Some time ago, my wife took a skincare course that included a consultation with a dermatologist.
She liked that the doctor didn’t just prescribe creams and masks but took a comprehensive approach to solving the problem. Based on lab tests, the goal was to identify and eliminate the root cause of the skin issue. Later, we found out that Anna — a well-educated doctor with extensive practice and a deep understanding of nutrition — had been behind it all. It turned out to be my lucky ticket.
At 39, despite trying to stay active and getting close to 100 kg, I was constantly tired, apathetic, and anemic. When I told my doctor, he said, “You’re 39, not a kid anymore — it won’t get better” and didn’t recommend any additional tests or treatment. I was frustrated and lost hope. When I turned 40, my wife remembered Dr. Anna Shanina and recommended that I reach out to her. I followed her advice since I had almost completely lost faith in insurance-based medicine.
Dr. Shanina turned out to be a kind, responsive professional. She asked for blood test results and scheduled an online consultation. A few days later, during the session, she clearly explained my condition, potential causes, and gave specific recommendations on diet, exercise, and lifestyle. She also prescribed three over-the-counter medications.
Long story short, compare my “before and after” photos. In mid-March 2024, I started following her guidance. At the time, I weighed about 90–91 kg. As of early August, I weigh 79 kg and feel great. This only required a bit of discipline and willpower. I’m confident that weight loss isn’t random — I’ve proven to myself that I can do it. After returning from a trip (with a bit of indulging), I now weigh 80 kg again.
