At 40, Kamila was fighting a battle on multiple fronts: PCOS, long-term weight gain, major hair loss, and the heavy emotional toll of fertility challenges.
Fast forward 10 months on a natural, needle-free routine with Elcella, and Kamila is 23kg lighter, dropping almost 3 clothes sizes.
But the real victory goes far beyond the scale. With her hair loss improving, her periods returning, and renewed hope as she starts IVF, Kamila sums up her transformation simply: "It saved my life."
Deciding Her Way Forward
When considering her options for weight loss, managing food noise, and improving gut health, Kamila was clear about one thing: she did not want to use injectables.
Because she felt those treatments "don't fix the problem", she sought out a natural, needle-free approach to sustainable weight loss instead.
To achieve this, she established a consistent routine, taking Elcella at 9am and 3pm alongside a balanced eating schedule.
The First Few Weeks: Waiting for Something to Happen
Like many people starting a new health routine, the first signs of progress can be subtle. Kamila, however, didn't have to wait long to experience a difference. Without being glued to the scale, she noticed her "clothes fitting more loosely” just one month in.
Instead of battling constant urges, her relationship with food naturally evolved. She noticed her portions becoming significantly smaller as she began making healthier choices.
While she still experiences the occasional craving, she notes they quickly resolve, allowing her to "feel in control and able to manage them."
The Salty Snack Rejection
One of the most profound behavioural shifts happened around snacking. Kamila admits she "used to be a snacker, especially salty foods (e.g. crisps)."
Now, she is simply "disinterested." Instead, her palate has noticeably shifted toward more nourishing options as she "prefers fruit for a small snack." This change even extended to other food groups; she "was never interested in dairy but now I like cottage cheese and crave vegetables".
Because the constant mental hum of thinking about food has vanished and the feeling of 'deep' hunger is gone, she has the freedom to simply live her life rather than constantly planning her next snack.
Weight Loss & Beyond
Perhaps the most encouraging part of Kamila’s story is that weight loss became a natural, effortless by-product of her changing habits. Over the past ten months, she has lost an incredible 23kg at a pace that feels exactly right - steady, sustainable, and free from the restrictive dieting she wanted to avoid.
Alongside the weight loss, her physical comfort improved drastically. Her gut health saw remarkable changes, with bowel movements regulating daily rather than once a week, leaving her no longer feeling bloated or heavy.
Even her nights have transformed; her sleep quality improved simply because she no longer needs to get up several times in the night to use the toilet.
The Unexpected Changes Others Noticed
As the months passed, the outward changes became just as apparent as the internal ones. Dealing with major hair loss, including two noticeable bald patches, had previously taken a heavy toll on her. However, by seven months in, those patches were far less apparent.
Her new glow has clearly shone through, leading to moments where she has even been complimented on her skin by the plumber!
This external transformation mirrors a bright internal shift. She now enjoys "increased confidence " and "I don't feel I have to hide myself." Coupled with an improved body image, she has experienced a noticeable lift in her mood, sharing that she no longer "feel[s] down 24/7."
Consistency Compounds: Hormones, Hair, and Hope
Perhaps the most crucial non-scale victory in Kamila's journey has been her reproductive health. With a history of PCOS and irregular period cycles, she saw "periods coming back" with regularity around five months into her Elcella journey.
This milestone has set the stage for an exciting new chapter, giving her renewed hope for IVF treatment.
Looking back at her timeline, true transformation requires patience: her hair regrowth took 7 months to become meaningful, and her 23kg weight loss was achieved over a full 10 months. Staying consistent and trusting the process yields life-changing, long-term results.
Kamila’s Final Reflection
Today, Kamila’s life looks radically different than it did last May. Her final reflection is both powerful and succinct. She describes Elcella as having "changed [her] life for the better”.
The changes have truly gone far beyond the scale. By addressing her health from the inside out with a natural, needle-free approach, Kamila hasn't just lost weight - she has reclaimed her confidence, her wellbeing, and her future.
