PULSE MGMT Mckenzi Hendricks weight loss success letter

Doctor Jon

There is so much pressure on models to look a certain way but no one really cares how they achieve that look. As a model I know looking like a model and staying healthy do not always go hand in hand. Without realizing it, it is very easy to stay skinny but risk your health. Many models starve themselves by eating only five to six hundred calories per day. I did this for a few months and on the outside I looked perfect, my hair didn’t thin, my skin didn’t look bad, and I was skinny. My actual health was a different story, I was always light-headed, hungry, and I never had energy. A person’s body cannot function properly on six hundred calories. After a few months I started eating normally again but I was also gaining weight and didn’t know how to deal with it in a healthy way.

In November, 2011, I was introduced to Doctor Jon by Stacey Eastman, the owner of Pulse Model Management. Doctor Jon had put together a nutrition program for some of Stacey’s models. The whole point of the program was to allow models to maintain the body weight they need, without harming their health. Doctor Jon explained the benefits of the program, and my parents and I decided to give it a shot.

The program is very simple but takes a lot of dedication. Dr. Jon explained that the major reason why models put on weight is due to inflammation, and he explained what causes the inflammation. While using the program I cannot consume gluten or sugar because both of those cause inflammation. In modeling, a quarter of an inch makes a major difference in measurements, so if I am inflamed or not could be a deciding factor for a job. Cutting gluten and sugar out of my diet was not easy and it still isn’t, but the rewards have been great. That is where the dedication comes in, it would be really easy to give in just once but it takes three to six months for sugar or gluten to fully leave your system.

One thing that Dr. Jon really stresses is eating every two or three hours so your body constantly has fuel. Another thing that causes inflammation is your blood sugar. When you go hours on end without eating, your blood sugar is going to drop. Once you eat, your blood sugar shoots up and it’s not good for your blood sugar levels to be on a rollercoaster. Every few hours I eat a handful of almonds, or a cucumber, something to keep my blood sugar even.

Aside from the benefits of the program Doctor Jon has been a Godsend for me on a personal level, too. We message each other a few times every week just to keep in touch. When I have any questions or I am struggling with my diet, I message Doctor Jon and he is more than willing to help me. While in Tokyo, it was hard to find food without gluten, but Doctor Jon has been a big help with giving me suggestions. Also, I am the type of person who loves to work out but when I work out too much, my muscles bulk up so Doctor Jon helped me find a workout regimen that works for me.

Since I have been on Dr. Jon’s program and really stuck to it, my measurements have been perfect. I’m not sure what I would look like right now or how healthy I would be if it weren’t for Doctor Jon. He knows what he is talking about and really cares about my health. I promise the program works but it takes full dedication to be successful.

Hey Stacey!

My experience with Pulse Model Management has been very positive!!!! Pulse is a great management agency and they really care about their models. My relationship with them has opened the doors to a whole new world of opportunity for me, and for so many other girls, i have either roomed with or know from around the world, literally!

If it weren’t for Pulse I would not be flying to Tokyo in two days or have been to South Korea or NY for months on end. I have fallen in love with traveling and meeting people from different parts of the world, and expressing myself through photography on so many different levels, and it is all because of Pulse.

Pulse is amazing but the guy that makes it all happen is Stacey Eastman. I met Stacey three and a half years ago and have loved him from day one. Stacey puts all his time and energy into making sure his girls have what is best for them and that they are happy. He has been a source of great support for me through thick and thin, I always know that if something is wrong I can turn to Stacey and he will help. He has always told me to stick to my morals. Yes, that could mean I will jobs because of it, but it shows integrity and character. I really appreciate that he wants me to stay true to myself and not change what I believe in, just to get further in the industry. I trust Stacey NO matter what and I know he always wants what is best for me, not necessarily what will make him more money.

I have built a strong friendship with Stacey, which is extremely important to me and rare in this industry as i have seen around the world. I have NEVER been just another girl. He is one of my closest friends in the industry and so much more than an agent. He is someone I would go out of my way to help in a heartbeat because that is what he has always done for me. PERIOD.

Thank you Stacey for seeing my potential, and for always looking out for me.

With Much Love,

McKenzi Hendricks

Hi Melinda, thanks for the clarification on Stacey. Here's why we're asking. McKenzie takes her classes for school on line so isn't tied to a regular academic schedule. Since we live close to Grants Pass, McKenzie wants to go down to Stacey's next week and help him. We know he's got six kids and that his wife owns her own company and is also busy, and this accident has got to be traumatic for everyone. Stacey knows McKenzie well enough to know she's absolutely responsible and mature and McKenzie feels it is the least she can do considering all the time and effort he has put in for her on her behalf. She really wants to help in some way.

My sister lives in Grants Pass and is coming to visit us this weekend and going home on Monday, December 12th, and could take McKenzie down with her, and take her to Stacey's either Monday afternoon/evening, or Tuesday morning. I've told McKenzie that she should Facebook Stacey and ask him, but it would be nice to get your opinion, too. What do you think?

CHECK OUT PULSE MGMT's Hannah Holman

as she presents the entier markeing and packageing for Premier Model Management F/W 10 Show package. And Posters for London Fashion week! Also Pulse's McKenzi hailing from Portland Oregon.

Premier makes a bold bid to brand the agency around London Fashion Week with a beautifully done body of graphic design. That design embellishes not only London Fashion week as an event, it positions Premier as an agency of choice to source some of the best models on the market right now. Think Pulse Mgmt's Hannah Holman, Lyndsey Scott and Tao as the great case-in-points for that proposition. Those girls in addition to Ieva, Jeneil and Katrint are featured in the keepsake poster here but rest assured, every Premier girl boast deep London cool this season.
