Check out more details about the Guided Reboot and the plans offered here: http://www.rebootwithjoe.com/guided-reboot/.
And a big thank you to my team, who rebooted together in a test run of the Guided Reboot: 5 Day Plan led by coach and Reboot nutritionist Stacy Kennedy .You can see from their feedback below that it was a success, although tough at times! And kudos to our Community Manager Chris who is still going strong, 23 days of juicing! Accomplishing your Reboot goals, big or small, is never a trouble-free process but with the added support you’ll be surprised at how easy it can be.
“Total success! I lost 6 pounds, and amazingly lost the post-baby belly fat that not even training for the NYC marathon could get rid of. Definitely helpful to do this in a group and with Stacy! I would never have started this on my own, or continued after the first few days. It was hard!” – Kari Thorstensen, Managing Director
“Thrilled to make it to Day 5 and I couldn’t have done it without the group and especially our coach. The support has been fabulous, and I especially love juicing with everyone in the Reboot Kitchen!” – Jamin Mendelsohn, Head of Production
“I feel amazing. I lost a pound a day and I have more energy, more focus, and feel overall much lighter. I had enough energy to get to the gym every morning, which isn’t typical for me. The encouragement to get through each day helped immensely.” – Jamie Schneider, Editorial Content Manager
“Things I found helpful during our Reboot was positive thinking and positive support. I believe when you put in good energy, you can only get something good out of it, just like making a juice! It’s great to stay positive around my fellow Rebooters and get the support I needed by talking about what juices we liked, how we’re feeling, and what we’re planning helped keep me on track.” – Brenna Ryan, Office Administrator
“Incredibly helpful to have Stacy’s direct input on dealing with headaches and low-energy! And amazing how good I felt on day five.” – Chris Zilo, Community Manager
“I was amazed by the amount of energy I had just from drinking juice. I found that my body didn’t need the food I thought it would. I was powered by the micronutrients in the juice, and not weighed down by having to digest my meal.” – Ameet Maturu, Ecommerce Manager
“I felt relieved that is was over but much cleaner from inside out!” – Jessica Paz, Financial Controller
Juice On!

Since watching “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead two weeks ago, I’ve been trying to gather information on how to embark on this journey safely. As a 59 year old woman with an auto immune disease, high blood pressure, arthritis, high cholesterol and triglycerides and a history of heart disease on both sides of my family, I feel as though I’m quickly running out of options. I’ve tried weight watchers, nutrisystems, south beach and a host of fad diets. The list of gyms I have joined is also growing,but due to my arthritis it is difficult to exercise. The idea of a “new start” with a reboot gives me hope that there is something left that can help me. I am 100 pounds overweight. A visit to my doctor’s office was met with much positivity. She is doingnblood work next week. Unfortunately, the economy has taken it’s toll- my husband lost his job in November so the budget is tight. Any help you can give me on how to juice with well rounded nutrition is most welcomed- a new lease on life would enable me to enjoy my grown children, their spouses, and my 4 grandchildren in a way that has been most difficult to date. thanks in advance!!!

Is this just for US residents?
After watching Fat Sick and Nearly Dead, I have tried to reboot twice each time I failed. I want to reboot because I’m 22 years old and about to graduate from college in 6 months but I feel because of my size 6’1 350LBS that I didnt get the full college experience. I will soon be engaged to a beautiful woman who is in great shape and one day I want to have a family and be able to run around with my kids. As a result of my fathers size he wasn’t able to and had type 2 diabetes as well as multiple knee and ankle injuries. I know if I don’t make a change so my path will be pretty similar.
I have had fibromialgia for 15 years. I have been on every kind of medication there is, and it made me sick and fat! I am off of all of my medication, and I need help rebooting my life to regain my health and happiness! 1 of my son is getting married this June, and I want to be healthy for his wedding. and I want to be healthy for myself and for my husband and my mother to son, too!
I had my galbladder removed earlier this year because of a polyp that was causing blockage which was causing serious problems with my liver. Nearly 10 months later and I still don’t feel “well” yet. I’m tired of feeling tired and bloated ALL the time. I tried a 10 day juice fast a few months back but I gave up….it’s harder then it sounds. I KNOW I would feel SO MUCH better if I could give it another go-but am afraid of failing again. So ready to feel better though!
In the words of hockey great, Wayne Gretzky, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take”. Try again. Maybe you will do it this time. The best way to learn is by failing. I have been suffering with IBS for many years!! Having my gallbladder out was terrible! It made my IBS even worse. I’m 51 years old, 5’4″, and weigh 225. I have high blood pressure and I’m on 2 BP meds and 5 GI meds. I’m going to start my fast mid-January after I see my GI doctor. If you need support, I’d be happy to help.
I would love to have help from an expert !
I have been on your program since seeing FSND, November 2,2012.
I am doing this for my health , the weight loss is a plus!
Dear Reboot Family,
My Husband Lucas and I have 2 main reasons for wanting to Reboot. First of all, Lucas has an undiagnosed skin disorder on his hands and head….he’s been tested but the most the doctors can tell us is that it is a “psoriasis” or “eczema” like condition. Those two conditions can neither be confirmed nor denied as what he’s dealing with. He only developed this skin condition 3 or 4 years ago while we were dating. (No, he is not allergic to me…we had already been dating several months when he developed it.
As a kid Lucas had some skin issues as well; as a young, impressionable middle-schooler he had to deal with embarrassing bald spots. Ballcaps became his friend. Based on testimonies of people who have Rebooted (including Joe), we are hoping that his body will self-heal if given the opportunity.
Our second reason for wanting to Reboot is that we are a young married couple who is trying to set ourselves up to be truly healthy (and happy) for the long-term. Personally, I want to have a ton of kids and being a super cool, healthy, rockin’ mom long into life is definitely on my bucket list! (We’re talking future grandma who’ll show up her grandkids on the dance floor kinda cool!)
Thanks for reading,
Christy & Lucas
I earnestly believe that I am held accountable for I take care of my body, my temple, I want to regain a focus and keen awareness that takes places when I rid my body of the toxins that come the foods I eat. I desire to control my body than to let my body control me.
My family and I have watched “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” and also “Forks Over Knives”. We agree that we could and should make better food choices. My husband and I tried juicing and found it to be a little difficult and quite time-consuming. We were not sure how long juice would last (refrigerated); how to incorporate juicing into meals where a juicer in not available nor refrigeration to store prior juiced portions, what fruits or vegetables to substitute for less desirable ones (such as celery).
We both noticed a difference in how we felt when we stopped consuming meat and dairy products. However, due to busy lifestyles it was very easy to fall back into the processed food world. I’d like to be able to try to reboot my eating habits and succeed.
my wanting to reboot has alot to do with “I want”, I want to not be allegeric to so many food types, I want to loose enough weight so it doesn’t put so much pression on my legs that were injured and I’m still carrying pain from, I want to be healthy not just for myself, but for my family and grandchildren as well. I want to be healthy and an example for my community and my people who have high rates of diabetes, heart problems, breathing problems, over eating and the list goes on.
I am 50 years old with bipolar and RSD, I feel fat, sick and nearly dead every day of my life. I am currently trying to reboot myself but would love to be guided along this journey. Motivation isn’t my strong point and I need this to enable me to change my life before it is too late.
I want to reboot because I’m 28 years old I weight 406 and I want a change in my life! Before I died from be in overweight.
I need a kick in the butt to get a healthy lifestyle in my life. I am not terrible, but not great either. I had a total hysterectomy (I was able to keep one ovary) back in August, lets just say things were a mess. I feel better overall after the surgery, but am still so sluggish, tire easily, and with the change in my body’s chemistry due to the surgery, I have gained weight on top of the 20 lbs I gained since my son was born 12 yrs ago, our scale broke and I am scared to buy a new one, lets say pants that fit me six months ago are too tight. I also want to prevent family history repeating itself. My mother underwent surgery for colon cancer in early september, and is still in hospital, we have been told to prepare for her ultimate demise in the next few months. My father died over 20 years ago at the age 64 from heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. In fact heart disease and diabetes is on both sides of my family. I do not want to repeat these patterns in my own health and lifestyle. And I want to show my own three kids, even though we have talked to them about lifestyle and family history, what health and vitality looks and feels like. Which is not being emulated by my husband and myself at this time.
I have watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead a few times. I “get” what I am suppose to do. But with a crazy busy lifestyle, some poor habits which are hard to break, and lets say lack of self discipline when it comes to diet. Hey I love food Throw in a whack of food and environmental allergies (I have numerous people shocked by what I am allergic too LOL) I need someone to keep me and my eating habits in line. Someone to help me be accountable to myself and my goals.
Hi Joe –
I just put down my IPad after watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. I was looking for something to watch and clicked on “Documentaries” – your show was the first to pop up. I believe I was meant to watch it.
I am 53, overweight, with a history of depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and most recently, atrial fibrillation. I have long believed that one day our doctors will prescribe plants for all our various ailments but I have not put my money where my mouth is. Until now.
Thank you for caring enough to create this program and the inspiration you provide to all of us. I am a believer even before I try it!
– Pat
I have juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. I feel trapped inside my own body every second of every day. The medications for this condition have side effects that scare me. I have been told I would need to take them for the rest of my life. I was on methotrexate for 7 months, however, my condition continued to get worse. Some mornings I can’t get out of bed. Sometimes I can’t open a door because my wrists and fingers are so swollen. If I sit for too long I have trouble walking correctly. I toss and turn all night because I can’t sleep which makes me feel drained throughout the day. There has to be another way. I want to reboot because I don’t want to give up hope that I can be healthy again.
I did the 15 day reboot and lost 10 lbs. If i had a movtivator and ppl to push me, wow, the possiblities could be endless!
I watched Fat, Sick and nearly dead with my kids and they told me “you should do that to feel better mom” that made me feel sad and I realized I need to di something and I really need help. I am 29 years old but I feel like a 80 year old, I want to be able to play with my kids and not be so tired, I want to feel good and not be depressed and hurting so bad. This is why I want and need to Reboot for my kids and myself. Thank you!!!!!!!
Is it just me or is there no where to enter to win the Reboot?
Well Just in case this is it. Here goes. I am a 40 yr old mother of 2 wonderful Kids. Who are now 11 and 15. I home-school my 11 yr old from my office and I’m about to graduate from Business school after 4 hard long yrs from Accounting. My mom is living with me,and is suffering from anxiety/depression and panic attacks.
When my husband was diagnosed with M.S. My weight started to go up and up until I found my self at my heaviest weight ever 220 lbs. For me this is is a lot of weight since, I have always been around 130-145 lbs. even after my kids where born. Having to deal with my husbands illness and having to take over being head of the house, kind of put my own health on the back burner.
I have been trying other weight management alternatives but it’s not working. I also, suffer with psoriasis and it’s getting worse and am pre-diabetic. After seeing Sick, Fat and Nearly Dead and how Joe’s Skin condition and Weight down I know the Juicing can work. I just need the support. I have tried a couple of time to do it on my own but just seem to get suck. Please help! Thanks!!
My working day is so long I’m a cab driver so I’m sitting for
Around 14 hours a day the rest of my awake time is getting food ready to eat and then sleeping I need help to change my pattern
I don’t only want to reboot I need to reboot my weight just keeps going up I need to loose 32 kilo to I’m fat I’m uncomfortable and I hate being like this my husband has suggested stomach stapling
But it’s not the right way to dangerous. I would like to reboot but I need help to start it would get my marriage back on track and I’d like to feel healthier as at the moment I feel yuck.
I haven’t been under 220 pounds for thirty years. I owe it to myself to get the sunshine back in my life.
I would love to reboot and get healthy. I have a young family of 6 kids and find it most difficult to lose weight due to looking after the kids and daily house chores, cooking etc. I have found weight loss information and support /recipes for a mum with large family almost non existent. I have recently been to the doctors for a health check up and am now on high blood pressure tablets, classed as obese, on the door of diabetes.
I want a Reboot for alot of reasons. First, my Dad died when I was 13 right in front of me in the living room. He had a massive fatal heart attack. 13 year olds should not see the gray of their fathers eyes rolling back nor should they have to run to the neighbor for help. I have 3 beautiful children who I owe heatlh to. Health for me, my husband and especially them. I’m 5’3″ and weigh 146…recently have lost 12 pounds by using Dr. Fuhrman’s Nutritarian lifestyle. My best friend is Bulemic and my husband is a binge eater; they both regularly attend an Eating Recovery Center. The food thing is exhausting, and watching your film gave me the light at the end of the tunnel I needed. 12/4 was my birthday and to my surprise I received a Breville Juicer! With your help…I’m going to lose another 25 lbs; get rid of my psoriasis, asthma and maybe even my anxiety. I can do this. Thank you!
I have tried unconventionals
After watching “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” we made the decision to start our reboot. There are 3 of us rebooting, my husband 48 who was diagnosed with prostate cancer 6 months ago, gallstones and cysts on and near his liver, he has lost approx 70kg over the last 18 months, Myself 48 I have heart palpitations, vertigo, generally unwell and just lethargic, I have lost about 18kg in the past 12 months. We have a 10 month old grandson who runs rings around us, we want to be around for a lot longer to see him and our kids grow up. Also our daughter 16 who is over weight, we don’t want her to follow in our footsteps.
I’m a 56 years old female who is in my 11.5 year of menopause and still no end in sight. I’ve been on numerous HRT medications to try to control the hot flushes, weight gain and other associated symptoms but to no avail. Doctors now want me on anti-depressants as well as high strength HRT but my common sense is waving a BIG RED FLAG in front of me because I feel I would be opening up another can of worms. MY BODY DOESN’T WANT TO RELY ON TABLETS! However, having once been a reed thin person who didn’t do a scrap of exercise and could eat and drink anything I wanted most of my life I now have no idea on how to start & be successful with a Reboot programme. Help please????
yes
i don’t know why my phone acted up on the last post but yes i would like to reboot I’m 19 years old and i decided i need to get my self healthier
I am one of those people who have tried it all, even gastric bypass. I have failed at every attempt to manage my health and weight. After watching Joe and Phil have success I feel a glimmer of hope that I to could succeed. I have trouble sticking to a plan as I have a child at home and still have to cook for him. I start to cook and then I fall off the wagon. I am 323# and at the end of my rope and need help. I am starting to have trouble moving and living and most days I would rather just give up.
Simply really:
I am a pharmacy student and this past semester has been rough on my body and overall health. I want to, “reboot” to try and see if this is a viable dieting option for myself and my future patients. Really appreciate any help you can give. Loved the documentary! Let me know if you want to make another one!
After a very traumatic divorce and starting my life over i thought i would be ok. When i finally settled the rashes started. I have been on every medication possible for the past year and a half. Nothing helped and nothing is working. All the blood tests are clear but i am still sick and find it hardest at night . They appear out of nowhere on any part of my body and last for weeks . I am not over weight and seem healthy to the outside world while suffering in silence with this underlying problem. I have a teenage son who is fit and active and i cook right cook healthy for us both . I dont know what else to do. The medication is messing with my head and normal work life . I need help and would love to do the reboot program as my will power and self confidence is going down fast. I am a strong person but this has me depressed and floored. Pls help .
In the past, I had good results just by adding green juices to my vegan diet. But, in the last year have fallen off the wagon, gained weight, and fallen off my running, while taking care of my husband who is in the last phases of prostate cancer. I need to really focus on my health for a change, or I will be right behind my husband. Love you Joe, thanks, Vaneen
I have had 7 miscarriages in the last 3 years and my cycles of falling pregnant, miscarrying, grieving, emotional overeating have taken their toll on my body and I am now 20kgs away from a healthy BMI. I am also on hormone treatments and thyroid medication which are wreaking havoc with my metabolism. I watched ‘Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead’ about a month ago and it struck such a nerve with me. The reboot is not about having another baby, its about getting well, healing my body from the inside out, to get off the hormones and supplements and give my metabolism a kick start. Thanks for the opportunity.
I am a 61 year old woman and young for my age. I had a recent heart scare which turned out to be ok but my cholesterol just keeps going up no matter how healthily I try to eat. In your movie I saw the chance to get a new lease on life and live the rest of my life without fear.
I’m dying. Every day I’m more exhausted than the day before, and I really don’t care if I wake up the next day. I was so excited to start a new career at 48, but rising blood pressure, lack of energy, blurred vision, foggy brain and poor memory inhibited me so seriously that I barely made it through 5 months of training and the final exam. Now I’m a manager for a major retail grocery store, and the hours and stress have exacerbated every symptom. I used to be smart, used to be proud of myself, used to pick things up so quickly. I have absolutely no excuse: I own a Breville juicer, new treadmill, great running shoes, and the P90X dvd set and, most embarrassingly, have daily access to a lush, full produce department. But at the end of 9-12 hours on shift with 2-3 bottles of diet soda, a bottle of water and a chemical-laden ‘protein’ bar, I’m too tired to do even one good thing for myself. Instead, I hit a drive-thru and come home to PJs and a movie, then crawl into bed until I’m forced to do it all over again. I do laundry and sleep on my day off, cancelling anything social I agreed to. Again, I have no friggin’ excuse for my misery. I’m finally off steriods after 20 years (adrenal hyperplasia), have good cholesterol and sugar levels, and can still pump myself up to hike 6+ miles without any preperation, but day-to-day I’m miserable, depressed and lonely. I’m not afraid of being dead, and in fact it would be a relief, but I can’t bear this so-called living I’m doing right now. I have the resources to juice alone; what I lack is a cheerleader, a challenge, and probably a massive kick in the butt, so I would consider it a blessing, an absolute blessing, to have a guide at this point in my miserable life. (Wow, somebody should be charging me by the hour for this therapy. Sorry for dumping.)
I am 26 years old and was diagnosed with celiac disease 5 years ago. Last year, I found a swollen lymph node by my right ear. Now there are 3 I can feel. A recent ultrasound showed that one of the nodes may (or may not) have harmful cells in it. Research shows people with celiac disease have a 5 times greater risk of developing non hodgkins lymphoma. This recent scare pushed me over the edge to get my life in check. I am starting my first reboot tomorrow and I’m blogging about it for support and motivation. I want to get serious about my health now and clear out my system and start over, living a healthy lifestyle, no longer motivated by just wanting to look good, but now I want to live and be healthy.
Hi I want to feel good about myself! I bought the juicer same you had ! I have lost 18 pounds !
This is probably a shot in the dark to win this Joe, but @ sixty years old, if I could do this , drop the weight (283), and get out of this pain in my muscles and joints, then this entry would be worth it. Besides I have three boys and a wife. Sure would be nice to hear from you………..
I want to reboot because if I don’t I won’t be around to watch my kids grow up! I am 39 years old, a single parent, very overweight & have sleep apnea.
I really need to do something & need support. I have felt like there was no hope as dieting only helped a little & then I fell back into the same old eating habits.
When I saw your movie it was the first time in a very long time that I thought I have a real chance of getting healthy.
Hopefully you can help me become a healthier, happier person.

I need to do the reboot to get my health under control and drop 90 pounds. I am 47 and need to restore my health and vitality before it’s too late. I’ve been doing smoothies in the morning and have enjoyed experimenting with spinach, kale and ginger…..all new to me! I am excited to try a true reboot.
After watching “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead last weekend I’m motivated to learn more about the program. My eating and drinking habits have pushed me over the limit. I’m 39 yrs old 5’6 and weigh 215lbs. I have diabetes and high cholestrol. My wife is expected to deliver our baby in Feburary. I need help reboot my life so I can feel good about myself, have the energy to be there for my baby, and live a healthy life with the family.
I’m interested to try it to see what it can do for my body in general.
I need some energy I feel like a walking zombie and I need to reboot and get that healthy me back on track
I was truly inspired by the documentary “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead”, especially watching Phil, the truckie, jogging with his Aussie top on! I am 42 years old and, at 90kgs, am the heaviest I have ever been. Luckily my health is pretty good at the moment, but I don’t feel it will stay that way for long! I feel sluggish, am always tired and am getting grumpy (so my husband says!). I feel unhealthy and I feel the reboot would be just the kick start I need to help me on a healthier pathway. I also feel that having more energy will give me the motivation to do more exercise and get out and play with the kids more!
I would like for my knees not to hurt. I know that taking off some weight would help me move more freely.
Hi Joe I am just your average Husband, dad, grandfather at 48. I am 175cm and close to 120kg. I watched your movie which I found in a draw. I believe I may have recieved it with a juicer I got a couple of years oge on a credit card rewards program. It seems like an omen. I have diabeties and high blood pressure so I am not as bad as some of the other people which have posts here. I hope they all have success and improve their conditions. Both my wife and myself are obese and i am more concerned for her and believe the only way I can get her involved is to lead by example. I live in Gladstone Qld and getting the fresh produce and a lot of it I have never even heard of will be the challenge. I do not expect to win this but want to say that you have given me hope that my life may not end too early and I may be able to be fit and not be overweight any more as I have been since I was 12. We both find ourselves getting more and more tired every day and not enjoying life at all. I am afraid that if it continues then there is no point other that the kids and grandkids. Thank god for them.
Anyway I think it is just awesome how you have helped so many and that you have one huge heart. Godbless. Jeff
I would like to do this because I am experiencing a lot of medical issues, like gallbladder problems, kidney stones, fatigue, and pain all over my body. I think this might help me. I also have an autoimmune disease (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis) and am overweight. Please help!
I am currently at a weight of 132 kgs. I am a mother to four full on children and I can see that their upbringing is being greaty affected by this. I never have any energy and am never motivated to get off my butt and get out there with them having fun in the great outdoors. I would realistically like to reboot and continue til I reach my goal weight of 75 to 85 kgs. I recently did a three month course of Duramine, however as soon as that finished the weight crept back on faster than I could blink. I am a boredom and stress eater big time. HEEEELP!!
I am a 45 year old Mum of five beautiful children, I’ve had a very stressful last three years, filled with emotion, physical & financial challenges. I was prescribed anti-depressants which i only took for three months. One of the reasons i stopped taking them was my weight gain of 10 kilos over the three month period, which I’m struggling to now lose. So I’m figuring “rebooting” my life & my body will give me back the old me.
I would like to win a free reboot for my 47 yr old sister who has an autoimmune disease and is on prednisolan. She has been in hospital and has also been diagnosed with Peripheral Neuropathy and Guillaine-Barr. I watched your show and amy hoping that she would get the same fantastic results.
I simply want my life back. I am tired of letting food run my life. After watching “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” I knew I needed to make a change. I am currently on no medication and I do not want to start any. At 60 years of age I know that this will change if I don’t change. I tried to reboot once and made it for one day. I think having a coach to answer questions would be a great benefit.
I am honestly ready for a change. I did a 5 day juicing 1x and it felt great. For some reason it is hard to start again. I am a 5’2 and 260 lb female. I really need to take charge of my life. But i really need some help.
I am a 40 year old woman who suffers from chronic migraines. I have them at least 25/28 days out of the month. I have tried everything out there to no avail. This has taken over my life affecting my life, job, and any relationships that i have. My insurance has denied a Neuro Stimulator implant which installs under the flesh on my skull. I way 285lbs and I’m 5’5″ talk. I know i am over weight and that the weight lose would be a bonus. However, I am hoping with everything inside me that the reboot will help with my migraines. I am running out of hope and want my life, any life back at this point. I have overloaded my self with information about juicing and all healthier eating and i am looking forward to the journey to be healthier. Thank you for movie,a friend had recommended to me and it has lead me here to your page and now to this comment. I appetite your time.
this is very contageous!I want to reboot and take life back .I think how good it was to run when I was a child.I want to run and feel like a kid.Promising myself to do this for the last time and feel healthy!!
I saw your film and was so proud of the gentleman named Phil. I used to weigh 130 for years; now I weigh 170 and I just can’t seem to get it off after 6 years of the stress involved in taking care of a brother who died from cancer. I’m now a vegetarian for two years (fish sometimes) and I need a kickstart to detox and go forward. My back aches a lot. Your film was something I just happened upon on Netflix and I could not stop watching how great the faces looked after the time on juice. Everyone looked so much more serene.
Because I don’t want to do this alone.
I want to reboot because I am SICK and TIRED of being SICK and TIRED. Sound familiar??? There is no medical reason for me to feel this way and trust me I have had everything checked and checked again. I am 45 and feel much older than that. I need to do this to LIVE instead of simply existing. That is why I want/need to reboot.
Im 42 yrs old 50 lbs overweight and tired of being unhealthy. My father died of diabetic complications. I want a 2nd chance to change my life. I recently watched FSND and I’ve been gathering information. I think I’m ready! Please help
I want to reboot my life starting with this reboot plan.
I want to reboot my life starting with this reboot plan. Pick Me
Enough is enough. It’s time to take my health seriously. I don’t want to just get though the day, I want to live it!! I want energy, I want health, I want my life back..it’s time..
I am in total awe of what joe has done. I have convinced my wife to juice and she does it fairly religiously for breakfast/lunch. I even have a number of folks at work very interested. However I can never seem to go for more tha 2 days of juicing. To make matters worse when i am “off the wagon” i think i actually get run over by it (pasta, sweets, etc)! The excuses are silly and I’m sure that having that closed support group would be the difference maker for me. What a great concept!
I have been unhappy with my eating habits for a while. I am a (31 yo) mom of two active and happy little boys. I am about 6 feet tall, and 268lbs. (approximately 90lbs over weight). My skin is sallow and blotchy, my hair and nails break constantly. I am not as active as I should be, my sons run circles around me and I am scrambling just to catch up with them. I want to be the mom who is fun, who goes hiking and swimming and jogging with my kids. I have watched FSND prolly about three times now, and it never fails to inspire, and shame me, at the same time. I know I need to change my ways, I am teaching these nasty food habits to my kids, I dont want my babies to become obese like me. I want to live a long and healthy life, full of happy memories, and lots of fun with my kids and (SOME day) grandkids. I dont have a lot of health problems, but I dont sleep well, and I have depression issues. I am always stressed and feel like I am fighting a losing battle. I have watched FSND and found information and hope that I needed to get the health that I want. I have actually shown FSND to a bunch of my friends, and they are excited about the info given! My biggest problems are motivation and follow through, I think that having a personal juice Guru would definitely help. I have some friends who would also benefit from the reboot and I hope that I can help them.
Hola Joe,
My name is Alexandra aka ‘Alex’ I just finished watching your film and wonderfully inspiring. So, I am tired of being overweight bout’ 60 pounds give or take and I am 37 and I do have two diseases, I have a slight case of degenerative disk disease in the back of my neck and my second disease is a controversial one ‘ADHD’. I was diagnosed with both cases in 2007. Of course I was medicated right away, and it has not been fun, with my weight yo’yo’-ing since 2007. I have already undergone 2 surgeries and this was the cause of ‘POOR DIET’ Docs where hesitant to do the surgeries because I was far too young to be in the condition that I was in. But I was already far in too much pain, and after pleading with them they went ahead and did the procedure that I am very grateful for. I would tell you what surgeries they are but it’s to embarrassing to write. I just don’t want people knowing what surgery was done on me. I’m still taking meds. and I don’t want to anymore they are one of the reasons why my weight goes up and down. There is so much I would love to tell you but I need to keep this short. I have been on a road to recovery but for different things, I would like to to share but it’s to long. Maybe one day we’ll meet and then I will tell you my story, but for now I want to focus on what my main goal is here and that is to reboot my lifestyle and maybe be cured of ADHD. Now I was told and have read when I was doing deep research about ADHD, that it MAY be cured through diet but I am a bit skeptical about it, I’m just at a lost trying to figure out where I should start. Do you think it might be possible to cure ADHD through diet? I would be willing to try and start a reboot just like you did. I need help!!!
In Christ,
Alex Sanchez

visit psychcentral.com My 17 ,soon to be 18 year old has ADHD. It is real..and just like being overweight you are not alone having ADHD.Yes ,the right diet helps,my son does’t do the meds(cannot tolerate them) and believe me he has tried them all.At least you own what you’ve got unlike my son. Good Luck..!
Hi Joe, saw your film on Gem the other night and was absolutely inspired by both yours and Phils journeys. To answer your question – I don’t want to reboot, I NEED to reboot as I reckon it could be what I must do to finally get myself sorted out once and for all.
I’ve had chronic psoriasis for at least 20 years now and I also have a worsening GI problem that hasn’t quite been diagnosed as yet, but it looking like it’s probably going to be Chrons disease. I’ve always suspected the psoriasis could be diet related and while Chrons generally doesn’t improve, I can always hope and there’s surely no harm in trying. I’m only 41 but I feel 80, always tired and just don’t want to move or do much of anything due to fatigue. I’ve had weight loss success in the past but have always managed to find what I lose once I slip back into old habits. I’m just so sick of feeling sick and generally unwell, it’s getting harder and harder to motivate myself and and now after viewing your doco, I plan to do a 30 or 60 day reboot as soon as I possibly can. I’ve got the juicer, have been to a few fruit and veg shops to see if everything I’m going to need is available and what it’s going to cost etc. I’ve even planted some celery and kale to try and grow some of the ingredients myself, hopefully it all works out and I can finally get myself out of this bloody rut I’ve been stuck in for at least fifteen years.
When I first heard your name while watching the doco, I couldn’t quite believe it, have never actually met or even heard of another Cross out there and then when you go on to say you were 41 at the time of making the doco, I nearly fell out of my chair. I do now realise that was back in 2007 but still, same name, same age, it was like watching a puzzle start to solve itself.
Please help me Joe.
I have tried to Reboot but couldn’t get past the headaches, I’ve had meningititis three times in my life and I get really scared when I get a headache now. Im about 30 kgs or more over weight with high BP and I’m a Nurse and should know better how to look after myself. My teen son who’s 17 and is overweight wants to do it too but I need to be able to do it right first myself if I’m to guide him, I want to help others too, a friend of mine has rheumatiod arthritis , and depression, is overweight and suffering badly with pain, I’d love to be able to help her. I saw you dvd and as a vegetarian feel it shouldn’t be too hard, and I’ve lost 9 kgs on the celebrity slim program but it just makes sense to use natural fruits and veges. I really admire you for having the cahonas to tackle this yourself and to not flail around whingeing.I loved your rapport with the American people and really admire all that you have achieved. Got to go now and see my patients. Thanks mate.. from Simone and Connor…
I have been trying everything for the past 3 years. I am 44 and since my last pregnancy 5 years ago the weight did not leave me. I have spent thousands on personal trainers, gym memberships nutrionists and all to now avail. they all say the same thing we dont now why you are not losing weight. You are doing everything right. My blood tests show Im extremely healthy. I do the exercise I eat really healthy and I have even seen a psychologist for 6 months as these so called health experts say in the end oh well maybe your holding onto your weight emotionally. I have done everything I can think of and have been offered. I have an exceptional juicer that i did use for three months on a twelve week challenge and did a lot of green juicing. I loved the green juices but nothing not weight loss just alot more energy. I am happy and relatively healthy but would like to reflect how i feel on the inside to how I look on the outside. I would love to have support in one of your reboot programmes. I have determination and stick to any task I am given. They just dont seem t help me lose weight. Thanks Little Karon to be.
I just suffered a three week episode of severe gastritis. During this time I could not work, socialize or function. Did I mention I am only 28 years old, way too young to be having these issues. After onset I immediately knew it was because of my obesity and my diet. I am around 100lbs overweight and have had little self control when it comes to food. I love to eat, in fact I tend to plan my life around my meals. However, when it comes at the expense of me being incapacitated because of it, of me not being able to live a full life because of my addiction to carbs, sugar and caffeine then I have to take control. I am ready to start dramatic change in my life. I want to get healthy, stay healthy and live a full and long life. I want a reboot.
After suffing a debilitating back injury 26 years ago and putting on
Weight slowly over 15 years, I lost 30 kilos 10 years ago, and managed to keep it off for 9 years, until I had a spinal fusion 12
Months ago, and have been unable to exercise the same way and have gained 20 kilos back coming off all the pain killers. I want to
Feel healthy again thanks Megan
Hi Joe, I watched your movie/doco and loved it, so powerful and moving, I would like a guided reboot, since I watched the movie, I know I am preparing my mind to do the juicing, I am 60 years old, always been a hard worker, but the last 2yrs have been the most difficult of my entire life, I started to get panic and anxiety after a series of major setbacks, emotional and practical, I started having panic attacks while driving, I couldn’t drive for 6mths, but I refused the medication and started the long road back, I faced many of my inner demons and am now learning how to love myself, I am 91kilos, the last year I put on 10kilos, I have been suffering bad from food allergies and pretty much cut out gluten and alcohol, which has helped, I just know this is the right thing for me to do, for health, the food allergies and the weight loss, a new lease of life, I feel I deserve that, in any case, thank you for your movie. ☼
Pick me pick me pick me!!! Need I say more?
I need to Reboot to save my life and the life of my 8 year old daughter as I dont want to leave her without her mum nor do I want her to end up like me FAT. I need to change our way of life NOW.
PLEASE HELP ME HELP MY DAUGHTER. You are an insperation to so many.
I have tried all things even gastric banding. Although I did lose a good amount I still have a way to go but the main thing I lost is energy. This is my last chance to have some good years left to enjoy without ‘carrying’ life’s burden’s on my body. My health has suffered so bad that it’s totally affecting my life at home, my job, my friendships, my self esteem and brought me back to depression. I have never won anything and now I need to win my life. Thanks Joe for a truly inspiring show.
My wife and I did a 30day reboot juice only fast a couple of months ago. She lost about 25lbs and I lost around 20. We have continued to juice but have added back food. While we have tried to introduce clean and healthy foods, it seems that the convience foods have inched their way back in. Its a constant struggle to make the healthy choices. Our flesh is still raging and our cravings are for processed foods. Slowly the wieght is coming back on.
Thanks
Billy
Thank you everyone for the comments! All of your stories are so inspiring. We will continue to review the comments up through December 21st and then select our winner. This contest and the Guided Reboots are open to everyone, not just the U.S. The calls with the coach will take place 9pm EST.
I am a 5 foot tall woman and in 2008 I weighed 260 pounds. I decided to change my life and hired a personal trainer and started eating a more healthy diet. Over a period of 4 years, I lost 120 pounds. I felt great! Then I had a car accident in March 2012 and was unable to exercise like I had been. I became discouraged and lost my “mojo”. Now I’ve gained 40 pounds and need to get control again. I saw the documentary and became motivated. I just bought the juicer yesterday and am preparing my mind and my body to start a juice fast. A coach would be great! I need all of the support I can get and I’ve always done better with a team than on my own:)
I always thought i was doing great avoiding my heredity. But this summer , due to chest pains, i discovered on my 43rd birthday that i needed a stent for a major artery its been 3 months and i am on tons of meds and my blood pressure and cholesterol is still uncontrollable even with my cyclling on weekends. I live on the road and am not sure how to figure out how to fast while traveling for work. i am afraid that a heart attack is emminent and i am scared.
I want to reboot because I want to stay alive. I would love to live long enough to see my daughter graduate from college. I have congestive heart failure due to high blood pressure and diabetes. My mother died at 55 and none of my siblings lived to see 40. I am 49 and I want to stay here awhile longer for the sake of those who love me. A doctor once told me I’d be dead before I was 55 unless I lost weight. I believe it’s now or never for me. If I don’t reboot and turn my life around my grandchildren won’t even know me. I want to be here. I want to give my body what it needs. I enjoy life and I want to live!
I would love to reboot and try to get down to a healthier weight. I have gained a significant amount since I graduated high school almost ten years ago. My body is mess and would love the chance to have a guided reboot.

Because i need HELP (lyme disease)
Wow! Reading everyones comments I’m hoping Mr.Cross will pull an “Oprah’s Favorite Things” and say “Guided reboot for all!” Now that i’m back on planet earth I want to say that I don’t have any serious medical conditions, I am a really happy Mom, Wife and Career Woman but I do feel crummy ALL THE TIME. I know it’s because of the lb’s i’ve been packing on. It would be such a blessing you have some guidance and support through a reboot. Thank you Joe! Thank you for your inspiration! I know there’s no way to quantify all of the lives you have changed but it is truly admirable! Blessings to you and your team for the wonderful work you are doing!
I want my health back. I want my life back. I was an active professional who multi-tasked her life successfully until a toxic exposure landed me in a chair for a year fighting to breath. Steroids, non-activity and depression over my situation contributed to weight gain and loss of muscle tone and strength. I am making a conscious effort to take my life back and will live the best I can even if I have some limitations.
My doctor thinks a reboot would be good for me. He is very supportive.
I have severe arthritis in my right knee but am very active in-spite of it and refuse to take chemical pain killers. I use natural anti inflammatory. My husband has been laid off for 14 months and I can only work from home due to my multiple chemical sensitivity but I am determined!! I watched your documentary twice and have turned others onto it. Help me get my life back Joe. Please.
I want to win this because of tears of being heavy, I need some relief. I am in the national guard and have been on the edge with my weight. Now after having a baby, I am way over and just can’t seem to get it off! I am about to loose my career because of my weight and can’t do it on my own! I need help!!
It’s about time we all learn to eat healthy and pass it on to others!
I want to look better and feel better. I did a 10 day re-boot on my own last Spring and felt great, but really struggled with finding new variations on the juices I was drinking. I tended to stick to a few tried and true recipes, which got rather boring after a while, and I’m sure that it wasn’t as nutritionally diverse as it could have been. Thanks Joe and team and good luck to all fellow re-booters!
I would love a guided reboot because I am TERRIFIED of letting go of sugar, salt and fats…all the “delicious” foods that keep me fat. Also, I’m not convinced I could do it on my own. On a side note, I wish I had seen Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead years ago, when I suffered with severe urticaria for over 2 years. Thank you for offering this wonderful opportunity.
I want to rebot for a better/healthier life I am a 41 year old woman who has done my share of rollar coaster diets. I am looking for a life style change not a quick fix . My 19 yr old daughter just told me last week mom you can do this you have been losing the same 60 pounds for years. I know she is right I am capable of doing this for the rest of my life !! I watched your video three months ago and was juicing two meals a day and eating mostly veggies and felt good til I fell off the wagon. I know I can do this I just need some help and someone in my corner cheering me on!! Please help me change my life…Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with me
In March I was feeling Fat Sick and Nearly Dead..joked as I laid on the couch, depressed and sick…chronic pneumonia and not understanding what my poor diet and stress was doing to my body…52 and over 300 lbs I went to my chiropractor and could barely walk..numb feet and fatigue….I told him about watching the movie and he has encouraged me to embrace this healthy lifestyle…BUT…I need help…this isn’t easy to do alone. I want to be able to play tennis again and be able to travel and spend quality time with my granddaughter. God Bless Joe for his adventure and all the help and inspiration he has given to others. I hope to be able to do the same thing. Our local YMCA is going to show the movie and has announced that our community is going healthy and even starting a community garden. As a board member of the YMCA I am proud of our actions but embarassed by my own inability to loose the weight and be healthy. I actually like the juice. Am I too far gone? Hope not….
I watched your video 6 months ago and not long after bought my Breville juicer. I juice once a day now but really need to do the cleanse. I’m 35 years old. I’ve been feeling horrible for over 3 years and recently found out I have a thyroid auto immune disorder. I’d love to see the results from juicing vs. thyroid medication. Just need the extra push:) thanks!
why i want to reboot? i want to be able to have kids one day. i want to be able to see them grow up. i want to be able to run up the stairs to my apartment. i want to be able to say “i feel good”. i want to be able to sleep again. i want to be able to live without head- and back pain. i want to be able to be inspired. i want to be able to inspire. i want to be able to turn 90 one fine day and run a marathon to celebrate it. i want to be able to radiate.
i want to be able to live …!
I want to win it for my Mother. I saw FSND 8 months ago, and have completely changed my life since. I just ran my first 5K, and 8 months ago, i couldn’t walk up a flight of stairs without getting winded. I lost 80 LBS in 4 months. I have successfully rebooted my life, and am still working to get the rest of the weight off by eating a lot of fruit and vegetables and living a more active lifestyle. It’s going great. I don’t need this for me.
I see my mother struggling with high blood pressure, being overweight, having food addictions, and having to take medication. She is in her 50s, and near the age that my friend’s mom died at. I worry that, after making countless sacrifices as a mother of 4 for the last 30 years, she may not be around to enjoy her retirement and empty nest years. If i want anything in this life, it is for her to break her food addictions and get off her cholesterol lowering medication. She has seen my results, and talked about getting a juicer, but hasn’t done it yet.
Since 2002 I have only been going through the motions of living. I have not worked in more than ten-years because of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I feel like the walking dead and truly believe, after watching “Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead,” that juicing is my last hope to live a normal life ever again. Funny, my whole life weight-loss was my goal, but now just feeling like living is my goal. The weight-loss would automatically come from juicing.
In proof reading the above before posting I thought someone out there might think I’m suicidal. I AM NOT and it is NEVER a proper answer for problems. I’m literally just sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Why do I want to Reboot? I am a 49 year old woman who has tried everything to loose weight including having a Gastric Lap Band installed in Mexico 4 years ago (people freak out when I tell them I went to Mexico by myself to get that done). I still weigh in at 200lbs, The Band restricts the amount of food you can shove in your mouth but not the type of food so I can still get chips, cookies and ice cream in quite easily. I have terrible skin including a life long problem with eczema that mainly manifests on my face. I watched “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” and was inspired to purchase a juicer but that is as far as I got.
I haven’t even made one juice drink yet! I am scared, scared it won’t work…scared that I am just made this way and that I will always be staring back at a round fat face, scared that it will work and I will have to face a lot of emotion that I have suppressed.
I have suffered from depression in the past and come from a dysfunctional family where I began to self medicate with food at age 13. I am an addict and I can feel the withdrawal in my body when I have not eaten enough sugar. I don’t know how to live well and get myself off the junk! Help!
I want to do a reboot because I want to lose some weight. Also so my body heal itself inside. I’m afraid if I don’t change my diet I will end up with high blood preasure & high cholesterol. I want to see if it will restore my hearing loss & stop my tinnitus that i’ve had for about 8 years. I have some aches & pains in my back & hips that I would hope the reboot could help heal. Hopefully while I’m on the reboot I can psych myself up to make a major lifestyle change in my diet so I can the weight off that I lose. I have done a reboot once for 29 days. I still can’t believe I ever did it. I lost 20 lbs, but of course gained it all back because I went back to my crappy diet. I want to do a 60 day reboot, but I’m not sure if I can do it. Having a coach would greatly increase my chances of succeeding I believe.
Thanks, Denise
Since watching fat sick and nearly dead, I’ve told many people about it. I went out and bought the breville juicer and I took the sticker off it with Joe and fat sick nearly dead which I stuck on the refrigerator to remind how Joe did the reboot. I only made it a few days on my first attempt but can not believe how many more fruits and vegetables I like now. I’ve continued juicing but need more knowledge to complete a long reboot
I’m getting better, but I want MORE! I began seeing a chiropractor who did “Nutrition Response” therapy and it has changed my life. 3 days after going gluten free (on his recommendation) I stopped using my inhaler. I now have more energy than I ever have, I have lost 20 pounds and a diminished sweet tooth. We’ve been working on cleansing my body of access chlorine, losing 30 more pounds, reducing my bp, and getting my thyroid working again by increasing my vegetable intake. I have been doing that, however after having watched your documentary, I’m intrigued by what a reboot might do for me. I KNOW that it will accelerate the things I’ve already started, but with the cash I’m dropping on organics, gluten free products, supplements and appointments, I cannot afford the added expense of such wonderful services. My may not be the most needy of those out there vying for your attention, but I will be one of the most grateful… and, if picked, I will gladly pay this forward. Thank you for your consideration.
I need to reboot because the old boot is kicking my booty! I am not terribly overweight, but the middle is spreading and my 45 years of being able to eat whatever I wanted have caught up with me. I need to break the old habits and create new ones. Thanks!
Short and to the point: I want to live!
I would love to reboot – to set myself up for a healther lifestyle. I am inspired and would love to give it a go!
The reason why i would like to win the Guided Reboot is because of my family. Let me start at the beginning, about two months ago a co-worker told about the movie “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead” and after watching the movie, it changed the why I eat food (forever). I am a serial yo-yo dieter and after watching the movie, I was forunate enough to get a Beville juicer on Craig’s List for $10 (GREAT BARGAIN-almost brand new). My coworkers and I juice at work and I also juice at home. Now, finally, I talked my Husband into juicing with me. I rave about how I feel and if I don’t juice my body doesn’t feel right. Anyway, he wants to start to juice with me, which is great because having a partner to keep you motivated. We are not rick people, we are strictly under a budget and its hard to pay for the food to juice when its so expensive. My ultimate goal is to start a “juicing club” in my hometown because I believe everyone can benefit from juicing.
I want to reboot because I am afraid my health is deteriorating. I don’t feel good anymore. Ever since I moved from CT to AZ, I have gained 40 pounds, having to deal with lower back pain and 12 weeks of spine therapy. Following this and my 40 pound gain, I have a low energy level, depressed, and at my wits end. I used to work out 5-6 days a week, but I am no longer able to do the weight lifting liked I used to, coupled with my exhaustion and sugar addiction, I’m just in a deep rut that I can’t get out of. I never used to be this way. Since I hit 50 years old, it all went downhill, even though I used to work out consistently for years. I am hoping a reboot with guidance will change my energy level, and that losing weight will help my back carry less weight and be less of an issue.
The reason i want the Reboot guide because i want to do something good for others .. By example i know many will want to join the reboot and feel also good about themselves and for once start taking care of themselves with natural ingredients instead of always running to the drug store. Thank you
Like many other folks out there I struggle with health issues and weight issues. I focus on caring for everyone else before taking time for myself and am seeing myself follow in the footsteps of my father who is following in his father’s steps as well. Example; my father had his gallbladder removed after yoyo dieting gave him stones. I had my gallbladder removed a little over a year ago because of my own yoyo dieting caused it to stop working all together. My father has high blood pressure, I have hypoglycemia and both of us are on the road to be diabetic which is what his father has.
Matter of fact; though I would love the chance to earn this opportunity for myself I would love to earn this opportunity for my father (Randy).
My father has been obese since shortly after I was born, I love my father dearly as he has always been my big teddy bear. My father is there for everyone else to, he even has become an amazing manager for a technology team who know that they can go to him with any problem they may have and know that they can be comfortable in doing so.
Since dad and I are so close we have pretty much traveled on the same weight struggle together and now I see him on another diet through Nutrisystem because he is so desperate to get his health under control… he just does not know how. I feel that he may feel lost, that maybe it’s too late for him to regain health. He has had one knee surgery and is on the road to needing another due to his weight, his high blood pressure is a constant reminder that his heart may decide it’s had enough. That scares me to no end, I do not want to lose him because of his health and weight just as much as I do not want to continue following him and his father down this destructive path. I know he wants change but I know we both are unsure as to how to execute that change the right way.
I have never entered something like this before, but regardless of who is chosen I know this will be an amazing opportunity to bring change and health into someone’s life and I wish the best for whoever gets this opportunity! Make it what it is; a life style change, and possibly a lifesaving change!
I think after trying to deal with all the ongoing cleanup and restoration after Hurricane Sandy for the past 5-6 weeks I really need to start getting my health in order and sorted out. I was unhealthy to begin with however after eating poorly in a nutrition sense for almost 4 weeks due to having been reliant on food handouts etc my body is feeling even more worse for wear. I would really appreciate the help and support to do this.
Why do I want ot reboot? I’m 46 years old, and in the big scheme of things doing OK. I am having weight gain issues again, and have experienced this off and (mostly on) since my 20′s. I have eczema and digestive issues that I’m confident would clear up if I had the diligence to follow a reboot program, especially after watching the movie! I work in an office that has constant temptation EVERYWHERE! 10 lbs. this year just from working here. UGH! I have a family history of cancer, heart disease (Dad died at 56…I’m only 10 years way from that!), diabetes, food alergies and brain aneurysms. Our son is 11, and I plan on being a really old and vivacious grandparent, and the best way to do that is to take as good of care of myself as possible so the family history doesn’t catch up with me.
2012 has been a crazy year so I’m hoping 2013 will be better: lost my job, got cancer, almost died. After watching “Fat, sick, and nearly dead” twice, I am planning to start a reboot next month but having a team behind me would be fantastic.
I was diagnosed with stage 3a breast cancer on 2/29/12 at age 41. I’ve gone through a mastectomy surgery, complete lymph dissection, and emergency surgery in August due to infection. I started chemo in July and have two more infusions to go. I will be done with chemo the week before Christmas.
I’ve told my family about wanting to do the reboot so I have a juicer on my wish list and I so hope to get one! My kids (14 and 20) have said they want to do this with me. I also was able to get my oncologist to sign off on the reboot before I start radiation. She had wanted me to wait until I was stronger/healthier but I explained that was the whole point of the reboot. My body has been poisoned down to the cellular level and I want to rebuild with the best possible foundation. Chemo does weird things to your GI from top to bottom and eating healthy, at least for me, has been very difficult. I am excited to start this program and get my body back into balance.
Regardless whether I am chosen, your film has inspired me and my family, including my mom and brother, to change our eating habits and I am thankful.
Watched ‘Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead’ a couple of months ago. I so badly want to try the Reboot program. I lost 100 lbs 2 years ago on a calorie-restricted diet program BUT have gained it ALL back. I’m 40 years old with 4 kids (3-14 yrs old). I really want to get this weight off and start new!!!
I want the reboot for my wife…she is overweight and has HBP…she really needs it!
I’m a 37 yr old woman dealing with Crohns Disease and Fibromyalgia. I think a reboot would not only help me but my family as well. I’ve seen the movie Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead multiple times and I’ve tried to get my family to watch but they don’t want to try anything unless you get “instant” results. I think if I was able to get the right help and do a proper reboot then they can see that the time and work would be well worth it. As for myself, I would just like to feel healthy, even if it was just for a while.
I want to take control of my health and my life.
My husband and I are due to start IVF for the second time early next year. I need to be in the best possible health to give it the best chance possible and could really do with the support this programme could give me.
I tried a reboot with my 16 year old daughter who inspires me so much, when I got to day 5 I was 10 pounds lighter but felt sick and needed to stop. Maybe with your help I can succeed. Thanks again
I want to reboot because I was diagnosed with MS 4 years ago and I am getting weaker. I have 60 pounds to loose and have no energy. I work full time and need encouragement
*5”4″
*312 pounds
****CRP of 35.5 (SCARES the crud out of me)
Otherwise a fantastic and happy life.
Good luck to all!
I would love a guided reboot of my life! I have more debilitating medical symptoms than the doctors know what to do with. My weight keeps increasing as my ability to exercise decreases. I have gone from 215 back in July to 245 right now. I just completed my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at age 47 but had to quit grad school due to my health. I am desperate for a solution and believe that this may be the answer to reboot me back to a healthy life.
Because the truth is, I AM fat, sick and nearly dead. I am a case manager for cardiology and heart failure patients working on my MPH to be leader in public health. How can I set an example for my patients, the community or my co-workers if I lead such an unhealthy lifestyle? Plus, I smoke! I want to do this and I need help! I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. And, I have the same skin condition as Joe! I am tired of scratching myself to death to the point of bleeding from all of the itching. The film has really motivated me, but more than that, I want to be well!
Good luck to everyone!
My family and I watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead about a month ago. What an eye opener! We are all over weight, me by about 100 lbs. I dread going to the doctor because I don’t really WANT to know how bad my health is. We bought a juicer and have been juicing sporadically for the last several weeks but I really feel that some guidance would benefit us all. I want to show my 20 year old son that it can be done and help him get the extra weight off while he is still young. The thought of him spending his entire life over weight scares me and makes me sad…
Ok, not to sound completely cliche, but I would love to “reboot” to get ready for my wedding early next year. Also, I recently started studying to be a health coach and I think there’s no better way to share philosophies and plans with people than to do it yourself… to make me more relatable. Like many people, I’ve struggled with skin problems, anxiety, sleep disorders and numerous other things… Many if not all, which I think could be addressed by a change in diet – a complete and HEALTHY clean out.
Also, my dad’s name is also Joe Cross – so that makes us practically family. haha.
I saw the movie June 2012 ,several times ! I’m still procrastinating. I’m a56 yr young man..owned a vitamix for twenty years..well 115 lbs later I feel like Joe when he dove off the diving board in the movie! This can’t go on any longer! High blood pressure,blood thinners,and two other heart meds to control rate and rhythm..Have had two radio frequency heart ablations Feb. and May 2011 to make the A-Fib go away. I go to my local YMCA to swim and do nautilus (weights).After my shoulder repaired itself .. my dog tore tendons ..I’M swimming again.Need to start juicing as soon as I save up for a juicer..in the mean time i will use my vita-mix tomorrow..already have thrown away kale and other veggies that could have gone toward the juicer!

I have ms, rosacea and numerous ski problems. How can I best cure myself?
I would love to win the free guided reboot. I never believed I needed support to do anything, but as it turns out it helps and I want the recipe book
I have been doing very well so far. Started Sept 9th 2012 and have lost 38 pounds and now on day 4 of yet another juice only and feel great. Goal this time is 30 days and yes through Christmas. By the time the next scheduled guided reboot (I think Jan 20th 2013) I will be pretty close to my goal. Juice on and good luck to all.
I would love help with a reboot because I am a type 2 diabetic and I was also recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I’m unsure where to start and what is the right way to go about rebooting while having 2 autoimmune deficencies. I feel overwhelmed by it all. I want to be healthy. I want to prove to myself I can do this.
I would love to win the Guided Reboot. I have struggled with my weight my whole life. I need to get healthy to enjoy this life I have been given. I want my children to live life to the fullest. I don’t want them to struggle with this burden. I want to become stronger to ne an example to them and live my life well
Since my mother’s cancer has returned in October and I had to meet up with family members that I haven’t been in contact for years, was an eye opener. Apparently, all of my father’s 4 siblings and my grandmother have all been diagnosed with different types of cancer and now my mother is facing it. I do believe that our environment plays a huge part into our daily living from exposure in our surrounds to our diets. My father’s side of the family are immigrants from the poorest parts of China to Thailand. During my upbringing my father, mother and brother immigrated from Thailand to the US. I’ve been here since I was six years old and I’m now thirty three. Due to our military family, my young adulthood was in Japan. During my teenage years my diet of American fast food and all processed food did not faze me. When the Japanese diet was introduced to me, I was resistant. But living in the country for 12 years, you become accustom to it and learn to appreciate quality natural food. Now being back in the US I can understand how we as Americans have become so unhealthy as a nation. The level of nutritional education is not emphasized in our school system like other countries. We want fast, tasty and easy, which is all the bad foods. So on a health conscience level, I want to change. I have made efforts to cut animal protein, reduced sugars and oils and upped my vegetable and fruit intake, but still having a difficult time finding a tasteful substitute for my rice and noodle. I’m not doing this to lose weight but to find another avenue of my path to a plant based diet. And yes, I have watched the documentary and many others pertaining to this matter. I spread the word of my shift in my diet to anyone who will listen.
I want to Reboot because I’m failing at my own plan. The past few years my body has changed, diet really hasn’t all that much, but the pounds keep adding, none receding. It’s called menopause and every answer/aid I’ve read about is “exercise & eat right”. I am a yoga teacher (13 years) and I juice daily. Don’t eat dairy, pasta, bread, potatoes, eat veggies & fruit, water to drink and also tea. Most meals are prepared by me, fresh ingredients. I need some sort of sign that it’s possible to lose weight while going through this.
Maybe Reboot for Life can help.
Not just giving up,

My brother got me a juicer for my birthday. He, his wife and mother-in-law all did a 10 day reboot. I would love to but I don’t know how to start. I would love a guide to help me find ideas that taste good and are good for me too. A good way to start on my second half of life (I just turned 46!)
Well, I’m 29 years old and 262lbs, and in the past month and a half, I had a miscarriage
, got an infection from the miscarriage, few weeks later I was diagnosed with pneumonia and maybe a week later,(presently) what I thought was strep throat turned out to be some type of bacterial or viral infection growing in the back of throat! (GROSS)… Not to mention, with having the miscarriage, I found out that I’m boarder line diabetic and I have a Vitamin D deficiency! Needless to say, my immune system is very very weak! And I believe my body is sending a powerful message and its time that I listen, Enough is Enough!…. So I was sharing with a friend and told them I was going to start changing my eating habits and incorporate exercise in my daily routine. They then told me about Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and Food Matters, I watched both in the same day and was instantly inspired to start juicing or Reboot! I started researching, looking up juicers, etc. I truly believe that its an answer to my prayers! Like a lot of us, my finances are not where they need to be and this Guided Reboot would truly be a blessing!! I have so many unanswered questions and would be grateful to win!!!!!!! I don’t want to feel like this ever again. Time to get healthy!!
Hello, I am 27 years old and I am considered obese. I have been over weight for a majority of my life; trying fad diets to promised result diets such as weight watchers, jenny craig, curves, fitness gyms, starving myself, vegetarian/vegan diets… I would lose 20-30 pounds and become discouraged when I stepped on the scale to see I am still fat, still sick, and stagnant. I go to bed every night wondering if I am dying. Will I awake in the morning? My body hurts, I feel nauseous, I feel fat, and at times I wonder if I will be alive to watch my 3 year old get married. I cry a lot, I am very hopeless, and I feel I cannot do anything in regards to my weight loss alone. I do not tell people I am dieting because they look at me knowing I will last a week maybe two. I am 5’5″ and currently weight a little less than 300 pounds and that number is climbing rapidly. I have perfected the craft of lying in pictures to show myself as a slenderer person. I have a good amount of friends, I am educated, I own my own home. I do not have the financial means to hire a personal trainer and/or a much needed nutritionist. My friends and family ask “why can’t you be as dedicated to your body as you are to your family and education?” I have no answer and I don’t know what to say! But the truth is because I am weak, because I am scared, and I feel no one understands how addicted I am to food. I see people struggle with alcohol and drug addiction. I think what a waste of life, people withering away. Well my addiction is food. An alcoholic can just stay away from alcoholic beverages. My drug is food, I have no choice I have to eat 3-5 times a day; an alcoholic does not need to drink 3-5 times a day. What I am most afraid of, and this is why I am writing, my kids! They have been learning the same eating habits. I do not want them to suffer as I do. If I had the opportunity to change, and have the motivation that I am not alone; I promise I will put my heart into it! Sincerely, The Fat Girl
Hi Joe & the Reboot Staff. I would really love to be part of the Guided Reboot. Earlier this year, I bought & watched your DVD and embarked on a 10 day Juice Fast, losing 4 kg. Why this good result didn’t spur me on to keep going and lose the entire 25kg I now need to lose, is beyond me. I have no one to account to but myself, and I think this is the key. I need to be accountable to someone in my weight loss efforts it seems to stick to things and get results!! I am 50. I do not want to turn 51 carrying this amount of excess weight. While I am fairly healthy, I know if I continue carrying this weight I am going to develop serious health problems. I have no energy, and am feeling old before my time. My children are missing out on a mother who takes them places and does exciting things with them, because I am JUST TOO TIRED. I dread Summer already because I know I am going to be so hot and uncomfortable, swollen and sweaty every day. I know there are probably more deserving people, with many health issues out there who deserve the free Guided Reboot, but, i would be honoured and grateful to be a part of it.
I want to reboot my life to show my 3 children the difference that fruit and vegetables can make to your life.

According to Weight Watchers I’m about 75 lbs. over weight. I’m ready to reverse the effects of junk food. I know I’m a Sugaraholic. I watched your movie on 12/07/12. Half way through it, I stopped drove to the grocery, bought a Bolthouse Farms Amazing Mango Juice for my lunch, came home and sipped it while finishing the movie. See, after just 40 minutes of your movie, it was already affecting my thought process when it comes to healthy eating. Please Reboot me.
I have done 2 mini reboots but then let realistic life events distract me back into some old habits of eating. I definitely would be a great example for the many who have tried, done well / felt great but haven’t quite mastered the true incorporation of juicing on-going. I believe this type of support is perhaps the peice that would give me that edge to truly adopt this healthy nutrition long term and I would be honored to be an example of “keep on going!” to the reboot community. Thank you for considering me, Susan
Im a 39 year old mother of 3daughters,wife and grandmother of 1 lovely grandaughter.I first started getting sick just before i turned 33.i have extremly painful migraines,weakness of limbs and fatigue.I was diagnosed with Ethlers Danlos Syndrome,and have been battling with heart ,blood sugar issues.
I purchased a juicer about a year ago and have been giving my 6 year old son with autism fresh juice daily. I have stopped taking care of myself during the journey of taking care of him. I watched the movie, and would like to do a re-boot. My fridge has been stocked with fruits and veggies for months, but I am having a hard time starting. I need help and a good boot-kick!!
I’m a mother of 2 boys under the age of 4 and everyday lack the energy to even take care of them my life currently consists of red bulls and v energy drinks just to do the simplist of tasks… I’m currently on a high dosage of anti depressants and have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes… I have a fiancé and everyday I try new ways to destroy my relationship so he doesn’t watch me kill myself with food!!! I recently gave up smoking after 15 years of it and need help!!! I’m so lost after watching fat sick and nearly dead something sparked and have tried to juice but failed my kids deserve so much better I’m off to woolworths this morning to get the packaged juices hopefully that will give me some guidance
I am deperate and seriously need support but am a single mom with limited income…thank you for your consideration!
I have been fighting lifelong obesity for 54 years, and was thrilled to find the reboot! I’ve read the book and watched the movie, all of which motivated me to go on a (nearly) 90 day straight reboot, where I lost 70 pounds. But since I’ve gone off the reboot, I’ve been struggling not to regain all my hard lost weight, and have gained back almost 20 pounds. I really need help staying focused on losing weight and juicing! I have so much more weight that I need to lose to get anywhere close to a ‘normal’ weight, and am rather frustrated by my inability right now to juice. Particularly for those of us with 100 plus pounds to lose, a 60 day reboot just isn’t enough to get us to our goals, and more help after the reboot.
I watched “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead” this past tuesday, and I started juicing the next day. Forst of my life I have struggled with being overweight, severe chronic asthma, and more recently headaches, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and chronic body pain. I am married with a beatiful child and I do not want my health to ever limit my interactions with my family. Also I have many family members and friends who really need to change the way they eat, and I’m hoping that I could be a role model for them to try juicing. Joe and Phil gave me the motivation to act, and I am super excited, but I am a bit in the dark about what exactly to do.

Joe… Please ignore my post, I have just read a few of the other posts and these good people may need your help more than I do. God bless
I’ve lost my job, my home, my dog, but I have still have my health(which could be so much better) I am a mom of three kids and I want to be healthy myself so that I can pass on a healthy lifestyle to them. I have tried to reboot before I even have the Breville juicer, but when i talk to others about doing it, they all think Im crazy and then the temptation train rolls in. I would love to know I’m not the only one out there doing a reboot. I need to lose 50 pounds. Heart disease runs in my family as my father had a heart attack around the age of 50 and my mother has a pacemaker. I am going to keep doing my best here, but would love to have the opportunity to join a guided group. Thank you for all you do and blessings to all.
I am a 42 y.o. mother of 3 who has ended up obese. I have a family history of type 2 Diabetes on both sides and am myself currently prediabetic. I need to learn to be a better example not only to my family, but also to my community. At work, I need to encourage others who are diabetic to take better care of themselves.
I want to Reboot because nothing else I’ve ever tried has worked. I thought juicing would taste disgusting, but I have been surprisingly pleased since I started juicing after watching Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. I’m not sure I really know what I’m doing though!
It’s time to make a change. I am a 47yo teacher, I feel that my life is passing me by and I am no longer setting the example for the people who look up to me. I have 4 children, one son has several disabilities and a bi polar husband, I want and need to be here for their future as well as mine. I want to be the best me that I can be.
i watched fat sick and dead on gem this week and it made me thought of how my decisions on food is sooo wrong!!12 months ago i got very sick with a gangrene appendix,it was removed but i was sooo sick and drs said i was lucky to be still here!as i got better the weight piled on and even with the exersize that i currently do just isnt enough.it doesnt matter how many changes i have made to my diet its just not comming off!soo i think it would benifit me to get healthy and maintain a healthy lifestyle to fall pregnant.i currently have poly cystic ovary syndrome and im 31 at the end of this month!im ready to make changes and detirmined to keep to it!!
I need this more run you know! You are such a huge inspiration! I have been procrastinating on starting the reboot ever sice I saw your movie! I have let myself go…I have low energy, weight to lose…I want ME back!! This guidance and support is just what I need to start! You are truly and inspiration!!!
I would love a guided reboot because the regular reboots i have been doing from the website seem to have me on the right track to getting my health back where it needs to be. Over the past 10 yrs, i had been steadily putting on weight til i topped the scales carrying more than 100 lbs extra. 2 yrs ago, i was diagnosed with CHF and have also in the past 5 yrs been diagnosed with high blood pressure and diabetes. I have 2 girls who are in their teens and im not ready to call it quits in this life. I made the decision to finally do something about it and after hearing so much about “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” i did some research and went on the 5-5-5. It worked marvelously! Since then, Ive been on the quarterly detox a couple more times and have seen a drop in my blood pressure along with my glucose levels and have also seen an improvement in the condition of my heart! I would love the guided reboot because it would give me a tremendous boost in my continued journey on the path back to wellness and would add greatly to the dietary information i have been obtaining and incorporating since i started the reboot. I could also share the info and my progress with my friends in the “Fabulous Fatties” thread here in the forum and hopefully be an inspiration/source of info to them .. everyone in that thread started out having 100 lbs or more to lose and we support and help each other like family
This spring I will finish graduate school. As I focused on school and teaching, I stopped going to the gym as often and eating as healthily as I should. I remember what my body was at its best in high school- fit, muscular, and able to run marathons -but now, at only the age of 25, I can barely jog a mile. I’ve already been really trying to turn my health around by eating organic, whole, healthy foods and working out more, but I am just not seeing real results. I recently bought a juicer and love the effect a glass of juice a day has on my body, but I have been unsuccessful in going more than a day on juice alone. I think that the extra support could really help me push to the finish line of a juice cleanse and kick start my excitement about getting healthy once again. I feel like I am accomplishing so much intellectually, but I want to be able to feel like I am achieving goals physically as well.
Keep healthy and never take alopathic medication and never plan too. I’m nearly 60 and want to keep up with my grand kids. My kids tell be I’m old but I can run ring around most of them.
I will be 27 in a week and my last trip to the doctor revealed a worry of impending diabetes. At 5’2 at 312 lbs I need help to become the healthy person I know I can be. With diabetes and high cholesterol among other issues in my family I am worried about my health. It is my hope that with a successful reboot I will gain confidence necessary to socialize. I would like nothing more than to gain confidence in myself so I can start dating and accomplishing the things that are on my bucket list. Obesity is rampant in my family, I want to be the one to break the chain.
They say that “A father is the pillar of strength of each and every family” but what if that pillar is slowly decaying and anytime soon it will lose it strength and vulnerability that will result to a broken home. I am a 35 year old guy who works hard for my family but because of my morbid obesity weighing 242 pounds at 5 feet 6 inches tall, I am suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure. Everyday, I painstakingly take 3 medicines for my high blood pressure and high cholesterol and 1 medicine to regulate my blood sugar level. I am trying my best to fight these diseases but to no avail as being an I.T. Engineer, I am pressured with my everyday work which always require extra time and effort. I am a member of a badminton club and have tried several diets as well but still it has no positive results on me as I intend to overeat most especially on foods that is fully loaded with carbohydrates. As a father of a 4 year old kid who was recently diagnosed with Autism and my wife suffering from depression because of my son’s situation and our current financial crisis due to the pricey treatments of my son for his disease. It really has taken its toll on us. Hence, I really need to gather enough strength to support them. I want to be healthy and to live longer for my family most especially for my child who direly needs me. It will really be a big help on us if you will choose me to be a part of your Guided Reboot. This will utterly change not only my life but the lives of my son and wife as well. This will change not only an individual but an entire family.
I want to heal my body naturally and stop taking medication. I want to live my life as a healthy person.
I battled with illness for a decade or so to be finalliy diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. After having major surgery three and a half years ago, drugs have left me overweight and feeling like I have to hide myself away under layers of clothes. I want a healthy body inside and out so I can live life to the full!
I’m afraid of the consequences if I don’t Reboot and I’m not afraid to ask for help because it can be awfully hard to start on your own.
Greetings!
After watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, I was inspired to start juicing. I am currently incorporating juicing into my diet, but have not done a reboot yet. Would sure love to win and have a coach to assist me ago the way. Thanks!!
Awesome Documentary! Eye opening to how we should be eating!! Thanks for the motivation!!!
I want to reboot because I want to start living my life. I simply want to be free from the imprisonment of my my outer skin that surrounds my middle aged blubbery body who wants to bust out and do all that carousels through my mind. Swimming, walking, horse riding, bike riding, fishing, camping, travelling, the list goes on. Even simple things like building my own verge patch is past the point, as my body has lost its true self and I just don’t have the strength, I don’t want to lose my myself any more . My pain is too thick in my body creating swelling and coach potato behaviour, which lucky for me in one aspect, came across your show Fat, Sick and nearly Dead and cannot believe I have had the key to my imprisonment on my top shelf for years. That one small white boxed shaped piece of electrical equipment has stared at me desperate for use. I am so inspired and feel connected for the first time to the truth of life and want to do this more than anything else in the world, not only for me but for my teenage children who are getting ready to leave home, and then what am I going to do, die. No not for me, I say no more and want to change. I cannot say thank you enough for giving me a wake up call and going the distance yourself to inspire others. I do feel the support would be so beneficial to my existence and my overall health as I am dead like this, not living and very over weight for my frame is not way to live at age 43. I want this, clear mind, fit body,pain free, happy existence. I want to reboot.
Iv just started to juice 3 days ago watched the film and really think this could help a bunch of problems and I have no idea what I’m doing lol
I tried juicing before, but stopped. I know it’s life changing. I just need guidance and encouragement to persevere. I want o loose my extra 80 lbs. so that I can cure what doctors haven’t been able to with just about everything you can think of. I am on disability for my feet for chronic plantar faciitis with heel spurs among other things that have tagged on for overcompensating on other areas of my body to avoid the pain of my feet. I’ve been dealing with this for over 10 years now. Please help me show the world that this is the way to do it, no gimmicks and just plain healthy truth!
I am so passionate and ready to live the rest of my life in an optimal healthy manner, which would inspire others around me as they see my transformation. Ridding myself of IBS symptoms that have affected me since the age of seven would be a blessing!
After seeing two of my friends pass away and having just visited another who has had most of her bowel removed I recognise the need for change. I saw your movie the other night. It felt like divine intervention had occurred. I have an auto immune disorder and am on some pretty heavy duty meds. I WANT my LIFE back.
Hi Joe,
I NEED TO REBOOT in order to save my life! I physically feel so poorly that I am afraid to go to the doctor to find out all the things that are wrong with my body. I NEED TO REBOOT because I have lost all self esteem and am starting to sink into a deep depression. I have such a low opinion of myself because of my poor body image that I find it impossible to reach out for help. I don’t want people to know how much of a failure I am. I’ve watched FSND many, many, many times and I have purchased my Breville and I was even successfuly for approximately 25 days but then I got anxious about succeeding and what my life would look like if I were to get healthy and I stopped juicing and haven’t been able to bring myself to try again because I don’t want to fail again. Please, please, please help. I promise, promise, promise to PAY IT FORWARD!
Brenda
I want to REBOOT to prove to myself that I have control over my body, that I am a MIND and a Spirit, and that my spirit is much stronger then my mind, and as such I can control my mind to mold my body into what i needs to be. CLEAN, HEALTHY, and INDEPENDENT of addictions i.e. sugars, bags, cans, boxes…
Hi Joe,
I saw FSND and loved the movie. I really was inspired to try juicing. I’m 35 and need to lose a few pounds (100). Okay, more than a few! I need to become a healthier person and I’m scared to go about it alone. Thanks for the chance to win a guided reboot.
I recently had to start taking prednisone again for my auto immune disease pemphigus vulgaris. I want to get healthy and get off the meds and I know that juicing is the healthiest way to do that. I need a reboot! The guided reboot sounds great, I’m looking forward to trying one. Thanks Reboot team!
Dear Joe, my motivation to joint reboot because i have a lot of health problems, gastric, dry skin, hair fall, digestion problem, my stomach very big its not match with my body 150 cm tall, and weight 50 kg, im like pregnant lady, im not confident with myseft, everybody look at my stomach.
Fat, Sick, nearly death inspired me, and i spread this info to all my friend and post it to my facebook…hopefully i can success with this program and have my new me….Thanks Joe Many regards
I hope you understand my English….im Indonesian, i learn English autodidact..:)
I have been a carer for over 20 years 24/7, and food has been my friend and fuel. Spanning two decades of trying to cope with food I am now carrying around an extra 94kgs (427pounds)- that’s 1 1/2 people on top of the weight I should be, and it hurts- ALOT.
Food to keep going- obesity to slow me down. For me, it’s time for the cycle to end… surely this lifestyle can’t be described as living!
I’m so tired, and I feel so sick… I am so sick and tired of being so sick and tired.
Joe if you’re willing to help me, then I will gratefully take the help.
I’ve been a fulltime carer for 20 years without a break. I used food not only as a fuel to keep me going, but I have used it as a friend. Today, I have 94kgs to lose (427pounds) that’s 1 1/2 people I carry around 24/7 on top of the weight I should be… and yes- it hurts- alot! Before I even get out of bed at 5.30am I am in pain, and by the time my feet hit the floor I feel like every bone is going to pass through the soles of my feet… then it’s time for work; no matter how sick or tired I feel, the work is still there every day. Now I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. This cycle has to end now.
I just want to feel like a human being again.
Joe, if you offer me help, I will take it.
Silly me, posts twice…. sorry.
Hi Joe. I want to reboot my life from the inside out. I’m a giver to everyone, even my dog, but leave nothing for myself. It’s time to redirect my energy towards ME! Comfort foods (donuts, pizza,etc) fill my void for the moment but it is a never ending void and i want to break that cycle. Im ready to lose a few 30 pounds, drop my cholesterol levels, gain some energy, run a marathon, and smile.
I would LOVE to join your guided reboot. I’ve seen FSND and was so inspired, and I’ve read through your website, but I have to say I never really found that step-by-step guidance that I needed to put it all into action. I have a lot of weight to lose, about 90 lbs, and I’m starting to have a lot of nagging health problems due to the inflammation and imbalances in my body that pure fresh juices would absolutely be able to heal!! Please enter my name in the contest to win a Guide Reboot. thanks!
Why do I want to reboot? I was lucky enough to see the movie on tv in Sydney just last week. I’m doing it.. should I do it.. what if I don’t do it properly… People have said – you’re wasting your money – these people are the ones that know I did nearly 2 months of acupuncture and Chinese Herbs (revolting taste) then spent a week throwing up and going to hospital because I wasn’t advised how to return to proper eating. I’m 56 and my shape looks it! But I don’t think it! There’s a lot more miles in this old girl yet!… when I turn 60 I want to look 50 again///and I want to enjoy my 60s 70s and 80s with minimal health issues as possible! I’d even like to aim to run 8 lengths of Manly Beach, as I did in my 20′s ( even if only at half pace) – finishing the run and doing it properly if the main, just like the reboot plan. thanks for reading my comments… Deb
I’m 57 yo, 300 lbs, high blood pressure, high cholestrol, joint problems and low thyroid, poor sleep have a family history of heart disease. I’m a walking time bomb.
I watched the movie and was so inspired but I’m totally confused.There’s SO much “advice” out there. I want to reboot my life but I’m lost as to how to get started. I am recently divorced so I’ve slipped into convenience foods rather than cooking meals. I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!.
Dear joe ,how I would love to reboot my life ,as it seems full of unhealthy strife ,to follow your lead ,to give it a go ,to feel healthy and glowing and yes feel like Joe ! I’d love to be guided ,I’d love to succeed ,this free reboot is all I would need
I want to Reboot because I hate myself. I am a mother of three, a wife, and the main bread winner in our family. I am constantly stressed about money, the kids, and my home. I have fallen into a hole and don’t have the motivation to get myself out. I am about 230 lbs and at one time I weighed 120 lbs. My weight gain has affected my attitude, my anxiety level, my self confidence or lack there of, and my self esteem. Everytime I think about what i look like now I cry because I hate myself for my bad decisions, putting myself last all the time, and being a horrible example for my children. I think that if I could make myself do some life changes I would be feel 100% better. But then life happens. I get stressed and have to work with not a lot of money and my health gets lost in the shuffle. And ultimately years go by and I still hate myself and what I look like. I could really use some support and a jump start. I watched this documentary and felt inspired. But it is right before Christmas and making sure my kids have presents for Christmas is more important than buying a brand new juicer and fresh fruits that would mainly be for me. Of course my children would be welcome to whatever I make but whether they would drink it or not is whole different story. Anyway, thanks for listening even if that is all this turns out to be. I did exericise today for about 25 minutes so maybe I am not completely lost.
At 79, it’s now or never. My field is PR/Communications, which means sitting in front of my computer all the time. I need to lose 30 pounds, have the energy to exercise, get off the blood pressure meditation I’ve been taking for decades, and stop eating everything in sight.
Now is the time,

My husband and I did the 5 day reboot with great success. Like many of the other people on this forum, we have a litany of medical issues. After watching “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” and then “Hungry for Change” we realize that what we viewed as our bodies betraying us was actually our bodies trying to protect us with excess fat. In actuality, we betrayed our bodies by stripping away our protection without taking away the toxins. My husband was recently diagnosed with yet another disease…adding to his “medical resume”. We want to learn as much as possible how to work with our bodies to achieve health rather than throw medications at it. This is really our only viable option.
I not only want to Reboot, I need to Reboot. I would like to feel more energetic, think more clearly, and live to play and enjoy my grandkid. My job creates a very sedentary lifestyle with sitting and traveling.Then I have no motivation or energy to exercise. Its a vicious cycle. I’m 35 lbs overweight. I just want my life back! I need help!
Why do I want to reboot? it’s more like… I NEED A REBOOT! and then some…. All the wishing, whining, and good intentions will not help without consistant follow-thru and thats where I fall short. Yes, I’m overweight, unhealthy, out of shape and depressed or I would not be here looking for answers like everyone else. Its time for a change and I look forward to this healthy transformation. Thank-you Joe, for inspiring me.
Hi, I want to Reboot because I’m important. I’m important to my three daughters and my husband. I’m important to my mom, sister and other family members. I’m important to my students and fellow teachers and I’m important to my Girl Scout troop. But most of all, I’m important to me.
I want to live longer and get healthier.I am 46 disabled and over medicated and want a life again.I feel like there is no light at the end of my tunnel..I have 6 grandchildren I want to see grow up and not from visits with me sitting on the couch.It is time for me to quit making excuses.The right side of my brain knows I am not doing what I should and the left side of my brain knows the basics of nutrition and all that is bad for me but I can’t do this alone.Upon my success I would like to help others like me.Making a difference means everything to me and I lost that and want it back.There is a skinny healthy woman trapped inside waiting to come about.Please help! Thank you for the video and waking me up even more.MY BMI is 45 which is terrible and getting worse.
I wrote my comment but it didn’t show up?
I have been overweight since the birth of my first child. I work full time as a pharmacist and have no energy after the work day but to take a shower and crawl into bed. I have watched my weight skyrocket from 185 to 282 lbs. I don’t have bed relations with my husband because I feel ugly naked. I’ve tried it all, weight watchers, seattle sutton, throwing up and even metabolic pills. I’m told I have a fatty liver, high cholesterol but can’t take the pills because the liver enzymes are up that scares me because I know where it will lead to. I used to be in the military did 88 situps in 2 minutes now the stomach gets in the way of that. Running I could do a 8 minute mile….. I was a black belt in tae kwon do in ISTF and USTF, I can’t do the exercises anymore and had to quit. I suffer from a back injury from the military and it hurts doing anything physical from running to eliptical, but I am sure its no good for joints anyway. I avoid looking at myself in mirrors because what I see is ugly. My mother had a friend who had the stomach surgery which I will never do, but I am getting all her friends “fat” clothes. My pride for me won’t allow me to wear them but there isn’t much in the clothes part for me. I have a hard time finding scrubs for my job because of the size issue. I yearn to be at my pre pregnancy weight which is a dream I’ve had for 15 years now I am 42 losing hope. I have 2 boys whose lives I want to be there for and a family that cares, I’d love to be able to show my love in that way to and for them but its hard when you can’t love yourself. I saw Joe’s documentary and am trying it but feel somewhat blind in what I am doing I am just doing it. Exercise is in the pool I used to swim went to state once when I was younger when I get out of the pool all I can envision of myself is a hippo getting out of the water, I don’t look at glass reflections or the mirrors at the club, I’m trying, but could use this help so much. So I started November 30th I’ve lost some weight Joe’s documentary was so novel and inspiring to me I had to try it, but I sure could use more pointers and help. I want to love me again.
Win a Free Guided Reboot! http://t.co/qO20Jc57 ~all I can say is my husband has lost 20 lbs since Sept after rebooting his eating habits!
When I reboot, I feel at my best in body and mind.
Hello Mr. Cross,
My name is Genavieve Anderson, please read the beginning of my adventure: http://www.jointhereboot.com/forums/topic/scare-of-my-life/ and if you find me a worthy candidate for this Free Reboot your giving away, then I would appreciate it so much.
Thank you,
Genavieve Anderson
The core reason I want to reboot is because I have a 1 and a 3 year old son, and my greatest fear is that I will not be there for them actively as they grow up. I don’t want to be that father that can not play catch with his kids, or even worse not be there at all due to more serious consequences if I don’t improve my lifestyle. FSND was a true eye opener for me, and the hardest part whenever I try to lose weight in any way is not feeling any change in the first few weeks. TY for the opportunity Joe!
hi joe
i need a reboot because after my last baby 4yrs ago i was bed bound for the last 6 weeks of my pregnecy due to palvic insterbility and then told after many many trips back and forth to hospital and many tests later that i have fibromyiglia which limits my movements and causes alot of pain and the more weight the worse i am at the moment i am 80kg over weight and suffering with high bloodpressure and finding it hard to lose weight and im really scared im not going to be around for my 4 year old let alone have any energy to do the things i should be doing with him please help
I’m so desperate for a change in my life. I’m 39 and I suffer from sleep apnea and I’m borderline hypertensive. Diabetes and heart disease is in my family history and I want the cycle of obesity and poor health to end. I see my daughter picking up bad eating habits and I want to be able to lead by example. I’ve been exercising for the past couple of months and this past week I’ve been experimenting with veganism. I feel like I’m making positive changes but after rewatching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead today I’m definitely trying a reboot to help jumpstart my health goals.
My name is Sandra Rodriguez I live in the border of Texas and I saw your documentary feeling so inspired by you. I want to make a documentary like yours in Spanish to help my community and show to them that there is hope. I have Erythema dyschromicums perstans a skin condition which causes me a lot of itchy specially in summer time. These reasons are my goal now to reboot my body and feeling great!!! Thank you Joe Cross to show us the way to live healthy and better
While my boyfriend and I were traveling for work, we stayed a total of 6 weeks in a hotel, and were constantly eating fast and convenient foods, which led us to gaining some extra weight during those weeks. We ended up watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead on Netflix one night while we were in the hotel, and decided, that’s it, we have no excuse. We need to change our lifestyle, for us, our health, and for our daughter. We don’t want her grow up surrounded by overweight parents, and fast food. We do not want that to be an “okay” way to live in our house.
So we went out and bought the Beville juicer that you used in your movie just days later and couldn’t wait to get started.
We still need some extra motivation though, its so hard for us to want to give up, and fall back into that “slump” we were in.
I also was hoping that it could help clear up my eczema that i have had since i was a child, it drives me crazy. And hoping that it might be able to help with my boyfriends insomnia, and his migraines.
I am 180 lbs and he is 290. I really believe that this program could get us to the healthy style we long for.
I’m so tired of being tired…somewhere along the way I have lost the healthy, happy me. 12 Months ago I hurt my back at the gym and have been too scared to go back, in just one year my eating habits have changed, my body has changed and most sadly my mindset about life has also changed. I need help, but am so confused over what to eat and when I just havent known who to ask…Until now.
So here is my plea Joe Cross and the Reboot team;
Please help me to lose weight for life
Please help me to smile again and feel excited about life
Please give me back my ‘can do’ attitude
Please support and motivate me
Please show me the way…
Interested to see others hear (below ) with autoimmune diseases – and I am another – with Lupus. I am desperate for more change, and a Reboot sounds very beneficial and life affirming. To have help would be wonderful. Undiagnosed since 12 years old, and diagnosed for 7 years. At 52, and in the throws of another flare, I am determined to do all I can through nutrition to try and have the Best Life I can. I am morbidly obese at 96kg. Have already had a little slow success over 5 months losing some weight, but I understand that there is MORE that can and should happen. I appreciate ‘people’ with knowledge and what they can do to contribute to the quality of my life ( recently has 4 sessions with a Life Coach, and it was incredibly helpful ).
Just saw your film in Australia this week Joe, and I appreciate the kindness you are showing to help others have the best life possible. On a day when I am barely able to move, nauseous, drained, full of pain and barely functioning, I say to myself “It’s got to be better than this!”. And so I am here, trying to have a semblance of control, by doing something, anything, that might free me from this debilitation. I want to live, not survive. I brought a juicer yesterday, I filled my fridge with veg and fruit. I could really use some help to focus and succeed in redeeming my Life. – because this is NOT living.
Whether or not I win a reboot, I am already so thankful to you Joe for being generous with your time, experience and understanding, and freely giving help to those who need it. Bless you. If I succeed in improving my life, I will do as you have, and encourage others.
I want a FGR for myself because I’d like a clearer mind and stamina to work with my students, and a greater ability to inspire my family, friends, and colleagues–90% of whom seem to be fat, sick, or nearly dead and chronically unable to convert the desire to be healthy into action. (Hm…that’s the reason I want “the reboot.” The reason I want the “free” and “guided” is “low income” and “air-headed”!)
I’d love to do it to set a good example for my toddler. I start diets and never see results. This inevitably results in me giving up and staying fat. I am so discouraged, yet I’m stuck in this vicious cycle.
We are both so fed up of being overweight, tired and sick. We have a 9yr old son and would like to be around to see him grow up and also to show him a healthier way of living. We watched Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead earlier this year and were amazed, but we did nothing, until it was on again a week ago. Maybe this was a gentle reminder? I have skin problems and am very overweight as well as high cholesterol, my husband is overweight and has skin problems as well. We have been making a few juices and enjoying them this past week, but need more guidance. We really need to Reboot!
Joe – I am a 42 yr old wife and mother. I watched “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” over a year ago. Just 2 weeks ago I watched it again. I have struggled with my weight for my entire life. I grew up eating crap. Mac and Cheese, hot dogs. Whatever was the cheapest my mother could buy to feed us. I have had an unhealthy lifestyle for far too long. I am approx 100 lbs over weigh and my BMI is at a whopping 42.8. My daily consumption of food is: Breakfast- Extra large coffee with extra cream and extra sugar. McDonalds at lease 4 times a week, donuts, Doritos, Potato chips, Coke, Pizza and whatever I can shove in my mouth. I have finally hit bottom. I am at my lowest point and highest weight I have ever been. I tried to get the gastric sleeve surgery. I prayed about it and asked God “If I am not meant to have the surgery and you want me to try the Reboot please close the door to the surgery option”. I called both my insurance companies and neither covers the surgery. Reboot was my last chance. I want to live healthier so I can teach my children to eat well and see them grow up. I want to go for bike rides with my kids, travel to Disney, and go swimming. Daniel and Kayla are very active and I can barely walk. The pain I have in my back and feet is sometimes unbearable. I have been blessed beyond measure with a husband who thinks I am beautiful – no matter my size. However, I know that I am unhealthy. When I get up from sitting down for awhile my feet hurt so bad I can barely walk on them. I am reduced to wearing only ugly crocks because anything else my feet hurt so badly I cry. My headaches are daily. I take medicine twice a day to help control them. I constantly ache like I have the flu – joint and muscle aches. I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia but I really don’t believe it. I do not take pain medicine for any of my pain with the exception of Motrin and Tylenol. I have been in and out of the hospital due to an immune deficiency where I am constantly battling MRSA and Staph. Within the last 5 yrs I have had IV therapy at least 4 times a year.
I journal a lot and wanted to share with you a small portion of what it was like growing up “FAT”
“Get in the car, we are going to be late” hollered my mother. I’m coming – hang on. I ran down the stairs of our apartment and off we went. Where ya taking me? I asked. You’ll see. A few minutes later we pulled up at the Mountainside Children’s Hospital. What are we doing here? We got out of the car and my mother led me down a long hallway. A lady was sitting at a table outside of a meeting room. My mother stopped and gave my name. I was issued s sticky badge “HELLO MY NAME IS…..FATSO”. I walked into the room and their stood approx 10 girls with their parents. I was wide eyed, still had absolutely no idea what I was doing there. I was greeted and introduced to the group. Yes – a camp for fat girls. I was weighed, measured and told to sit down. I weighed in at a blazing 140 lbs. Gosh, I didn’t know I was fat! I really never thought “Your fat, your ugly, and no one will ever like you”…well, at least until today. A few weeks prior I had been asked to the junior prom by Paul. A good friend who I enjoyed hanging out with. I was a freshman so it was a big deal to get to go to the prom! I don’t think he would have asked me if I was fat and ugly.
Our God makes us in His likeness
You are beautiful and wonderfully made.
There are so many times I felt worthless as a kid. Trapped in a hamster wheel where all I could do was keep running. Never knowing from one moment to the next where I would end up.
I feel like that now.
It has taken me this long to purchase my Breville and begin on a life long journey to healthy living.
I started last Monday – I’m not following the Reboot to the T – However, I cut out meat and dairy. I lost 4lbs last week. I am struggling with juicing – not really know how to get the most out of it. I do drink the green juice once a day. I went down to a medium coffee this week and whole fruit for breakfast. I drink the green juice for lunch and eat a huge salad for dinner.
The first 4 days were tough. I ached a lot and felt foggy/dizzy. I need help. I want to get to the point where I am only juicing. If you could save Phil, then I know you could save me.
Please help me get myself to the point of NEVER returning to my old habits.
Thank you – Kathleen
I’m a stay at home mum with 2 boys, life is hectic and I seldom have time to look after myself, I’ve been put on 20kgs after my second child.
A lot of health problems slowly arise, back pain, high cholesterol (dr said my in the high risk of heart attack!!) sore ankles etc. my kids r still young, 9 & 6, I hope to be able to see them growing up.
One of my friends recommended me to your website, “Fat, sick and nearly dead”, I found a lot of useful tips and inspiration idea.
It would be better if there is a guidance to guide me throughout the process.
Samm
I need to reboot so I can live to see my grandchildren grow up and be there for them!
On the health part, I’m just one BIG, mess, high blood preassure, heart plague, etc…my life if just a mess altogether!
I’m 50 years old and feel like I’m 80! I’m pretty sure if I don’t do something soon my life will be very short! I’m also very depressed!
Please help! Sincerely, Samm
I watched “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead about two weeks ago, I’ve been trying to gather information on how to embark on this journey safely. As a 43 year old woman with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (Heart) disease with an implanted defibrillator, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and underactive thyroid function, depression, on both sides of my family, I feel as though I’m quickly running out of options. I’ve tried weight watchers, meal replacement shakes and not much luck. I have tried to join several gyms and not had that much support. With my heart condition my heart is only aloud to beat at set rate, which has been set by my Cardio Doc on my Defibrillator. I am not allowed to put stress on my heart. Most of the gyms want a letter from my Cardio Doc and once received they assess me and then I’m declined. For with this condition I can collapse at any time and become unconscious. I do a light exercise when I can and my body is able to go the distance which is not often. . The idea of a “new start” with a reboot gives me hope that there is something left that can help me. I am 20kg overweight. Unfortunately, the economy and my health have taken its toll- I am unable to work and on one income things are very tight. I have two children 8 and 12 who also have a 50% chance of following in my footsteps as all my conditions can be passed down. Any help you can give me on how to juice with well-rounded nutrition is most welcomed- a new lease on life would enable me to enjoy my life with my husband and two children and be around to watch them grow up.
I would also love the opportunity in the future to meet you as you inspired me so much.
I’m just sick & tired of being sick & tired! Help!
Winning a guided reboot would be a great present, and appropriately it’s just before Christmas. I don’t think I can make any claims about why I should win – I’m just an overweight chick who’s trying not be overweight. I watched Fat Sick and Nearly Dead on TV last Monday night on TV (GEM) and since then have been trying to just consume juices. Although I’ve fallen off the wagon quite a few times, I’m feeling wonderful, so I guess I’ve been given a gift already (though I’m going to submit this entry nonetheless!)
HI I would love to win a guided reboot programme. I have struggled with my weight all my life, I carry a lot of weight across my abdomen. my bmi is probably around 33. considered morbidly obese. I know that people look at me and think my weight is my choice, and that I live at the take away and lay on the couch all day. Nothing could be further from the truth. I recently saw a health professional with sinus issues and complained of generally feeling unwell and tired. His response was to suggest to me that I could do with some attention to my diet and maybe get some exercise. I had been a nurse for almost 25 years and worked hard. I was well aware of the need to pay attention to my diet and getting some exercises. Not always easy to manage with doing full time shift work and raising a family. I joined an exercise programme approximately 2 years ago and found this to be an excellent way to ease back into some regular exercise. I needed more of a challenge and joined a gym and now do 4 to 5 pump session a week, and surprise really enjoy it. certainly feel better and a lot of the ache and pains have gone. But despite this very little has changed in regard to my weight. I saw your programme “fat sick and nearly dead’ and wonder if I need to reset my body’s digestion and metabolism and give it a holiday detox with juice diet for a period of time. it’s depressing, every time I look in the mirror I hate the person who looks back.
I’m not sure I could stick to such a radical lifestyle change but I’d sure like to try. I already love fruit and vegetables but my addiction to all the wrong foods are not only sending me to an early grave but sending me broke. It’s a viscious cycle I’d love to break for my own sake and my 3 adorable childrens sake. Not to mention my husbands. He has stood by me even though I’ve more than doubled in size since we met, and I wasnt a feather weight 14 years ago either. As the matriach of this household I feel its my responsability to heal this family. My husband and I are both suffering long term illnesses but they are nothing that cant be reversed. I know its all down to what we consume. I want to fix this before its too late for my kids. I have tried most things and even put myself on a waiting list for weightloss surgery. I have realised that fad diets, pills and surgery are not the answer. What I lack is confidence, knowledge and support. I am one of many fatty’s in my family. Third generation infact. I’ve noticed most of our gatherings are centred around copious amounts of food. It’s how we celebrate. How we mourn. Or just simply socialise. I want to break the cycle and find things other than food to make me feel good. Because in all honesty, (choosing the wrong) food has simply made me and those closest to me miserable – not feel good at all. I’d love to set a better example for my mother, brothers, sister, husband but mostly the precious minds I influence the most in this world… my kids! I’m failing as a parent by not showing them how to make the right choices. It’s something I wasnt properly taught. I need to break the cycle.
I want to reboot because I need to restore faith in myself. I’m 40 year old mother of 4, wife and Grandma. I used to take great care of myself and seem to have lost that ability in the past 6 years. I need a REBOOT. I need faith in my body, that it knows how to heal, in my mind to be strong for myself, I need to have faith in me. I love the trailer and will be watching the documentary. I am overweight with high cholesterol. I have been dealing with depression. Having some guidance on the start of this journey would be a blessing.
i want to reboot because im unhealthy and suffer from migraines and very unhappy with my 115 kilo weight, i feel discusting and ashamed to go in public, have been reebooting for 3 days and i feel im on a path to health and happy life
tied of looking like i’m 75 and im only 57 and just don;t “feel” right
Finding support to change is sometimes tough. Some of us are lucky to have people who will support us. But when you overeat, it’s usually something done when you’re with others who overeat with you. After being diagnosed with fatty liver syndrome, I wanted to change but didn’t know how. When I watched “Sick, Tired and Nearly Dead” I was inspired but like one person in the movie, wished Joe could give me hand so I could kick start the reboot. I am a “take the bull the horns” person, but when it came to my health, I let my emotional eating get the best of me. Recently, my mother passed and I have been the biggest I’ve been since I “ate my feelings” in the past months. I could use a gentle voice to lead me along to put myself on a path of health. I made the step and bought a juicer but somehow this all seems so daunting. It sure looks easy in the movie, but I know for me, I am both excited to begin but oddly enough, afraid. Fear of both change but mostly of dying.
I would like to be entered in the drawing tor the “Win a free guided Reboot.” Why do I want to reboot? I have watched “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” and found it very informative and also I need help and cannot do this on my own. I have made attempts to do this before and keep falling off. I am a home care nurse and work 12 hours day 3 x a wk. I find this hard to handle on the long days. (Finding a bathroom is my main concern) I am planning a week of vacation the 3rd week of January. Which will hoping work out for a 10 reboot. Other reasons include weight loss, high cholesterol, lack of energy, and a desire to improve myself and them be able to teach this to the my family and the community Thanks.
Since having my first child 14 years ago, I have gained weight. I am now more than 100 pounds overweight. I am too fat to exercise without pain. I am a single mother and too poor to join a gym or participate in somthing like nutrasystem or weight watchers. I need help, but I can’t afford it. I have serious depression. My father is diabetic. My cholesterol is too high. I am miserable. I need help. I am 37 and not improving. I would like to live to see my kids grown up.
I want to reboot because 2011 was there year of trying everything!!! weight watchers, cleanses, you name it… I did it!! Prior to that I even tried out for the Biggest Loser show, a total of 3- Times…. No such luck.
Now, I am working with someone to heal my body with food. My lymph nodes are clogged, thyroid is a mess, adrenals are wishy washy, had gestational diabetes 3- Times. My father died from diabetes complications….. I do not want my four girls going through life wondering if their mom will survive. But keep trying new things.
Just want to reboot for me first, to show my kids what good health is and be a great mom…not focusing on my health…..but to live life. I want to reboot to live life.
After watching your program everything became clear. After my divorce and relocating myself and my son i thought i would be ok. Thats when the rashes began. They would hit any part of my body at any time and no medication has helped. My blood tests are clear and there seems to be no medical reason for it, but it wont go away. I eat healthy am not overly overweight and have a 17 year old son who is fit and active so we have to cook right but nothing is helping. This week the rashes hit my hands and i took coritsone and antihistamines and eventually a valium to sleep. I was always a strong person who had evertying under control but this is controlling my life and depressing me. Its affecting my work and social life. Watching your show i realised i may have the same thing as Joe something sets me off and then its on for days or weeks. Cooking for a stream of my sons friends and the appetite of a 17 year old i find it hard to do this on my own. I havent done anything for myself lately and i would love to try this guided reboot to get me back to who i was. Fit healthy and motivated for something. This thing whatever it is ( and the doctors cant tell me theyre baffled by it) is doing my head in. Pls help.
I am a sole parent of 4 girls ..I have tryed to be the best mum/dad Possible ..But have failed to keep myself on the list of proritys ..I desperately need help ,They say a large journey starts with a single step ,Well I could really use some support with making it ,I have had numerous health problems . Pulmonary Embolism , Gallstones ,Blood clots in my legs the list goes on , I suffer anxiety and depression .. I want to be there for my kids ., But I fear the road i have been taking will lead to them being without a mum .. Why pick me ? I need someone to believe in me to give me a single chance ..You know things are getting Bad when you skip the large clothes section and head straight to the camping equipment to find a suitable tent to wear haha
I think your great and when i watched your program ,The tears started ,but also something inside me clicked ,Like a lightbulb moment ..There is light at the end of the tunnel and I am begging you with all my heart to show it to me !!
Having lost both my mother and grandmother to illnesses, been diagnosed with a non-terminal cancer and having had two other cancer scars in my 33 years, I want to ward off as many medical issues I can and make my body the most healthy and prepared for whatever I may face. I want to make juicing a part of every day, for the fast and beyond. Thank you for leading the way.
I have been raised all my life on southern foods. I am new to the concept of whole foods. Really not sure how to do it on my own. I have 15 pounds that I would like to lose and really could use some guidance. Diabetes runs in my family (2 brothers, one sister and my oldest son) I am committed to preventing the disease if possible. I have lost 30 pounds in the past year have started running for the first time in my life and just need to lose a little more to be at my goal. Thanks for the help!
To live!!
Since watching fat sick and nearly dead I have been trying to figure out a way I can do this. I am 30 I have six kids from 18mths up to 10 years. I am so unhappy with myself as I don’t join in with them as much as I would like to. I am not ashamed to say it. I have a skin condition that I can’t seam to shake . I suffer from headaches and major grumpy ness. I really want to just enjoy the life I have been given before I have any other health problems. I avoid mirrors, photos, anything where I can see myself. I have been planing a way I could do this one idea to take photos of myself and putting them up around the house. They one thing that scares me is that I need some support as I have no idea how I would get through the first week dealing with my children…. I was sitting here reading on your website while drinking a can of diet coke. I felt sick and tipped the can down the sink. I can’t keep living like this I want to be happy and enjoy my life with my family!!!!
My oldest sister loves me enough that she brought your DVD, “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” for my husband and myself to watch the last time she came for a visit. For the first time in years, I have hope that I can, indeed, “reboot” my body to a healthier, more energetic me! It has always been hard to be the only obese person in my family. i have suffered ridicule and humiliation from certain family members. As the only bread winner in my home, (my husband is disabled), I have to work 2 jobs to make ends meet. I have recently been told that I am now diabetic, I just sat in the Dr’s office and cried. It seemed inevitable, but actually hearing it made me feel such shame. I am absolutely drained. I would love to experience the 10 day “Reboot” program that you recommend for diabetics. It is a given that I will need LOTS of support and encouragement. It is time for me to take charge and step up and “reboot”. I am ready. Thanks for sharing your amazing story…a story of hope and new beginnings!!! It is time to get back in control of my life. I desparately need your help.
I came across this documentary on Hulu.com and I been on this website all day learning about the program and the journey you took to fight obesity. Unlike most comments on this site, I am looking for new ways in improving my health and committing myself to lifestyle change. I am 44 years old and I use to weight at 324-326 lbs lbs about year ago and today I weight 279 lbs. I joined weight watchers, I track my food on phone appt and even see a nutritionist every 6 weeks for about a year and half. Along with working with personal trainer for about year and half, I am always looking for ways to improve my health and continue my journey in being a better me. What I found amazing about the documentary is my leading through example you can inspire others as well and that what I would like to do. I want to be an inspiration for my co-workers, family, friends and particularly black women of color that we can be healthy and not to stereotypical but I do not see many black women as success stories of losing weight and being healthy. I work for federal government and watching this film has really open my eyes to learn from your team and be a plantform for others by being an inspiration to others particularly women and children in the US. Hopefully one day I will like to meet my inspiration the First Lady of US and give some input to how we can change health care in US not with medication but with motivation of eating healthy.
Hi Joe;
I live in China and teach with my partner. We have traveled across Southeast Asia and I am amazed at how whole societies can be thin. When I see Americans or other Westerners I just don’t understand why we can’t do it too. I am 5′ 4″ tall and weigh 93 kilos, I am American but my scales have taught me kilos. My husband is 5′ 7″ and weighs 65 kilos. He is 16 years younger and though I have no reason to doubt his loyalty, sometimes I neurotically worry about all of those thin gorgeous Asian women who stare at him all the time.
What I noticed about the Asian diet is that it is mostly vegetables as we all know. There are an unbelievable variety. The only problem is that when they cook they load them with oil!! Still they stay thin. My diet is mostly Chinese since buying any Western food here is either way above my price range or terrible. Why then am I so fat? I bike at least 15 hours a week, walk to the market every day and I don’t drink beer.
I saw your movie on a download service I use called Graboid. I refuse to steal movies!! I don’t have much hope for myself to tell you the truth since I am 56, have always been overweight and if living in a society where the main food group is vegetables does not help then I feel doomed.
I am depressed, uncomfortable, suffer arthritis from knee and back pain and my cholesterol is 325. I don’t want to live like this but I don’t see an out.
When I saw your movie I was so inspired but am also afraid of the pesticides and fertilizer here. They cook everything. They use human waste for pesticides and growth hormones for growing. Is it even safe for me? I started the diet today but had to use a blender because the juicers here are substandard. Should I be afraid? I soak my vegetables always and use a little vinegar in the water. Can you give me advice on that at least.
I will have a new grandson and will be going back to America for the first time in 3 years and I don’t want to be fat! I would go back to America but no jobs- when I saw your movie I thought if I could go back to America I would do this but I can’t, Please help!

After I had my daughter my Lupus flared really bad affecting my kidneys this time, I was (am still) on many medications including predisone ( started at 40 mg every other day and now 8 months later down to 10 mg every other day. My goal is to be med free by end of March 2013. When I had this flare I started looking into what I could do for myself to take “control” of the situation. So I started reading more about a plant based diet and eating that way. I truly believe this had a major impact on getting into remisson by August ( 4 month recovery) But I do want to take it further, I was so focused in the beginning but now I want to be sure to stay on the wellness track as I’ve experienced how it can help me. That’s why I want to reboot!
Thanks! I loved the movie too by the way, very real and inspiring!
Hi Joe,
I just recently watched your DVD, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and LOVED it. It is so inspirational that I went straight to your website and joined up. I loved seeing your transition and Phil’s, just amazing and I loved your down to earth way of explaining what goes on in our body. Just Brilliant!!
I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome of nearly 12 years, I’ve tried so many things and would love to do some rebooting, my system I am sure would truly appreciate it and to be guided by one of your nutritonists would be amazing. This would be such an amazing opportunity and one that would hopefully put me on the road to a full recovery and to getting my life back again. That would be a dream!!! Thank you.
Well after trying many diets,fads,eatingunhealthy tothe point my blood sugerisout of whack.. I now can gain5lbs of fluid in a day.. Im looking for a kickoff.. If I can just seesome results fromsomethingthat actually worksI knowI can do anything.. along with reboot I am quiting smoking,eventually you get to apoint where you say hey… this is not what I wanted for my life.. Its time change, thankyou and goodluck everyone,butifyou dontwin dont give up.. doit for yourself
I have been on a juice feast since December 1. I did an early weigh in, since I only weigh 1 once a month and I haven’t lost anything this time around. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. My first reboot was very successful and noticeable on the scale. It would be great to have some direction to see what I am doing wrong. I do juice mostly green juices with little fruit but I must be doing it wrong. Thank goodness for the guided reboots coming up. It looks like I will be going for more than 90 days at this rate.
I watched your programme the other night and was truly inspired. I am only 34 and have let myself go mainly through drinking wine and not exercising, I have doubled my size I used to be slim, a gym junkie and healthy. I am keen to start this new way of living I have stopped drinking my evening bottle of wine and started the last two days on a kale and veggie juice first thing in the morning. I wish I could juice enough for the whole day but advised the nutrients die within half and hour, not sure on this and already just from two juices in two days on the toilet like never before lol I hope that bit eases off as I’m afraid this will occur at work. But that won’t stop me, some more guidance will be great though
W€y do I want to reboot, well I want to reboot because I want to have children, I know that I can heal my body of these fibroids and have a baby. I have been trying for 2 years and I know if I get my body healthy it will happen.
I would absolutely LOVE to be able to have the help I so desperately need to cleanse my body from a yeast problem! I am 49 years and these symptoms are driving me crazy! People don’t want to believe it’s a yeast problem and therefore, I have very little support. I KNOW a juice cleanse is the answer but I fall off the wagon too early every time I make some progress and it just starts all over. I am bloated, I have odd skin rashes, I have depression, my joints ache and no energy. My family doesn’t take it seriously so I have no support plus added stress from them still relying on me to take care of them like I always have, which is what gave me the stress that created the problem in the first place! Please help me!
I could go on but I will just close now and say that I have the knowledge of what needs done, I just don’t have the support. Thank you for your consideration, Sincerely, Teresa
Very simple I weight 180kg (400lbs) i believe this is what i need and i need the help and support to start, finish and maintian the 60 day reboot. I am sick of making excuses and dodging the facts. I have a young family and they need ther dad to be around, i want to be around. I need this…..
Why do I want to Reboot? I am Rebooting my entire life inside and out and I know that a Reboot is mandatory to do it properly.
Four years ago I tragically lost both of my parents. I developed PTSD from the trauma and began to eat my way through my grief.
Now, after much effort and counseling I am a happy, forty something, empty nester who is bouncing back and ready to do it with a BANG, but I have to get rid of these ten pounds! Ten pounds may not seem like a lot to some, but I can’t get rid of it and on my small 5’3″ frame it feels and looks horrible. My low body confidence is keeping me from living life to the fullest, which is the motto for the foundation I work for granting wishes to terminally ill senior citizens! Along with my concern about low body confidence I worry that this extra ten pounds will be an extra twenty pounds after four more years and so on, and fat is a breeding ground for illnesses like the one that took my mother’s life.
I have started eating healthy, drinking plenty of water, sleeping eight hours a night, exercising and even gone back to college to complete my Business degree. But I know I have to get these extra pounds off if I am going to feel like I have fully taken back my life and there’s no better way than a REBOOT!:) PLEASE HELP!
Why do I want to REBOOT!? I want to reboot to reverse my autoimmune condition. I would love the experience of working with a group/coach because I’m an aspiring health coach!!!
After watching “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” before Thanksgiving I was so motivated. Everyone I watched on YouTube seemed to ‘glow’ after their juice fast. I did some research, read everything I could get my hands on & even ordered my juicer from Amazon. I successfully went on a 10 day juice fast, but found that talked myself out of continuing. I really want to do a 60 day juice fast. And I know that my body needs this. I am 5’3 & weigh almost 200lbs so I feel square… almost as wide as I am tall. I am fairly healthy otherwise. Since I have gained this weight, I have become more & more of a recluse, shutting myself off from those I love & the things I used to enjoy doing. I need to make a serious change. I want to ‘glow’ too!
Eight years after my divorce, I still have an extremely poor sense of self. And, as a single parent to two children, I work at least two jobs at all times, in addition to training to advance both my current career and my career plans for the future. I do a lot of dog rescue work, as well as working with my own dogs. And my elderly parents, while providing a great deal of support and inspiration (they are 90 and 91!), also need my time and care.
All of this means I have spent very little time on myself. I am extremely overweight, but would dearly love to lose about 15 pounds – and keep them off! In addition, I have suffered from severe adrenal fatigue for more than a decade, in spite of an overall fairly good diet and trying to develop more balance in my life. A year ago, I was also diagnosed with osteoporosis, although I have always been fairly active and have spent a great deal of time in the sun, playing and coaching competitive tennis.
My youngest child leaves for college next fall. While I will then have more time, I need to develop better habits NOW — self-care, eating habits, exercise — and find the courage, the energy, the motivation to make my dreams a reality. I have started reboots a few times in recent months, but rarely make it more than a few days and always without any weight loss at all.
I am sure there are many who are in more dire circumstances than I, but my wish is that someone will be able to show me the way to the future I dream is possible.
Many thanks for your consideration,
pj
I want to feel alive and stop being a diabetic! I am tired of being sick and fat!
I love life but didn’t have the education on how to live life healthily! Proper support and guidance is invaluable for this kind lifestyle choice. Why?
Because as we know; sadly this country is in an emergency situation. The health and obesity situation is in dire straits. It’s so important to recognize that those trying the Reboot are not having it easy especially if they are alone in this like myself. Over and over again I read in the Reboot blogs that those doing the Reboot are up against detrimental and negatives influences that are literally brutal at times – even though most are well-meaning. Again, most in our ailing Country are limited in proper dietary education – so of course, we will be the oddity with the nay-sayers. Yes, Rebooter’s need guidance and support – if nothing else but to stay strong.
My goal is to continue to heal myself starting January 1st 2013. April 1st, 2012 I did a 15 day Reboot, lost 30 pounds thus far – but it’s not been easy at all – doing it alone. That is the biggest reason I didn’t do the 60-day Reboot. I do so wish to try it though. I admit, I am not sure yet because again, I am alone in this and well, it’s scary to me. If I do start the 60-day Reboot January 1st (alone or not) – I will wish share it with any willing family and friends that will hear me. Lives are at stake after all. Nothing will bring me more joy in knowing I helped even one person as a result of observing my own journey.
Yes, I thank you in advance and yes, I welcome the help with a Reboot guide for a 60-day Reboot. I will be devoted to continue on and guiding others to you and your kind assistance too.
Just like leaning on a tree to keep my balance, having a Reboot coach to lean on would help keep me on track, fuel my motivation and move me toward better health. I want to nourish my body and feed my soul. Thanks
My husband and I watched Fat, Sick, and nearly dead for our date night this past weekend. I have tried countless times to help my husband see the benefits of a diet rich in fruits and veggies but nothing seems to stick. After watching the movie he said to me, “Hey! We should do that!” My mouth hit the floor! My husband grew up eating a classic armerican diet of all refined and processed foods. If you couldn’t get it at a drive thru he didn’t eat it. This is HUGE for us and our marriage. I’m hopeful doing a Reboot will get our health back on track and get us to where we need to be in order to grow our family.
Hi Reboot team, 11 years ago I had to have a hysterectomy because of dangerous iron levels since then I have had a lot of sickness. I was diagnosed with IBS+ not a full blown celiac put on about 30 kilos that I just can’t shed, have bad bad menopause (chronic hot flushes lasting half a day most times – tried various tablets now a gel) got pneumonia 4 years ago now evry year get very bad bronchitis. I have tried so many different things to lost weight including: tablets from doctor and did not shed 1 kg she couldn’t understand and I was just in tears; various diet plans; protein shakes and when you stop it all just comes back on. I get migraines, see a chiro and massage fairly regularly, knees funny. It is very hard to do a lot of exercise because I sweat so much (not perspire it’s sweat yuk!) being menopausal. Please help me, my brain keeps wanting to work but the rest just isn’t up to scratch!!!
hey Joe, well I’m not sick, I’m not overweight, in fact I am a 57 year old Personal Trainer & Fitness Speaker for the past 30 years who coaches “nutrition” to my clients along with some serious kick butt weight training.
I personally have had a few spinal surgeries over the years but am 100% healthy post-operation with my latest surgery Oct of 2011. I also personally lost 60 pounds 3 times…oy! and THAT is how I got into the Fitness Industry, To Teach Fit!
Through the years of healthy clean eating, I still have gained body fat with going through menopause. I would LOVE to be COACHED by your nutritionists through juicing to see if it’s possible to reduce my body fat.
I am the type of “Trainer” that needs to “do it first” before I can encourage/teach my clients to try something new. I have to have the “story to tell”… ya know what I mean?
I have to say I think this would be a challenge for me since I eat small meals throughout the day so I might be one of “those canidates” that could eat a salad at night….LOL
Should this work for me, I would shout from the mountain tops to “EVERYONE” about juicing and encourage all my clients and contacts to “Give it a GO”
Thanks Joe,
Suanne
I would like to reboot to detox my body thoroughly. I am really into a healthier a lifestyle being that I went through chemotherapy and radiation. I know there are alternative sources that will enable individuals healthier happier lives. I think I have found the source right here. Once I have obtained my goal, I would like to give the gift that keeps on giving enlightening others that a your health can improve if you change your lifestyle.
I want to reboot because I am 23 years old and almost 300 lbs. I have struggled with my weight my entire life. In spring 2009, I was around 180 lbs, the smallest I had ever been. Then I got pregnant and gained almost all of what I lost back. My son was hospitalized after giving birth to him and I was walking every day, back and forth from a hotel to the hospital he was staying at starting when he was 2 days old when they finally released me. After we brought him home, we had a ton of doctors and appointments to constantly attend so the thought of grabbing a combo meal at a fast food restaurant sounded way more appealing than going home and cooking a healthy meal. He is now almost 3 years old and I have gained all of that weight back plus some leaving me around 285 lbs. I am currently in nursing school and I am slowly learning about eating healthy and how our bodies work which has motivated me to want to make the change. Not only to lose some extra pounds but to be healthy is my main goal. I have tried different things ever since I was in junior high and nothing has really worked for me. When I was at my smallest weight, I was living with my husband (then he was the boyfriend) and 5 other people in a 2 bedroom apartment with my sister’s baby, 10 cats and a dog. We had no car so we had to literally walk everywhere. Money was always tight so dinner was either frozen dinners, cereal, or nothing. I have my son that looks up to me so I could never do that again. My mothers side of the family has a list of medical problems and my mother is a diabetic. I don’t want to go down that path. I want and need to be healthy not only for myself, but for my son so I can be around longer for him. I’d love to start this juicing diet, I am hoping it will work for me.
I want to “reboot” to restart my life. I have experienced an emotional divorce,lost my marriage,my home,my life,and my self esteem but gained 50 lbs. I want to rid myself of this weight to breath life back into my body and my heart.
I want to reboot because I’m 30 lbs overweight, depressed and NEED HELP! I’ve really been wanting to do this since I saw Joe’s movie but I’m scared! I’ve tried but end up sick.
I REALLY hope to win. I have 2 young children who I want to get healthy for.
WOW!, I watched your movie and I was inspired to do something about my health. I am 5’5 and I weight 168lbs and my biggest problem is belly fat. People always tell me that I don’t need to lose weight and I do not look that big! I have been doing weight watcher’s and my weight has been up and down. I have hypertension and I am taking blood pressure pills and I love to win this guide because people my size wants to get healthy too. My BMI says that I am overweight and I want to get in the healthy range for once in my adult life. Please help me lower my BP! I always see people that weighs more than me get help and I want to Win Win Win!
I am a 24 year old mother of two. I have struggled with my weight my entire life. With my family history and my poor eating habits I will surely end up with diabetes, have a heart attack, or stroke. I do not want to go through or have my kids go through what my mom went through. When I was 16 my mom had a minor stroke. She lost vision in her right eye. She recently had another scare. She has high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and blood clots. I want to Reboot so I can be healthy enough to be able to run around with my 4 year old daughter and my 5 year old son. I want them to have what I never had. A mother that is happy and healthy. This will not only change my life but the lives of my children. I need all the help I can get. I have tried many diets and exercises. I would give up on them because I didn’t have the support I needed to see it through. I would love to receive all the help I can get. Thank you for your time.
At 65, I’m very interested in the anti-inflammatory effect of this diet. I told my friend, who is experiencing a lot of muscle and bone pain as I am, that I hear myself “snap,crackle and pop” as i wake each morning. She plans to reboot and hasn’t yet seen your movie. I also want to have more energy so that I can resume exercising. Fatigue makes me inclined to eat fast food, or troll the fridge and pantry for a food that will satisfy. I can have excellent foods in the house but will ignore them. (I’m really looking for breads and fats). As a result, I’m 7 dress sizes larger than I was in my twenties.
I truly want to heal my body, up my metabolism and lose weight.
I want to be fit and healthy.
Thanks and regards,
Simi
I’d like to try the 5-day plan for several reasons. I am currently enrolled at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition to learn as much as I can to help me with my chronic and pressure urticaria and to become a health coach so I can pass along my knowledge and support/guide my future clients. I’ve been juicing, but it’s actually been exacerbating my hives and I’d like guidance to work through it. I also want to experience the program so that I can refer/recommend Reboot to clients with confidence. Thanks for the opportunity to enter.
I have been nursing for over 30 years, all the while living with chronic pain from RA and the fact that I have been fat for most of my adult life. 4 weeks ago. I trod on a plug at work, and today my house looks like a hospital, with all the disability aids. Its hard work dragging my heavy body from bed to chair. But things happen when your ready, I just happened to turn on the tv to see Fat Sick & Nearly Dead on Australian TV. So using this opportunity as a wake up call whilst i am learning how to walk again. How hard would it be to change my diet and learn to juice to get my weight off after the last 2 weeks !
At 54 I am blessed in that I can now follow my passion, helping others thru nutrition. I enrolled in Institute of integrative Nutrition, I have decided that I am going to focus on helping people reverse type 2 diabetes thru nutrition. I tried the juicing after watching your “Fat Sick and nearly Dead”, I did great for 7 days of juicing and eating one meal per day, I want to do the 30-60 juicing, I need to lose 50 pounds, I am peri menopausal and borderline type 2, this will help me help others, I feel that if I can get your support, help and knowledge of rebooting, I will be able to help others and be living proof of the benefits.
I don’t know how to even ask for this help,so many people need it and deserve to win.I am ahomeeopath and a healer and so good at helping others.I can’t seem to get myself well,I really need a group for guidence and support. I am 62,5ft 2in tall and I weigh 256lbs. I am suffering from fibromyalgia,fatigue,high blood pressure and i am almost to the point of being in a wheel chair.I rehabilitate wildlife also. Please help me get well so I can continue my work to help others. i don’t have much time left on the planet if I keep getting sicker. I really really need help!!!
i am a mother of five beautiful children and wife to one loving husband. I would love to reboot not only for my sake but also for theirs. i want to be around for a long time!!
My partner and I watched your movie and have had a small attempt at juicing but we really need help to stick with it. I am 57 and she is 44 and we are both in the category of being obese. I am so tired of being controlled by my weight, with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high triglycerides and type II diabetes. Now I have discover that I am gluten intolerant as well. We have tried to diet and exercise but lose the motivation trying to carry so much weight around. I am so fed up with taking 8 tablets a day and insulin. I am determined that I will change my life before I turn 60. My partner is overweight and has so much trouble with dermatitis on her hands that sometimes she has to wear cortisone cream filled gloves to be at night to get some relief from the pain and itching. We both would love to live our lives more fully and participate in bushwalking and other outdoor activities, but we need help.
I want to reboot the 20 years of bad habits, the disrespect for my body and the bad influences I have had on my daughters. I want to reboot my self esteem and rid myself of the constant self loathing. Something in your story has struck a nerve. We all know the secret to weight loss is eat less, exercise more, however you’ve gone further than that. You radiate health and happiness and have shown it is not just about weight loss, but living a healthy life with a real respect for yourself. I am so inspired by your story.
Wouldn’t it be great just to keep our minds positive and let others negative comments just wash over our heads. Once upon a time I suffered so much mental abuse I thought I wasn’t worthy anyone’s time of day! I became a fence sitter, grow fat 155 kilo’s no idea what that is in lbs, sick, auto immune disease and diabetes, the worse two things that controlled my life and yeppers next step is to die! When I saw Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead a few months ago it kept playing on my mind and something snapped in my mind to get my butt moving. The only way to get help is to help myself. It took wee baby steps to draw on something that was deep inside me that wanted to live. Confidence, self esteem .. hmm that didn’t belong to me it always belonged to someone else. Then I recalled my happy childhood working in our veggie gardens with my dad eating healthy organic foods. Everything I ate cooked or raw came from our land and I can’t believe I’ve just lived the last 30 odd years trying to buy the rich tastes of organic foods in supermarkets etc. I had very effectively and successfully poisoned my well being with processed foods! Mid October I lost my partner to God, a couple of weeks later I started ordering in organic fruit and veggies chanting I want to live I started juicing and making smoothies thanks to the great easy to follow recipes on here … A month later I’ve gone from 155 kilo’s to 144 kilo’s. Creating possibilities is limitless with the right support, don’t you agree? I would welcome your Guided Reboot it’s the support I need to keep me moving forward. I’m also aware that with my limited income it’s going to take a while for me to create my own garden. Many thanks in advance and keep up the awesome work that is making a difference …. x
First off- this is not a new years resolution or just because I’m turning 40 in 2013 . . . I’m a 39 year old mom of 2 young boys, wife, manager of 5 at work and seasonally a soccer coach for my son’s team. With all of these people depending on me, spending time and energy on myself used to be at the bottom of the list. I’m roughly 60 lbs overweight and have been working very hard over the past year to achieve mental and emotional balance. I now meditate each week, exercise more and 3 weeks ago I started working out with a boxing trainer for fitness and I’m starting to activate muscles I haven’t felt in 19-20 years! I’m totally amped up and feeling strong! The nutrition is the last piece. I’m making small changes but am struggling to cut artificial sweetener and dairy habits. I’m going to be off of work for the first week or two of January and plan to do a reboot guided or not. Although I would bet guided would be better to remind me to get out and take a walk instead of going to the pantry! This is my life now – continuous improvement/ work-in-progress. I’m healthier, stronger and balanced for myself so I can be more “present” for me as well as those who depend on me. So why pick me? I’m recruiting my support team and I want you to be on it!
Why do I want to reboot? I am 53. In March of 2011 at 51, I was diagnosed with stage 4 peritoneal cancer. This cancer is related to ovarian cancer. We have the defective BRCA2 gene in our family, mum died at 64, older sister has OC. I had major surgery, hospital for a month and chemo. (lost 40 pounds, put it back on & then some). I was OK until March of 2012, yep it came back. A bit of the back story, I had “preventative surgeries” to significantly reduce my cancer risk five years ago. A double mastectomy & full hysterectomy, I got it anyway.
That stinks!
So, this March another 6 rounds of chemo & this stuff was STRONG!
I got to #6 and decided I could just not do anymore. I am happy to say that I am now 4 months out in remission. For some reason my knees are horrid & swollen, and I have naropothy in both feet. The stupid naropothy makes my poor feet feel like I am walking on pinecones 24/7. I hope in time this will subside. OK, so, the reboot. I am stinking FAT! I need to reboot to lose weight and quite frankly I don’t want this cancer to come back. I think that changing my diet will really be my lifeline, but doing it on my own is proving difficult. I need your HELPPPPP. I have an awesome 14 year old son and wonderful husband that loves me for me, and not this boobless scarred body I live in. LOL I have an awesome positive attitude, but I need to match my physical body to my mental outlook. That’s the scoop, I hope you choose me, I shall attempt to reboot anyway on my own, but your help along the way sure would push me to stick to it for more than ONE DAY!

I am 26, and 26 kilos too big! My fiancé told me “I can see your uncomfortable with yourself, I want to see you happy again”. That said it all to me, people can see how unhappy I am! So today I watched “fat,sick&nearly dead” and I’m doing it! Cancer has reached too many members of my family. Please help me out, I’m excited and pumped to make this part of my New lifestyle!
My housemate is 45, weighs close to 150kgs, has some auto-immune issues ( including eczema & digestive problems) and has suffered from debilitating depression for over 10 years. He can easily sleep 16 hours a day and on some days feels like he is waiting to die. He has tried so many things – even, at one stage, taking up smoking!
He was so inspired by Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead that he started on a green juice fast the very next day, and kept it up for 5 days, even with me cooking bacon and eggs for breakfast. He’s flown home to NZ to have Christmas with his family but is hoping to start a proper reboot on his return. Meanwhile, the depression has set back in.
He spends a lot of time working in remote Aboriginal communities, and is a sounding board for many young men. He’s not afraid to talk about his experiences dealing with depression, and to listen and help others. He is one of the kindest, most generous people I know and I wish I could do something to help him. Joe, perhaps you’ll consider granting this wish. He deserves a helping hand and he will repay this many times over through the community.
i am 39 years old. i have been overweight my whole life. i have a husband and 3 great boys. Recently my health has not been the best. Recently found out my cholesterol is really high. i have sleep apnea, prediabetic, and prehypertensive. I feel like now is the time to make a change for me and my health. I want to live and celebrate life with my family and not have to struggle with illnesses that i see people face everyday as a nurse. I am ready to make a change.
Joe… I have been looking at juicing since I viewed FS&ND a couple of months ago. It all seems overwhelming to figure out what to do, etc. A coach would be very helpful in guiding me through that detail. I have battled obesity my whole life and now it is taking its toll through blood clots on lungs, gout, skin conditions and more. I have a vision of the young man in me who lost 75 lbs in college and got in great shape. At 50, now, he needs to come back out again! It seems that everything I do only lasts about six months and then after achieving some success, fades out and I start back up the scales. My kids, and all those in my life are depending on me. We all want to live and be healthy together. Please help me get started…. Thanks, Merle
I kinda feel a bit like Phil Staples. I am in my mid 30′s, am pushing 350lbs, I have had severe Sleep Apnea for several years now, and recently found out I have Type 2 Diabetes. I am inspired by the film and could use the push toward a new and healthy lifestyle (one that is very foreign to me – juicing I mean). I have a young family and intend to live a long life with them. Thanks.
I have a hypothyroid, poly cystic ovarian syndrome, high colesterol and I am tired most of the time. I need help!!! I want to have more energy so I can play with my 3 young children and I want to get off my meds. After watching what you have done I know this is the right thing for me to do, I want to enjoy everyday to the fullest
I don’t just want to reboot, it is critical that I reboot. Recently I went to the doctor and found out I weigh 276lbs on my 5’7 frame at 37. My BMI is over 43 and not only am I fat but sick, depressed and dead inside. I have no energy, self-esteem and doing simple things like using the bathroom, grooming, lacing my shoelaces or walking all are extremely hard. I am so depressed that all I want to do is sleep. My body hurts and I am miserable. I want to live and be free!
I want to reboot to help my body heal itself from mild asthma and arthritis. I’ve been on asthma meds for 21 years and it’s time to let them go and embrace a healthy life and help others do so, too!
Last year, at 39, I had an ischemic stroke. I suffered a condition called Aphasia, which is where you lose the ability to talk. Words and letters get mixed up. Fortunately for me it was a temporary condition. I found out in the hospital that I had a 90% blockage in my carotid artery. I also suffer from high blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid issues, and sleep apnea. I am now on a regimen of prescription medications. I am currently 260+lbs. I have lower (undiagnosed) back problems when I wake up and shortness of breath from the briefest of walks. I watched “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” Thanksgiving morning. Though I did go on to have my Turkey dinner that day, I thought long and hard about my situation and what I can do to change it. A few days later, I ordered Joe’s juicer that he used in the movie. I am inspired to start a new challenge and a new journey. Growing up, I was always the “skinny kid”. I would like to be that skinny, healthy “kid” again.
I am probably one of the most common dieters.
I have previously lost over 36kgs on my own but by being part of a weight loss group called TOWN which means Take Off Weight Naturally. I left that group 4 years ago, and eventually put the weight back on, plus more, and need to lose 50 kgs to regain that confidence back plus give myself a much needed reboot leading up to my 40th in March, as I don’t and won’t be fat and 40, that is for sure!! I am starting the reboot after Xmas and New Year.
So I would love to be chosen, for myself and I can then pay it forward to my husband, who will also benefit from the reboot…..I.
I will be turning 40 in March, and certainly will not be fat and 40…so I will be using the reboot as a resource/tool, to help me lose 50 kgs.
Winning a the coaching for free would be an added bonus.
I am turning 40 in March, and will definately not be spending one more year of my life overweight. I WILL be utilising the reboot as a tool, in my endeavour to be fit, strong and healthy. I know I am healthy in regard to blood pressure and cholesterol etc, but the weight makes a huge difference on the joints, hips etc, and I know how much better it feels to be slimmer, because I have been successful before, but wrongly assumed I could eat the same , not exercise and get a different result.
The Reboot coaching would be great, because I can then pay it forward to others I know.
Just completed a 21 day detox of clean eating and feel amazing and motivated to go one step further. The other night my trainer got me out of bed in order to watch your documentary as I never was a fan of juicing….now I am hooked and want to begin a reboot. I would also like to educate others on the benefits of juicing as there is still a lot of misconception out there.

Well, Joe, I guess it would be best to say that I hope so very much for this “guided reboot” in order to survive. At 29 I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, just months after losing my mother to liver cancer. My father just passed away last month of pancreatic and lung cancer. Four years ago my 18 month old grandson passed away at 18 months of SMA, two months laster my husband at that time took all our money and left, a month after that, I was laid-off my executive position. I found myself alone for the first time in 19 years. In the puddle of grief, I had to spend months trying to learn what I “liked”, for I had never taken the time to know as I knew that I could either lose myself in sadness and financial ruin, live in pain, or learn to live with the pain and stand up to it all. I had spent much of my life raising my family in a rural area and ate my way through years feeling like I needed to neglect my needs in order to support my family, yet I realized if I didn’t do something, I would cease to exist, I already felt nonexistent. So, I made a drastic lifestyle change; I turned to hiking, yoga, eating right and healing from the inside out, and outside in. I became the best person for myself for the first time in my entire life. After becoming the person I never knew I could be and found total joy in her, this past year I remarried a wonderful man, moved to his home in the metro area, left years of freelance to work in a job well below my skillset but necessary, the 8-5 deadstop traffic whereby it takes me an hour to drive 12 miles, in an adrenaline induced labor force I had avoided for so many years while I worked my own schedule, enjoyed my ability to exercise often and felt fortunate to do so. The chaotic stress of the environment, lack of my high terrain hiking hide-a-ways and waterfall chasing, has thrown me into emotional and physical havoc and assisted me in gaining 35 pounds of depression — after all my hard work of finding me…to lose me…it has devestated me and felt like death itself…pure and simple. I am disgusted in myself, it is my fault, but the more I have tried to get back on track, it seems the more despondent I have become. I am at the point that my hormones are out of control, I am not happy, my skin and hair is dry, my face bumpy and discolored. I am depressed about the way I look, the way I feel and the way I am hiding from the world more each day, slipping into a hole, praying for a lifeline…On top of it, for years before I met my husband, he thought he was getting “brown recluse spider bite” infections, one after the other, and after we were married a few months he suffered a horrible bout of what he thought were 7 bite infections at once. I begged him to go to the doctor as they seemed more related to toxicity to me, his eating and exercise habits were not the best and I was worried for him that these toxins were basically seeping out in a form of disease. It turned out to be MRSA, he was given high doses of medication, then relapsed again, he was left with his life, but many scars to show his determination. I firmly believe much of his MRSA is related to toxins from the food choices he has made throughout the years and lack of enough exercise. MRSA can kill him and I am not going to stand by and let it happen. We have been researching and trying to find something that will help us, then the other day, in the midst of so much despair, we saw your movie…and for the first time in a year, I felt hope…my knowledge of body, mind and spirit held a hand out to you…We purchased your recommended juicer last night…made our first “juice”, and plan on beginning a reboot this coming Friday. I believe due to my lifestyle change a few years ago, I am so much more sensitive to what my body needs and the desperation inside me is screaming for me to do something to get myself back to where I was and better. I am 51…my mother passed away at 48, her mother at 38…I want to live like I am alive again, not live like I am waiting to die. I have married a wonderful, kind man that deserves to know for himself what I have experienced in the past and more and he deserves his happy wife back, so we can live the rest of our lives as healthy as we can be. We are raising my 9 year grandson and he deserves to live in a happy, healthy household so he can grow up with healthy habits, himself. The support of your team, I believe, would take us to loving our lives again, together. We are two determined people, even if you guide one of us, the other will follow…you may be the saving grace to help us both survive and live for a better life that we can pass on to others. Thank you for your kind considerations.
The main reason I want to reboot is so that I inturn can help other people in Eastern Kentucky to get their lives back. I found the Documentry on Netflicks on Sunday evening. I am desperate. I have to get healthy and lose weight. I have been trying for years to do something. I am out of control. I live in Eastern Kentucky and I offer Horse Back Riding to the tourist that come to the Natural Bridge and the Red River Gorge area. It is my job and my lively hood. I am 47 years old and have gained about 30 extra pounds in the last 2 -3 years and already had about 30 pounds that I needed to lose before that. So now I am atleast 60 lbs over weight and my energy level is just about at the bottom. From a scale of one to ten, I am at a two on the energy level and still slowing down. I have 11 horses that I take care of mainly by myself and 6 old english sheep dogs and I am trying to raise pups. I have got to get healthy and get in shape to survive this. Please help. I saw the documentry on Saturday night and watched again on Sunday and Monday . Monday night I drove about 70 miles to get a juicer and then a few more fruits and vegtables.I am committed to do this no matter what it takes. I believe in what you are doing and want to further help people in this area that are in much need of health and diet control. Also my horses are just about to go on strike with me and my weight. This last year I had a hard time just getting up and down on the larger horses. This year if I dont do something I am going to have to probable get rid od the Horses. I love them and love sharing them with others. I have offered Horseback riding for about 10 years. I am 5ft 8in tall and weigh 230. I have been telling people for yeras that what we are eating is killing us. This doc is the best one I have ever seen and I have told anyone who will listen about it. Thank you so much for considering me. I really do appreciate it. Thank You Fonda Etienne
This is a plee from a desperate woman. I am a 180kg (did I actually just acknowledge that on a public forum) 44 year old. I have been gradually gaining weight for the last 20 years. I have lots of excuses and reasons but the only one that really matters is I am now too fat to move freely and can barely walk from one room to the next in my house. Yes I have arthritis in my spine, hips, knees and ankles. Yes I am visually impaired with no diagnosis (is this weight related? Probably). Yes at times I do eat the wrong things but not as often as you would think from looking at me. Sometimes I don’t eat at all during the day because I just can’t be bothered. The thought of food makes me feel awful. I just really want to feel better. I am sick of feeling bad all the time. I am unhealthy, I have a family who I want to be around to see achieve all the usual milestones but really I want to do this for myself so that I can feel better. I want to feel well and whole and healthy, not tired and weak and useless and sick all the time. I want to do the 60 day reboot I need the kickstart this would give me. I don’t believe any of the lesser programs would be enough to help me at this stage. I desperately need the help this would give me. Thankyou for your time and consideration.
Hi Joe, I would do best with a guided reboot because my whole life I have been heavy. Through grade school then middle with all the ridicule from kids”that’s a killer” then High school (no dates to the prom being fat).I had to basically starve myself to make it into the military. when I got to Germany all bets were off (FOOD!!!)
I got out in 1990, the old habits started back up again i blew up quick. I continued on hearing fat jokes “this time from my family and friends”. I tried every weight loss plan imaginable from hoodia to jenny Craig and from starvation to weight watchers. I’ve tried the bulk of them.
After a failed marriage I am a single dad to an Autistic teen. I have given my life to doing for others and giving to others, I think at 45 and about 100lbs overweight i need to start thinking of me for a change.I watched “fat, sick, and nearly dead yesterday and said ” I want to be another Joe or Phil”. I am in the process of changing things in my life to ready me for the day I start to create the me I deserve.
Thanks and “Good on ya”

Ive recently watched your wonderful documentary on netflix and let me tell you I wanted to jump out of my seat and start juicing the next day.I am 26 5’2 and 150 lbs and I know im at the early stages of being overweight so I wanted to nip it in the butt before it was out of control. I dont really have any serious health aliments yet but im a gentic time bomb waiting to happen so to say. Unfortunately I have had a hard time affording not only the juicer but the fruits and veggies to supply the weekly intake you must consume. I would really love to juice for a extended amount of time but I think I would fail based on my lack of funds to keep fresh produce in my kitchen at all times! Its almost sad that we can eat cheap and unhealthy, or we can eat expensive and healthy. I think there is something wrong with that picture. I would love to win this free guided reboot but I think I would be stealing it from these more deserving people. The best of luck to the winner I hope you get what you desire most in life:)
After watching your film I figured this could be good for everyone on the whole planet. Want to reboot myself of shock from the way I have been treating it over the years and feel the juice fast could be my answer. I have been in the process of educating myself on cleansing my body for years, the past 4 years, since I’ve had my second child I knew I had to clean up my act in order to keep up with the kids, then 2 years ago, white spots started appearing on my arms feet and face. I began drinking green smooties once a day and at times sticking to a completely raw diet. Now I get dermatitis or something like it on my hands and they crack and bleed and I find it extremely difficult to use them some days I’m very stressed out drink to much beer at times and eat to many chips, food is where I go for my comfort but I want to find the life my healthy self is waiting to pa-take in. I rent in Denman NSW and the closes Kale supplier is 1.5 hours away so the garden beds are going in January at our new plot. I’ve been growing my own wheat grass and sprouts in the kitchen and have enough for 4 ounces of wheat grass a day and make the sprouts into Ann Wigmores energy soup. I love eating this way but feel I must need a reboot to get rid of what ever it is that is going on. Help Love the wild herb Girl Annie.
Rebooting my health is a tool I need for my whole family. Several of my eleven pregnancies have been difficult (including two miscarriages) and I had to eat carbs often to keep “morning, noon and night” sickness at bay. Now that I am not pregnant, I find I need to retrain my body. I need lots of energy to keep up with a large, growing family and avoid the diabetes pitfall many of the women in my family have fallen into. My husband needs me to reboot, my children need me to reboot and mostly, I need me to reboot!
I’m 57, and I’ve gained so much weight the past 7 years. Started going through menopause and I lost all interest in exercising, and getting out. I’m always hungry, depressed, allergies, migraines, Kidney and Bladder infections, no energy, and I’m sick all the time! I feel trapped in my own body and I don’t know what to do! Watching Fat Sick and nearly Dead for the 2nd time. Showing my husband. He’s thin and can eat without going weight, but has Arthritis, so bad…could this help him too? Thank you, God bless
I want to reboot because I need to lose weight as I suffer from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and need to get healthy again as my golas for the future are to join the federal police and hopefuly have a baby, but losing weight would definetly help me conceive
I WANT TO LIVE ! I`v spent my life obese, depressed and hating myself. That along with an abusive childhood led me to a life of severe drug addiction(heroin) and gang activity because I was looking for a place to fit in(still did`t fit in). 5 years ago I saw the light and left the gang lifestyle, 3 years ago I gave up drugs and became a drug counselor to help those who cannot yet help themselves. I have one goal left, to become fit and lean and finally be happy with the person I am becoming and I need your help. I WANT TO FINALLY LIVE !
I read the many states of dis-ease that so many have written about here. With such a freely available plan to follow, there is still something that hinders many from taking the first step to wellness independently. Understanding the vicious cycle of dependency to sugars in their many forms in the high carb/sugar diets so many of us are addicted to, and the inability for the body to absorb so much of the nutrients we actually DO eat due to the high fat/additives/salts etc in our diet, it is no wonder we need that extra support to keep our focus as we let go of the old habits and keep a strong focus on where we are heading towards wellness. With someone there in cyberspace staring you in the eye and encouraging you forward, the focus can become more intense, with the combined energy, enthusiasm and determination of a collective rather than being totally alone.
I would like to experience a guided reboot to experience what Joe and his team define and use to build on the success of this program. I think it would of great value to Joe to then build a team of shall we say ‘mentors’ who have ‘been there and achieved’ to offer their assistance to be guides for the growing numbers wanting to take the guided plan option. I have been studying wellness and natural medicine for years. Learning about raw food diets, living the experience and amazing results and providing free support as an intern to a detox fasting program overseas. I love what Ive seen and experienced as others drift from dis -ease to wellness and vitality. To join a team encouraging so many to have the same experience, would find me perfectly in a space of happiness, joy and not to mention a lot of fun. It makes perfect sense however to take the ride yourself first, thus Id love to be chosen for the opportunity to participate with my reasoning clearly defined.
I came to the US ten years ago as an Au Pair. I have always struggled with weight but since I’ve came to live in NY, I have had just a few friends, most of whom left back to their countries. Living in different families over the years, having no family close and almost no real friends made me forgot all about who I was and what my purpose in life is. I have come a long way since but I am still struggling with weight as old habbits prevail and my willpower is at 0. I am only 31 and already experiencing certain health issues. I tried probably every diet possible, but it seems that it either doesnt work or I cannot stick to it. I have been exercising a lot as well, but that only forces me to eat more and I find myself in this endless circle. My finances don’t allow me to have a personal trainer and so I find myself alone with my struggles once again. Please help me to turn around my life to better. For once I would like to be the real success story instead of just reading one. I definitely need a help. I would like to feel as good as u guys in your movie!
My family and I watched “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” this past weekend and it radically changed the way I view my life and the lives of those around me. You see, I am 32 years old and have been obese for pretty much my entire life. In May of this year, I finally decided enough was enough and I had to lose the weight. Both of my parents are obese and were both recently diagnosed with Type II diabetes. My mother, in addition to being diabetic now, has long suffered with Fibromyalgia and is on a slew of medications. She is always in pain and quite frankly is depressed. I was headed down that same road at 32 and I feel that I have to change my life. I also want to be a roll model to my parents so that I can inspire them and they can know that if I can do it, so can they. In addition to my parents and their health issues, my mother-in-law was recently diagnosed with cancer and just underwent an operation days ago. I want her to be healed and whole and I feel that if she sees me losing weight and getting healthy, it will trigger her to want to do the same.
Hi Joe,
with Xmas on the way, I am looking forward to killing myself with food. I love the Xmas hams, and souvlakia, and usually add a few kgs each year. Only after, I feel sorry for what I have done…and now i am older, it is getting harder to maintain a healthy weight. As, i am classified as “obese”, this program sounds like just what i need, as long as it starts after xmas…..
I would like the chance to be able to experience this to see if it will truly help me. I have always been sick, since I was very little, and have had various health problems over the years. I display the markings of lupus disease on my face (the butterfly shaped rash) and also have psoriasis behind my ears. I have never felt “good”, always down in the dumps, sick, exhausted, and have no energy! I grew up in a household that was stuck on a “meat and potatoes” kind of diet, meat in EVERY meal of the day. High calorie, gravy, deep fried, terrible food. Its a wonder I’m not overweight. I just want to know what it feels like to be healthy for the first time in my life. Being sick all the time and having no energy only makes me grouchy and miserable to be around and has really held me back from success at work, and from enjoying my family at home, but mostly from being happy and healthy. I would love this opportunity.
My reason for wanting to join the Reboot program is many…I have just found out that I am Celiac and Lactose intolerant. I also have a form of RA in my spine that I have to take injections for every week which in itself carries nasty side effects and I also have fibromyalgia. I am wanting to learn the most healthy way into eating well and drinking juices. There are so many views and theories out there I find it confusing with who to listen to. I would like to follow your Reboot Program because you have qualified teachers, coaches and instructors and many positive testimonials. I don’t want to just get up in the mornings and “wing it” throughout the rest of the day. I want to learn the ins and outs and the whys so that I not only feel good, get healthy, know what I’m doing but so that I can actually write a positive testimonial myself. I would love to so much be able to reduce or get off this medication. I need coaching because I really don’t know where to begin. Thanks for listening to me. Take care and have a good day bye for now. Cheryl
I am 43 with 3 children 13,11 and 4. I play netball once a week and try do a fitness class once a week. Whilst at a class this young girl (18) asked me innocently if I had just had a baby, argh horror big wake up call. Exercise is just not cutting it on its own and I,ve always been very anti diet since my mum yo yo with her weight from size 10-18. When I saw your program it ticked so many boxes, not a diet, healthy, could help my migraines, not a fad, no sign up fees, no contracts and go at your own pace. The biggest part it seems to me is your own will power and how much you want to put into it will depend on the result. It,s tough but I’m sure it will be worth it.
I am a grandmother of 3, the oldest is 7. I have joined gyms, tried different weight loss plans from diet pills to shakes and powders. My cholesterol is high, blood pressure is high, arthritis in my back and shoulder. Had my right knee replaced 10 yrs ago and now having problems with the left one. A coworker was drinking the green juice and told me about it. I have watched the video and decided that this time was the last time I was going to start over. I want to live a long healthy life. I am 5’3″ and weigh 220. I do not want to go another year feeling this way. I am fat, sick of it and nearly dead. My birthday present to myself is to LIVE!
I have a family history of diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and other coronary diseases. I personally suffer from constant migraines, physical pain and auto-immune flare ups. I’m also pre-diabetic. Worse, I’m in my early twenties. At my heaviest, I weighed 390lbs. I changed my lifestyle and am currently down to 315lbs. Unfortunately, my progress has been at a stand still for nearly a year and my symptoms are seemingly worse. Both of my parents passed away in their early 40s and in my current condition, I would be lucky to make it there. I am in desperate need of help. I don’t know what else I can do.
Why do I want to Reboot? Because I’m fat, sick and nearly dead!
I want to change my life Im fat not as sick but my body is starting to hurt I dont think Im nearly dead but I could be I keep trying to restart a reboot. I went three days on a reboot before I fell to some baked chicken and a glass of wine, or two. Im able to go all day just juicing but I find in the evening Im weak. I have lost 35 lbs since I started trying to change my life back in March. I believe I can reach my goals if only I can REALLY get a reboot and change my taste buds and quit craving things like chicken wings. Any way there are others out there that could use a guided reboot more then me because I can do it and will do it. I will reach my goal of getting back to 215 lbs. Thanks for providing the vehicle that WILL get me focused and back on track.
I am 30 years old, overweight, and sick. I have been sick most of my life, getting worse as I get older. A few years ago after years of getting viruses every few weeks I decided to try and fix the issue. So began a long journey of going from doctor to doctor. I have seen pretty much every type of specialist I can imagine. They all seem to know whats wrong with me and prescribe some miracle wonder drugs. Some have made me worse, some have not helped. Over the past few years I have taken hormones, eaten gluten free, taken a multiple kinds of allergy medication, had vitamin infusions, taken continual anticbiotics.. and the list goes on. I have out on 15kilos over the past year. I currently see three kinds of specialists and take over 25 pills a day. I dont feel great. I feel fat, tired, and have no energy. I eat very badly and feel worse, and then eat more because I feel worse. Over the past six months I have just given up. I have lost all faith that anyone can help me. I feel completely hopeless. I go to the specialists but dont believe anyone can help me anymore, as I have heard it all before and nothing seems to work. I am only 30 and an intelligent and highly educated woman and should know better. To wake up and feel great and have energy and not be sick feels less likely than winning the lottery. I recently went overseas and it was ridiculous how much medication I had to take with me. A few weeks ago I injured my back at home doing very little. Healthy and fit 30 yr old do not injure themselves doing nothing. I worry about the future. I have no motivation to do anything anymore and no hope for the future. I am only 30 and feel like I am slowly dying. I need help please.
Hello,
I’m a 39 year old Puerto Rican woman and I’m 65lbs overweight. I’ve mentioned that I’m a Puertorican to give you an idea on what kinds of food I eat, which is mainly a lot of pork, red meat, rice with little veggies. Watching your journey has inspired me so much, however, i’m a little scared and nervous to start. I’m a smoker, and i’m on meds for high cholesterol. My 14 year twins are also overweight because they don’t know any better, which is my fault. I would love to get your help and see results to be able to encourage my entire family!! But If i don’t win, I will start on my own because watching your story has truly inspired me!!!
I first watched the documentary “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead” over a year ago. I watched it twice before deciding to research how to do a reboot for myself. I bought a Breville juicer, and spent a long time in my grocer’s produce department finding everything I would need to make healthy juice recipes. I was very eager and excited to start my reboot and lose weight, but, four days into my juice fast, I discovered I was pregnant! My doctor told me I’d have to wait to continue my reboot until after I had given birth, and then given my body time to heal. Well, I’m healed! And I’m ready!
Before I became pregnant, I was already overweight, weighing over 200 lbs. While pregnant, I ate healthy and exercized regularly, but still gained. My daughter was born three weeks early and still weighed 10lbs and 14oz, if that tells you alittle about how much I weigh now.
I would love and deeply appreciate the gift of this free guided reboot because I entirely too overwhelmed to do it alone right now, despite how badly I want, and need, to do it. Being the mother of a three year old and a 10 week old is certainly rewarding, but isn’t the ideal situation to begin juicing alone. I have no time for myself, and sadly, I have noticed the slow demise of that thing called “willpower” that I used to have so much of. Being overweight in not only a gross mistreatment of the body I could have, and the life I could be living… it’s also depressing. I need to be happy and healthy for my children, and not continue feeling like I am an embarrassment to them, and to myself. I have never won anything in my life, and have never wanted anything more. Please choose me for this amazing oppurtunity to have a successful reboot on life. Thank you so much!
Why do I want to Reboot?
I watched your documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead and teared up so much that I had to watch it twice as well as ALL of the behind the scenes footage. Your documentary was so inspiring that I told everyone in my immediate circle about it and watched it again with my mother, children, sister, brother-in-law, and family friend during this Thanksgiving. You inspired us all. What I like in particular is that although you went across the US, only one person really got on board (Phil;) however, that one person that you helped, in turn helped so many people and it reminds me of Gandhi’s famous quote: ‘be the change you wish to see in the world.’ You have done that and you inspire me to do so as well. In addition to that, I have a skin condition that I believe has come from poor dietary habits and would like to resolve it. I’m also, heavier than I’d like to be. I currently have a Jack LaLanne juicer and it’s been getting a workout ever since Thanksgiving. However, I want juicing to become a part of my lifestyle, but I feel like I need some guidance from someone more adept than I am.
I have just watched your “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” experience and to say that I’m inspired is an understatement! I have had success with weight loss programs when I put my mind to it, but when life gets in the way, I tend to gain back my lost weight. I plan on making this a lifestyle change for me, as I have thyroid disease, psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
I However would like to ask you to help a dear friend of mine. He is lost, depressed, fat, sick and IS nearly dead (much like Phil). Just 5 years ago, he was an energetic, happy lover of life, the type of person people flock to! His health began to deteriorate when his father died while caring for his wheelchair bound mother. My friend happily became his mother’s caretaker, but depression led to overeating and alcohol. This March his mother died despite his attempts to revive her. His life is quickly spiraling down while his weight climbs higher. He has been diagnosed with bleeding ulsers, high blood pressure and more I’m sure he hasn’t shared. I don’t know his weight, but would guess he is close to 40+0 lbs and stands at 5’8″.
I feel that someone to help guide and support him that isn’t involved emotionally with him is the best gift he could receive this year. He is an amazing man, kind, generous, and would do anything for a friend or a stranger. It breaks my heart to see him so broken. I believe that if he can gain control of his physical health, he would be able to address his emotional health as well.
Joe if you were able to help him, that would be a gift not only for him, but for his family, friends and his beloved parents. God bless you, for all that you do for the people in the world with your inspiration and for sharing this information at no cost. I thank you for your passion!
As a single mom of three beautiful daughters…I am used to taking care of everyone else. Not so great at taking care of myself. Reading everyone’s stories makes me wish that I could get my health back and then move on to helping others. Best wishes to everyone.
Joe,
My name is Jerry. I am 50 years old 5′ 10″ and weigh 305lbs. I am married and have a 17 year old son. My Father died at the age of 50. I have tried several weight loss programs to include Metabolic in which I lost 92lbs only to gain it back. I blame no one but myself. I hurt all the time and have a difficult time walking (being told I am a pre-diabetic, I take 8 diffrent medications. A week ago my Chiropracter suggested Juiceing and even gave me a juicer. This is my fourth day Juiceing 16oz. 3 x a day. I have also been eating a mid mourning and afternoon snack consisting of Non salted sunflower seeds and raw almonds along with a gallon of water for supper I am eating a so called normal meal. After watching FS&ND I am ready to go all out on the 60 day plan. I would like a better quality of life a long with the opertunity of being on this earth for my wife and son. I seem to look after everyone elses needs but my own. I also live in a community of over eaters and would like to help other people live a healthier lifestyle. Thank you for considering me for this opertunity. Weather or not I am chosen I am choosing to reboot, relive and take control of my life.
I would actually like this program for my sister and her husband. My sister is obese. She is 5’2″ and weighs over 200lbs. She has tried several “diets” but she just quits and gains more weight. She has a lot of stomach weight as well. I know she is not healthy. She is constantly complaining of pain. She has a lot of ankle and foot injuries and her skin is terrible. I know part of the reason is she gets depressed. She is reluctant to try anything I suggest, probably because I am her baby sister? I love her she is so precious to me. I feel so bad for her because I know she is self conscious because of her weight and her skin problems. Another problem I see is that she has no real grasp on how bad she really eats. I also Know that she tends to not have enough money for food sometimes so when she does get food she overeats. She’s amazing and such a good person. I would love to see her healthy and happy. Currently, I am juicing for 10 Days. I love the juice. But at day 5, I am missing my crappy Taco Bell and other junk foods. Hahah!
I want to be a winner!
I have told so a plethora of people about the site and even did a 5 day plan. I feel the need to start a new path for the year and I feel the juice would plan would help me as I go to the next level.
I really want to reboot because I want to live and live well. I’ve been obese all my life – since age 7. While other people long gone days when they were young and fit, I don’t have memories like that to look back on. I’m the eternal skeptic and don’t believe in fad diets. But my previous experience doing my own modified version of a 30-day juice and eating veggies reboot a while back has proven to me that my body indeed does not suffer or feel deprived. I was bouncing off walls with energy and, more importantly, I was feeling healthy. Yes, my face and body were starting to show it (which was a bonus I liked) but what felt really good was having the energy and the joy that came with it. It’s just been really hard to keep it up on my own. I could really use a community of support — even if only online — to keep up sticking to a reboot… to keep recipes interesting, to hash out the initial sluggish struggle, to keep up encouragement, and basically to help direct and support me with what to do with all the energy I end up getting, because as a long time fat girl, I just don’t know what to do with it all. Thanks for reading, Joe et al. Hope I get picked, but even if not, I’m just thankful for this community I found through this website. =)
Hi Joe and fellow rebooters – I want to reboot because I want the support of a community. I am finding it challenging to lose the weight – even though I am juicing and stopped eating meat, my weight has not come off. I am short, older and about 50 pounds overweight – and it just seems like it takes much more effort to drop the weight. I have seen the allergies lessen since doing the juicing – but keeping it up – as I see this as a life style change and not just a temporary thing. I want to learn how to do this as a way of life. My cholesterol has been an issue and I have had lots of side effects from medications so currently I am not taking any meds and attempting to lose weight. I would like to feel supported in learning how to live this new way. That’s why I want to do the reboot.
My family asked to try some recipes before our set date “Jan 1″ to reboot, and now we drink at least 1 drink everyday and my twins and I are drinking 2 glasses. It has become a fun habit and I bet when our reboot set day comes up, the transition will be less difficult . Try 1 glass/ day, of any green recipe and I bet you will start to see some results at the end of your first week. Have a sweet day
Joe- I need a guided reboot! I need it for my health and so I can be well enough to take care of my family. I’ve been recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder. I am in so much pain plus so many other symptoms. I’ve done an 8 day fast with juice and I felt great! I want to do a more long term fast with eating vegetables and fruit included. I also am going to change my eating habits permanently… Thinking about becoming a vegetarian. From what I’ve read, eating high fatty food causes more inflammation with autoimmune disorders. A guided reboot will help me with the eating part of a fast; the juicing is easy I just need help with the meal planning, focus and just overall support/motivation. Pick me please!!!!!
I would like to do the reboot as I have always been big and would like to change it for good as well I would like to join the army and need to loose the weight to do so and think this is the way for me..
Thinking you
Sarah Greenwood
I really liked your story and think the reboot is for me the way to help me get the job that I have wonted for a long time that is to join the army.
I would love a reboot, at this time of year it is too easy to indulge in the excess that is everywhere, the problem is it takes a toll on your psyche and spirit, as well as the physical. I do not want to feel run down and tired all the time. I want my energy and zest for life back, I want to reset and reboot, to turn back the clock and feel alive again.
Merry Christmas Joe, it’s awesome to see someone succeed and create new dreams, it shows the rest of us that it can happen, don’t just wish it, make it a reality. Rawk on, you crazy diamond.
2013 will be my 50th turn around the sun and recently divorced, problems with alcohol….something’s gotta give. Your video was truly an eye opener, not only to me, but my partner as well who is 6′ 6″, 490+ lbs! He is already ready to start a 10 Day Juice Fast in the New Year. I can think of a better gift to give not only me but both of us: the gift of health. Cheers mate!
I meant to say I can’t think…. DOH! ^_^
My hubby and kids wanted to try some recipes before our set date “Jan 1″. The response was so WONDERFUL, they asked me to start making a juice every morning. My twins and I drink 2 glasses right now. So try experimenting slowly and I bet it will become a habit before your set date. It worked for us.
I want to reboot because I need to be healthy to take care of my two precious children. I have always been obese but felt pretty healthy. After the birth of my high-needs son three years ago, I developed some nerve problems from lack of sleep. My skin burns constantly. Since having my daughter last year, I have had non-stop heartburn, irritable bowel syndrome, pre-diabetes, and have been in the ER three times with painful abdomenal attacks. Now my liver and spleen are enlarged, and the doctor says I have to lose weight if I ever hope to get better. I am 29 years old and about 80 pounds overweight. My mom has to drive two hours to my house at least once a week to take care of my kids because I am in pain. I’m desperate to feel better! And even better, my husband, who is 320 pounds, says he would join me in a reboot if I can get the motivation and guidance that I need.
In all honesty, I want to start juicing to rebuild my body to a healthy state after 40 years of harm. I am planning my “ACTION PLAN” and my family is wanting to take part and make changes along with me. I would like the chance to be part of a group for the encouraging support that is going to be needed to make such a lifestyle change.
I’m a 28 year old mother of three. Stress and poor eating habits have led to a large amount of weight gain over this past year–I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been and the extra weight is taking its toll on my 5’2″ frame. I wasn’t sleeping well and lacking energy I desperately need to care for my 8 yr old, 4 yr old and 2 yr old! I knew something needed to change but was overwhelmed at where to begin.
Three weeks ago I watched your documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and was inspired to change my overall lifestyle; it was your personal results that encouraged me to try it out…you made it seem possible. Immediately, I went out and bought a juicer and started juicing….and today I’m on Day 15! I dropped 13 lbs the first 10 days but in the last five I’ve only lost 2 more. While I’m happy with any results at this point, after this morning’s weigh in I felt very discouraged since I know I have a large amount of weight to lose.
I would LOVE the chance to win a Guided Reboot so that I know for sure I’m doing it exactly the way I need to in order to guarantee the best results. I’ve been doing my best to follow the recipes but I’m not sure if I’m drinking too much or too little and I feel that having a guided reboot would give me the confidence I need to continue juicing. I’d also love to get down to my goal weight (which would entail losing 60 lbs!) before my 30th birthday (Jan 2014).
Thanks so much for the chance to win such a great opportunity!
I’d love this opportunity but it’s pretty obvious other people need it more than I do. Good luck everyone!
I’d like a guided reboot because I think a good kick in the bum (erm… jumpstart) is just the thing I need to get motivated again about self-care. Eating well and exercising are the most foundational form of self care, right?
WOW ! it seems that some othe the others here need it more than I do. I am 40 a traveling sales Rep who loves a beer and a feed, finding the wright food on the road or even stopping to eat can be an issue, but in the new year i will have a crack at the 5-5-5 and see how it goes, to everyone else i wish you all the best! the first step starts with you!
I have struggled with my weight my entire life and have never felt as inspired as I am since I watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. I bought myself a juicer and I have set the date 12/26/12. I would start sooner but I am gifting the juicer to myself for a new beginning. Everyone wants to know why I’m not waiting until after the New Year and I say “why wait?” I talk to all my friends and family about this reboot and many have jumped on board with me
I can’t wait to start and would love the extra support of a Guided Reboot. I will definitely be writing in about my progress and posting pics. Thank you for opening my eyes Joe! God Bless You!
My husband and I are starting this Reboot we received our juicer tuesday and have been juicing since, we have 3 children and they are juicing as well, we watch the Fat Sick and nearly dead about a week ago, we also watched Forks over Knives, and decided that we were not only going to juice but we were going to change our lives forever. I’m so happy about our decision we have made about changing our lives. Joe I just thought you should know that you have changed our lives for the better and even though this is day 2 for us I know in my heart your changed my life forever.
Hi there,
I’m a 38 year old mother and wife. I’m recovering from my third bout with Diverticulitis. The doctors recommend taking out my entire large intestine because I have so many pouches. I do not want to be hospitalized again and I especially don’t want this surgery. I’m on day 5 of eating nothing because while I recover, my intestines will need to rest. This led me to your documentary and I would love the help to get started with this reboot. No matter how much pain this causes me, I find myself feeling better and going back to my old habits. This is a great chance for me to learn something about my body and learn how to eat right so I don’t have to get this surgery. Thanks.
I want to feel better, breathe better, live longer and be able to run with my grandchildren that is my reason for wanting to win the guided reboot. Like so many I have tried all the latest diet fads and programs and they do not work. My body needs to be clean and healthy on the inside so I can do all that I want to do. I don’t have the money to spend on a program so winning the Guided Reboot would give me the tools and information I need to live a happier and healthier life. I have read your book and seen you movie and believe me it has put that oomph in me to open my eyes. Thanks Joe for all you have done for so many. I really really want to win this Program.
Dear Joe,
I am not sure if you are a religious man or not, but my faith is what makes me strong. Last night I just received a plate of wonderful treats from some dear friends for the Christmas season. I stared at the beautiful cookies and told myself I did not need them. Some how my hands and mouth did not listen to my mind, and I ate nearly the entire plate of sweets. I then got depressed at how I could just so easily give in and not have the self respect or restraint that I need to better my life. Around 2 am this morning I pour my soul out to God and prayed for the will power and desire that I need to change my life. I know God does not want me living the way I am and treating my body with such disrespect. I prayed that I would be able to take what I know in my head and move it to my heart, that I would have the desire to not only be a hearer of what I know to be right, but to actually act upon it. A few short hours later I woke up and was so tempted to call in to work and tell them I was not coming in. I skipped breakfast from the guilt I felt last night from eating all that junk. I made myself come to work knowing that I had to pay for the consequences of my actions. Upon arriving to work, my boss suggested to me that I watch a documentary that she fell in love with on Hulu. While I was searching for her recommended documentary, I scrolled past yours and could not click on it fast enough to watch. I just finished watching it and am near tears, knowing that God answers prayers and that coincidences do not happen. I was inspired throughout every moment of the film. At the end of it, I was directed to your website. I just wanted to know how to start the program to change my life. I came across your generous give away, and if anything wanted to share my story with you.
I am a 25 year old, female, college student. I will be graduating in May of 2013. I come from a long line of family health problems. Growing up I always thought that I was fine, that I was just “bigger-boned” than everyone else (honestly, who hasn’t used that line before?) My mother, my best friend and hero, underwent gastric-bypass almost 2 years ago and has lost over 130 pounds. She has an autoimmune disease called Lupus, and has suffered many of its harsh and unforgiving symptoms. Numerous doctors informed her that if she didn’t lose the weight and change her life style, that she would not see her grandchildren run in the playgrounds. My grandfather was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, became paralyzed after suffering a stroke, and was well over 400 pounds. He died almost 5 years ago, an awful and very well preventable death. My grandmother, just celebrated 75 years, suffers from many mental and physical health problems. Most of the time she cannot remember my name and calls me Janelle.
I am near 100 pounds over weight. I started “dieting” when I was 14. I have tried multiple diets, pills, and self-inflicted methods. I want to reboot because I want to own my destiny. I want to stop crying when I go into dressing rooms and can’t fit into any of the clothes. I want to finally do something for me and have the self confidence in myself that I can do hard things and over come challenges. I am dating a wonderful man, who lives a healthy life and active life style. He loves me for who I am but he wants me to be able to one day have a family with him. I want to be able to go running with him in the mornings, and to one day have the energy and stamina it takes to be a mom. I want to avoid the health risks I know that are awaiting me if I do not make significant changes in my life right now. I want to learn to love myself, the real me, and stop hiding behind my current self and food. I want to be able to share my talents and skills within the community around me and not fear that people are mocking me and judging me for not being able to overcome my personal weakness.
Most people can hide their weaknesses and addictions. Unfortunately when food is your addiction, you can’t hide it. Everyone knows where you fail in life. I want to overcome my addictions and turn my weaknesses into strengths. I know I can suffer now or I can suffer in the future. Suffering now will be of much greater worth, allowing me to live a longer and healthier life. If I choose to suffer later, I will be suffering multiple diseases and early death.
If anything Joe, I appreciate the inspiration you, Phil, and many others have given me. It is hope for a brighter, healthier, and happier me.
Winning the reboot, would mean winning a new life.
Thank you for being more than just a man who made a film, but a man who answers prayers.

Dear Joe – I saw your documentary “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” on TV recently and was so inspired to want to try the juice fast. I am a single mum of two young children who has overcome cancer. Exactly 5 years ago I had my operation and treatment and yesterday I went for my last hospital appointment. The hospital discharged me and the specialist said the chance of the cancer reoccurring now is almost 0%. A great early Christmas present, but I really want to help my body as much as possible and be a shining example to my children. I would love to be coached but will do the fast regardless. By the way, I am a Registered Nurse in intensive care but am now in training to become a life coach. I am wanting to to go into health and wellness coaching! Have a wonderful Christmas.
Regards
Angela
I have deteriorating bones at a young age and I’ve put on a lot of weight. This of course puts more pressure on my joints and I suffer chronic pain. I want to reboot not only to lose weight, but to reduce the pain I live with, get more energy and continue a swimming routine once I feel more confident in my lumpy swimmers. I also want to see if it will help with my IBS and unclog my foggy head and memory.
My juiced 10 years ago, I thought not for me. I became tired and fat and still thought not for me; not realizing I was I a downward spiral. I have been diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma ( not the good one and it is terminal) I have had two rounds of Chemo 4 months each and I am agin looking down the path of more tests, scans and generally feeling the end is neigh. I need to reboot and I know I need some much needed support. chemo has left me very depressed and so very tired. Working then not working has killed my finances and left me in debt, I need to be able to work. I have bought the right juicer and have bought the juices from Woolworths to minimize the shock.
This would help me though the process of how to and what to do as this is the only thing holding me back. I don’t want chemo again but if I don’t try this it might be my only option. thank you…
Sorry, it was my sister who juiced….
I’m a 27 year old female who has suffered from debilitating migraines for the past 3 years. Befor that I was very active, healthy and was a runner until my life halted when I started having daily headaches that kept me in bed. I would wake up with these horrible migraines that would keep me in a dark room all day. I had MRIs done and got put on 3 different medications to help prevent my migraines (one so strong I would have to get off of it if I wanted to get pregnant). These meds made me sick and I was still getting about 15 migraines a month. I have done so much to try to get back to a healthy state. Once conventional medicine failed me I started to look at holistic, natural ways to help. I have been a vegetarian for 1/2 year now, get regular acupuncture and am proud to say ive been able to get off all the medications and for the first time in 3 Years I feel better. I have become very interested and aware of what I put into my body and started watching lots of documentaries about food and health. This made me watch you video and I was amazed at how a body can recharge itself and I thing this final step is needed for my body to bounce back. I want to reboot my system so that I can get back to running and finally play An active role in my life!
Just watched “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead“ today, I watched it 2x to make sure I had not missed anything. I had tears in my eyes at the end both times. My health has become quite an emotional issue for me. I turned 65 in October with the stark realization that I didn’t think I would still be here this year. I have tried many different weight loss plans and diets including supplements to try and accomplish a better level of health, each time I feel disapointed and frustrated at failing once again. My current weight at 5’2″ is 262 lbs. I have rheumatoid arthritis, which has attacked most of the joints in my body. This too is an auto immune disease. MY condition has pretty much taken over my life, I take prednisone and methotrexate (6 wk) as well as a host of other medications to control my condition. I have HBP, pre diabeties, hypothyroidism, etc,etc. I am sure you can imagine the frustration and hopelessness I feel most of the time. When I watched your movie I felt like I had found something that could really work! Of course no lifestyle change is easy but I do feel this one is manageable. With the right guidance I feel I can live a healthier, happier life. As a single mom my main focus in life was always my children, I never took the time to pamper or pay attention to what I was doing to myself. Now that I am in the condition I am at this young age I worry I will not be able to watch my grandchildren grow and enjoy their lives. I live on S/S income and only hope I can afford the food program. We do have some local farmers markets that sell fresh produce at decent prices. To be able to work with a nutritionist and have the guidance necessary to be successful would be a Godsend to me. I want to be able to do so much more in my life both with family and community. I would love to again have the stamina to reach out and be a more involved person but my health prevents alot of activities for me. This new juicing program to me is a new chance for hope and a new lease on life. I plan to follow it closely and be successful. I already ordered my juicer from BBB and as soon as it arrives I will be on my way. God bless you Joe for your courage to reach out to other folks and share your success and story with others.
Health! That is why I want to do this. I have been over weight for to long now. I am in need of a reboot badly. My stomach is not digesting right and I can’t seem to lose weight no matter what I do. I need a jumpstart and guidance to figure out how to do this. I am approaching 40 real fast and am worried about the over 40 and can’t lose weight problem. I am hoping that I can accomplish this before that and go into my 40′s feeling better then I ever felt in my 30′s. It is time to live again!!
I work in the area of mental health (GM of mental health services for the Schizophrenia Fellowship of NSW) with a responsibility for over 100 staff who support and assist over 3,000 clients. I have done just an unsupervised a 7 day reboot myself and found the results amazing (I have before and after photos that I could send if you give me an email address). I am both really motivated for myself being overweight 90 kilos with intermittent gout and also there is now increasing evidence that inflammation in the glia cells in the brain (part of the who inflammation and unwell ness syndrome) is a major contributor to mental illness, including serious illnesses like schizophrenia. I want to get the ball rolling on this but what to start by showing that we should eat at our own restaurant first (maybe an unfortunate metaphors), to inspire staff to inspire the people we assist.
I am 23 years old and i am 14 lbs away from 300 lbs i need this. I don’t want be like this any more.
I’m miserable and my health has been declining for the past 24 years. I have been overweight since my son was born in 1989. I have gotten heavier and heavier with each year. I did manage to lose pounds here and there but would always gain it back (plus more). I’m now 53 years old and weigh 256 pounds and have Type 2 Diabetes (insulin dependent), Diabetic Nerve Pain in my hands and feet (and lower legs), High Triglycerides, Depression, Sleep Apnea, High Blood Pressure and was recently diagnosed with Fatty Liver Disease in April 2012. I am desperate for help. My son is getting me a Breville Juicer for Christmas. He had me watch your “Fat Sick & Nearly Dead” documentary a few months ago and I was so hopeful that maybe I could do your reboot and get healthier. I just don’t know if I can do this on my own, though. I need some guidance and support to help me get started on a healthier life and get me off all of the medications I must take each day for my health issues. I would also love to be able to sleep without a CPAP machine. I don’t want to spend the next 24 years of my life like this. Please help! Thank you for your consideration and blessings to you and your staff for a wonderful Holiday Season and New Year!
I would love to try the Reboot program as I have so much weight to lose and as an amatuer ballroom dancer, It’s not easy to move lightly during dancing when you’re heavy. Also, my father was diabetic as is my sister, my late mothers uncle died from diabetic problems, my father also had heart problems ephysema, blocked arteries. I also would really love to walk the Portland Marathon here in Oregon next year, but at my weight, the arthritis in my knees I wont be able to make the 26.2 miles probably without passing out unless I drop some weight. I dont want to end up like my father, though I loved him very much he died in 2006 with such a laundry list of medical problems and I want to dance for the rest of my life! not end up wondering what happened when I’m in my 70′s on medications. I need your help!.
Dear Reboot Team,
I just finished watching your movie, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. I had been watching a few minutes per day (about 20 minutes) while getting ready for work the last few days, and I can tell you this film has changed me. I identify with the struggle and the title, because though I don’t suffer from the ailments showcased in the film, it is more than just my health that needs the reboot. I am ready to live a new caliber of life, and realize that some of the choices that I have made in my diet, have kept me imprisoned and insecure for most of my adult life. There is a gorgeous woman inside of me, and I want to be free. Free from sugar and processed food addictions, I want to be free from every day pain, and the low dose blood pressure medication that I take simply based on my family history. Don’t get me wrong, I have some weight to loose, but I know that will come, what I strive for now is not just healthy weight but optimal health, and I just need some assistance along the way. I too, would like to be part of something greater than myself and inspire others. Please help me reboot, so that I can pay the gift forward to so many others that need it in my immediate community. Thank you.
Hi my name is Margarita, Im a normal housewife, fortunately I dont have any disease or overweight, but since I watched your tv show I have been trying to encourage my family to change their eating habits, given that most of them are overweight. I want to reboot because I would like have more information about healthy eating habits and sharing with my family and friends. And of course because I love Juice.
I’m 44, married with 4 children. I’m 98 kg and my gut is 118 cm. If I don’t do something now, I don’t think I’ll get to see my kid’s grow up, and have their own kids. I saw your documentary, and I want to fix this now. Can you help me please?
I weigh 420 and am scheduled to have a gastric bypass. I have been praying and asking God is this the right way to go. Well one night I was looking at Forks Over Knives on Netflix and as it was going off it said if you liked Forks Over Knives you might like this and they showed 3 different movies with similar topics, but the title fat, Sick an Nearly Dead just seem to fit me because that’s what my Doctor said what would happen to me in 5 years it I didn’t lose the weight, so after several diet attemps (weight watchers…etc) he sent me to see the Gastro Bypass Doctor,which he said I was a perfect candidate for the surgery. Now I’m no to keen on have surgery, but you know they say desperate measures cause for desperate times and that’s what I was getting desperate.

Well one night I was looking at Forks Over Knives on Netflix and as it was going off it said if you liked Forks Over Knives you might like this and they showed 3 different movies with similar topics, but the title fat, Sick an Nearly Dead just seem to fit me because that’s what my Doctor said what would happen to me in 5 years it I didn’t lose the weight, so after several diet attemps (weight watchers…etc) he sent me to see the Gastro Bypass Doctor,which he said I was a perfect candidate for the surgery. Now I’m no to keen on have surgery, but you know they say desperate measures cause for desperate times and that’s what I was gettiesperate. Well when I went to see the doctor I was at 430 and the Nutrienist put me on a protein diet (1 protein shake for breakfast & 2 for lunch and chicken or fish with vegetables for dinner), because the doctor said he wanted me to get down to 375. Well I thought if I could do this then maybe I wouldn’t need the surgery so I started the protein diet and in 1 months time I lost 10 pounds, and then after that 1 or 2 pounds here and there. I begin to feel better and started walking and taking the stairs at work. When I had gotten down to 415 pounds I begin to experience the most terrible pain I ever felt in my leg before. I couldn’t believe, I was losing weight and this was happening to me. I went from walk on my own to walking with walker to a manual wheelchair to a electrical wheelchair. Well saw my doctor and the bone doctor and she said my bones looked good but in order to get the swelling down I had to take Ibuprofen, which the gatro doctor didn’t want me to take because it messes with the stomach but had to do some. Well I started taking the Ibuprofen which seems to be helping because I am to alternate between walking with or without the walker,but I still use the electric wheelchair part os the time at work. After looking at Fat Sick an Nearly Dead, I felt like there might be Hope for me yet and that this was meant for me to do. I have been scheduled for this surgery for almost a complete year. Right about this time last year is whenever I started having test done to get approved for the surgery and it still hasn’t happened. I believe this is all God’s plan. I would love to win this reboot not only just for me but also for my husband who is a diabetic like me ( which he has by the grace of God, 3 surgeries and getting ready for 1 more and feet is still looking good), my 13 year old son who is over weight (he weighs over 300) and takes high Blood pressure medicine and my brother (who I believe may very well weigh over 500 or close to 600 pounds) who is eating himself to deaf. No matter how many of us talk to him he just does not believe he is killing himself. I would just like to do the reboot and maybe inspire them all to joining me. Thank you so much for listening. Know That You Are Blessed!!!:-)
just signed up.I am 175kgs please HELP ME!!!!! i need a Guided Reboot. I want to be here for my 50th birthday,just watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead though my tears.today i got a Juice Fountain Plus,tomorrow i buy fruit n veggies to start juicing my kg’s off.
Watched the movie a year and a half ago and struggled through a 5 day reboot. But that got me learning and investigating. Read Eat to Live and did his six week vegan cleanse and “reboot” in Jan 2012 which brought me down the road of total vegetarianism. I love it and have a whole new world opened up to me but still struggle with eating healthy and would like to do another reboot to help the process along and get better at juicing to reboot and supplement the journey going forward.
I’m fat and I’m sick and I’m so afraid the dead bit is going to come before I get the energy to get off my fat bum to do something about it. I saw FS&ND for the first time last night and I just wish I’d seen it years ago. I hope it’s not too late for me.
helloo – geeze Joe,…my husband and I just watched your programme.. ouch… what a wake up call! ausi ausi ausi… fat sick and yes we need to REBOOT the system or at 56/54 we wont be around much longer with the weight and combined medical probs HELP is needed PLEASE
My 5 year old son has Chronic Urticaria, we have taken him to dr’s and they have run so many tests but can’t seem to give us any answers. I want to reboot our lives, and live healthier, and hopefully change his urticaria. He’s not overweight or anything, I just think he isn’t eating all the veggies he needs. I am due with my baby in February, and we are going to be needing a kick in the pants.
I want to reboot to realize my God-given destiny!
Wow I have never had a movie hit so close to home. That could have been me. I am turning 59 next month and weigh in at 350 lb for the last ten years after a major hip revision. Since then I have had 2 knees and a shoulder replacement. Only 2 more and I have a complete set of major joints. Besides the arthritis eating me up I have lower back problems, High blood pressure and High Cholesterol but my Doctor says not to worry about that because my HIGH BLOOD pressure will kill me long before the Cholesterol will. I have been on many different diets but nothing seems to work. Looking for a fresh start and believe if I can break 300 that it will all be down hill from there. I believe with the right support group that I can get a good start and continue from there. Results are everything. My goal weight is under 200 lbs which is when I was a body builder 30 years ago and in my best shape. My wife is very supportive and will help me on my journey. I have my juicer and ready to take the first step on my journey to a new life.
I want to reboot due to the simple fact that I am overweight and I want to be underweight and healthy. I have four children my youngest being two. I am a 32 year old mother 5’2 and 245 lbs. I don’t believe in dieting or popping pills. My life is to busy to remember to have to take a pill so many times a day at a certain hour. I don’t like to put chemicals in my body, I barely take aspirin when I have a headache, and I don’t smoke or drink. I am blessed that I currently don’t have any health risks considering my father died last year of congested heart failure and he was diabetic as well as over weight. I recently saw the movie just three days ago, and I was really inspired by that movie. I figured how much healthier can this “diet” be just to drink natural,and healthy for a period of time. My twin sister has done everything from counting calories, diet programs and workout videos, I have yet to see progress. She has lost some pounds then gained it all back and then some. So I guess to answer your question I choose to reboot because it sounds the most healthy way to become healthy with a plus of losing pounds, as well as for my children, if it works for me maybe it would help my sister and last but not least for myself.
As a teacher I make plans every year to do it right. Be there for my kids and myself. Every year I start fatter and more tired than the year before. Although I am able to fullfill my commitment to my kids, I can’t seems to take care of myself. With more and more requirements working at a Title 1 and Edison school, I am just getting in deeper and deeper. My school is on the bottom of the list and I will never give up on my kids. I would like to apply that to my life. I bought the NutriBullet and just love it. I never felt better. However it is not a plan for life but a tool. In my search for recipes, I came across a post to check out Fat, Sick… and I am so glad I did. Now I have recipes that I can’t wait to try. I went shopping and bought the veggies I did not have. I wasn’t sure what plan to follow, and after reading the various post. I am going to do the 60 day reboot..
I was recommended by a friend to this site. My husband passed away 3 years ago, I quit smoking two years ago I have gained 40 lbs in the last 2 years and am tired of living like this. Food has become my comfort. I am 51 (birthday was 12-12-12) I need a change and am willing to commit to one. I have been going thru all of the blogs and forums but I am still confused on some of this (okay most of this) LOL It would be wonderful to win a guided reboot I am ready to start living again. thanks
I have battled with my weight for many years now, yo-yoing to greater numbers on the scale each time I fail at another diet plan. At 43 years old, I’m struggling with sleep apnea, depression, anxiety and hormonal imbalances. My weight holds me back from engaging in the things that bring me joy and has kept me from looking for a life partner. I would like nothing more than to feel healthy, vibrant and able to contribute all of myself to the world (including the many philanthropies I’m invested in). Most importantly, I would like to be around to watch my beautiful nieces and nephews grow into the wonderful human beings I know they will be. I was so inspired by the documentary and believe that juicing may be the answer for me. Please help me live the best possible second half of my life. Thank you.
I want to reboot because I just spent the last year dealing with stage 2 colon cancer which included surgery, radiation and including steroids which led to increased appetite for sugars and weight gain. I have had fibromyalgia for twenty years and now am also struggling arthritis. I am sick of being sick. I need to take control of my body.
Watching Fat, Sick, and nearly Dead was a huge eye opener for me. Some friends of mine suggested I watch it, and when I did, it was so motivating to me. I got a juicer and have started trying to juice regularly, but I can’t seem to stick to a routine like I know I need too. My doctors call me a walking train wreck (fibromyalgia, lupus, IBD, high blood pressure, very overweight etc, etc, etc..) At the ripe old age of 29, I am embarrassed to say that my husband AND even my parents can run circles around me. I want to be able to enjoy my life more! I want to enjoy the limited time I have with all the wonderful people that I have in my life! I need the energy and ability to be able to do this! Diets don’t work, you lose 10 pounds only to gain 20 back in its place. I need a mental and physical overhaul, with the guidance and encouragement to accomplish it! Weight loss is great obviously, but I am more concerned about being healthy and living each day to the full……. Any help or guidance I could receive would be a giant step in the right direction, and overwhelmingly appreciated, that’s for sure!
I have so many reason that I need to win this reboot that I dont think I can put them all down. I need to get healthy I am 64 and weigh 127kgs. I have tried so many different diets and always put the weight back on again. I dont know how I got here but I know it didnt happen over night, I honestly thought I cared about myself but obviously I don’t. This weight came on me over the past 18years and with aching knees, back and graves disease, exercise is almost impossible. I need help and I need it before my time runs out. I have 7 grandchildren and they have only ever seen a fat grandma. I need to know that this is not the end and that there is a better road to travel.I watch all of the fat shows seeing people have surgery or starve on the biggest loser and dont really look healthy at all, the reboot seems to be a much more healthier way. I have seen on the dvd that I received free from magazine that my life can change. I am sure that if I had a chance of a guided reboot it would change my life.

I suffer from severe Idiopathic urticaria and watching Joe and Phil’s stories was especially inspiring to me. I have not yet advanced to taking prednisone because of the side effects, but my current meds are not working sufficiently — I came very close to needing to utilize my epi-pen this week.
I am an otherwise healthy 46yo vegan, a runner (training for my fifth marathon after an extended break), and a registered nurse working on a hospital Medical unit.
My urticaria is debilitating, interfering with my work and recreational activities (I frequently have foot outbreaks in addition to knees, buttocks, hands/wrists, lips/facial, laryngeal, etc.)
I want to reboot because I need a fit and able body to do what my life’s passion is: serving humanity. I am interested in doing my best to help others and volunteer overseas with several charities. As a result, I need a body that feels and looks great that will allow me to do this!
Your documentary was so Inspirational! I am going to do the 21 day Juice and my husband Patrick is going to do the 10 day Juice.
This morning I have invited 10 women over to my home and we are going to watch the DVD I purchased in hopes that I can continue the ripple effect you have started! God Bless you and Thank you!

Why do I want a reboot? simple..I want my health back!
At the age of 45 I am overweight, am headed in the diabetes direction, have high plood pressure and elevated colestorol levels. Not Good! I personaly think the whole country needs a reboot. Cheers!

My husband was diagnosed 3 years ago with a rare leukemia that has very few treatment options. The only chemo that is known to work is no longer working. His dr has recommended we start looking for holistic/nutritional alternatives. I am his and our 3 kids sole provider and caretaker and I was diagnosed 10 years ago with hashimotos
My husband was diagnosed 3 years ago with a rare leukemia that has very few treatment options. The only chemo that is known to work is no longer working. His dr has recommended we start looking for holistic/nutritional alternatives. I am his and our 3 kids sole provider and caretaker. I was diagnosed 10 years ago with hashimotos thyroiditis and fructose malabsorption. I’m exhausted. We have gone from a family that eats organically and nutritionally to a family that struggles to eat regular meals due to circumstance (hospital stays etc). I am in desperate need of a reboot so that I can properly care for the nutritional/emotional/physical needs of the rest of my family. And this might be my husbands last hope as the leukemia is progressing. Help.
Hello,
I just watched your movie last night. I was just diagnosed with Lymphoma cancer. I am 100 lbs over weight. I have two beautiful daughters who I want to be here for a while to come. I have tried every diet know to man kind, until now. I would welcome the oportunity and the guidence of your staff. Please help me save my life.
Thanks and Blessings,
Freddie
I want a better life for my family, my son is only 4 years old and weight 87 lbs, I want to teach him to eat healthly and have a good life, I don’t want him to suffer or get sick for his weight, I thing this s a good time to start and made a big change in our family, and after saw you movie my husband and I are motivated to do it.
God bless you
Joe,
The reason is simple really, because you made it okay for men to want to eat better and lose weight. If a woman had done the show you did I probably wouldn’t have already purchased a juicer in preparation for my reboot. Somehow, you made it a manly thing to do? Thanks for doing what you did Joe, it has helped a lot of people, but it has helped a lot of men who would not otherwise have done anything,

Since watching your documentary I have been gathering as much information as possible about all things juice, as well as juicers and an all raw diet! I has opened my eyes to not only my heath and wellness, but my families as well. I have a Fiancee and a 3 year old son and we are ready to change our lives! I was at one point in my life healthy and athletic in my eyes, I ran and for the most part ate healthy and my fiancee played football and stayed in shape all through high school and most of college. Since relocating from AZ to MN 5 years ago I have put on almost 100 pounds and my fiancee after ending his football career 2 years ago has gained about eighty lbs. We are lost and Fat, Sick, and nearly dead! We want to change our life and teach our son to make these strong healthy decisions so he can have a healthy, long, ailment free life! you have inspired us so much and we believe saved our lives as well! We thank you so much and would love to win a guided reboot to start our journey! We are hoping to make it to 60 days! Thanks for this chance and JUICE ON!!!!!!!!
I’d like to be an inspiriation for my 3 year old so that she knows a life of health and activity. I am active playing soccer and running but am overweight and eat poorly. I know that I could be so much more. I’m confident that a guided Reboot would be the great start that I need. Thanks for the opportunity to to try for a free guided reboot!
I am 50 and have an 8 year old. I have about 15 kgs I need to loose as I want to be healthy for my son who is an action kid – I need to keep up with him. It’s not much weight to loose I know but it has to go. Your journey is very inspiring.
Why I want to reboot my life, suffered a stroke now about threeplus years ago which changed how my brain and body think about and process food and as a result I lost more than 150 plus pounds very unhealthly basically because my body starved itself by rejecting most if not all cooked, processed foods and of the few things I can try to eat raw I m not well sustained. The conventional doctors don’t know why my body rejects the foods or why it makes me physically sick as i throw up a lot . I also have fibromyalgia, lupus, chronic pain syndrome, diabetes though now low sugars because of my inability to eat properly. I dont want to die. I have been to acupuncture, nutritionist, psychiatry psychology all sorts of specialists. I have two girls one who is also diabetic with allergies and i want to get myself together so i can help her and my oldest. We are all trying to cope with the loss of my mother and my grandmother from cancer both of whom suffered strokes very young like I did though not from high blood pressure like they did. Please consider me for this free guided reboot I have struggled with this for four years now and Ive only been able to maintain some semblance of staying alive because my body basically cannabilized itself during all this and that’s how ive survived thus far on my self. My weight gain came about because of knee surgeries to try and correct degenerative joint disease issues starting when i was just 29. Unfortunately they are not done so that I am now 44 and blessed to be here I want to stay as long as Im able I hope I am not too complicted Thanks for your consideration.
G’day Mate!
My wife and I have been having fertility issues for the past two years. Since watching your movie I have been juicing every other day. I think that winning a reboot program would not only be good for me personally but may also help with the fertility field. It has rubbed off on a few of my friends and I recently bought and shipped a juicer to my Dad in Australia.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Mick
P.s
Maybe after 15 days I will push onto 60?
I have been interested in juicing and whole foods nutrition for some time. I am a 46 year old single mom who wants more than anything to be healthy for my 13 year old son. He has quite a few allergies and I am certain diet is a huge portion of the problem. Looking for a way to healthfully release toxins and food addictions from my body and get a fresh start for raw foods whole foods life style. Was sincerely inspired by fat sick and nearly dead. I want to be healthy. I want to live. I want to demonstrate health and wellness from the inside out.
I want to reboot because I watched “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” and it inspired me to try it. I am on a lot of medication for my age (45) and have an autoimmune disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, rheumatoid arthritis, GERD, metabolic syndrome, and edema. There is a history of heart disease on both sides of my family. I was very thin and healthy before the use of steroids for my autoimmune disease. I have the will power to be successful on the reboot plan, but it would be so much easier to have some support. Joe had such an amazing transition and I feel I deserve to make that same type of transition for myself. I am willing in put in the effort necessary to achieve my goal of being healthy again. Thanks for your consideration!
I’m a fat 55yr old male at the end of my tether and finding it hard going (life) I’m hoping this is my answer to achieve a better mind and body and to recover my life …with thanks Russ O’Brien
I want to do the guided reboot because I’ve watched the film twice and have envisioned myself doing the reboot but I know I need guidance and support. I have been on multiple plans and realized while watching Joe’s film that portion control, points, calories and the like are not going to help me while I keep consuming the food that is processed and keeps me addicted.
I’ve had many life changes in the last year and a half that have contributed to my health conditions; adopting my kids, losing my mom suddenly (before she could really meet her grandsons, and having to reapply for my job, which I did not get, so now I am unemployed). I admit I have used food to soothe myself during these events but while it calmed my nerves, fears and stress it contributed to my weight problem and added allergies and/or asthma (I broke out in hives for a week without any explanation), sleep apnea, GERD and possibly adrenal fatigue.
Doing the guided Reboot will give me the support I need in the times I get weak and fearful. The positive outcomes from the Reboot will make sure that I am healthy and comfortable enough to play with my sons, that I will be around long enough to raise them and enjoy a long life with their children and families, I will be able to qualify for affordable health insurance and life insurance since I am unemployed and no longer on an employer’s plan and I can be an example to my sons on how to eat healthy and enjoy whole foods instead of the example I am showing them now. Thank you for such a neat plan and for realizing that there are a lot of people who truly want to do this but need the support and guidance of talking to a couch and other members while they are in the depths of their Reboot. This is like you Joe coming to each and everyone of our towns like he did with the man and woman in the movie. I’ve secretly wished that he could come to my house and set me up and be on the phone with me and now this program is the next best thing!
I am not grossly over-weight and I am fairly healthy. I do however have acid-reflux disease among other stomach problems. I want to do this simply to become more healthy, to lose approximately 40 lbs and possibly cure me of my stomach ailments.
Overworking, overeating, and drinking the other “juice” chronically has been hard on my body and led to mood swings and lack of focus. I want to engage in a juicing fast program to take a hold of the reins of my health and heal, physically, emotionally, and spiritually!
While researching recipes for juice extractors google returned a link to your site. I recently lost my job and got into a bit of a rut. I want to start getting back on track to healthy eating and living. I do not want to wait for the new year and then make a resolution to feel defeat if I don’t keep it. I don’t want to be on a diet I want to change my way of eating and your program will give me exactly what I need to do this.
I recently lost my job and got into a funk. I lost approximately 50 pounds over the last few years but I am finding myself revert to bad habits. As I researched recipes for juice extractors this morning I came upon your site. This is exactly what I need to get back on track and to live a healthy and balance life.
I would desperately love to win this competition as, after watching ‘Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead”, I embarked the very next day on a ten day reboot. I followed it to the letter and did not lose even 1kg! This has been an ongoing thing for me for the mast 6 years! I ahve been desperately been trying to lose weight, tried every diet on the market, yet have not lost 1kg on any of them. Even after trying pescribed diet medication from the Dr, for 2 months….I did not lose 1kg! (The Dr had never experienced this before!) I have about 20kgs to lsoe and I am desperate! Surely there must be something that will work!!!
Hello Princesschick and Congratulations! You have been randomly selected as the winner of a Free Guided Reboot! We will be reaching out to you via email with more details. Best of Health – Team Reboot.
I want a reboot because I’ve just begun to eat plant based and I need a jump start!
HELLO IM 43YR OLD FEMALE AT 250 LBS, A NURSE WHO WORKS NIGHTS AND HAVE GAINED OVER 30 POUNDS IN THE LAST 7 YRS- I SLEEP IN THE DAY, NOT ALOT OF TIME TO EXCERCISE AFTER WORKING 12 HOUR SHIFTS- I SEEN YOUR MOVIE AND I LUVED IT-IVE LOST 18 POUNDS SINCE AUG 2012, BUT I NEED TO REBOOT TO LOSE THE OTHER 80 LBS I NEED TO SHED.
I want to reboot to gain a healthy pain free body. I’ve been “dieting” for over 30 yrs. never reaching my goal weight (200 lbs.) or even coming close. The lowest weight I remember getting to was 279 lbs. & I thought I was in heaven then. Right now I’m doing the raw foods thing & staying away from cooked foods, doing green smoothie and some juicing (hardest part). I used to snack a lot, so I scour the healthy websites for vegan snacks. I could greatly benefit from this guidance.
I want to Reboot because I have alopecia aereata – total hair loss.
I have been bald for about 8 years and very discouraged. I can’t seem to find anything to help. I would love to have guidance from a nutritionist and accountability to transform my life. I am very tired and usually need a nap every day. I could lose about 20 pounds.
If chosen, I would faithfully follow all recommendations, as I am ready for a change.
Oh I am tired. It may be allergies or stomach pain or irritability or stress that won’t go away with exersize but the key is fatigue. There are many days I so not want to face life because of this energy level. I see poeple around me who don’t get “sick” on a weekly basis where the have to stay in bed and avoid people because if I told them how tired I was I would cry. The doctors have not been helpful. Nutrutionists try to put me on low fat foods that have 25 ingredients and that is on yogurt! I have tried making some of your green drink and already it seems my body is craving it but I know I will need some support to keep going. Please consider me as a candidate. I love your inspirational story!
While at my dad’s house on Thanksgiving I took some time to look through some old family photo albums. There were lots of pictures of my grandfather, uncles, and extended family. It had been a while since I’d seen all those pics at once and it was striking to realize how many had died of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes related illnesses. I was also reminded how many of them were still alive but had suffered major heart attacks of the years. Looking through the albums I began to see that nearly all of these men were in far better shape when they were my age (31) than I am now. It was startling. I can see myself heading down the same path and I know it’s time to do something about it. I’ve got my Breville and I’m ready to go.
…because I need help…help reclaiming my health and my life. I have naviagted over many hurdles in the past five years–divorce, a stroke (when I was 39!), and the death of my father. I’m 43 years old now, a single mother of 3, and a habitual emotional eater. I’ve been so busy attending to everyone and everything else in my life that I have forgotten about me. I need your help to find myself again, healthy and happy.
I want to win because I’m sick. I’m fat, but not nearly dead; and I’d like to stay not dead. I was diagnosed with gastroparesis last week. I’m can’t eat solid foods. When I eat something whole – be it healthy or not – it sits in my stomach and doesn’t get digested as it should. So I constantly feel nauseous, bloated. I have heartburn all the time. And before I knew what was going on I actually got so sick that I was dehydrated and had to spend the night in the ER hooked up to IVs to rehydrate me.
My doctor suggested I watch “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead” to see if it would inspire me. She believed that I would find at least one thing in the movie that would motivate me to try to get healthy – this was before I knew about the gastroparesis. And I did. I talked to my husband about the movie, about feeling awful all the time, and how I need to really get healthy.
I’m doing everything I can to get healthy. I’m taking the stairs at work now. That’s huge for me. I’m wearing my sleep apnea mask. But whenever I try to eat right I always struggle. I have to eat to not trigger my gastroparesis and my IBS. All my research and with my doc’s suggestion, liquid diet is the best way to go right now.
Plus, it would be wonderful to feel good! I want to feel good. I want energy. I want to feel alive! I don’t want to feel so horrible all the time.
I need to loose 35 kilos, for my health’s sake, I have HOCM and high blood pressure.. I want to change my eating habits. Help me please.
I have had trouble keeping weight off for about 4 years now. I have tried lots of diets, I have always exercised but that dosnt do any thing for weight loss anymore. I think I have done some damage to my body because of stress, food choices and other things that were out of my control and not realizing some of the things that I was eating, what it was doing to my body. I have to be careful on juicing because I have to stay away from sugar because of candida. I juiced for a week and I really felt clear and focused, havent felt that way in a long time, I stopped because I was using 6 apples a day and started have a rash from the added sugar. I would be overjoyed with any help in regards to juicing this is something I want to do for the long term and I want to be a good example to my kids, family and friends. I Thank you for the opprotunity to win a guided rebot!
Hi Joe,
I’d love to get the opportunity to join your guided reboot.
A few years ago with constant belly aces and migraines I have been put on a strict diet, which consisted of veggies and gluten free grains and rice based protein, no sugars… it was amazing I could watch the change, no more bloated belly, no more migraines, no more bad skin, I ate more and I lost weight, I had more energy and everything seemed possible… I felt so great.
It’s this feeling that I want back… I am so glad I did this diet otherwise I would never know how good I could actually feel. But then life kicked back in, I moved countries, changed job…
Now I have a bloated and constant rash on my belly again, I have bad skin, and since a year brown spots on my face. Injuries don’t heal well. I have gained weight although I don’t eat much… I have been diagnosed with a histamine, gluten and lactose intolerance, nuts as well and it feels like my food intolerances are taking over… I take herbal supplements under supervision and really try to get myself back to this good feeling and rid of the brown spots, but something doesn’t feel right, my body feels inflamed and I am worried I’ll be a statistic soon…
I juice and exercise everyday (I have been an athlete my entire life), I have done the reboot for a couple of days – I felt good… I know what I need to do for myself, but the harder I try the more I fail. It makes me upset and disappointed that I don’t have the power right now to do it on my own, I slip in nuts, dried fruits, a coffee here and there, some red wine… all this histamine crazy stuff… I need some guidance to pull through – I just turned 31 and my body needs to be rebooted.
thanks

I am sick of not taking proper care of myself. I am 100+ pounds overweight and I tried to reboot and managed 2 weeks. It was good but I cannot seem to get back to juicing. I need the support of a guide to help me get on the right track again. I felt so well after 2 weeks so I know it will forever change my life if I can get on a good track.
I will be 65 years old in April. I watched “F,S&ND” and know that it will help me greatly. I’ve tried all the usual plans. They aren’t feasible for the long-run. I am active but overweight and the last time I saw my physician he told me that he was concerned about my blood sugar, cholesterol levels, possible GERD and so on. I had back surgery a few years ago and have gained weight, gotten out of shape and you know the story. There was also a huge, traumatic event on the heels of the back surgery. Don’t want to go into my middle sixties like this. I would love to qualify for the free guided reboot. The extra help will, no doubt, be just what this active Grammie needs! Thank you.
I want to Reboot for several reasons! First, I will be marrying my soul mate in March and I want to look and feel beautiful on my special day. Second, I want to be able to do this with my future husband. We both need to concentrate on our health so that we can start out family. I want to be a healthy, living example to our children. Third, I don’t just want to live, I want to thrive! I want to lead the best life that I can and I want to get the most out of that life. I am tired of feeling tired, sluggish, and just plain bad!
After seeing your movie the other night. I am going to give this juicing a try after all i have 40kg to loose and a whole new life to look forward to.
I want to reboot so that I can go healthily (is that a word?;) into my future. To understand what I need nutritionally so as to live an active and disease free life, knowing that I am giving myself the best chance to enjoy my life and to remain independant into a ripe and happy old age with attitude:)
I want to get heathier and have more energy
For the past 3 years I have been on a journey to take back my life from food addiction. I am 61 years pol and have lived most of my life on a 100 pound roller coaster…down 100…up 100+…over and over. My highest weight was 315. In 2009 I found myself headed right back to 300+. I found a 12-step program for my food addiction, and I have released 88 pounds. (I say released because “lost” implies I am going to look for them.) I have been on a plateau for months. I would like to release 30 more pounds. After being reinspired by FSND, I think a reboot would get me restarted. I think the support and assistance of a guided reboot is exactly what I need. I have me a new Omega 8006, and I am motivated and ready to REBOOT.
I was googling different ways to lose weight and start being healthy. I am 23 years old, and I am probably about 30lbs overweight. I’ve never really dieted but have watched what I put into my body because I know after eating that hamburger or fries that I am going to feel disgusting about it. I’ve tried weight watchers and really didn’t learn anything from the program, I have also tried to exercise but I lack the motivation and have no one to do it with. In the past, I have been fit, and due to 4 injuries 2 in one year (all injuries year after year) I could no longer go out and work out as much as I wanted and to be honest, I am still healig my ankle even though its been 3 months because it still hurts and I think juice fasting would be better for me because it’ll allow my body to get nutrients and flush my system out. I suffer fom chronic migraines since I was 16 years old and the doctors found a cyst in my left side brain, but cannot do anything to treat because it’s too close to a main artery and therefore cannot receiv treatment other than pain killers to help with the pain. I have headaches every single day, all day, and all night. My tolerance for pain is high, and not only does it affect my day to day activities, I’ve noticed my C-Reactive Protein Cardiac is 3x as high as it should be. I’ve done everything I can to lower it down and I can’t seem to find anything to help me…I am 23 years old, I want to be healthy, I want to be educated on how to be healthy and I want to be able to help others if I was chosen to win this reboot.
Thank you!

This year has been a tough year for me. I’ve gained another 25 lbs. but need to lose at least 50 and ideally 70. I’m 49 years old, just recovered from a hysterectomy where I was injured by the doctor who performed it. I’ve spent the last 5 months healing from that injury laced with one horrible hospital stay and multiple doctor visits, loads of medication and CT scans. Because of the injury I haven’t been able to exercise and my energy is zero. I have high blood pressure, asthma and allergies that have gotten much worse this past year. I feel like I am falling apart.
I watched “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” and saw myself. I was intrigued. The movie helped because you could see such a profound difference in Joe and then Phil. I want to start getting my life back in order. I haven’t been able to work and I’m dead broke. And I am in the process of starting my own business with the financial help of family. I would just love to be in better shape and have more energy than I need to do what I need to do. My parents are getting elderly and I know that some day soon I will need to care for them. I want more than anything to be able to do that. Also we live on a farm and have many animals to take care of. I want to be able to ride again! It was such a joy to me and I haven’t been able to since my surgery. I want to feel like a normal person again, not a big fat blob of pain and suffering. That’s just not me.
I too am fat, I’m sick and very nearly dead as well. I am highly motivated to change that for myself and for my family. I could use your help Joe.
If I won the reboot I would be so happy, I feel if I can get a really good start, I will be able to carry on independently. I started once but was a bit confused. I am about 130 lbs overweight. I love being outside and would love to be unable to run and jump and play around again. My fibromyalgia is getting bad and I am positive that it would subside and my childhood knee problems are getting bad. I’ve started to have heart palpitations and fear I am severely shortening my life. I am even ashamed to say it is hard for me to get on my knees and pray for my family and everyone. Thank you all so much for considering me as the recipient for the reboot. Me and my four children Thank you. Aloha, Karen
I am 36 and have been living with MS for 1/2 of my life. For myself, my two young children and husband, I want to improve my health and outlook.
Dear Reboot Team,
Where do I begin. I was diagnosed with chonic pancreatitis and fatty liver disease two years ago. I also have eczema on my arms and tops of feet. When I watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, several month ago, I felt like I had found an answer to my health problems. I have been using a blender and juicer for breakfast. I now need to go several steps further and reboot. My plan is to start January 2nd. I recently saw a specialist in Houston about a throat issue. I will be having surgery but the doctor tells me I have to be thin for the surgery because of the bleeding. The thinner you are the less you bleed and bleeding is a big issue with this surgery. I am 80 pounds overweight. Thank all of you for your work with Joe, and Joe, thank you for your vision. It works

Why do you want to Re-Boot? I received your DVD from my Sister for my 59th Birthday, I have watched your DVD over and over, I know I can do it. I have diabetics, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, and arthritis. I need to get off of all these medications
that I am taking, presently I spend over $130.00 on prescriptions. I am Sick and Tired of being Sick and Tired I need some help in order for my Fasting to be Successful…. I bought the Breville Jucier and I have been doing the Fasting, I really could use some support. I am presently about 75 lbs. overweight, I started a walking program with my friend, she helps to motivate me, I can now walk up to 1 hour with her. I just loved your DVD, my favourite part is the Transformation of Phil the former Truck Driver, I have struggled with my weight for most of my life. I am
now a (New) Vegetarian this year, and I have also given up Dairy
products after reading the China Study by Dr. Colin Campbell. Please Help! me be motivated and to reach my goal. I am hooked on Juicing. Thanks Joe Cross for your inspiration. Deborah
Pick me!! Pick me! Ha! No, really… please do.
I am hoping that with some good support and advice (particularly what to do when one doesnt have a juicer) I’ll be able to stay on a reboot long enough to get over withdrawls, gain some energy, and continue on without the nasty foods bringing me down.
I’m 23 years old, work full-time(desk job), and go to school(more sitting…) and I fall into the “morbidly obese” category. Which mortifies me and makes me wish i could stop this continual weight gain. I’ve been vegetarian (excluding the past few months) since April 1st of 2008. This past summer i had started going to the gym multiple times a week. Though my endurance in class got a bit better, i wasn’t seeing any results. Thinking that I might need more protein I decided to give fish, particularly salmon (which I previously detested), another try. Since then I’ve been eating seafood as well. Unfortunately I havent been to the gym since…early september. This semester has completely wiped me out. I am exhausted all off the time. I wake up tired. I’ve caught myself falling asleep while driving to work/school. And then continue on in my sleepy haze at school/work. My diet is not a picture perfect vegetarian diet at all. I fell into the convenience foods, trying to at least quiet my stomach while rushing from one thing to another. Unfortunately I am now hooked. Im unable to get myself off the sugar, caffeine, flour, and potato train.
Just watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead last night. Amazing transformations. I would love to win a guided reboot, as I would need all the help I can get. I am sometimes good at starting things, but rarely finish to the end. I have major fatigue issues, and quite frankly, am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. Cliche, I know, but that is how I feel. I NEED HELP!
I watched your movie on Netflix. It really got me thinking about how healthy I am not. I’m a 35 year old teacher. Pretty athletic. Never really worked out because I felt I never had to. I’m 6’2″ 250. I’ve known for years that I need to change my ways but I have never made it a major priority. I’m increasingly becoming embarrassed of my body. I find myself really not liking what I see. I’ve tried diets and I’ve tried weight loss pills, which were great failures. I get sick more often than I ever have and your re-boot gives me hope that I can change my life. Not just my weight but how I feel.
I want to reboot because when I did it a few months ago (after watching the movie), I felt fantastic. My skin looked incredible and everyone noticed big changes in my appearance. I want to reboot again to give my liver a break after drinking massive amounts of alcohol. I have everything ready in my kitchen; just need a lot of support to get started again.
I just want to be healthier, plain and simple.
It’s a struggle this life of ours; work demands, family responsibilities, and all the mundane mindless reppitious thankless tasks we all endure day after day and where do i turn to for comfort? Food. Bad food. No real food – food. It’s my friend and constantly there to cradle me, soothe me with lucious peaks of whipped cream beaten into perfect submission over deep, dark chocolate mounds of cold icy delight. Or perhaps it’s golden fried onion rings sitting atop a perfectly grilled steak. Or, if having a rushing about meltdown – a quick fix fast food drive in hot and steamy bag of hamburgers and fries. Truth is, this “food” is not my friend at all. It’s a deciever and a liar and has helped me pack on weight I have no godly business toting around and I’m tired and I’ve had enough. I’m not in the severe category, but that’s more dangerous I’m afraid because the mirror can still be manipulated and the reflection says, “well it’s not THAT bad”. I want to regain control where I can still exercise control, what I place in my body; my temple. I want to reverse aging and weakness with vitality and strength, but I’m not naiive enough to think I can do it alone – at least not yet. so good luck to me with the contest….as a matter of fact, good luck to everyone. Just finding this movie and this site is already a win..thank you!
First I must thank my beautiful daughters for telling me to “watch this life changing movie”. I’m 42 year old woman, and have recently gained 30 in just a few short months. I can share all my excuses such as stress, depression, even as of late suicidal thoughts, or rather fantasies. Really I’ve just grown lazy and stopped carrying for and about myself. The saddest part to this is I still have a 13 year old daughter that I know poison with processed foods. She has skin issues, constipation, stomach nausea, migraines and general feeling of not being well. I’ve survived cancer just before my 30tg birthday, had suffered from migraines all my youth, have a rare disease of renal artery fibro muscular displasia, severe high blood pressure, and ache all over all while feeling toxic. I now weigh 175 lbs. the last time I weighed this much was 23 years ago and nine months pregnant. I can’t afford to buy a juicer right away, but I am determined to do so ASAP. I want to want to live again, and more importantly I want to be well and have my youngest daughter well. It starts with me. Thank you for making this documentary. It made me cry tears of joy to see the changes juicing had done for those on the movie. I look forward to feeling alive again.
My arthritis is literally killing me. The doctors have been unable to explain why I have such severe degenerative joint disease. My rheumatoid panels are negative, but my joints keep breaking down. In the past few years I’ve had a 4 level cervical fusion, a shoulder surgery for a torn rotator cuff, a knee replacement, and they’ve rebuilt my ankle. Now they say I need an ankle replacement or fusion and my other knee will soon need replacing. I have constant pain in my spine, shoulders, elbows, feet hands,knees and ankles. All this before reaching 60! I tried to exercise religiously after my cervical fusion, hoping it would help. Before that I was a nurse and very active, but I can no longer work as a nurse because of my lifting restrictions. .I walked 3 miles 5 days a week for 3 years. Two years ago the doctors told me I was speeding up the breakdown of my joints and should only exercise in the water, which isn’t an option where I live, except in the summer. Over the past two years I’ve developed metabolic syndrome with high blood pressure, elevated lipids and a hemoglobin A1C of 6.3. I don’t eat a lot of fast foods or use a lot of processed food, but I do love to cook. I have gained weight and my BMI is now 29.0. I live with severe pain on a daily basis, and often require narcotic medication to sleep. I’m hoping that Rebooting will help me get out of pain, lose weight, avoid diabetes, reduce my blood pressure, and save my life. If it can do all that, it will truly be a miracle.
I have been struggling with various diets and also been interested on getting a new palette when it comes to vegetables that I usually turn my nose up to and not even try, looking forward to receiving my first juicer this Friday and also looking forward to enjoying some fresh juice that my kids and I can have a blast making and trying
Thanks for inspiring us all!
After dealing with the ups and downs of hypothyroidism for the past 5 years, female hormonal changes, and the stress of recovering from major surgery and other physical issues, I feel I am finally on a good path medically but want to take the next step. My diet is the next step I need to focus on and change, not only to lose extra weight but to also fuel my body properly for continued health. I have been searching for a healthier way (not diets) and yesterday I learned about the reboot from a friend. I’m not sure I could start it on my own so I would not only appreciate your help, but would pass it on as I learn. Thanks for this opportunity!
I don’t just want or need this for me, but my family and my wife’s family have many critical health issues. I thought that if both me and my wife did this together we could help each other and provide motivation to our families. I think that being able to pass on good health is a great way to help save somebody’s life.
Im 18 years old 5′ 11” 260 lbs. with high blood pressure and very unhealthy lifestyle. My family has a history of diseases like cancer, heart disease, and epilepsy and Im afraid I might be headed down the same path. I’m looking to turn my life around in the most healthy way possible. I’ve seen inspirational movie, and this would help me immensely. I cant wait to start juicing, with or without the help. Thank you for all you’ve done already!!!
I have tried annually to change my total habits and weight long term. I even began running, and enjoying it until I pushed my self too hard and hurt my knees. I’m trying to get back into it, but am having a terrible time doing so. I look at my kids and know I need to change. Getting guided in the right direction will mean a lasting change in my life, and more importantly (to me anyway) a change in my children’s life. I believe part of part os obesity is taught, and if my children see a healthier me they stand a much better chance to live more fruitful lives themselves.
I want to reboot because I have been battling high blood pressure and do not want to contract any other disease. I am borderline HBP at 60 years of age, but I have struggled with weight gain for about 20 years. I am 5’8″ and weigh 210 lbs. as of today. I have tried juicing and a raw diet, but neither for an extended period of time. After watching your documentary I am more than ever determined to get back to my fighting weight. I am in ministry (over 35 years) and have exercised regularly for the last 8 years. In the last year I have slacked off my regular exercise due to some pain in my knees, but I am back to riding my stationary bike about 5 times a week for 45 minutes, and want to do more. Rebooting can, and will make it happen for me. Thank you
I really need to start this reboot so I can be healthier for my self and for my son, not long ago my 3 year old son was playing outside and I was watching him play, suddenly something got in him to run toward the street, I got up to chase him but could not move fast enough, Luckily the cars stopped and he was safe but I just thought, how is it that I can possibly take care of my son when I can’t chase after him, currently we stay in the house every single day because I am afraid he will get hurt, I don’t WANT to do this I NEED to do this.
JD Reedy
Definitely looking at this program to do what I need to do very soon. After watching Fat,Sick and Nearly Dead a couple of weeks ago I felt excited and am planning to start on the second of January. I am forced retired because of a heart condition arising from high blood pressure, and now Diabetes, cholesterol issues and the fact because of all the pills I am on it has caused me to not be able to exercise whatsoever. There are so many things wrong and its mostly because of my weight. I am only 62 years young and am in need of losing over a hundred pounds. I believe I can do it with this fast of juice’s. I just need to get started so that some day I can go fishing again with my son and maybe my grandson. My wife is the bread winner now, and of course being the man of the house I am feeling really sad that I can’t get back to work. My Dr says that I will always be on the pills. I want to prove him wrong. So no mater what I am going full tilt into this in January. Thank you for your time.
In the last few years I have been suffering with irritable bowel syndrome, depression, and until recently H-Polaris, a stomach bacteria that can cause ulcers and stomach cancer if untreated. I am only 24 years old, and I can barely go two meals without eating unless i’m on Zoloft, and basically starve myself. I have never really been taught proper nutrition other than the main stream diet I learned being in the medical field, but that is half the problem it’s self. I am an EMT, and i’m nearly always on the road with fast food, and cold sandwiches as my only option. When I was growing up it was eat what we could find, due to my father being a single parent he could only afford cheap can goods, and maybe pork chops nightly. If we ever differed from this it was the dollar menu at McDonald’s. I am currently 5’6″ 230lbs. I live an active lifestyle, but I can feel that my diet is killing me every day. I don’t have the energy to perform my best at work, and that’s even if I can focus on work between regretting every meal I eat spending time in the bathroom. I’ve made massive steps in the right direction cutting out fast food, and reducing processed foods, but I had no idea how bad I was still eating until my brother showed me “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead” last night. It opened my eyes, and brought me to tears. I want to reboot so bad, and I need every once of help I can get to break these addictions to nasty food. I don’t want to die of heart disease like my grandfather, and I don’t want to become some of the people I see on a daily basis who can barely move. I want to put the cheese burger down, and pick up a carrot.
Because I want to do this, I need to do this, but just need the help/guide to get my going.
Hi Joe, I just watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead! I have never been more inspired. I am nearly 37 and I live in Katherine in the Northern Territory where it is sometimes too hot to exercise and where I put my job as a teacher of 5 year olds before myself and my social life. I am at what i call ‘peak fatness’ often unwell , suffer regular migraines and just ended an abusive relationship where I was told I am useless and awful everyday. In the past my best success has been with a person trainer when i lived in a city, i want to reboot and kick start my life and get back on the health cycle. My best chance at success would be with a guide, I just know it. Please consider me for a guided reboot, Joe and I won’t let myself down.
I’ve always had a rather healthy diet and athletic lifestyle, but I’ve hit a plateau and just can’t seem to get rid of my belly pouch. I’ve tried everything….. except a fast like this. I want to target and slim down my core. Also, I believe autotoxicity of the colon might be causing me fatigue, so I want to see if this program will detoxify my digestive tract.
I have Chronic Autoimmune Urticaria, and it runs my life. I have been suffering for a little over a year, and went undiagnosed, with full body hives, daily, for over six months before I found the right doctor. I had been to 10 doctors, been through painful testing, taken dozens of different medications, and lost half of my hair before I got a diagnosis; but still very little hope for a cure to this crippling disease. High doses of prednisone wouldn’t even help. I currently take immunosuppressive drugs and antihistamines to control the hives, but an end to all the pills is nowhere in sight. I will be starting my 4th year of Veterinary medical school in January and am worried that the stress will make my disease worse (as it usually does). I am only 26 years old. I want to be able to live my life freely again, without having to schedule it around the hives. I have postponed my wedding until my hives are under control. I want to be able to walk down the aisle hive free!
Because I want to be a happier, healthier, more energetic me! I need more energy to keep up with my students!
I am a middleage woman and need to reboot for a better well-being. My problem with insomnia has affected my work and my life. The emotional and stress that I have undergone is really very hard to bear. I am not into HRT or anti depression therapy. I want to go for the natural way of healing. I have fate that reboot can help.
Hi Joe,
My name is Becky. I am 46 years old and I am “FAT, SICK and NEARLY DEAD” I suffer from Lupus, arthritis and I am borderline diabetic. I need your help desperately. I am a mom to a very active 14 year old, I need to get healthy and would give just about anything to have your help.
I’m a 28 year old mom who had gastic bypass surgery over 6 years ago. After having 2 kids back to back and losing my grandmother and dad in a three month span this year, I have found myself sitting at 200 pounds. I can’t look in the mirror anymore without staring at a person I don’t recognize and fighting tears daily. I have my whole life ahead of me and I want to change the way I eat because I plan on living until I’m 100. I plan on playing with my GREAT GREAT grandchildren. I know given the opportunity I could get back to the healthy, happy person I once way, not the former shell of what I remember being. Thank you for listening.
What a question. Well lets start with my wife and family. My wife Vicki worries so much about me, she is so afraid I am going to die and leave her alone. The people in the community I could help with a new life style and new better way of living and taking care of my body. I own a small coffee shop that this community loves and if I could bring my success as an example as to what this reboote could do and incorporate it into my shop we could change many lives if not save them. I am a 54 year old man that weighs 475 pounds who is ready, has family support and can’t live like this any more. I have my juicer but am nervous about doing this right the first time with the guidance of your team.
Getting rid of my medications, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and this massive weight that has me not able to do the everyday things I need to do for a complete life. Being able to clean myself is a thing that most people take for granted but anyone in my position understands that it is just impossible to do. Thank God for my wonderful wife who takes care of me with her unconditional love but it’s time she is blessed with a healthy man that she does not have to worry every time I stop breathing in the middle of the night with my sleep apnea.
I could go on and on but I wont do that to you but please help me change not only my life but the lives of family and community.
I have auditioned for the biggest loser 3 times, I have tried countless diets and I am one step away from getting gastric bypass. I then saw Fat sick and nearly dead, I did a 3 day reboot along with juicing and eating one meal a day for a month. I lost almost 30 lbs. Thanks to you. I went from Fat Sick and Nearly Dead to overweight and taking less medication.
Being an former massage therapist, I know a lot about optimum health nutrition. I am informed yet, still, I continue to eat sugar, drink coffee and eat mexican food, cheese and the usual offenders. I have done this all my life, with addictive eating patterns that have not really hurt me until recently, I started having symptoms related to my thyroid that has started an inflammation war within my body. Still, I do half good, half damage to my body. There is no choice, I have to change but I find a way to not do it exactly and completely. But that is not why I want to re-boot. My older brother is 350+, he has high blood pressure, diabetes, he smokes, he drinks, and I just can’t live with not doing everything in my power to help him, hoping that one thing might create a spark that will engage him, and motivate him to try, once again to lose weight and improve his nutrition. Right now he is doing no carb, lots of meat but it is not helping his high blood pressure and cholestrerol. But how can help when I am not even sucessful at this. We are a family of overeaters. I am a normal weight but my problems are not about weight, but they are directly related to nutrition and diet. I watched “Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead” and it set a fire within me and at the fact of how simple it is to change the course of high blood pressure and high cholesterol and obesity. My goal is to do the reboot successfully for myself first, then to find some other cool guys like my brother that are of his size to do the reboot. With some luck, I hope to enlist the help of my numerous mentors and coaches to donate their time to coach this amazing group of people that I enlist in this reboot. I want to set up a facebook group for everyone to keep them interested and motivated. My brother needs a reboot, it’s vitally important but also he is very isolated from other people who could help him with his goals. this is about more than just the fasting, it’s about a community of change.
“Why do you want to Reboot?”
It is simple. I am 100 lbs over weight and have been working out hard since last February, only to yo-yo the same 10lbs. I am a wife and mother to four and my knees hurt, I have sciatica and diverticulitis. I know something has to change, but I need help.
I want to reboot to put my life on a healthier track. I’m 21, 270lbs, and need a change for the better.
I want to Reboot because I am a 38 year old diabetic taking meds everyday and night and I feel miserable most days. I am a mother of 4 and would like to be here now for my children and for my grandchildren.
My cousin and her girls did the 60 day reboot and had amazing results. She even wrote and published a book about her journey. After seeing “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” I tried the reboot twice and have failed miserably. It isn’t the juice recipes, because I have found some great ones. My problem is I love food and all varieties of it. When I was pregnant with my son 5 years ago I developed gestational diabetes. Last year I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. This problem is huge on my mother’s side of the family. The diagnoses was a blow, but shouldn’t have been. I knew that eventually I would have the disease, but I put it in the back of my head thinking to myself I will just lose weight and it will go away. Well, here I am a year later and I am at the same weight I was when I was pregnant 5 years ago. At a whopping 227 and only 5’5, at 37 years old I am miserable. I can’t stand myself. I have 4 children at home and a husband who don’t eat healthy. When I try to sneak things in or cook healthy they tasted the difference. Being a full-time student and traveling for clinical on top of being a full-time mom I have no time. I make menus, I know how to plan things out, just easier and more budget friendly to get quick items. I don’t do much for me. This would be something for me…just me. I know that my body is not going to continue to live in this state. I just want out of it!! I want to be healthy and I want my family to be healthy. I have always tried to be a good example to my children, but it is a hard thing to swallow when you tell them they need to eat better and here you are 60lbs plus overweight. Quite the hypocrite. I don’t have much will power. I know that my family loves me, but it is hard to love yourself and be happy when you can’t do a lot or don’t have the energy. I want to be around when my only daughter gets married and has children. I want to see my sons graduate high school/college and have families of their own. I want to have somewhat of a normal life again. I want to know what it is like to have a healthy body and love myself again. Thank you.
I can’t think of a better way to start off the New Year than to reboot my body.
My boyfriend and I watched your movie and we were so inspired by the message and results.
We are actually a very fit couple in our 40′s and 50′s (he is a personal trainer) and live a pretty healthy lifestyle with lots of exercise. However, we know that daily life and processed foods (which we sometimes eat) take a toll on your health and we would like to give our bodies a chance to rest and refresh and receive the wonderful benefits and impact of juicing nutrients.
We expect this will probably be a lifetime change and are looking forward to witnessing the results. Neither one of us has ever done a juice cleanse and I have been researching how much fruits/veggies we will need and trying to source them from local organic producers. Having some guidance since we are so “green”, would be wonderful.
Sincerely,
Lynne & Chuck
I want to reboot because I’m about to turn 42. I’m probably 100 pounds overweight. I lap swim twice a week, I blend green smoothies daily, yet I eat crap and I pack on the weight. I need a reboot. My lifestyle choices and weight have led to a depression….
I want to reboot because I did the 3-day and felt great! I want to do a complete reboot to have more energy, feel healthier (and a little weight loss wouldn’t hurt either). I think a ‘guided’ reboot would help me understand how to ‘juice for life’ and what fruits / veggies go best together along with reaping the benefits of jucing for life!!
I want to win a guided reboot as I too am fat, nearly dead and really sick. I am so inspired by you and your movie! I have tried a lot of things to loose the weight and become healthy but with my busy job it becomes hard. I still don’t know how to juice with my working hours so a coach will be vital to success I think!! Merry Christmas!!
I am in a place of change in my life. I quit smoking in Feb of 2011, gave up most meat in March of 2012 and have been working my way towards a healthier me. In February, I will be turning 30, and in June I will be receiving my Masters Degree in Education. I will finally be starting my career as an Educator for all children. I am a motivated person but I need help helping me. I want to be the best role model for the kids I teach that I can be! This includes showing them how to be healthy and choose healthy habits.
Since we are soon to start a new year I would really love to start a new journey to become fit, healthy and most of all live a longer life. All my life ive been a chubby kid and remember times of been made fun of, even missed out on having friends due to my overweight. But now im determined to change my life around and be joyful.
Joseppi….after watching your flick two days ago, I feel like I know you. I’m 56 and in 1988 I competed in the Ironman triathlon in Kona and ever since I’ve been focused on raising and supporting my family. Working out and other activities took a really far back seat. I have gained more weight than I ever thought and for the past two years trying to find something to really grab my complete attention, Joe, your that something. Thank you
I would love to have the support, community, and ideas to recommit to a lifestyle that brings me such joy and peace.
I watched your movie Fat,’Sick and Nearly Dead’ nearly a year ago and it seems everyday I make up my mind to try it, and everyday, I let time slip away. It’s not that I’m doing anything lifesaving. In fact, I’m more sedentary than I have ever been.
I do know this. I am headed for a major health crisis if I don’t get started. I’m one of these people who understands the benefits of eating the right things, but have been up and down all my life when it comes to doing the hard things.
Now I’m faced with diabetes ll, HTN, and apnea (gee, go figure that one). I also have bouts of plantar fasciitis on occasion.
Please help me Joe.
Thank you
did it alone for 2 weeks felt great but would love to have team around me when I go again!! Thanks for your inspiration!!
Why do I want to reboot? See my profile picture? I have three gorgeous daughters, one of which became a vegetarian in 4th grade. She is now 15 years old and still in control of what she eats. I have been overweight my entire life, now I also have diabetes, I feel awful all the time, I have no energy and find it hard to even focus at times. I was raised with an unhealthy eating lifestyle and when I was old enough to understand this, I promised myself I would teach my children better eating habits. All three of my daughters are healthy eaters and none have issues with weight. I want to be a better example for all of them. I want to feel happier and healthier. I want to lose weight. I have a gym membership….I’d like to have the energy to make good use of it. I know my husband bought me a Breville Juicer for Christmas ( yes I peeked!). I am so excited to start a new chapter in my life but I feel I will need help to stay on track . I would love to win the guided Reboot. Joe you are an inspiration and I appreciate your willingness to share your journey with all of us. Merry Christmas!!!

I’m ready for a guided reboot. Let’s just go ahead and make a movie while we are at it. I really enjoyed your movie and have a new juicer coming for Christmas. Already getting excited to do about a 60 day juice fast.
Hi Joe, I don’t know if this is for those of us in Australia but I will give it a go anyway. I am 45, quite overweight & have severe oesophageal reflux, meaning I am to be on medication for the rest of my life. I am also having surgery in the new year as I tore the tendon off my achilles whilst playing soccer. I would love to be slimmer when having the surgery so it helps my healing but would love to be medication free as well. I feel nauseous on a daily basis even when taking medication. My diet is pretty awful at the moment and I just need a hand getting kick started on a new journey. I have a Thermomix so I can juice and leave in the pulp so no discarding the fibre.
Looking forward to a healthier me
I was blown away by the DVD. It spoke volumes to me and has given me hope that perhaps I too can get off the one drug that has kept me afloat for the last 7 years. I developed The autoimmune disease Lupus after surgery in 2005. I was put on prednisone along with Vicodin and a multitude of other drugs.
I have been to so many doctors over the last few years. Never once have any of them suggested a dietary approach to my problem. I have gained weight and am in the mildly obese area. The added weight makes it painful for me to walk very far. I was forced to retire early from Hospice Nursing. I would love to get off the prednisone, to be able to walk pain free, and to go back to my beloved profession of nursing those who are dying. I believe that DVD was given to me for a reason. I can so identify with your journey Joe and am thankful that you shared your experience with those of us seeking an answer.
I would be so grateful for a guided reboot.
Sincerely, Karen Rose, R.N.
My reason to Re-Boot is to lose weight but most importantly to be an example to my message of living healthy. I am currently a culinary student working towards my Associate Degree and eventually I will receive my Bachelors of Science in Holistic Nutrition. My passion is teaching people about the healing properties of food, eating, and living healthy. To deliver my message effectively I must be a living example, for most people seeing is believing. Take Care of the Temple and the Temple will Take Care of You!!!
Dear Joe, I cannot imagine how difficult it will be for you to choise a winner from so many needy and deserving people who are asking for your help. I also have health problems, emotional issues and financial difficulties that can be directly linked to proper nutrition and how I have treated my body for the last 40 years. So you ask, “Why i want to reboot”? My son and daughter watched FSND with me, we were all excited about the posibilities! I can see the end result, the finish line, being healthy strong and the sky is the limit!! I want to inspire my friends and family to be healthy and and happier. I believe the best way to do that is to SHOW them.
I am 25 years old and I need this. I spent last year fighting breast cancer and after making the extreme choice of having a double mastectomy for my health I didnt realize how it would impact my life so drastically. I had 7 surgeries after my double mastectomy for the reconstruction and Because I have an auto immune disease my health really hit a low point because of all the stress on my body. My Thyroid shut down along with my metabolism and having to be on bed rest after each surgery I gained alot of weight. Iv been working out and exercising but it just hasnt given my body the reboot it NEEDS. I 12-13-12 was 1 year from my surgery and on 12-13-11 I went into the surgery telling myself that I will leave a new me and Right now… I just feel like the old me but with alot of scars. I want to enter 2013 feeling good about myself inside and out! I hope that you read this and choose me because I will take full advantage of this and I will be so proud to give a before and after post!
Hi Joe – Loved the film – very motivating. It caused me to bring my juicer on holidays with me. I’ve got about 18-20 kgs to lose. I’m 51, single and I want a positive change in my life now! Love it that your wife says you think you’re a male model. I’m sure she likes that! Please help me to start dating again and feel sexy too. I haven’t felt that way for a very long time. I want to get on the beach and feel proud!
I want to reboot my motherhood. I want to be a healthier, more active, and happier mother for my 5 and 6 year old kiddos!
i need a new direction..and less weight
I am a cancer survivor of over 10 ears and to stay free I need to keep healthy and loose weight as I gained 15KG during Chemotherapy.
Up until recently I have been doing regular exercise such as walking and paddling but the weight is hard to shift. I have also had a fall recently and fractured my elbow and damaged my wrist and now I am restricted to walking and that is very slow because of the fall.
During chemotherapy I took one day at a time and managed to get through the treatment using vegetable juices to help with my liver function. I still juice and have a glass most mornings but I have to admit that I do not know if I can muster that strength/willpower again to do the reboot without support.
Why do I want to reboot…
Well let me count the reasons why. Oops, I can’t do that because there are not enough numbers to count that high, so I will give you just a few. I am 39yrs old. and have a heart condition. When I was 22, I lost my mom to cancer and then just a year and a half ago I lost my dad and my aunt also both to cancer, so that obviously runs in my family and I do not want to go down that road of suffering. Also as of January of this year, 2012 I was diagnosed with a disabling health condition called Chiari Malformation in which the lower part of the cerebrum herniates down into the spinal canal causing blockage in the cerebrospinal fluid flow, putting pressure on the spinal cord as well as brain stem causing pain, pressure, & numerous neurological problems. I traveled 5 hours to a specialty center for a second opinion with a neurosurgeon and he suggested working with a nutritionist and beginning a plant based diet before we do surgery in the Spring 2013. I am single and have been unemployed since April and am selling my belongings to try to keep a roof over my head. I can not afford a nutritionist and my insurance won’t cover one, so I am on my own and having a hard time with it. I just don’t understand and need someone who can work with me and teach me. This Chiari condition is not curable, but with the brain/spine surgery, medication, & lifestyle changes, which means I had to give up my dream job of owning a child daycare in my homeafter 10yrs., the progression can be slowed. I personally do not like medications and try to avoid them if at all possible. So I want to do everything I can to change my ways, be able teach others, and be as healthy as possible so that when I do go for the brain/spine surgery I can be healthy, strong and hopefully have a quicker recovery and learn to live and enjoy my new way of life and not travel the road of suffering that my parents & aunt had to endure while they fought their battles with cancer.
Thank you for considering me for a canidate in the Guided Reboot program and I look forward to the day I can pay it forward just like you.
Sincerely,
Melody C.
42 yo, overweight, unfit, cancer in the genes, daughter 12, son 10!
Why do you want to Reboot? To get my life back on track. I lost 100 lbs. about 25 years ago and kept most of it off for many years, but it gradually began to creep back up, and with poor choices I am now obese again. I MUST reboot.
Hi Joe, I would like to do the guided reboot because I tend to get distracted with other things part way thru a fast and I stop. I have lost 100lbs on two diff occations but I gain it back when I stop dieting. I need to clear my head (and stomach, lol) and find a way to lose weight that is not a diet that will one day end. I’m all over the place right now. One day I think I need to go low carb because that has worked for me before. However, I know that I’ll just regain the weight because I can sustain a program with no fruit. The next day I’ll think about doing calorie counting. I’m at a point in my life where I am not looking to be skinny. I just want to feel great and not held back by aches, pains and worry that I will get tired and hold my group back. Thanks for reading and I hope you have a great holiday.
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I just turned 54 Saturday the 15th and I know I have NEVER been in worse shape. Hypothyroidsim (hippothyroidism sounds more like it) and recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I am in constant pain which makes life hard, but moreover makes others around me seem inconsequential. Joe I look like I have swallowed a sheep! Sound familiar? I need to turn this around….a guided tour to health and wellness is what the doctor ordered. Thanks for all you do! Sharon
I would like to get my blood pressure under control and lose some weight.
The question is why do I want to reboot, but I think it’s more like why wouldn’t I want to reboot? Should I not feel clean and clear? Should I not feel the aches in my body subside? Should I not feel more energetic and focused? Should I not get good, recuperating sleep each and every night? Should I not feel good about myself and what I see in the mirror each morning? Of course I should. Everyone should.
I’ve been fat my entire life. Probably sick too. Nearly dead… well, I guess as I age I’m getting closer and closer, well beyond where I should be given my chronological age. I’m 33 years old and have never been a healthy weight that I can remember. I have tried diet after diet after diet since I was 8 years old – pills, shakes, low-fat, high protein, low calorie, Atkins, Weight Watchers, and if you remember Susan Powder, Stop the Insanity! At some point I realized that was exactly what I needed to do… stop the insanity. Though I might lose 20, 30, 50, 75 pounds, I quickly regained the weight and then some. The truth is that part of my story is no different than any other chronic dieter. What’s different about me then, you ask? Well…
I am classically trained in culinary arts. I cook at work, mostly bake, and I absolutely love it. But I know I can’t eat most of what I cook at work. I have an incredible respect for food, in it’s truest form, wholesome and healthy. After combating my weight and realizing the vicious yo-yo cycle, I decided I was done with diets once and for all. I enrolled in a school that taught about natural living, holistic nutrition and went over a hundred different dietary theories. No wonder there are so many people fat, sick, and nearly dead with over 100 dietary theories, many contradicting themselves. Which one do you choose? Which one is right for you?
My heart went with the idea of living with the seasons, eating fresh, local produce. And I try. I belong to a CSA, I get a basket of fresh produce once a week filled with sometimes unrecognizable vegetables – kohlrabi? Ever seen it? How about romanesco? Absolutely beautiful. Though my heart goes one way, my history of compulsive eating goes another. That is something only I can work on… facing those emotions that I’ve buried so deeply. I’ve been processing a lot lately… and guess what I’ve learned? Feeling my feelings, going through the experience of those emotions won’t hurt me… who knew? It’s progress.
I know logically, intellectually how I should be eating and want to be eating and living in that healthy lifestyle. And I feel that I am on the brink of something amazing, an amazing transformation waiting to happen. My food is only one piece of the puzzle, and slowly it’s all coming together in some amazing way. Please help me complete the puzzle. I desperately need guidance, motivation, and frankly, someone who can call me out, who can see through my, for a lack of a better word, bullshit.
I have already started juicing. I started 8 days ago, juicing just in the mornings, which has quickly increased to an afternoon juice as well simply because I love it so much. I have reduced my coffee consumption to just on my days off – more for the pleasure of it than the need to fill an addiction. The decision has been made — I am starting a 10 day juice fast January 1st. I hope you’ll join me, be there to support me, and motive me, and make this time, this reboot a true success.
I’m a 57 year old competitive swimmer who has struggled with weight for years! I really, really want to lose 30 pounds and enter the nationals masters swim meet next year – swimming butterfly. I also want to facilitate large Guided Reboot groups here in Utah.
My doctor has recommended this for my husband and I .
I like documentaries, and one day I was surfing the web(in desperation) looking for imformation about diet and excercise for better health. I came accross “Fat Sick and Nearly Dead” and watched it and got me interested in the reboot..
I have been overweight for 18 years (my daughter is 17 so that is clue to how I got fat) and have done many diets
and excercises without success. This Summer I did an hour on a stepper and a bicycle in my apartment gym. The next day I could barely walk and had to borrow a cane to get around. What a wake up call. My R knee was swollen, painful and I could hardly walk. I am 55 and I have a daughter about to graduate from high school. I have to keep working to support myself and get her through college. I cannot do that if my knee keeps giving me trouble.At the half price book store I got a book about arthritis written by doctors. I learned how important losing weight is for your knee pain. The book also stressed the importance of diet to reduce inflammation in the body. I learned a lot but still have trouble changing my lifestyle of no excercise and poor diet. I want to see if the reboot will help me reboot my lifestyle and get my knees (now my left knee is hurting too) back to normal. I would like to try this and then if my knees are still bothering me I will go to the orthopedic doctor. But if it works I know this will be a (and I know this sounds like what every one says) new lease on my life. God Bless,
Liz
I really need this. Stress, School, Working full time with an average one way commute of two to two and a half hours, being advised against working out while doctors tried to find out what caused severe chest pain I had over Labor Day Weekend, have all led me into a much bigger version of myself. I’m tired, breathe heavily walking three blocks or climbing stairs, yet a year ago I was biking, hiking, skiing, kayaking, rock climbing, you name it – I did it! A Regular 4 season woman! With no answers as to what caused the chest pain, the doctors are now confident that I can work out again – but I’m sure starting out behind the eight ball! HELP, JOE! I need your guidance!!! Sheila Doucet
I have gained 80 pounds over the last 20 years. I am 60 years old and would like to live with less pain from my arthritis (in both ankles and R knee) so that I can enjoy my grandchild and stay active into the later part of my life.
I want to win this to help my husband. He is in a very stressful job and a year ago he had lost 85 lbs and I had lost 50. Well, fast forward to we moved across the country and with the move came a lot of stress and a new job for him. I know he can lose the weight again, but he needs help and although I am here to support him and can go on juicing easily he struggles with the need of support from a man. He has put 50 lbs back on and is feeling like a loser again. We have talked about doing this program, but he just needs help. Originally when he had lost the 85lbs he said he never wanted to be over 300 lbs again, but he’s back over it and I don’t know what to do to save his health. I need help and I know he is willing if he can get some additional support. Recently the additional stressful work environment changed for him so I think he is ready to get going. Please help us! Thanks
Joe,
I forgot to add to my early post, that we watched your video a year ago and were on track. We have changed to organics, have a juicer, but he lacks the motivation he needs. My husbands blood pressure is back up, triglycerides are high, he is breaking out with a skin disease on his arms, face and scalp. Please help us!
I am a 34 yr old female-over weight-high blood pressure-eating habits are horrible-smoker-dont exercise-stress level on maximum overload-searching for a way to live the life I want and deserve. Reasons why-to live longer in a healthy way for my kids and partner-I have always wanted to be a police officer. A couple years ago I was very healthy and fit and applied for a job with a local department. I got very close to being hired and another applicant was selected at the very end of the process. This was very discouraging as it was a year long process. I have not given up on my dream but i have become unhealthy which makes me unable to complete alot of the steps in which i would need to complete. What I am doing to become a healthier me- I quit smoking 4 months ago – I have done a lot of research and have decided to reboot and start a exercise program. Why i would be a great candidate for your free guided reboot-I have my mind set and am going to do this no matter what but would love to have the support side of this journey as well-I would like the opportunity to share my story my struggles and my success with this great community. Thank you for considering me!
Cindy!!
I am planning on rebooting and will do so on my own. I see so many more people that could use the support more than myself. I was similar to Joe in that I worked on success and fun not caring about health. Now a first time Father at 50 I need to get my blood pressure under control and tackle gout with something other than the medicines that are given. So off I go to the Juice and I wish everyone luck. I am sure I will succeed as I did when I decided to quit smoking 12 years ago. Quit cold turkey one day as I always knew I would do. Smoking is never good, but as you get older and your bodies negative reaction grows to the smoking your body loses the ability to recover. So as much as a social habit as it was one day I quit. People ask me how I did that? I reply….I wanted too! You really have to want too. I want to juice and I am. Great Documentary and nice touch bringing others into the story and seeing them benefit. I’ve known for years this was the way to go, so why not do it sooner. I guess we all think we are going to live forever. NOT! Blood pressure was 170/105. OK cold medicine was playing a part in this, but still scary. Better to live as healthy as possible for as long possible then being miserable or a weight on your family.
My tears are dry now after watching your documentary, well done but more so great job on figuring out what worked for you. Great job on all the inspriration. I am a 45 year old woman who’s kids are out of the house, husband struggling to maintain work in today’s economy as a licensed Architect, and living in a new area where I know no-one. We’ve been through financial difficulties the past 2 years and are just now feeling like we might regain control of our lives again…HOWEVER… we have completely lost control of self responsibility. Stress erased our once healthy way of living. And I know the food I am putting in my mouth is bad but I am so driven by it that I can’t seem to stop. No longer working I have become less active/bored and food is my friend…no…enemy. I need HELP in getting myself and husband back to eating well, back to what nature intended. I am weak and lack the support needed to regain my strength. How can I meet others, help others and be a good example for our kids and grandchildren if I am unhealthy, overweight and lack self confidence? I am 5’8″ currently at 218 pounds, was once at 260, lost 64 of that by not eating processed foods. Without any health care is a scary place to be, you would think it would be enough to get me back on track…..but that damn processed food!! Thanks, with or without I will give it a go. I’ve never been good at meeting goals on my own, but I really do want to be strong, lean and healthy enough to do a long hike through by the time I am 50, if not sooner!
My daughter is homeschooled by her grandmother and one day she came across your movie and decided to watch it. She then shared the movie with me and her grandparents. She is 16 and was on steroids for years due to asthma, so she is obese. She has convinced myself, my boyfriend, my parents and my aunt all to try the juicing for 10 days. We hope it is a success.
I recently watched ‘Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead’ and I am inspired. Inspired to live longer for my son. I am going to try a ten day cleanse but I would love to have a guided reboot. Knowlege is power and if given the chance I would love to find out more on how to live a healthy life and pass my knowlege as well as healthy habits on to my son and my family.
Recently went to ER with stomach pain and was eventually diagnosed with ulcer and reflux – need to do something different!
I NEED HELP. Last year I took care of my friend of 45 years in her last days with metastised breast cancer. i’ve seen your movie before and i know i need to do something about my weight, especially the middle section. i have high cholesteral and have recently experiencing been experiencing chest pain & numbing. I don’t want to be on medication!!!!!! i’m only 51 and since my friend past i have been looking after her son and i’m afraid if something happens to me, it would be too much for him. It’s just so hard to get going even though i know better
I just finished watching “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” about 5 minutes ago. I’ve struggled with my weight all my life. I realize that it’s my own fault, but I’ve never found a substantial reason to change my lifestyle. The fear of the unknown was just overwhelming. I’ve watched my mother suffer 2 heart attacks and my dad suffer through Cancer. I’ll be 30 this year, about 100 pounds overweight and I am determined to make a significant change. Throughout my journey of self-improvement (which until now has been purely spiritual), I’ve learned that only 2 emotions exist: love and fear. Deeds that are performed out of love can only produce positive results. Those that are carried out from a place of fear are false and therefore invalid. I think this documentary is a labor of love and has one of the most powerful messages this country needs to hear. Enough is enough. I know deep down that my calling is to make a difference and end the cycle of disease in my family. There is no doubt in my mind that we are given the tools we need to do exactly when we need them. At this moment, nothing would make me happier than to have support in reaching my health goals. I know I have a lot to offer the world and this will help me do so. To do anything less would be irresponsible.
I have been on sick leave from work for the last 10 weeks because of foot surgery. I had a haglunds resection with an Achilles tendon repair Oct. 9th. When I was non weight bearing and in a cast I watched, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. I ordered a juicer and the book. My husband and I have been drinking juice along with eating meals for the last 8 weeks. I have not attempted a reboot yet, felt with healing from surgery I should wait.
I go back to work tomorrow. I am a cardiac rehab nurse and on my feet 10 hour days. I am 100 lbs. overweight. I have tried every diet out there without success. I am an active 55 year old, but the last few years my weight has been slowing me down. I feel I eat pretty good, lots of veggies, many meatless meals, but know I have issues with portion size. I was adopted and met my birth family a few years ago, my birth mom and both sisters are 300 + lbs. I am not using this as a excuse, but feel I understand now one of the reasons why this has been such a struggle for me.
Now that my feet are healing I really want to get back to my active lifestyle and know that taking off 100 lbs. would help me reach that goal. A guided reboot would be the perfect way to get me on my way.
Thank you for your story and continuing to be an inspiration to many of us.
I just finished watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. I have been diagnosed with morbid obesity and am at the threshold of diabetes. I can choose to either plan changes to LIVE the rest of my life or I can start planning my Funeral. I choose LIFE!
Hi Joe, I’m 57, 157.4 kgs big fat and ugly and with all the problems that go with it and them some, plus I’m a shift worker which makes dieting hard. Watched you movie thought it was inspiring, going to start reboot Boxing day ,many thanks…..Con

Hi Joe. I want the reboot because I am working to rebuild my mind and body after a successful fight with stage 3 breast cancer for the past 9 months. I am working to rebuild my strength, but it is difficult. I am 37 years old and I am much too young to feel this damn old. But, I am grateful each day for my life.
I have watched the movie, got my juicer, and have on and off tried juicing. I feel lost when looking on the website trying to find different juices to have. I wanted to buy your new book but it sold out before I could purchase it. I too have many health issues that have only been treated with drugs. Conventional medicine has made things worse. I hope with my success to inspire others in my family and my friends to get healthy. Thank you Joe for your movie as it has inspired me to get healthy. Good luck everyone.
Hi Joe I have watched your show and am inspired though fat sick and nearly dead. I have Fibro myalgia, soriatic athritis, blood pressure and overweight and need to do something desperately before I hit 60 in two years basically HELP!!!
I didn’t worry about getting big when I was a young soldier. I thought that my body would change as I got older, but I assumed that if I wasn’t overdoing it, I would be fine. I am 40 now. I was shocked when I passed the 200 pound mark. That was a year ago. I haven’t gotten on a scale in along time, but I suspect that I have hit 215. This summer I was in the hospital with asthma, a condition that worsens with obesity. I want my energy and well-being back. I am a high school teacher. I love my job, and I would really love to be a healthy inspiration to my students and my own wonderful daughters.
Hello Mr. Cross,
I am writing on behalf of my husband Hugo. I am so proud of him for deciding to watch your movie. He has always been a big guy and was always made fun of by his family for being big. I never try to push him because I know it’s a tough subject for him. He decided to watch our movie and was inspired by Phil! We got married a year ago and we are only in our late twenties but we have decided not to have children until we get healthy. It’s a little sad to think that we have to put our future on hold because of our health. Hugo has always enjoyed being the “fat funny guy” but I know deep inside it’s just a way for him to deal. He says he’s willing to start the 10 day reboot and we will be doing it together and we can’t wait. Im really excited about this new journey together and it would be amazing if he won the free guided reboot. Thank you!
Why do I want to Reboot? Because I need to save my own life. I’ve spent the last 25 day’s hospitalized after suffering three spontaneous pneumothorax’s (a collapsed lung) within two weeks twice in my right lung and once in my left lung, through the grace of God I was hospitalized for the initial event and the wonderful doctors on staff at Wayne Memorial Hospital in Goldsboro NC and Duke University Hospital in Durham NC were able to literally save my life during the second and third events. I have been diagnosed with Sarcoidosis and COPD for several years and at this point I feel if I don’t get my weight and Health under control I may not survive another medical emergency.
My husband and I watched the documentary a few weeks ago and purchased a juicer. He (45 y/o) and I (41 y/o) are in need of a life change. Our weight holds us back from having a family. After 8 years of trying to conceive, we have gone through multiple IUI’s, hormone injections, one IVF and 2 miscarriages. My most recent miscarriage was in July 2012. Our blood work came back “normal” and we’ve been diagnosed with “unknown infertility.” I have high blood pressure and high triglycerides.

After watching the Reboot program cure Joe of his medical conditions, we are eager and ready to lead a healthy and active life. We want to conceive naturally. I continually read and research for infertility “secrets” on the internet, but I know this is not going to get me to my dream. I know it’s time for us to commit to a healthy lifestyle. The rate of infertility is rising. One in 7 couples is infertile. We have been inspired by Joe and Phil. Our mothers are both diabetics.

Thank you Joe for taking the leap to change your life and inspire others to do the same.
My husband and I watched the documentary a few weeks ago and purchased a juicer. He (45 y/o) and I (41 y/o) are in need of a life change. Our weight holds us back from having a family. After 8 years of trying to conceive, we have gone through multiple IUI’s, hormone injections, one IVF and 2 miscarriages. My most recent miscarriage was in July 2012. Our blood work came back “normal” and we’ve been diagnosed with “unknown infertility.” I have high blood pressure and high triglycerides.

A reboot would give me the chance to enjoy my son’s childhood. I’m always too tired to even contemplate let alone bother playing with my 7 year old. I’ve had an Endobarrier put in but still lack energy to make the most of it. I bought myself a juicer for Christmas and will do it one way or another come beginning of 2013! Thanks Joe for persevering – your positive outlook has benefitted my mental position, now just realigning my physical position to match it.
Joe, I viewed your documentary this morning and was so moved by your and Phil’s journey to health. I am obese. I starting gaining weight at age 25 after a miscarriage and a bout with depression. I am now 42 and suffering form my years of poor choices and simply NOT caring. I have 2 children. My son is 20 and I was blessed with my my daughter 2 years ago. I was told I would never have children again, BUT they were wrong and she is here. Interesting enough, I have often told myself that I will NEVER lose this weight, I KNOW I am wrong too. On September 7 of 2012 I underwent the LAPBAND surgery to lose weight and as a seasoned eater have found ways to even cheat that success. I saw your documentary this morning and first thought, I will start this after Christmas, and immediately so NO! I will start it today. My main reason for wanting to REBOOT is to be me again, to be the mom I know I am inside, to be able to run and play with my little Ande, Another more recent reason, is, I have been mourning the loss of a loved one and to be more specific devastated in the manner which they died and when I viewed your documentary this morn, I said to myself, “You are the one killing yourself.” It’s true, with my choices, I am systematically killing myself. I mourned the loss of baby once and I CANNOT do that to my children. If I am not chosen for this contest, that is fine, I am starting TODAY!!!
I’m 57 years old, 6’1″ and at a blossoming 260 pounds. I’m on mulfitple medications for cholesterol, blood pressure and triglycerides. I have a family history of heart disease and cancer. I don’t sleep with my wife anymore, as my restlessness and snoring keep her awake. I’ve gain and lost weight so many times I can’t count anymore. Processed carbs seem to be my biggest weakness, as I can eat several days worth of carb intake at one sitting and not even realize I’ve done it. I’m just out of gas, and have no energy. I’ve noticed that my focus has deteriated at work, which has cost me financially and professionally. The other night, I was restless as usual, and as I got up to go to the bathroom I thought I heard my wife crying in her bedroom. I quietly walked up to her door, only to discover she was crying, and praying for me…asking the Lord not to take me because she couldn’t bear the loneliness. She was praying for me to be healed. It broke my heart Joe….
I want to Reboot because I want the opportunity (although probably very slim) to meet Joe Cross! I think he is charming, funny, inspiring and handsome!
All the above is true; however, another main motivator for doing the Reboot would be to inspire my parents to do it. They are getting older and experiencing some health problems. I would love to show them that juicing can help alleviate some of those problems rather than medications, medical procedures, etc.
Thanks for your consideration!

Why reboot? Plain and simple – I’m sick of feeling sick!
I am a 33 year old Native American woman and I weigh about 300 lbs. I have type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, blood pressure, and a fatty liver. I take two types of insulin and about seven pills everyday to control all my health issues. I have lost a parent to congested heart failure and a sibling to cirrhosis of the liver due to weight, diabetes, it had nothing to do with alcohol. I am currently in a great relationship and plan to be married soon. I desperately want to be healthier so that I can reverse my health issues, especially the diabetes and be healthy enough to have children. My boyfriend introduced me to the “Fat, sick and Nearly Dead” video after months I finally watched it reluctantly and am now inspired to give it a shot. We plan on started after New Year’s. I want to do the ten day reboot first but we are worried about expenses for produce. We live in Alaska and it is expensive up here for fresh produce. My boyfriend used to weigh over 400 lbs before I met him. He is now about 315 but is stagnant. We both want to be healthier people so we can live longer healthier happier lives. This would be a great opportunity for us.
Forgot to mention that I have sleep apnea as well. Everyone in my family is diabetic has sleep apnea and fatty livers. I know that some of it is genetic but we have all struggled with our health. This reboot would give me a strong start to changing my poor eating habits. I am almost positive my boyfriend has sleep apnea as well. He lost all of his weight by exercising mainly due to a job moving furniture but we need to change our eating habits. Being this young and having this many complications with my health has been very scary. I do not want to follow in my dad and brother’s foot steps health wise. Bother of them suffered immensely due to their health issues. I need to turn this around and be a better example to the younger generations in my family so that they also have hope and do not have to settle with these health issues. Thank you for your consideration.
I am trying to restore my eyesight. I have a cataract in my left eye. I am 65 years old. I am also praying to God to heal my eyesight. I’d rather not use the expensive conventional medicine if I can avoid it. Also I am overweight (maybe 30 pounds) and when I was involved in an auto accident a year ago they told me my blood pressure was extremely high. Also, I’m trying to break my addiction to food. I am on day 8 of a forty day juice fast, to be followed by a seven month raw food regimen. I feel better already, some days much better with a couple days of low energy. Thanks for your inspiring video!
i could list my medical conditions etc
im over weight unhealthy
i dont know where to start
i need help its as simple as that
please help
My chiropractor recommended I watch “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” several months ago. After dealing with piroformus syndrome (very painful) and sciatica along with depression, headaches…and the dreaded weight issue I have carried on my 5’1″ frame for too many years (176 lbs)… I felt the Reboot may be the answer. I just had a full physical and blood work done which may make me a good candidate for your free offer. I am ready to get weight off, clarity/focus, and an overall sense of well-being back into my life. I even hope this will help my daughter (23 years old) want to get the weight off as well. I loss my older sister because of obesity (48 yrs old at 350 lbs – heart failure- leaving her 12 year son who I raised). My family has a medical history of high blood pressure, colon cancer, and enlarged hearts. I am ready to change that story for my life and my children. Thank you for your consideration! Your story gave me hope!
I JUST DONT WANT TO DIE BEFORE MY TIME!! WOULD LIKE TO SEE MY GRANDSON GROW UP!!!!
I want to reboot so that I can start on a path to a healthier lifestyle and make better food choices. I will receive a boost in my confidence and my clothes begin to fit much better and I will feel amazing. I also want to be an inspiration to my family, in order for them to take on a healthier lifestyle. My family has a history of diabetes, cancer and heart problems. I will have a much better quality of life! Thanks for the inspiration and the opportunity Joe!
After reading all of the posting, its truly amazing how many people are seeking help to reboot their lives. I am a 62 year old diabetic that loves life, and would truly enjoy convincing myself and my doctor that ‘diabetes can be reversed’. Your journey was wonderful, your getting off medication was even better! I want to get off these pills and smile all the way to the trash can as I dump them! Then I can help other diabetics reverse their disease the rebooting way! Thank you
Since watching, “fat, sick, and nearly dead”, the question of, “why couldn’t the body heal itself on the inside” he really had me thinking. I am a 35 year old woman who is horribly overweight. Also, I have done over 150 electro convulsive treatments (ECT) in the last 3 years to treat my depression. It hasn’t worked as well as I hoped, but it did leave my memory nearly nonexistent. It’s horrible. The meds don’t help either. I am on SSDI at 35 because I am unable to work from the ECT. I only have $200 a month for groceries and I really want to try this and see if there is another answer to my depression. Thank you for reading this. -Jenn
I have struggled with my weight and food issues all my life. As a child my nickname was “wide load.” I’m a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. I was bulimic for over a decade. I also have bipolar disorder. The medications I have to take to keep myself sane have terrible side effects: raise blood sugar and cholesterol, weight gain, interference with numerous metabolic pathways. I’ve just gotten to the point where I can’t stand to look at myself in the mirror anymore. I’m embarrassed to be seen out in public. Since my bipolar diagnosis in 2006, I have unsuccessfully tried many diets to lose weight. My medications have definitely affected my metabolism. I feel like a zombie every day. I have no energy. I feel a reboot would help me regain my self-esteem and improve my mental health.
I really need to get started!! I have read and even tried before on the healthy plans but fall after a bit. I am single and easy to fall off with no accountability! I need to do it for my health. I want to change while I have the chance and not be forced into it with a health crisis!! I am female–54 and size 22. Would really love the opportunity to change permanently! Thank you for this opportunity to try to win.
I watched the Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead documentary today and I was very surprised by the results shown. I want to try this to lose the extra weight I have accumulated over the years. My target is to lose about 20 pounds. My husband had a bout of the same disease that was shown in the documentary and with a cleanse, he was able to reduce it. He has about 30-40 pounds to lose, and i would really like to use this cleanse to jump-start that process. Thanks.
Joe I want to do the Rebot, one because I’ve been struggling with losing weight, two because I have had hives for over three years now and after seeing your story, the Rebot just might do the trick.
Hello Joe, I would like to reboot so I can better enjoy life. My mom was on dialysis for about 6 years then miraculously received a kidney transplant. The reason was bad dietary habits, now I want to change my habits and loose weight. I was nearly 300LB at one point and now I am at 190LB still needing to loose a good 20-30LB. I then want to share this with other. Please consider me, thanks.
I would like to do the Reboot because I’m finding that my progressing age (49 and a half), the 30+ pounds I have put on in the last 8 years since our move to Arizona, my bi-weekly/ monthly migraines, my insomnia, my procrastination to exercise, my rapid breathing at the top of the stairs (one floor), and my otherwise unhealthy (lacking in fruits and vegetables) diet have taken this one time active Island girl to wonder “where I have gone?” and “why I have lost my aspirations and motivation?” I feel like I’m on a watershed, looking at a mirror with a more than a tad of disgust, disappointed though still in denial, looking behind and wondering if there is any turning back or if it’s just time to accept the fact that “time is marching on” and it’s all unhappy aging from here. A friend told me about juicing and the film this summer and my chiropractor later suggested juicing and wrote the name of the same film down for me: Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. It makes sense, after watching the film tonight, that I might be able to try to figure out how to drop the old habits and begin new ones with a clean slate, then move on forward. Sigh. ‘Twould be nice. Hopelessness has a way of convincing us that the remote would be a better friend, and that having an iced caramel macchiato is more worthy than caring for ourselves by putting our sneakers on and getting moving outside. Fortunately, my 4 kids (11-19) are very healthy, I don’t buy a lot of junk for the home, my husband has started taking care of himself (P90X for 5 months) and wants to add a juice drink every day. He even wrote a reality show he is trying to pitch regarding healthy baby-boomers. Seven years ago, I had high triglycerides, high LDL, and low HDL… haven’t checked it out for several years. I haven’t been one to “do diets”, or be on that see-saw. I think the Reboot would be a good choice, and would likely cause me to reboot my mind and perspective as well. Whomever you choose for the Reboot, I’ll try to do some thing amazing with juicing! Blessings, Pam
Since watching “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” yesterday and the day before that “Hungry for Change:, it brought in to perspective a lot of things that I do. I am only 22 and over 350lbs and I have been struggling with being over weight for as long as I could remember. I’m slowly starting to notice the pains in my feet and knees and my struggle to breath.Even issues with my menstrual cycle…I’m scared I will never have kids. I barely sleep and being in college does not make it better. I never have time to really have actual good food and when I do its bad dining hall food. It would be great to start this program now as I am graduating in May and to be on a healthier path by the time I graduate would be wonderful. It would be wonderful to earn this opportunity!! I have struggle with countless attempts to lose weight. I’m afraid that one day I will have a heart attack and get really sick one day. I don’t want that. It would be a privilege to receive the support and guidance of Reboot specialist and nutritionist. If I could afford this program between tuition and helping my family I would purchase it but I can’t. Please make this opportunity a reality.
I am desperate to change my life and my eating habits! I have been plagued with an eating disorder since I was a child and am terrified that I am passing my habits on to my 8 year old son, I have tried EVERYTHING but nothing seems to stick. I would be eternally grateful to win the guided reboot, thank you for your inspiration Joe!!!
I want to reboot because I have gained about 100 pounds in 5 years due to stress. I have experienced the deaths of a lot of people close to me this year, which caused severe migraines to surface. I refuse to live like this! I have no other health challenges and I will not! I NEED THIS!!!
I would greatly apreciate help to lose weight I’ve gained after successfully quiting smoking after 23yrs, and to learn how to live more healthily and look after myself better. I’d like to be a role model to healthy living for my children, family,friends and community.
I ment to add to my earlier post that i’d like to win the 5 day guided reboot please, thankyou.
My cousin mentioned the movie on the way home from hockey the other night, and his interest in possibly juicing. I went home and immediately found the jersey. After watching “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” I am ready to juice. I ordered a juicer and should have it Saturday! I have been overweight all my life. I have tried diets and exercise but never seem to stick with them. I am the heaviest player on my hockey team, and probably the slowest in our league. Our team is winning, and will most likely be moved up next year. There is no way I will be able to keep up. I want to do the 60 day juice fast, but I have never stuck with anything substantial for longer than a few weeks. Help me save my life, and save others! I am feeling passionate talking with coworkers about starting it, but I want to make sure I succeed this time. I feel worse every day and my life depends on it. I want to kick this terrible feeling and all of these medications for good!
Just starting the be boot lifestyle and doing well, but need the extra support that guided would give.
After hearing about juicing I found FSND on netflix earlier this week. I was truly amazed by the transformations. I told myself “I can do that” because, although I eat out most of the time, I love fruits and vegetables! I admit I’ve been lazy about eating healthy and had silently commited myself to eating convinient foods. And feel terrible everytime that I finish them. One of the things that intrigued me the most was energy Joe had during the process. It saddens me at times that as young as I am, I am not able to keep up with my children. Even worst I was recently diagnosed with asthma and had the worst asthma attack ever. It was in the hospital that I decided that the old me has to GO! I am looking forward to juicing at the start of the new year. I definitely need to reboot my life!
I watched “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead”, two days ago because my son said he wanted my opinion. It was a real eye opener. It gave me hope that maybe I could get better too. At age 28, I was in a really bad car accident, caused major fatigue and a lot of memory, decision making and focusing issues. Then, I was diagnosed with MS nine years ago and chose not to follow the typical treatment. It helped me to continue working but since I began going through menopause, about 2 years ago, my fatigue level has increased so much that I began considering whether I should quit my job. I sleep in my car almost every workday on my lunch-break and I have to rest for at least an hour when I get home just so I can be social with my family for 1/2 an hour. I’ve tried using diet to improve my situation but it doesn’t seem to help. All of my adult children suffer from depression, anxiety and other physical problems and my 3 year old granddaughter has juvenile arthritis. My son, at age 24, who has asthma, depression, anxiety and said he basically feels sick all of the time, has challenged me to do the juice fast with him but I have no idea where or how to start.I just want to be as well as I can, be able to live a more normal life and help others to do the same. Regardless of your decision, I want to thank you for the opportunity to sign up. I think it’s great what you’re doing.
I want to be healthier and feel better about my self on the new year
I am a 34 year old mom, I have 3 little boys and I weigh 300 pounds my husband in 35 years old and weighs 310. We both have significant risk factors like diabetes and cardiac disease. My husband recently had a angiogram no stents for chest pain but found out he has multiple blood clots in his leg. Our oldest son is four and autistic. We switched his diet and have seen improvement. So it makes sense to me what we feed our body can help prevent and change our lives.I have seen your movie fat sick and nearly dead and realized I need to make a change for myself. I want to live and be the type of mother my boys deserve, 1 with energy and 1 that can play with them.I want to inspire them to live a healthier lifestyle. To put it simply I just want to be able to live.
I am 20 yrs old, 5’9″, and weigh 250 lbs; the heaviest I have ever been in my life and my bmi is on the verge of morbid obesity. I saw Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead on Netflix last weekend and I have been researching juicers and rebooting ever since. I want a better, healthier lifestyle and I definitely feel this is the way to go. Now I know how badly I need the reboot, but I have concerns for my 57 yr old mother Nancy. She is the mother of 6 (I am her youngest), and she has seven grandchildren in which four of them she is raising. She is around 5’5″ and she is around 240lbs. I worry everyday for her health and feel partly responsible because she was a tiny girl throughout her youth and into her marriage. She eventually put on all those pounds after she had all her kids and never got the chance to lose the baby weight because she went back to work and my father worked too. We resorted to fast food and processed food for dinner because it was most convenient and cheapest way to go when you have so many kids. My mother has been selfless her whole life and I think she deserves to reboot her life because she does everything for everyone else in our family and never puts herself first. I am still young and I want her around when it comes time for me to be married and have kids, but I am terrified that with the way that we both live she won’t be around for those years. I want my mother to get the chance at this reboot so it can change her life and give her the fresh start she needs. I appreciate the consideration and I want to say that the documentary by Joe Cross was a big inspiration and it is going to change many lives around the world, mine and hopefully my mothers included. Thanks again!
