Does Body U Really Make a Difference?
Participants have experienced life-changing results.
“This program (Body U) helped me see a side of me I have not seen in a long time. I saw myself as beautiful. I learned that I am not the only one going through what I am going through, and that there are people willing to help.”
“I liked that the program was self-paced, and very positive. During the program, I learned to do more self-reflection, to be kinder to myself, and about mindfulness.”
“I really liked the content of the program, especially learning tips to change my thinking about food and exercise, and about comparing myself to other people.”
