Noel Tardy is a highly motivated individual who is always concerned with improving the quality of life for herself and her clients.

A true entrepreneur, she juggles her talents as a Debt Free & Prosperous Living ™ Seminar Leader/bookkeeper, massage therapist and caterer. Her true passion is cooking – teaching cooking, writing about food and enjoying it.

At one time she even trained with food guru Martha Stewart who she describes as "a creative genius, awe-inspiring perfectionist, yet a real person".

Noel has had a lifelong battle with weight management and her passion as a food professional, until now, only hindered the problem. Unfortunately, a few years ago, she was forced to give up a very successful career as a massage therapist due to a hand injury. As she shifted her career focus to debt management and bookkeeping, her lifestyle became more sedentary and she began to gain weight.

But she explains the ultimate crossroad in her life came this spring when she weighed in at her highest ever maximum weight. "The recent end of a long term relationship left me feeling depressed, fat and ugly. I had no energy and my self-esteem and confidence were at an all-time low. I knew I had to do something but I had no motivation or ideas" she revealed.

Dear TLC,

I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am to have had the good fortune of discovering the Total Living Concepts Eating Program!! ...As a Physical Education teacher (before becoming a Mother), and an avid promoter of exercise, I’ve always prided myself on knowing how to eat properly, how to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and how to control my weight. This, of course, didn’t mean that it was always easy. In fact, I’ve been struggling with being overfat all my life.

By the time I was 18, I had learned almost every fad diet there was, and the yo-yo syndrome on my metabolism had begun. Fortunately, I was blessed with some athletic ability; and my involvement in competitive swimming and gymnastics led me to continue in the Physical and Health Education field at University. By learning more about how our bodies function, I know that lots of exercise with a relatively balanced diet was the only way to live. This took discipline, and also included deprivation of food. What I didn’t realize is that I wasn’t consuming enough calories in a day to provide all the nutrients that my body needed. Also, before TLC, I believed I had reached my ideal weight, and the I would just have to live with my "chunky" legs.

I was absolutely thrilled when, after 3 or 4 weeks on your program, I had lost two inches from my hips and two inches from my legs. That was a breakthrough for me! And not only that, at age 40, I feel better, lighter, healthier, and more energetic than I ever felt at age 20. In fact, most days I’m euphoric! I want to shout about this from the roof tops, because this program is REAL. It has real foods. It’s not a diet. It’s safe and it’s easy. In a world full of big business, quick fixes, diet potions, and expensive gimmicks, finally there is Joseph Perry whose incredible wealth of knowledge in geriatrics; high standards; integrity; and most of all, beautiful gift of sharing is giving people a way to be healthy, not only in body, but in mind and spirit!!

Thank you so much!,

Cholesterol - Fat Loss

Dear TLC,

Here’s an update on my progress since my original letter submitted in April. I have lost 55 lbs. of fat since February 6, the day I first heard about the program. In addition, my cholesterol level is down to 157 from 257 in July. My triglyceride level is 85, down from 325. I have a few more inches to lose, but essentially, what you have here is the new model and I feel terrific!

I am having fun teaching others to do what I have done. After hearing the program explained, one of my clients commented, "My brother-in-law has a Ph.D. in preventive medicine. He has been telling me to eat this way for 15 years, but he never had a program to help me do it." Another client ordered a two months supply "before they find out how good this stuff is and take it off the market." Another one said, "I’ve never felt this good in my life! Is this stuff really legal?"

Sharon and I really enjoy knowing we’ve been able to help people look and feel better, and get started on the path to a lifetime of better health. It is a great feeling to be involved in an enterprise which is so significant to so many people. After all, what more can you do for someone than to give them another chance to redeem their health?

Thank you for envisioning such a wonderful company and product, and for your own high standards of ethics and character. It is a real pleasure working with you.

Energy

Dear TLC,

As the mother of three young children, and the wife of a full time student, my life is very hectic, with lots of demands every minute of the day! I was interested in anything that would give me more energy—something I never had enough of! I was constantly running out of steam throughout the day! That didn’t just put a toll on me, but my whole family as well!

I’ve always been "nutrition conscious" and not given to fads that come and go. If anything, I’m skeptical! What attracted me to the Total Living Concepts program was its sensibility and overall good nutrition/health concept. I have low blood sugar and was especially interested in Formula One Food Concentrate to see if it could really help stabilize those highs and lows! I noticed a difference the very first week of using it! I couldn’t believe how bad it had been until I started feeling so much better! I had more stamina throughout the day. Also, because I wasn’t so tired and on edge, I was less short with the kids. I felt more on top of things. Also, after the kids went to bed, I actually had some energy and motivation left for myself! This was an emotional boost.

It’s been 4 1/2 weeks now, and I see several gradual changes besides the stabilizing of the blood sugar levels. My concept of food as fuel—not just satisfying a hunger. My sweet intake is way down and I’m having much more success controlling those cravings. I just don’t have the cravings as much. I’m also reading labels and know our fat consumption is greatly decreased. I’m starting to see the benefit of that now too, losing some inches around my middle and my legs!

The program hasn’t been just for me, but the whole family too. Our snacks are better. The kids last through those stressful late afternoon hours better.

This program is one I will follow for years to come! I’m convinced it’s superior nutrition. I feel better and look better. As far as preventive medicine is concerned, this program tops the list in staying healthy!

Fat Loss

Dear Joe,

You name a diet and I could give you all the intimate details about it. You see I had tried almost all of them. Losing weight was easy—I had lost hundreds of pounds.

I was a fat lady who hated to exercise. AND I earned my living teaching others how to use the power of their mind to lose weight. My therapist introduced me to your program. Now, I’m a lady in the process of becoming physically fit and healthy. Now, I work with a personal trainer who has devised a one and a half hour workout that I actually DO five to six times a week. Your program gave me the energy to accomplish this. Now, I teach others how to use the power of their minds to work with their bodies to become physically fit and healthy.

TLC’s program is my vehicle to eating peacefully. I eat six times a day. That feels natural to me. I eat real food and I eat whatever anyone else eats without guilt. Sure, I fall off the wagon, BUT now I climb back on again. That, in itself, is success for me.

May patients call TLC’s system the "Feel Good Diet." For the first time in eleven years of practice , a number of my patients are asking for exercise programs. May patients tell me they are full, they eat what they want and they are satisfied. They report lots of energy and feeling good.

Your program has given me and my patients and opportunity to be fit and healthy for as long as we choose.

Fat Loss

Dear Joe,

When my normally healthy sixty-year-old mother was told she had high blood pressure due to her weight, I began to find out more about your program from a co-worker.

My mom decided she would give TLC a try and within a few short weeks she not only lowered her blood pressure, but she looked and felt better. To date she has lost over 30 pounds and several inches of fat from your program.

When I saw the results, and the energy my mom now had I decided to try the program myself.

In only eight weeks I lost 12 inches of fat and had more energy to handle my full time job, attend college part time, and run a household for myself and my husband.

Your "eating program" is unlike any diet I have ever tried. It not only lets you eat all day long but you are eating real food.

Thanks, Joe, for your dedication and determination to make this program a reality for people like me.

Improved Health

TLC’s eating program and the 100% concentrated aloe vera juice have allowed me to lose the unhealthy pounds that were beginning to ruin my health. At my last doctor visit, I was told that my weight had caused me to develop an enlarged heart, a heart murmur and breathing problems. I had originally gone to the doctor to get my weight under control and this was more than I was expecting to hear. I know that I was overweight, but I did not realize how serious it was. My mother passed away at the tender age of 48 at the hands of the same disease I was developing. I had the rest of my life to enjoy, so I decided to take control of my life.

Every day I thank God for TLC and my nutritionist—two lifesavers at a crucial point in my life. TLC has given me the energy I need to exercise. A couple of months ago, I could not have climbed a flight of stairs without breathing uneasily. Now, I can climb 15 flights of stairs with no problems! I have lost a total of 32 pounds and I feel like a million bucks! Thanks to your program, I can continue feeling this way for the rest of my life.

Improved Health

Dear TLC,

"Eating to live, not living to eat!" This has been my desire for many years, considering how much valuable time is consumed planning, cooking, and eating the usual three meals a day, every day of our lives. And, for me, due to low blood sugar levels, additional meals or snacks have been necessary. My friends chuckle and say, "Stay near Sharon because she always carries food with her!" Picnics are great, but every day?!

I am a Registered Nurse, specializing in Cardiovascular Intensive Care. But, as a wife and mother, I have chosen not to work full time. I have been considering re-entering my profession when our son is in high school. I have always had a keen interest in nutrition for personal and family health reasons as well as to educate patients to improve their own recovery, health, and lifestyle.

My husband and I attended a series of four TLC classes in a friend’s home, hoping to learn how to shed some tenacious pounds and improve our nutrition and health on a permanent basis. This system is the best I have ever seen truthwise, quality wise, and medically.

After watching our "fat inches" disappear, our teenage son is asking to participate in the system to increase his energy level and be aware of selecting high quality foods when he gets those "ravenous teenage" attacks. As parents who have survived the downturn in the economy but still have a college education to save for, we are now taking extra training to set up our own TLC business. Friends who ask for help are more likely to be motivated toward action and success through the facts leaned in the educational classes we will conduct than through isolated "advice" from us on the side.

I am excited about enhancing our immune systems and using my nursing background in a more positive preventive medical approach. I’ve learned that 5-6 small meals a day truly are better than 3 big ones, and now I plan a better quality nutrition for those daily "picnics"!

Thank you, Lord, and thank you TLC!

Dear Joe,

As you know, my background is in fitness and nutrition with a Bachelor of Science in adult Corporate Fitness from Abilene Christian University. I was skeptical at first of your program, so I decided to give it a try for 30 days to see if it worked for myself and my clients. I was amazed with the results in just that short time period.

Working 12-hour days as a personal trainer, my energy level was constantly low. Almost at once, I felt an increase in energy on starting the Program. I also lost 10 pounds of body fat within the 30-day trial.

Soon after having these positive results, I became pregnant. There is a history of the women in my family gaining 40 to 50 pounds during pregnancy. During my pregnancy I gained only 23 pounds, and left the hospital with 18 of those pounds gone. I was amazed to be at my original weight within six weeks after having Clinton!

My mother-in-law, Carmen, also had a miraculous success. Just before Christmas, she had her blood work done and found that her triglycerides were over 700 and her cholesterol was over 300. Carmen started on the program January 2nd and three weeks later had her blood work done again. Both her triglycerides and cholesterol had dropped dramatically to the 220 range! You can imagine what wonderful news this was to her and to our family. She was also happy to lose 20 pounds of body fat in eight weeks.

With these successful results, I am a firm believer in the Total Living Concepts Program and food concentrates. Thank you for all of your support.

Dear Joe,

I want to thank you for your program. This plan has made our job at our medical centers so much easier! It has saved us a significant amount of time and money over the last year. In fact, we were able to open our newest center with one less nutritionist because your System is so easy to administer.

We have also seen a dramatic increase in our patients’ success relating to fat loss and improved overall health. The plan is so easy for them to follow. It’s refreshing to not have to count calories, fat grams, weigh foods or keep a food diary. The doctor says he can always tell when a patient has been following the program because he sees such good results on the follow-up visits.

Last, but not least, I am seeing my patients developing a good foundation for a lifelong eating plan. They are learning about better nutrition and improving their eating habits. This is critical for long-term success.

Thank you again for a wonderful program.

Barbara S.

Dear Joe,

How does one say thank you for one’s health? I’m not sure, but I’m going to try.

A little background is in order. I was apparently born with, or contracted in infancy, an auto-immune disease. Put very simply, my immune system does not recognize my hormone system as friendly, but instead considers it the enemy. Of course, no one recognized that, or knew that could happen, 57 years ago and probably wouldn’t recognize it today. Recognition comes from the symptoms, and then not easily.

The first organ to go was the thyroid. By age 17 my weight had ballooned to 170 (I’m 5’ 1" tall), all periods had stopped even though they started at age 10. I was put on 3 grains of thyroid which fluctuates when the immune system gets out of sorts again, so I have to stay slightly hypothyroid to keep it under control. The thyroid disease produces very dry, rough skin, cracking and bleeding of the extremities in cold weather and hair loss, which can even go into baldness (which I have experienced at times) and a weight problem.

At age 30 I became an asthmatic and spent several years just trying to function while either not being able to breath or out in "lala land" because of the medications being given.

I was a severe hypoglycemic from my teen age years, when most doctors didn’t even acknowledge hypoglycemia existed. That brought on the next problem. At age 38 I became a very brittle (hard to control) Type I diabetic. It was a downward spiral I couldn’t stop. It was a doctor in Texas who finally recognized the problem and helped me to gain some control.

Seven years ago my husband and I went into our own business. The stress, the long hours and the struggle to maintain a healthy eating schedule put a strain on my health that finally came to a head early in 1994. I had gained 50 lbs. in the six years in business, in spite of everything I tried (including 45 minutes a day exercise, cutting calories and fat, etc.) Nothing worked. Then in January, 1994 I came down with an upper respiratory illness I could not beat. I could not work, I was down all the time and constantly on antibiotics. Five months later my whole system went into rebellion. I had been on antibiotics for 62 days out of 5 months, would get a little better and then come down with it again less than a week after finishing the medicine. I was having constant diarrhea and feeling like I was at the end of my life. That’s when you and Total Living Concepts came into my life, through a series of circumstances unplanned by me.

At first, I was very skeptical, having been sold a bill of goods many times about "answers" to my problems. I started using the Formula I powder, very erratically, but using it. I also started feeling a little better. So, I bit the bullet and went on the program. The very first benefit I experienced was that I began to feel better and better. I also began to lose weight and inches, which to me is a miracle, having really tried for six years to stop the weight gain, let alone lose anything, and failed miserably.

Today I feel wonderful, full of life and energy. The weight is coming off very slowly, but it’s the other benefits that delight me (and my family) even more. I have CUT MY INSULIN DOSAGE 30 TO 40 PERCENT and my blood sugar is under better control than it has ever been in the almost 19 years since the onset of diabetes, my skin has improved noticeably, my hair and scalp are in better condition than they have been in 20 plus years, I have lost 22 lbs. and many inches: 6 inches off my waist, 4 1/2 inches off my hips, 4 inches off my thighs, 2 inches off my upper arms and 2+ dress sizes. I have been on the program now for over six months and have not had even a minor illness since December, 1994. In fact, in March this year, everyone in our office, including my husband who never gets sick, came down with an upper respiratory illness that lasted about six weeks for each of them. Guess who filled in for all the sick people and NEVER came down with it. You guessed it! It was me and I fully believe that your program is the reason. My husband even has a power shake once in a while. He doesn’t want me to get ahead of him! In July we are planning a six weeks motorcycle trip to Colorado, Montana, Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona and New Mexico. How’s that for a 56 year old Grandmother who could hardly get out of bed a year ago!

Thank you for caring enough to send me that first can of Formula I powder (at no cost to me). And thank you for being real in a world of big claims and no results. I consider you and Sandy real friends and God’s blessing in my life.
