I am writing this letter to tell you about Bert Seelman and Performance Fitness Systems! I have known Bert over the past 16 years. I have been a client over the course of this period of time and have recently signed up again as an active client and participant of PFS. I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for Bert. He truly is a devoted professional and has been a good friend. My personal experience has always been wonderful and effective when working with Bert but what I wish to tell you about in this letter, is my experience with Bert and PFS with respect to my father.

Several months ago, I became extremely concerned about my father's health and poor eating habits. He was gaining weight, had exacerbation of existing chronic medical problems and very poor eating habits. He complained a lot about gastrointestinal distress with bloating and nausea. He basically, would not only make poor choices with meals but would skip meals regularly. He just did not appear to be in good health at a hefty 235 lbs. He has had a long history of chronic lung problems and complained of shortness of breath and poor exertional breathing capacity. He has a history of hyperlipidemia. He recently had worsening arthritis pain in his feet/knees/hands. To make it worse, his spirit was completely broken. He complained of difficulty sleeping because of musculoskeletal pain and leg cramps. In my opinion he was lethargic, unhappy and depressed most of the time. I tried to help him but could not. As a physician myself (I am a board certified Internist) this was very distressing and frustrating for me especially since this man is the light of my life and the absolute wind beneath my wings.

I encouraged him to see his physicians, see a dietician, exercise and get help but he seemed to be paralyzed in doing so. He told me he was at "a point of no return" and felt he was simply getting old. On his 66th birthday I had a heart-to-heart talk with my Dad. I have two beautiful children who he adores. Needless to say the children love him more than anything and have an excellent relationship with him.

My family and I had just spent a weekend with my parents at Disneyland celebrating my daughter's 6th birthday. I told my Dad how much I needed him and my desire to see him live a healthier lifestyle. I also told him how much my children needed him in their lives. I asked him to commit two weeks of his time with Bert and PFS. If after the two weeks, he was not convinced the program was right for him, we would quit right then and there--no questions asked. He agreed.

Since beginning the program with Bert's assistance and astute direction 5 weeks ago, my father has lost 29 lbs of fat! His total weight at this time is 199 lbs. and he is continuing to lose. He has transformed not only his physical being but his spirit. He is a changed man! He believes in himself and has renewed confidence! He is eager to exercise and welcomes the daily commitment to Bert's exercise and dietary program. He appears healthier than ever-- physically speaking, he does not complain about shortness of breath and has not required use of his inhalers. He sleeps well throughout the night and feels rested in the morning. He no longer has pain in his feet and knees. He has better range of motion of all his joints. He does not have the multitude of gastrointestinal complaints that plagued him for years. He now is extremely energetic, positive, confident and appears to be very content and happy with his progress. My Mother is also very pleased in seeing this beautiful change in him.

Importantly he says he feels strong, full of energy and "alive again"!. His eating habits have improved and he enjoys eating a well balanced and healthy diet without excessive fat, sugars, artificial sweeteners, preservatives or caffeine. He follows his diet and does not feel bloated or hungry. I owe this all to my father's good efforts but most importantly to Bert and his direction and commitment!

Bert's methods are unique and powerful! I cannot describe it to you but results are proof my friends! I love the fact that I have one of my best friend's back in my life again--my dear father! I am relieved that he is doing so amazingly well and feeling so much better! I am comforted by the fact that he is living a healthier lifestyle and happy! It is nice to see my good old Dad again! I love you Bert!

On behalf of my entire family we thank you Bert for your wonderful vision. Few individuals are as dedicated, devoted and passionate to what they believe in! Bert, I am so proud to be your client and friend and! thank God for allowing our path's to cross! You are incredibly amazing---thank you!

With all my love, respect and admiration,

Ana-Luisa Rosales, M.D.
