"Before starting the
tummy team, I knew I had a Diastasis but did not know if it was possible to
heal this condition, and did not fully understand how this condition was
affecting many aspects of my health.
After each of my three children were born, I found myself gradually back
at a healthy weight where I did not want to lose any more weight, but with a
protruding tummy. I appeared to have
excess belly fat, and I often thought this was just part of having babies. My tummy protruded more than ever after my
third child, and even at a healthy weight, I found I only fit into my stretch
pants comfortably. I went to a
postpartum P.T. in town who specializes in losing the "pooch" who
tried to help me, but had me doing some crunch exercises that were making matters
worse. I read a book about belly fat,
bought some postpartum videos (filled with crunch motions done by women who
appeared to have "perfect" postpartum tummies without even a stretch
mark to show), incorporated cardio exercises into my daily routine, and I ate
very healthily. I still felt very
frustrated and sad about the appearance and feel of my body. After researching all my options on the
internet, I came across the Tummy Team website.
Since I had never purchased an online program before, I was
skeptical. I am so thankful I made the
decision to try the Tummy Team program.
I felt the knowledge I gained from the first week alone was worth the
investment. I lost a total of five
inches around my waist in eight weeks, with no change in my diet, and no cardio
exercise (I only focused on the Tummy Team program postural changes and
exercises during the eight week program).
I started off with a deep, three finger width Diastasis at my belly
button, and it was completely closed after three weeks on this program. I now fit into my clothing comfortably and I
no longer have a protruding tummy. I
love how structured this program is, making it easy to fit into a busy
schedule. The timing of the progress
always seemed perfect for what my body needed.
For example, when I was feeling my upper body needed help, there was a
focus on upper body stretches. I have
always had poor posture, and for the first time in my life I have great posture
that feels natural, and effortless. I no
longer suffer from low back pain. My
digestion has also improved, along with a greater awareness and understanding
of how issues with digestion were further damaging my core. One symptom that surprised me the most during
this program was I noticed a disappearance in foot pain. Before starting this program, my feet hurt
first thing in the morning and throughout the day unless I wore running shoes
in the house. Now I go bare foot all day
around the house and notice no foot pain.
The founder, Kelly Dean, is very knowledgeable, friendly,
compassionate, and professional. I felt
she really cared about my healing journey.
I love the option of Skype sessions with her, for one on one
support. Also, the private Facebook
group is supportive in that a person can ask all of their questions on there
with prompt helpful feedback and support from Kelly Dean and members who are
also working through the program, or already completed the program. I will definitely sign up for the Tummy Team
Prenatal program if we have any more children!"
