our words to you
Q: Your founder, Dr. Paul Bradley, is Ruby’s obesity specialist. Tell me more about their relationship.
A: As Ruby’s Team Leader, Dr. Bradley feels that it’s important for Ruby to take advantage of all of the opportunities life has to offer. Dr. Bradley coordinates Ruby’s medical program and diet regimen, and encourages her to pursue her exercise program. You can say they’re amazing friends for life.
Q: What continues to draw Ruby to Dr. Bradley?
A. In Ruby’s own words: “Dr. Paul Bradley truly sees the urgency of the epidemic of obesity just as I do. I am living it and walking it and Dr. Bradley has the heart and soul to help people beat this beast. I have to admit that I am one of those who never thought I would participate in a program like Ourlife, but it was Dr. Bradley’s passion and belief that led me to give it a chance, and I am so glad I did.”
Q. What is participating in the Ourlife program like?
A. In Ruby’s own words: “For me, Ourlife was like a drug addict going to rehab. Believe me when I tell you that it is hard as helicopter in the beginning. It’s like detoxing your body, but it is also the beginning of your cure. Being on the Ourlife Fresh meals for the first six months helped me to eventually start finding a balance of learning to cook and eat on my own. I would encourage everyone struggling with obesity or diabetes to strictly commit to Ourlife for three to six months and watch it change your life.”
Q: What do you tell someone that’s in Ruby’s situation, without a hit TV show?
A: Behind the glitz and glamour, there’s a lot of hard work being done. Ruby is as real in person as she is on camera. So we would first tell you, it’s time to get real. Real exercise, real food, real medical guidance — drop the fads and get ready to roll up your sleeves. You can do this.
Q: How helpful have Ruby’s friends been in her journey?
A: Ruby is blessed with an amazing support group, which is what we believe makes Ourlife such a success. Ourlife is about combining medical expertise with relationships — and working together. Even if you don’t have that support at home, together, we will work things through.
Q: If you could share one message with Ruby’s fans, what would it be?
A: Without a doubt, “thank you.” Thank you for supporting Ruby, understanding our cause, and continuing to spread the word that we can win this battle. We have made a difference for Ruby and we can do the same for you.
