Diabetes, Hypertension, GERD
Dear Radhia,
I adore your services.
Thank you very much.
I have learnt many things about health. And I am sharing them with my colleagues, friends and students. They all join me in expressing appreciative gratitude.
I am diabetic and have hypertension. I am 55 years old;
I am a college teacher and lead a partial sedentary life. I enjoy walking but hardly find time for it. So I stand and move while I teach. I walk from one block to another for classes. I enjoy eating to a limited extent.
So I tend to eat more than I deserve. I am oversensitive and feel tense. This life style precipitated diabetes, hyper acidity and hypertension.
I have learnt from you that I have not protected my body, the temple. We, in India, give more importance to mind than to body. With warm regards of robust health.

IBS
To God be the glory- for leading me to Radhia Gleis.
For eight (8) years I have suffered from chronic diarrhea. When I say suffered I mean that in the strongest sense of suffering. It all started in 1994 when I had a hysterectomy.
Then my thyroid quit working properly. At that point it was periodic diarrhea and the gastrologist did the usual tests and determine I had IBS- I was to take Psyllium and eat more bulk. That did not help.
Then in July 98 I had foot surgery and they put two steel pins in my foot, exactly 1 month after that surgery I began diarrhea on a daily basis (always the 1st thing of every morning) I was sent to a gastro specialist at Baylor and he put me on Colestid (which was supposed to absorb the bile and stop the diarrhea) It helped but still daily diarrhea.
Seven (7) months later I had emergency gall bladder surgery and the DR’s thought removal of the gall bladder would stop the diarrhea- it did not it was back daily with a vengeance. I had every test done that every Doctor could think of, with all negative results. Every Doctor said IBS-, which is a catchall for (We don’t know).
I then started looking at alternative medicine. I went to a D.O. that treated me with a Lactose free diet and candida yeast diet, they tried cats claw – they tried mental assessment testing to see if it was mentally brought out, I did stool test and stool test, I did food allergy testing.
Then I was treated for glucogenic imbalance and Dysaerobic imbalance. All the while thousands are being spent to no avail. By this time I am now wearing a Depend constantly and missing work at least once a week or if I get to work I spend 1 or 2 hours in the bathroom. I was a prisoner to my home and work; my social life was nil. I ate Lomotil and Colestid which both had side effects.
The # of times I was humiliated with uncontrollable accidents of fecal going through my clothes and running down my legs, left me so depressed and in tears of agony. All the while I am going from 135 lbs. to 150 and rising, all I was able to eat and keep in and not have diarrhea was starch – I could not eat any vegetables or any fruit. They then put me on colonics, and then a slant board where tee tree oil was inserted in the rectum and held in while on the slant board. Then I went the acupuncture route. That did help but only if I could get two treatments per week, I had to go down to 1 a week and tried many Chinese herbal teas from the acupuncturist. Again spending thousands of dollars to the point where I finally had to give up everything but what the hospitalization would pay for.
Then in December of 2004 God lead me to Radhia. She was eager to try to find a solution – we started out slowly because of finances and I was starting to see some improvement.
Then I got a tax refund and ask her to step it up and at the same time my Diabetes Doctor and my Cardiologist both said I needed to loose weight and get my blood sugar under control.
So on February 28, 2005 I started the UltraLite Diet along with her supplement protocol. On February 25th, I had blood work done which showed my Cholesterol to be 160 and my Triglycerides were 254 and my 3-month blood sugar Hemoglobin A1C was 7.8 and I weighed 173 lbs.
Since starting the diet and the protocol along with 1 tablespoon of Nutri-Fiber – my diarrhea has stopped. I just had new blood work done 4/11/05 and my Cholesterol was 115 and Triglycerides was 72 my Hemoglobin A1C is now 5.9 and my daily blood sugars testing are average 94.
My cardiologist and My Endocrinologist are very happy and extremely amazed in just 8 weeks what a turn around. And my weight is 152. A loss of 21lbs. I am exercising and eating properly and feeling just great. It has been two weeks since I have worn a Depend (what a blessing) I have not been sick or missed 1 day of work since starting with Radhia last December.
Thank God for medical people who truly care about the patient. I praise God every day for this relief of no daily diarrhea.

Dietary Supplemention
It was during one of my phone calls to resupply that I was visiting with Radhia about a current issue I had been dealing with for several months. She asked me a few more details and recommended some changes/additions to my supplements, advised me on how to take them, told me it may take awhile to resolve but to be patient. Within a couple weeks I noticed a difference and I continue to improve each day. I was under a doctor's care but with Radhia's help my health has greatly improved. I can't stress enough how helpful and knowledgeable everyone at Lake Hills Pharmacy are. And Radhia is amazing!

So there are closer compounding places to me than this one, but I started going there because they had great prices on pharmaceutical vitamins. I stayed there because of Radhia. She is there to greet you right when you walk in and has helped me so much to find the vitamins I needed for all phases of my life, trying to get pregnant, pregnant, breast-feeding, then no sleep, lol. I love the interesting facts she types up for us to take too. She recently also helped a friend of mine get some good basic items for what she needed. So she makes it worth the drive for me and now I get my compounding done there. Thanks Radhia for all your help over the years!!!

COVID
Radhia…. I can’t say enough amazing things about her! Every single time I’ve needed assistance, she is not only there to investigate but she has really helped me oh so much. When I had COVID this year, I had some issues that my primary doctor just couldn’t and want willing to navigate. Radia called me and was very professional and verbose about how we would investigate the issues and she would try to help as much as she could. Well, she did help. She helped so much that I had better blood panel numbers than before COVID. And…. She was great about follow up. I always appreciate follow you from people I reach out for care help!
She is also very clear that she is assisting and makes sure I discuss with my doctor about these things. I will forever call her for advice!

I have known you (Radhia) for almost ten years. During this entire time, I have known you to be only the most ardent of Truth seekers whether it be in the area of chronic illness, nutrition, cutting edge healing arts tools or spirituality.
While the world is filled with many well-intentioned practitioners especially in the area of alternative medicine, the majority of people in your field rarely get past technician into the realm of practitioner/artist.
One of the most prevalent things that restrict most practitioners to the role of technician is their aversion to working on themselves. The amount of inner work you have done with yourself is obvious to me every moment we speak.
The lack of ego in your sharing and the lack of need for approval from your clients is not only refreshing but sadly, often an anomaly in this world. It is clear that one of the reasons you are as open minded as you are is because you are not afraid of being an eternal student, always in search of new and more effective ways to serve those who come to see you.
At the same time, you are not afraid to have a concept that has seemed plausible for some time be blasted out of your consciousness by a new and more plausible truth. Your commitment to growth and learning also seems never polarized by your willingness to take a stand and assume the authority that you have worked so hard to attain.
The number one thing that makes your authoritative presence so easy to receive is the level of surrender to God that sits so clearly one millimeter behind your persona.
Thank you for being more direct than anyone I have met in Austin.
Thank you for being willing to take prudent risks with me. Thank you for being willing to blend my own perceptions and inner guidance with your own observations.
Thank you for holding the largest picture possible whenever we have discussed possible directions for my physical health. Your willingness to do this has enabled me to continue to address the challenges of a difficult body without feeding any momentary fear that may have arisen which in turn helped me remember that who I really am is not this body anyway.
Hypocrites would smile upon your attempt to serve in the ways you do.
It brings me much joy to see all the degrees that you have attained over the last few years because these societal blessed certificates will enable a broader and broader section of the population to gain access to your wisdom and solid commitment to serve humanity in whatever way you can.
God bless you and your work!

Diet and Nutrition
Dear Dr. Radhia Gleis, CCN,
I wanted to express my appreciation to you for all your kindnesses toward me. They are so numerous that I choose to mention only a select few. The instructions you gave me with regard to diet and nutrition were invaluable. I began to feel relief with my condition after a very short period of time. The alternative approach that you selected for me seem to really fit the bill.
You really turned my life around for the better and I am grateful that you were recommended to me.

Metabo-Lyte
Weight Loss Detoxification
I’ve intended to write for some time now, but felt my words would bear more weight if they stood the test of time. I’ve had two months now to experiment with the knowledge and tools that you provided me and feel that I can finally thank you properly.
It’s easy to compare how I feel now with my past. There are so few similarities. Not only is my digestive system much happier, but also I have more energy. I’ve lost that tenderness in my gut and the bloating is gone. I especially like wearing my designs for a flat tummy.
Experiments with food are fun. In the past, it’s been a challenge to find variety in my menu. Food has never been this fun before. I enjoyed meeting my nutritional needs and at the same time eating really yummy fruits, nuts, veggies and protein. And it’s so interesting knowing that a food is not going to disagree with me and seeing how I feel if I decide to eat it anyway. I’m much more in tune with what my body likes and needs.
I set out in September of last year to make a change in my life. I was fortunate enough to be steered in your direction and consider that part of my life to be in control for the first time. It’s wonderful to cross it off the list. I’m sure there’s much more for me to learn, but the foundation is firmly established. I’m very happy and I owe a lot of this to you.
Thank you.

Products to Pain to Puppies
I live in Fort Worth, but have phone consultations, and even private consultations on Zoom, with Radhia all the time. She always makes time for me; her service and expertise has been invaluable! Her product knowledge is amazing and her recommendations have proved to be spot on. Over the years, she has worked with me on pain management, sleep issues, bone density, digestive issues, hair loss, and my overall nutritional needs, as well as making recommendations for my boyfriend in an effort to help get him off some of his prescription medications. She's even helped with my pets. The pharmacy makes my bio-identical hormones. Jobby and the other pharmacists have extremely helpful in consulting with my doctor on rectifying my hormonal imbalance. I cannot recommend Radhia and Lake Hills Pharmacy highly enough. Thank you all! Keep up the good work!

COVID
Radhia is always incredibly helpful, full of knowledge and wisdom, but especially during this time--her help is invaluable!!! After a positive covid-19 diagnosis, my doctor (and the testing facility's doctor) told me to go home and wait for it to get better. My husband went in to Lake Hills Pharmacy anxious to find some way to help me fight the illness. Radhia set him up with a "Covid-Cocktail" of nutritional supplements and I was on the mend just one day later! She was comforting, knowledgeable, and kind to us...and made all the difference for this family!!! Thanks Radhia!!!!

Anxiety
When I was exhausted from overwork, Radhia helped me with all the tests needed to discover my Cortisol levels were blown (and adrenals) she worked diligently with me for months, managing my protocols to help me raise my endocrine system back to normal. Plus, as you see, I learned a lot about self health care from her, during this time. She's a wealth of knowledge, and I have referred friends to her because of that. I am happy to give her a great review.

Variety of Health Issues
I have worked with Radhia on various health issues over the last 30 yrs, she is so knowledgeable and continues to learn, sees things in patterns rather than symptoms .I would and do recommend her regularly and trust her with my health.
17
Depression
Anxiety
I have anxiety disorder, and Radhia has been able to help me control that with alternative supplements that don't cause me as many side effects as the medicines that work for me. I still take some medications, but in reduced quantities, so the side effects are lower.
14
IBS
Radhia has been a God send for us. She’s helped us when many Doctors could not. I’ve sent all of my friends and family to her and we will continue to use her for a lifetime. Very grateful we crossed paths.

Depression Anxiety
Radhia is amazing!! She is kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. She has a wonderful sense of humor which immediately puts you at ease. Her knowledge about the body and mind is outstanding. I have been working with her for the last several months to balance various deficiencies in both minerals, vitamins, and hormones. Radhia recommended rigorous testing and even worked with healthcare specialists to determine what supplements would work best to make me feel "like me" again (without interfere with other medications). I have been taking the supplements and following her advice and the changes are becoming evident everyday. I would highly recommend Radhia to anyone who is tired of conventional doctors telling them everything is "fine", when inside you know it's NOT "fine". Radhia has given me the opportunity to see what is going on inside my body in a way that conventional medicine (and insurance companies) doesn't offer. I look forward to keeping up with the regiment and regaining my sense of self and my health! You won't regret a moment you spend learning and healing with her!

Weight Loss, Diabetes, Hypertension, GERD
When I came to Radhia, I weighed over 300 lbs. I was on blood sugar, cholesterol, and 2 kinds of blood pressure medicine and a drug for my reflux. I knew I had to lose weight but my challenge was I am a railroad engineer. I am on call 24/7 and when I am called, I am on the train for four days in a row with no stops except for fast food and vending machines. She helped instruct my wife and I on how to pre-prepare my food for four days and keep it in a cooler. Once we solved the logistics the diet was easy and manageable. I felt great. I wasn’t hungry and I had a lot of energy. The biggest problem I had was my clothes. I was losing so much weight my pants kept falling off. LOL! A nice problem to have. I solved it when I found new jeans at the thrift store till, I got to my ideal weight. To make a long story short I went down to 218 lbs in 5 months and I got off of 3 out of 5 medications and reduced intake of the last 2 by 75%. I’m a new man all because of Radhi Gleis and the Ultra Lite clinically supervised weight loss program.

Metobo-Lyte Weight Loss and Detoxification
Oh my gosh-I just broke my brain…the scale said 158.8!!!!!!! I can’t remember the last time I was under 160-I think it was after I had my 3rd kiddo….I had pneumonia in my last month of pregnancy & basically was all baby, then she nursed like she needed all the food in the world! Definitely not a healthy weight loss program for me!
Radhia….I know we have more to go, but I am in amazement of this program. I have NEVER had the self-discipline to curb my eating habits like this. I’ve NEVER seen results from any effort I’ve made. You have not only given me tools for how to lose weight and feel SO much better physically, but also given me habits that will stick! I was thinking yesterday that the portions I’m eating are really enough! I think I’ll enjoy a slightly larger protein portion at lunch & breakfast, but I’m really happy with what I’m eating! The biggest change has been not adding the rice or pasta or tortillas or chips that would usually go with the meals I prepare for dinner for the fam. Guess what? I don’t miss them that much now!!! I made “tostadas” last night & they were just as good without the tostada base as with!
Thank you for your accountability, your encouragement, and for this program. I’m beyond grateful. I bought a size medium spaghetti strap dress this weekend to wear to an event. I almost cried b/c it fit & I didn’t have back rolls coming out.

Cholesterol Control
A few years ago, on Christmas day, I had heart attack. I survived but the doctor put me on a massive number of medications. Especially cholesterol meds. It wasn’t long after that I started losing my memory. I am the CEO of a company, and I was struggling so bad I couldn’t remember anything. I found Radhia the following February. When she checked my cholesterol it was down to 96. She explained to me that the “sterol” of cholesterol makes our steroid hormones including testosterone. No wonder I couldn’t think. She put me on the Ultra Lite Diet. She warned me that if I went on this diet it would lower my cholesterol even more, she suggested that I ask my doctor to adjust my medicine. After 5 weeks I lost 11 inches off my waist and 35 lbs. My cholesterol is up to a healthy number, my energy is up and my memory is coming back and I feel great. I can’t thank Radhia enough.

Liver and Colon Detoxification
I was exposed to a high dose of mercury from a lab leak above my office. For many years I was very sick and experienced brain damage because of it. I tried to do a detoxification program and ended up in the hospital twice. I had heard about Radhia’s reputation and I wanted to know if there was a safe way to detox. She put me on a 28 day program and told me we would do it slow and methodically. I did what she told me and for the first time in years I feel so much better.
