I have been a client of Linda’s for the past year and she has treated me for a variety of health conditions. Linda assisted me last year when I was frantically combining work, study and family life. Her natural remedies provided me with the opportunity to re balance my depleted stores of energy and to feel healthier than I have for many years.
I have been struggling with my weight since the birth of my children, who are now both 13 and 10 years of age. (The “excess baggage” is no longer a valid excuse now!! ) Finally, with Linda’s invaluable expertise and knowledge, she suggested I commence the new revolutionary PRO HCG FAT BURNING diet. Under Linda’s guidance and with sheer determination and will power, I shed an amazing 6.5 kilos in 3 weeks and lost a total of 39 centimetres from my hips, thighs, buttocks and tummy . This lifestyle change has taught me to re think and re evaluate what I eat and put into my body. Feed the body correctly and it will peak at its optimal performance. I have had many positive comments from friends noticing how my skin looks radiant and I feel great!! I have even been motivated to join Yoga classes after many years away and am thoroughly enjoying the new me! Thanks again Linda. For anyone serious about weight loss or general well being, I highly recommend that you see Linda at her new clinic at 782 High St, Thornbury.

I was coming up for my 40th birthday and my knee had given out, I had high blood pressure and just generally felt rubbish all the time. I knew it was time to do something about my weight but I'd never been a successful dieter. A friend had done the PRO HCG FAT BURNING diet and lost an incredible amount of weight, so I looked for someone in Melbourne who was offering it. That someone was Linda Cotone.
The result have been astounding, in the 6 weeks on PRO HCG FAT BURNING PROGRAM I lost 10 kg, and 15 cm from my waist. My knee is better which means I can exercise again and my blood pressure is back to normal. Thanks Linda, your enthusiasm and professionalism shone through for me, I felt like you were
with me all the way!
See you soon,

Summer time 2012 and I can't fit into my "big" bathers from last year. I am struggling to push myself off the floor when playing board games with the kids. I have put on 6 kilos in the last 10 months. I needed a detox, to drop some weight fast but keep it off, I went to my Naturopath for help.
Linda suggested I try the PRO HCG Fat Burning drops for a 23 day period to lose some weight and clean out my body at the same time. I was willing to give anything a go. The first 2 days were weird as I ate a lot and started to feel full all the time. Once on the drops for 4 to 5 days and the habit of the healthy eating plan became routine I started to feel better. I knew exactly what to eat, there was no elaborate recipes or foreign ingredients, just a simple to follow guide to get me to my goal and I followed it to the letter.
It was only 23 days. I lost 8 kilos. I have now maintained that weight for 20 days and am finding it extremely manageable. I can't thank Linda enough. I can't wait to do PRO HCG FAT BURNING PROGRAM for another 23 days and lose another 6 to 8 kilos. My wardrobe fits, I feel like I have more energy and I look and feel 100% better and it took just 23 days.

I first visited Linda on my mum's recommendation just under a year ago. At the time, I was constantly feeling unwell: I was having difficulty sleeping, was unsurprisingly fatigued, putting on weight and was constipated. Linda uncovered the primary catalysts and promptly put me on a phased detox, supported by supplements. Within a week, I could feel a significant difference in my body, and by the end of the detox, I could barely remember just how bad I had once felt. At the start of this year, I continued with Linda, combating my excess in weight by going on the PRO HCG FAT BURNING PROGRAM. I lost 5kg and returned to my former healthy weight. The improvements in my health far surpass what I could have imagined last year.
I could not recommend working with Linda more highly. Linda is very professional and knowledgeable, passionate about her work and provides the support between consultations to ensure that you get the best results.

I have been seeing Linda for almost 10 years now. I call her my miracle worker. I first went to see her in 2003 for stress/anxiety. My stress levels were through the roof and making my skin break out into hives. With Lindas’ help and understanding, I was soon stress and break out free. Since then I’ve gone to see Linda for many other issues. Back in 2007 I was diagnosed with a Grade 4 ulcer in my oesophagus (pretty serious stuff). The doctors prescribed a variety of tablets to treat it, but none of them were doing anything to help. In fact, they made me feel 10 times worse. So I went to Linda (again). Within 5 months, she brought it down to a Grade 2. Within another 5 months, the ulcer was GONE!
I’ve recently gone to see Linda about the PRO HCG FAT BURNING PROGRAM. I’d tried everything to get the weight off, but nothing was working. My body and metabolism had united and gone on strike. So I thought, do the PRO HCG FAT BURNING PROGRAM, what have I got to lose? (well, the weight, obviously). The PRO HCG FAT BURNING PROGRAM does what it states – Help You Lose Weight!!!! As far as I’m concerned, IT’S THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE!!! Within 3 weeks of being on the PRO HCG FAT BURNING PROGRAM, I’d lost 8kg! I’m now planning on doing a second round of the PRO HCG FAT BURNING PROGRAM, which means I’ll be back to annoy Linda again
So Thank you Linda for everything! I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for all your help. To all of you reading this, to all of you that still have doubts, stop doubting, go see Linda and get your life back on track. Trust me, she IS a miracle worker. Oh, and if you want to lose some of that whale blubber you’ve been carrying around – DO THE PRO HCG FAT BURNING PROGRAM!!!! , You won’t regret it!!

"I went to see Linda Cotone because I have Polycystic ovarian syndrome, hypothyroidism and had suffered 3 miscarriages and was overweight. Linda treated me using a variety of herbs, vitamins, dietary and lifestyle advice. During that time i lost 10 kgs, my periods regulated, my thyroid function was normal and i felt the best i have ever felt in a very long time. As soon as we tried to conceive we were successful without miscarrying and we now have a very health and happy baby girl. We can't thank Linda enough for all the help and guidance she has given us. Without her help we would not have our beautiful baby girl. Linda is a wealth of knowledge and is a very kind and compassionate person. She is very dedicated to helping people and we would not hesitate in recommending her to any one."

"Linda has made me aware of how to strike a balance between eating properly and also allowing yourself to occasionally feast with family and friends. Blokes like myself don’t understand kilojoules and calories because we can’t see them. However, Linda tailored her approach to my eating plan around an emphasis on my needs - to assist me in getting the best out of her program.
After 4 months on Linda’s program, I had blood tests taken to monitor the progress of my chronic fatty liver – which I was diagnosed over 10 year ago. The results of the blood test showed that the chronic condition had gone! A truly sensational result.
Linda’s program has given me an awareness on how to eat properly and the importance of regular exercise. The program has changed my life - I now have more energy and my health and fitness has significantly improved. I recommend Linda’s program to anyone. In fact, I recommended the program to my best friend - my wife – who has also had fantastic results! Thank you Linda for putting life back into me!"

"I am 15 years of age and suffered greatly with severe period pain causing vomiting and diarrhoea for several hours on the first day. It was suggested that I visit Linda Cotone for a consultation. Since undertaking a course of herbal medicine over a 6 month period I have had increasing improvement with my periods and no longer suffer any signs of vomiting or diarrhoea and am now pain free.
I have found Linda to be caring, understanding and a wealth of information and cannot recommend her high enough"

"Consulting with Linda was the best thing I have ever done. I had been overweight for 20 years. On Linda's weight control program I lost 15 kgs in 15 weeks. I also suffer from Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).Going on Linda's diet program eliminated IBS symptoms and gave me a feeling of well being. Linda supported me through with a positive attitude and attention to my general health. I would recomend anyone trying to lose weight and to improve their general health to visit Linda Cotone."

"After seven years of searching for natural remedies for Crohns disease (with only temporary relief and still requiring various pharmaceutical medication) I was introduced to Linda.
Linda’s background in medical laboratory science combined with qualifications in natural medicine and a passion to assist people with their health has made Linda a talented practitioner.
Currently I am experiencing good health and have been able to stop taking one of the two pharmaceutical medications that I had relied upon for years.
Linda has a holistic approach to health recommending the supplements that are required (without costing hundreds of dollars), encourages a nutritional diet, stress reduction and offers support at all times.
I have tried many naturopaths, chiropractors, acupuncture and Chinese medicine practitioners in the past without success. I thank Linda for my journey back to good health."

"When I was 24 I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) and told I might not be able to have children. I knew that I was ovulating about once a year at the very most. At the age of 34, my partner and I decided we would love to have children so I went to see Linda Cotone to get some help with my fertility. However I also had Irritable Bowel Syndrome with a tendency towards weight loss and weighed only 45 kilos after a recent trip to South America. Through use of various herbal remedies and vitamins and minerals Linda helped me gain 6 kilos in 3 months. Once I gained the weight Linda changed my herbal remedy and fertility program to help get me ovulating. I was very surprised that within 4 days of taking the herbal remedy I was ovulating. I was even more surprised when we conceived on our first try. We now have a beautiful, healthy baby boy (and I am still 51 kilos) thanks to Linda!"

Linda helped me to achieve a miracle - naturally …. I was heading down a dark path brought about by bad food choices and my body (hormones) was totally out of whack! In April of this year a Doctor discovered a cyst on my ovary and also uncovered that I had a hormonal imbalance resulting in endometriosis + lack of ovulation. I chose to have the cyst surgically removed and during a post surgery consult the Specialist advised that moving forward I would need to take hormonal medication to stimulate ovulation. This saddened me and disturbed me - I felt like my body had let me down and I was sceptical about the need to take synthetic drugs. I asked the Specialist if I should cut out alcohol, coffee, certain foods (met, dairy, wheat, etc), - he said no, none of that has ever been proven to help!! Well it was at that moment I walked out and chose to not go back instead I headed straight to Linda who calmly and with conviction advised that she would be able to assist me… naturally. And she did. By following a healthy and well balanced diet and swapping alcohol for natural herbs, coffee for probiotics, and sugar, wheat, dairy, for natural supplements, my hormones rebalanced within a month resulting in a menstrual cycle decreasing from 35days to 29 followed by the best result is in June - pregnancy. Doesn’t get much better than that…. I HIGHLY recommend Linda to help rebalance our bodies naturally and put you back on the healthy path your belong…..

Linda has been a true and inspirational friend, as a Naturopath, assisting me on my journey. Constantly reassuring me and showing genuine concern with her ongoing support, I have managed to maintain a realistic perception on the journey of understanding weight loss and it's relationship with state of mind. I am discovering a new relationship with my body and working towards feeding it to avoid bloating, tiredness and maintaining a wholesome healthy lifestyle.
Linda's vast knowledge, understanding and concern about Women's Health and Issues is making the experience even more valuable and personalised for me.
I am grateful for the day I made the effort to check the local paper and saw an ad to Linda's clinic and decided I wanted 'changes'. She is delightful, inspirational, approachable and genuinely caring. I am still on my journey, I can feel the changes, mentally and physically. The Journey will be forever.
Thank you so much Linda,you provide realistic programs and you design them according to the needs of individuals.
Thank you for your sincerity
