Some of Our Success Stories

Innergtics is the missing piece. It's the answer for that "thing" you've been carrying around within you, that you so want to understand, but we don't get there, if we run away from what resistance appears and give up on recording. The reward comes from finally recording and being ready for what comes up. So I stuck with it, learning, learning, learning. It has been fascinating and so healing. My relationship with food is healed. So it has been absolutely worth, every effort and every tear and the time its taken, it couldn't have been any other way.

I again, cannot express enough, the importance of recording, putting that pen to paper. That recording card is your friend, it is your gentle mirror, it is your case study's friend and mirror. It's the most perfect, respectful way of seeing through the layers to one's own behaviors and what drives them. So you can understand, turn them around, and heal them.

Shirley Billigmeier, you are phenomenal! Now I am hungry and ready to eat, peacefully, with joy and appreciation, and I already have some delicious food waiting for me, and I cannot wait to truly enjoy it, with my glass of delicious red wine.

I’ve been a health books writer since 1988, the year Rodale Press hired me as lead writer for a very successful book on mind-body medicine. Since then, I’ve worked with many of the leading lights in the health and wellness field. I’ve heard many theories over the years about why we gain weight and how best to slim down to our optimal weight. Some of these folks, to their credit, had a least part of the answer right.

I believe that Shirley Billigmeier’s system, Innergetics, is in complete alignment with nature, and has a completeness and spiritual depth that no other weight management process has. Thanks to what I have learned from her, I have been able to clear from my psyche fear that if I, a survivor of multiple rapes, allowed my body to be beautiful, I would be attacked again. If I had not been using the Innergetics process, I might never have encountered that block and moved through it. Once I met that fear head on and challenged it, I transformed from a woman stuck in a body that was slightly overweight, as a protection, into a woman unafraid to allow her natural beauty to shine through. I am very confident that Innergetics will help me reach my ideal weight, even though as I write this, I am in my fifth decade of life and my metabolism has clearly slowed down.

I met Shirley in the most serendipitous of ways, standing in line to see the Steve Colbert show in New York City. I was at a pinnacle of frustration about my lifetime obsession with food. I had to find a different answer than trying the latest fad, which never worked. I grew up with a mother who was grossly obese. Food was my sole source of connection and nurturing. My earliest memory of me was at age 3 waiting for the box of Chocolate Cocoa Puffs to reach me after my six other siblings served themselves. 

After meeting Shirley, I quickly understood that a connection with nutrition, food, or eating could be as natural as breathing. Food and stress were one and the same for me. The chaos of 7 children, 2 parents, and 3 dogs overwhelmed any chance I ever had to have the natural and easy connection with food we are born with. I have that relationship now after working with Shirley. I call Shirley’s approach ‘learning to eat again from the inside out.’ I credit her coaching for helping me reconnect with the inner guidance I was born with. As I say now, food is one of a thousand choices I have for pleasure and connection, not my only choice!

I discovered Innergetics eight months after having my second child, nearly 40 pounds overweight and struggling with a badly sprained ankle, low body image, and the exhausting mental burden of dieting. After losing 50 pounds following my first pregnancy through strict low-carb eating and exercise, I knew how much deprivation, planning, and discipline that approach required and I did not want to live that way again. Enter Shirley and Innergetics.

Innergetics is truly like nothing else. Through simple, self-paced steps such as recording my eating occasions, sitting whenever I ate, and learning to recognize true hunger and fullness, I began losing one to two pounds a week without deprivation. Instead of focusing on mistakes, fat, and restriction, Innergetics taught me to see learning opportunities, storage, abundance, and choice. I learned why I was eating when I wasn’t hungry, how to process emotions without food, and how to listen to my body’s natural boundaries.

In roughly three and a half months, I lost 38 pounds of storage, but the newfound confidence, freedom, energy, and peace mean even more. Shirley supported me throughout the entire process, ensuring I was successful at each step before moving forward. I am now able to enjoy food without constant mental chatter and model healthy eating boundaries for my daughters. As Shirley so wisely says, “Life is complicated, eating should be simple.” Because eating is now so simple for me, I’m eager to experience all life has to offer!

I felt out of control around food most of the time. I tried to break the habit so many times but nothing I tried worked. Then my partner introduced me to Shirley and her Innergetics process. It was very different than anything I had come across before, but it felt right. Shirley turned out to be an amazing counselor and guide! Shirley gave me the understanding, tools, and techniques I needed to successfully transform my perspective on eating. She taught me how to create realistic structure and better boundaries around eating so that I can better monitor my food intake. What I love about her approach is that I never feel I have to deprive myself and no food is taboo.

Thanks to Shirley and Innergetics, which is a very doable process, I am now more conscious in the moment and have much more control over when I stop eating. I no longer consume everything in sight. Shirley helped me discover what it was that drove me to eat in the past. I believe Innergetics is prescient and revolutionary in the weight management field. This program is exactly what’s needed at a time when so many of us are seeking self-acceptance, self-growth, and spiritual evolution. I wholeheartedly recommend Shirley’s work! If you’ve struggled throughout your life with chronic overeating and tried and tried to stop this behavior like I have, Innergetics is your guiding light!

The Innergetics program is based on Shirley Billigmeier's groundbreaking book.  

Inner Eating

The process of Inner Eating is at once an elegant gift to the reader, and a very personal process of reclamation of self by the reader, in which she or he identifies and then pares away all the issues irrelevant to food. But more than that, it’s a revolutionary concept in the field of weight loss, control, and eating disorders. It is not a diet. It requires no rituals or meetings.

Inner Eating is a gift from Shirley to help you on your journey to a better relationship with food.
