I read, I began to think this was something very helpful to my situation so I made an appointment with my family physician as the doctor had recommended. I saw him and he recommended a drug therapy and referred me to a team of counselors that included a psychiatrist and psychologists. Before seeing the counselors, I continued my Internet search and found AnxietyCentre.com. It was here that I received much encouragement and gained a belief that I could get better. When I met with the psychiatrist, she recommended drugs for depression and anxiety and made an appointment with an in-house psychologist. After several months I felt I was not making much progress so I called AnxietyCentre.com and spoke with Marilyn Folk about my situation and asked if she believed IBS could be cured. She said yes, and that I should make an appointment with you. In December 2010, we met.
When we finally spoke I was encouraged by your positive spirit and your systematic ways. Quickly you went to work determining my current state of nutritional wellness as well as listening intently to my situation. Your first recommendation for me was to find a way to eliminate the dependence on the drugs. I did this surprisingly quickly according to you but it was easier than expected as I knew from reading AnxietyCentre this is what would need to be done.
Soon after you had me on a nutritional regimen unlike anything I had ever tried, learning to meditate, and finding many more things to be encouraged about. After a month of coaching and following through on your recommendations, I had the sense that something was different. Things were improving.
We continued our sessions and by March 2, I had experienced something I had not felt in almost three years. For a few days in a row, I had complete relief from the GI pain and discomfort. If I could have this for a few days, then, with enough practice and work, I could be completely healed.
We continued our sessions through the beginning of May at which time I believed I had all the tools necessary to completely succeed. I have since received some help realizing that negative thoughts can sabotage any good thing in life. This too I will overcome. You helped me deal with this during the time of coaching through your encouragement and dispelling the lies of negative thoughts each time I brought them up to you. Clearly, my issues were complex, not only nutritional, but psychological. I believe my situation shows the importance of a holistic approach. In fact, there seems no other way for healing except holistically. You certainly did this for me.
So, here we are, a summer passed and now in the middle of an intense semester of school. I am beginning to believe that soon I will go back to work. Soon meaning next semester or next summer. I have plans formulating in my mind. It’s exciting.
IBS. I laugh. I smile. I believe I can do anything. I have overcome IBS. I’m sure you know. Read Wikipedia. There is no cure!! But I am cured!
I still practice the things you taught me. They are part of my new life. I want to know more though. I want to know more of what you know about how to help people. First, I must finish my degree in electrical engineering. Then possibly a masters. Who knows? Whatever it is, it’s going to be good!
I would like to have another session with you sometime in the future. Maybe during my winter break that begins December 15 so that I can focus more on what you have to teach me. If I can help you in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me.
God bless you.

I have worked with Liliana Tosic for 6 months, and she has helped me so much with making sure I was getting the right nutrition for my body with an anxiety disorder. She is a wealth of knowledge, and has been so supportive in my recovery.
Her kindness and patience while I kept working on this, has been wonderful. I have some health phobias, and working with her has really helped me. I now am more calm knowing I am doing the right thing for my body and helping it to heal. She really helped calm some of my fears with conditions I was afraid I might have. Thank you for all your helpful information.

I want to thank Liliana for the nutritional knowledge and support she gave me to help overcome many of my stress symptoms. I had seen other healthcare professionals who put me on many supplements to help me with my digestion and adrenal issues (which was unbalanced due to stress). However, Liliana’s approach to my problem taught me how to use food rather than just supplements alone for my healing. Her calming manner with which she approached my issues helped remove fear and gave me hope.
She has not only shown me how to fix my hyperglycemia and digestion problems but has also saved me money doing it. I never thought nutrition had much to do with my stress, but it did. Liliana’s straight forward, no nonsense instruction gave me back a normal life. I am very grateful to her for all her help. After just a few weeks, I’m getting my life back and I feel like a new person.

In August of 2010, I found the anxietycenter.com web site at a time when I needed help dealing with the early warning signs of bipolar mania. I had not been sleeping well, and was experiencing mood swings. I needed to avoid hospitalization at all costs. I wanted to try to deal with my situation without increasing the low dose of Abilify (2 mg daily) that I had been taking. I made an appointment with Liliana Tosic, anxietycentre.com’s nutritional counselor. As a result of my initial consultation, she identified sources of dietary stress, including the large amounts of decaffeinated coffee I had been drinking. She recommended I give up the decaf and some other simple dietary changes. It felt good to begin to take an active role in my own health and I was confident that by following her suggestions I would be on the path to wellness. I began to notice that I was less irritable within days of beginning my new regime. Although it took until the middle of October for my sleep pattern to normalize, I am happy to report that I am finally getting nearly eight hours of uninterrupted sleep nightly. I have not slept this well since before my last hospitalization three years ago.
Thank you, Liliana, for your insight, your cheerful guidance and your prayers on my behalf. You have a real gift for your vocation. May God continue to bless you and others through you.
