70-Year-Old Reverses Diabetes and Loses 113 Pounds Using Only Her Mind

    The doctors said Amanda Pearson would need insulin for the rest of her life.

    Her blood sugar was bouncing between 17-20 – dangerously high levels that put her at risk for heart attack, stroke, and organ damage.

    At 69 years old and over 300 pounds, Amanda had tried everything. Exercise programs that didn’t work. Diet plans that made her heavier. Medical treatments that only managed symptoms.

    Then she discovered something that changed everything: her mind.

    Using nothing but visualization and mental techniques, Amanda lost 113 pounds in six months and reversed her diabetes completely.

    Her doctors couldn’t believe it.

    Her blood sugar dropped from a life-threatening 17-19 down to a healthy 5-7.

    At 70, she’s in the best health of her life.

    “They Say I Still Have Diabetes, But I Don’t Think I Do”

    Amanda’s transformation began when she saw Jon Gabriel on television in 2005.

    “Something clicked,” she says. “It was like ‘This is your answer.’”

    She immediately called to get his book, but it wasn’t finished yet. For two years, Amanda called every six months asking when it would be ready.

    When Jon finally sent her the book in 2007, Amanda was ready. At over 300 pounds with severe Type 2 diabetes, she had nothing left to lose.

    “After reading the book and listening to the CD, I just felt ‘this is right,’ and I started losing weight.”

    The Mind-Body Diabetes Connection

    Most people think diabetes is purely physical – a problem with blood sugar and insulin.

    But Amanda’s story reveals something doctors rarely discuss: the powerful connection between your mind and your body’s ability to heal itself.

    Amanda used Jon’s visualization techniques every single night:

    “I cut out a picture of a young girl with a beautiful figure and put it next to my bed. I listen to the CD, look at the picture, turn the light out, and go to sleep. I won’t go to bed without playing the CD.”

    While she slept, her subconscious mind was reprogramming her body’s relationship with food, stress, and healing.

    The Miraculous Physical Changes

    The results were beyond what anyone expected:

    Weight Loss: 113 pounds in 6 months – and kept it off for over 2 years
    Blood Sugar: Dropped from 17-20 down to 5-7 (normal range)
    Energy: From “vegetating for years” to traveling and living fully
    Appetite: Naturally lost interest in carbs, bread, cakes, and cookies

    “I don’t feel the need to eat carbohydrates, breads, cakes, and cookies,” Amanda explains. “To be honest with you, I just lost interest.”

    Her body had literally rewired itself to want healthy foods and reject the processed foods that were making her sick.

    Why Aging Doesn’t Have to Mean Declining

    Amanda’s story shatters the myth that getting older means getting sicker.

    At 69, when most people are slowing down and accepting chronic disease, Amanda was just getting started on her transformation.

    “I was working out every single night for about six months and only lost about fifteen pounds,” she remembers. “Then if I stopped, I put everything back on in a matter of weeks.”

    Traditional approaches weren’t working because they only addressed her body, not her mind.

    But when she engaged her subconscious mind through visualization, everything changed.

    The Power of Mental Reprogramming

    What Amanda did every night was simple but profound:

    Step 1: She looked at her ideal body image
    Step 2: She listened to Jon’s evening visualization CD
    Step 3: She fell asleep with the image of her healthy body in her mind

    “Quite often I don’t hear the end of the CD, but I sleep right through and wake up feeling good.”

    While she slept, her brain was creating new neural pathways. Her subconscious mind was accepting the image of her healthy, thin body as reality.

    Her body simply followed the new mental programming.

    “My Daughter Was the First to Notice”

    The changes happened gradually, then all at once.

    “At first, I didn’t think too much about it, but then I started getting into shape. 

    My daughter was the first person to notice it: I didn’t have a belly that hung over my knees anymore.”

    But the physical transformation was just the beginning.

    “I basically vegetated for years,” Amanda admits. “You lose interest in everything because you don’t want to do anything.”

    As the weight came off and her health improved, Amanda’s entire life transformed:

    • She started making travel plans
    • She reconnected with friends and social activities
    • She began learning Italian – something she’d always wanted to do
    • She started “wanting to be part of the world again”

    The Diabetes Reversal That Shocked Her Doctors

    The most dramatic change was Amanda’s blood sugar.

    When she started, her levels were consistently 17-20 – dangerously high numbers that indicated severe, uncontrolled diabetes.

    After using Jon’s method, her blood sugar dropped to 5-7 – completely normal, healthy levels.

    “They say I still have diabetes, but I don’t think I do. I don’t need to worry about it.”

    Her body had essentially healed itself through the power of mental reprogramming combined with natural lifestyle changes.

    The Science Behind the Miracle

    While Amanda’s story sounds miraculous, there’s solid science behind mind-body healing:

    Visualization reduces stress hormones like cortisol that interfere with blood sugar regulation

    Mental imagery activates the parasympathetic nervous system which promotes healing and regeneration

    Positive expectations trigger the placebo effect – your body’s natural ability to heal when it believes healing is possible

    Sleep-based programming allows the subconscious mind to rewire automatic behaviors around food and lifestyle

    Reduced stress eating naturally leads to better food choices and improved metabolism

    It’s Never Too Late to Transform

    Amanda’s story proves it’s never too late to completely transform your health.

    At 69, facing serious diabetes and extreme obesity, she could have accepted decline as inevitable.

    Instead, she chose to engage the most powerful healing tool she had: her mind.
    “Now I’m able to structure my thinking in a more positive way,” she says.

    The Simple Evening Routine That Changed Everything

    Amanda’s routine was remarkably simple:

    • Keep an inspiration image by your bed
    • Look at it before sleep every single night
    • Listen to guided visualization as you fall asleep
    • Never skip a night – make it your non-negotiable routine

    “The CD is my mantra,” Amanda says. “I won’t stop listening to the CD. I won’t stop doing my visualization every single night.”

    What This Means for You

    If a 69-year-old woman with severe diabetes and 100+ pounds to lose can completely transform her health using only her mind, what’s possible for you?

    Amanda didn’t have special genetics or unlimited resources. She didn’t use extreme diets or dangerous procedures.

    She simply harnessed the same mental power that every human being possesses.

    Your age doesn’t disqualify you from transformation. Your current health condition doesn’t determine your future. Your past failures don’t predict your future success.

    Your mind has the same healing power that Amanda accessed.

    Start Tonight

    You don’t need to wait or prepare to begin using your mind for healing.

    • Find an image that represents your ideal health and vitality

    Do this every night for a week and notice what changes – not just in your body, but in your relationship with food, your energy levels, and your overall outlook.

    The Gift Amanda Received

    When Jon heard Amanda’s story, he was deeply moved:

    If I never accomplish anything else in my life, there’s a sixty-nine-year-old woman out there who has just been given a new lease on life. And somehow I was able to contribute to that.”

    Amanda didn’t just lose weight or reverse diabetes…

    She got her life back.

    At 70, she’s planning adventures, learning new skills, and embracing possibilities instead of accepting limitations.

    Your mind has the same power.

    Your potential for transformation has no expiration date.

    Amanda’s story isn’t unique because she’s special. It’s unique because she chose to believe in her body’s ability to heal and used her mind to make it reality.
