“Hey Sophia, I’ve been following your new nutrition program for the past month, but I’m not seeing results like I expected. I’ve spent a lot on your custom workout plans and nutrition guides, but I’m starting to wonder if this is all just generic advice you give everyone. No offense, but I could get this kind of content for free on YouTube. I’m thinking about canceling my subscription when it renews next week unless you can convince me there’s actual value here.
