From Our Team
“Rebecca is an inspiration and living proof that with work, dedication and perseverance,
health can be restored—even in an individual who is already ‘insulin dependent.’ Her
story is a testament to the incredible power of the human body to heal when it is given
whole foods, daily exercise, and natural therapies.”
– Dr. Mamie Burruss, ND, Director of Naturopathic Medicine
“Amazing! Given the fact that Rebecca never worked out before—she improved in every
area. She started scared, she became a warrior. We are all very proud of her.”
– Erkan Gunes, Director of Fitness
“The compassion and knowledge of the VeraVia team was so encouraging during my stay. They
created a personalized plan that accomplished goals I never thought possible, including ending my
years of insulin dependency. Most importantly, I felt listened to and left VeraVia with the physical
and mental strength to continue lifelong wellness.” -Rebecca
Rebecca also left the retreat with better mental clarity and outlook on life. She feels energized
throughout the day, younger, stronger, happier, and fulfilled. Rebecca continues to follow her VeraVia
dietary and fitness plans with healthy eating, exercising, and taking care of her body, mind, and spirit.
