Client Success Story
John Doe
Private Consult
John Doe’s health was suffering due to the 6 to 8 64-ounce Diet Pepsi consumption he slurped down daily.

The Challenge
Although ‘John’ was a slender 28-year-old man, a recent medical exam revealed high blood pressure, osteoporosis, tooth enamel erosion, and an elevated A1C. He complained of mood swings and stomach upset.
It was John’s intuition that Diet Pepsi could be a contributing factor to his health issues. His medical doctor commented that he could reduce it a bit, but it was OK if he enjoyed it.
He was desperate to stop the soda addiction but, at the same time, scared to not have ‘his drink’ to keep his stress at bay. From morning until night, he guzzled iced Diet Pepsi from his treasured Big Gulp cup.
Solutions
At my request, “John” brought in his Big Gulp cup, a 2-liter bottle of Diet Pepsi, and his straw for his experience. Two concerns needed attention: his Diet Pepsi consumption and his high stress levels.
The presence of his addiction-related paraphernalia and the bottle of Diet Pepsi on the other side of the room triggered anxiety and jitteriness. He stated that the icy carbonation of Diet Pepsi provided him with steady calm and helped him manage his overall stress.
Using the Emotional Freedom Technique, guided imagery, and breathwork, he soon realized an important truth – that Diet Pepsi provided a convenient way to create the illusion of stress reduction. However, in reality it was contributing to it, as evidenced by his medical records and related concerns.
We gradually explored the nuances of addiction, paying special attention to details such as the sound of a bottle opening and neutralizing all the excitement linked to it. He was surprised when he discovered the various sensory experiences that contributed to the addiction – it was more than drinking the soda.
‘John’ also discovered that the more associated excitement he neutralized, the more relaxed and energized he felt.
‘John’ confidently stated that he no longer needed or wanted Diet Pepsi. I encouraged him to take one final sip to confirm that the addiction was truly over.
Results
Feeling relaxed and hesitant, he took a sip of Diet Pepsi and gasped, spitting it out in shock because it burned like acid in his mouth. “How in the h*** did I drink that stuff? What the heck is it? I am done with it!” he said.
He trashed all associated paraphernalia and the Diet Pepsi.
At the follow-up session, we created a tailored Stress Relief Blueprint: a specialized service to help him navigate his life more calmly and with less stress.
A few weeks later, at the follow-up consult, ‘John’ reported that he has no desire to drink Diet Pepsi, is drinking more water, is sleeping better, and has been applying the strategies listed in his tailored Stress Relief Blueprint. He reported that he felt free for the first time in his life!
He also continues to rebuild his bone and gut health using Nutritional Frontiers products.
