Stories & Testimonials

Over 10 years ago, at 51, I was post-menopausal, dealing with hypothyroidism for many years, low energy, mood swings, food cravings, poor sleep, increasing body fat, and gaining weight year after year. I felt like my age and hormones were working against me! 😩 Then I discovered the Metabolic Reset! With one simple decision to try something new (not just another ‘diet’), I got my ENERGY back, released my menopause body fat and all the other crazy metabolic dysfunction my body had been experiencing with it! I was even BIKINI READY by summer! 👙💃🏼 Now, at 62, I’m still sharing this journey because it’s about so much more than weight loss. It’s about building healthier habits, supporting your metabolism, and feeling better in your own skin! Reset. Refine. Renew. 💙 Three Phases, one incredible journey, and a reminder that it’s never too late to invest in yourself! If my story gives just one person hope that change is possible, sharing it is SO worth it! 🙌🏼

Back in 2020 I was at the lowest in my health and self esteem. Just buried my last family member during of heart attacks starting in their 40s. I was struggling with constant headaches, hip pain, struggling with cholesterol and blood pressure. Reached out to my coach she helped me reverse all the above symptoms and I gained energy and good sleep again! But the biggest thing is I’m the healthiest at 66 I’ve ever been no heart issues and I’m on no meds. All my metabolic markers are green and in excellent range and I am younger than 66!! Now I can show up to be the active and vibrant Nana I dreamed of being!

I started this journey because I wanted to fit into my 60th birthday dress. I didn’t know how I was going to do it, but I knew I had a goal. I was introduced to the program a while back by my neighbor and at that time I just couldn’t afford it, but again the clock ticking on my countdown. So back in August 2026, I said to myself that my birthday is around the corner and you have no time left to fit into that dress. I made the call and here I am 2 months later fitting into my birthday dress. Pictures after my birthday of how stunning that dress looks and how had I work to get into it. Thank you God for NEVER leaving my side on this journey. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13.

I used to be the “fat girl on a diet,” trying to hate myself skinny… until I became a woman in pursuit of a better life, loving herself to health. On May 25, 2020, I stepped on the scale and saw 265lbs. But what scared me most was how far away from myself I felt. I didn’t recognize the woman in the mirror. The brain fog was overwhelming. I was short of breath, physically hurting, and emotionally exhausted. Fatty liver. High cholesterol. High blood pressure. Prediabetes. My doctor even suspected congestive heart failure, which, thankfully, wasn’t the case. As a nurse, I thought I should know how to help myself. But knowing and doing are two different things. I needed someone to help me put that knowledge into action. My coach wasn’t a nurse. She was someone I could lean on when I couldn’t find my own way. I said yes to getting help, without knowing how much that decision would change. I released 120lbs. At 50, I felt healthier than I had at 30. Today I’m paddle boarding, doing yoga, and hiking. Things I once could only wish for are things I actually get to do. Normal bloodwork. No medications. Energy to participate in the life I used to watch from the sidelines. The steps were simple. Doing them wasn’t always easy. My journey hasn’t been a straight line, and 6 years later, I’m still learning how to care for myself through every chapter, even the messy ones. The weight I released is part of my story. So is learning that my worth was never measured in pounds. And these pictures? They’re my “becoming” pictures. They show where I started and where I am today. There’s still so much life I want to live. My goal now? To become the grandmother legends are made of. I don’t have grandchildren yet, but you better believe I’m in training!

My 4th baby. My most different postpartum journey yet. 💛 I delivered my fourth baby on May 8th, and just 48 hours later, I made the decision to commit to taking care of me during my postpartum recovery. This pregnancy took a lot out of me. I struggled with severe brain fog, extremely low energy, and terrible sleep. I was waking up nearly every hour throughout the night and never truly felt rested. Mentally and physically, I knew my body needed support. Less than four months into my postpartum journey, I have: Lost 45 pounds Dropped my visceral fat by 6 levels Lost only 1 pound of muscle mass Gone from constant brain fog to feeling mentally clear ✨ Gone from extremely low energy to having consistent energy throughout my entire day ✨ Gone from waking every hour to experiencing some of the deepest, most restorative sleep I’ve had But this journey has been about so much more than the numbers. Having a supportive community surrounding me and consistent accountability alongside me has made such a difference. I haven’t had to navigate postpartum or my health journey alone. After four pregnancies, I can confidently say this postpartum experience has felt completely different. I’m incredibly thankful I decided just 48 hours after delivery that my health deserved to be a priority too. I didn’t just want to lose the pregnancy weight. I wanted my energy, clarity, strength, sleep, and health back. And less than four months later, I am feeling more like myself again. 💛

I thought I’d be another statistic, especially after menopause. Just like everyone said… The truth? My past attempts failed because they weren’t realistic. I didn’t have time to spend hours in the gym, count every calorie, or live by rigid food rules. Not as a busy RN, teacher, wife, mom to grown kids, and Gigi managing all the seasons of life. Everything changed when I stopped chasing weight loss and started focusing on metabolic health. Instead of asking, “How can I eat less?” I started asking, “How can I help my body work better?” I found a simple nutrition plan, a coach, a supportive community, and a mindset rooted in abundance instead of deprivation. Now I can stay consistent,even on my hardest days. At 63, I’m healthier, stronger, and have more energy than I did years ago. This new picture isn’t about perfection, it’s a reminder of what can happen when you take care of your metabolism instead of fighting against it. I’m now in the “green” with all my metabolic numbers, including a visceral fat of 2 and a metabolic age in the 50’s!

Before you keep scrolling… This is for the woman who’s been watching my posts but never liking them. Not because you don’t care. But because hitting “like” feels like admitting that something needs to change. I’ve been her. The woman who convinced herself she was just “built this way.” The one hiding behind oversized clothes because they felt safer than putting on something that actually fit. The one avoiding pictures. Avoiding mirrors. Avoiding making plans because I didn’t feel good in my own body. I told myself it was my hormones. My genetics. My schedule. My metabolism. Maybe you’ve told yourself the same thing. For years, I believed I would always be the pear-shaped girl with the big hips and stubborn weight. I thought that was just who I was. But what I know now is… Weight wasn’t the problem. My metabolism was. When I finally started fueling my body the way it actually needed, everything began to change. I released over 30 pounds. I preserved my muscle. My energy came back. I slept deeper than I had in years. My brain fog lifted. The constant battle with food finally got quieter. And for the first time in a long time, I felt like my body was working with me instead of against me. Here’s what I want you to hear: You are not disqualified. Not because you’ve failed before. Not because you’re busy. Not because you’re in your 40s or 50s. Not because your hormones feel like they’re working against you. Your story isn’t over. If you’re tired of wondering why your body isn’t responding… Let’s stop guessing. Send me a message. I’ll send you my complimentary metabolic assessment, and together we’ll figure out what may actually be keeping you stuck. If it looks like I can help, I’ll walk you through your options. If not, I’ll point you in the right direction. And one more thing… If this post made you feel a little called out, it’s because I’m talking to the version of myself that spent years making the same excuses. Not because she was lazy. Because she genuinely believed she was out of options. She wasn’t. And neither are you.

I always struggled with getting below a certain number on the scale. I’ll put it to you this way, I couldn’t ride a horse or do a zip line because of my weight. I tried Keto, Paleo, Akins…you name it, I tried it. Trilivy not only got me under that obnoxious 250 mark but I’m down 40 lbs since June 15th. I’ve changed my target 4x already because I keep getting such good results. I’m just getting started!

I have struggled with my weight most of my life and have tried many other weight loss plans that worked temporarily. I have also been a fitness instructor for the past 8 years, which I started at 50 to be a model that you could be older and overweight and still be able to work out. Even with all of this I could not move the weight. I have gained so much more than losing weight. I feel better and have more energy. My bloodwork levels are in normal range. My decision to become a coach has been rooted in being able to help others improve their health, just like I help others with being a nurse.

Life has a way of taking you places you never planned to go. As a kid and into my 30s, I was the guy who couldn't sit still. Football. Baseball. Racquetball. Boxing. Bodybuilding…I didn't watch sports, I did them. I'd climb anything. Jump off (almost) anything. And like most young guys, I believed was bulletproof. Turns out... gravity and birthdays eventually collect their dues. A silly work accident led to a back surgery that didn't go as planned. And just like that, the game changed. For about the next 15years, I struggled. 60-70 pounds overweight High blood pressure Terrible sleep Constant fatigue Four years of vertigo that made even everyday life exhausting. What frustrated me most was this... I kept doing all the things that used to work. I'd diet harder. I'd fast longer. I'd run for what hours. Instead of fixing the problem, I was pouring gasoline on the wrong fire. Looking back, I didn't have the words for it then, but I was a walking billboard for metabolic dysfunction. My metabolism, the thing that used to burn hot without me thinking about it, had become a pile of smoldering embers. I'd lose weight slowly. Then it would come back faster. Usually bringing friends. Then, almost 15 years ago, I was introduced me to a completely different approach, and my life hasn't been the same since! Today, at 66 years old, I'm healthier, stronger, and more mobile than I was in my 40s. No more XXX shirts No more hiding in the back of pictures No more finding excuses to keep my shirt on at the pool No more judging the man staring back in the mirror Here's what I've learned... This isn't about trying to become the 25-year-old version of yourself again. It's about becoming the healthiest version of yourself now. That's who Trilivy was created for. For the 99% who live in REAL LIFE. For people like you & me. Health for the rest of us. 💙

My health journey has never been a straight line. 💗 My highest weight was 350 pounds. I’ve released over 200 pounds, had ups, downs and some rebound and I’m still working on becoming my healthiest version. Just 6 weeks into my journey, I started coaching. Not because I had it all figured out, but because I knew helping others would help keep ME accountable too. I loved the community. But the BEST results aren’t numbers on the scale. They’re the things I once couldn’t do, or never thought I’d experience: ✨ Crossing my legs ✨ No more seatbelt extender ✨ Shopping in regular-size clothing ✨ Sitting comfortably in restaurant booths ✨ Normal A1C ✨ Stable blood pressure ✨ Visceral fat in a healthy range ✨ Walking and climbing stairs without getting winded ✨ Wearing regular calf boots ✨ Feeling stronger and building muscle ✨ Simply being able to LIVE in a body that lets me do more And as a nurse, that’s where this journey has become even more meaningful to me. The scale is only one tiny piece of the picture. I care about metabolic health, blood sugar, blood pressure, visceral fat, preserving muscle, movement, sleep, nutrition and the everyday habits that support our health for the long haul. Eight years later, I’m still coaching, still learning and still working the program. Because my goal was never just to become smaller. I wanted to become healthier and build a life my body could actually keep up with. 💗

I have battled with weight loss, diabetes, and other health related issues for many years. Three years ago I had thyroid removal surgery and started Mounjaro for my diabetes. The weight started coming off, but I didn’t look or feel healthy. In May 2026 I reached out to a couple I followed on Facebook about their journey. Little did I know that would be the start of mine. I didn’t make excuses and I was ready to finally feel better. Since May 9th I have lost 30 lbs- but the real wins have been no more inflammation, I am off my diabetes and acid reflux meds, my visceral fat is down from 9 to 3, body fat is in a healthy range, and my muscle mass has remained! For the first time in probably forever, all of my metabolic numbers are in a healthy place! And the best part- I feel amazing and have more energy than ever! My sleep is amazing too! The only thing I can say is that I wish I would have started sooner! I not only found myself, I found an amazing community and accountability partners for life!

I have struggled with my weight all my adult life. I have tried many fad diets from Plexus, Herbalife, Happy Coffee, to protein shakes. Yes, I did lose weight on all these. However my mindset was Not where it should be I gained the weight I had lost plus more The eating healthy habits soon faded away; as the weight started piling back on My weight had staggered back to 223.6 lbs I was miserable I felt bloated all the time I was up and down all hours of the night I took frequent naps I had no energy I had no desire to get up and go Finally I broke the camels back To finding the new me I was scrolling through FB I came upon a post from Sarah Dixon She was losing weight and getting healthy Her progress was stunning to me I wanted that for my life I reached out to Sarah She shared her journey with me Plus she guided my steps to getting healthy myself Thank you Lord for sending Sarah Dixon into my life!!

Thank you Trilivy for the new me May God bless your life

You know what’s wild? I came here for a diet. That’s it. I just wanted to lose some weight and feel better in my body. But what I found…completely changed my life. I didn’t just get a “plan.” I got real nutrition guidance that finally made sense. I got structure when my life felt all over the place. I got community when I didn’t even realize how much I needed people in my corner. And then, something unexpected happened. I didn’t just change my body. I changed the way I think. I became someone who speaks to herself like someone she loves. Not with criticism… but with respect, patience, and truth. I found purpose. I found confidence. I found a way to create income by helping others change their lives too. And because I said yes to coaching… It’s no longer just my life that’s different. I’ve had the honor of walking alongside hundreds of people as they transform theirs. Let that sink in for a second. I came for a diet… But I stayed for the transformation. Physically. Mentally. Emotionally. Financially. And now? This is just what I do. If you’re sitting there thinking you just “need to lose some weight”… Just know… it might turn into something so much bigger 🔥 This was never just about me. And that’s exactly why it worked.🙏🏼♥️✨

I used exercise as a means to mask my horrible habits growing up as an athlete, but when I graduated from college and began my teaching career, my weight gradually spiraled downhill. 200 became 240 quickly, and when I became a dad and survival mode kicked in, 270-280 became the new normal. Trying to exercise my weight off, I herniated a disc in my back in my early 40s, and my weight ballooned north of 300 pounds. I didn’t realize that I was because I was avoiding the reality of the situation. But surviving a health scare was the motivation I needed to commit to changing. I wanted to see my teenagers graduate from high school and college and perhaps get married someday. I didn’t want another man walking my daughters down the aisle or being the role model for my son. I wanted that. This program gave me that. With the help of my coach, it took me eight months to the day that I started to reset my metabolism and wave goodbye to 106 pounds. This program not only saved my life, but it taught me how to live better. It helped me realize that I was capable of so much more than what I was settling for. It started out as losing weight, but it was really about gaining life and becoming the best person that I could be!

Five years ago, I was packing for a summer vacation…and I couldn’t put together seven outfits because nothing in my closet fit. Even my husband’s 3X clothes were snug. Most days, I didn’t want to get out of bed because that meant getting dressed and trying to find something that fit was exhausting. My joints hurt. I was winded just walking my dogs around the block. And I was embarrassed. That vacation became a turning point. At 318 lbs, I struggled to fasten my seat belt on the plane. I barely fit in restaurant booths. And I couldn’t do activities like ziplining with my son because I didn’t meet the weight requirement. When I got home, I immediately called an acquaintance I had been watching on Facebook as she shared her transformation. I knew she had helped a couple of my colleagues, so I reached out and asked for help. That one phone call changed everything. It didn’t take long to notice positive changes as I learned to embrace the simplicity of the program. The pounds started coming off. I began sleeping better. I had more energy throughout the day. I first learned how to be accountable to someone else, my coach, as I was building trust with myself. Clothes started fitting. I had OPTIONS. And I had a smile on my face again. Fast forward five years, and I went on to lose half of my body weight and leave behind the morbidly obese title I had carried with me for decades. My high cholesterol was reversed, and I no longer have the conversations at the doctor’s office about whether I need to consider medication. But the biggest transformation wasn’t on the scale. My kids got a more present mom. The mom who says YES to amusement rides. The mom who hikes with them. The mom who runs 5Ks with them instead of making excuses for why she can’t or won’t. The mom who has the energy to participate in life instead of watching it from the sidelines. Five years ago, I thought I was signing up to lose weight. I had no idea I was signing up to get my life back. I am forever grateful for this program, for the people who helped me along the way, and for the decision I made five years ago to simply pick up the phone and ask for help. Because sometimes, one decision really can change everything

Four years ago, I started because I wanted to lose weight. I had no idea how much more of my life needed to change. I was exhausted. My sleep was poor, my gut was a mess, and I felt anxious and uncomfortable in my own body. I wanted to be a healthier, more present mom, but I didn’t know how to get there. With a simple nutrition structure, consistent habits, and a coach in my corner, I lost over 65 pounds. What matters just as much to me is that I’ve maintained that loss for almost four years. I learned how to keep showing up for myself, even when life got hard. Since then, I’ve also been diagnosed with celiac disease, mixed connective tissue disease, and lupus. Living with autoimmune conditions has made me pay closer attention to how I feel, not just what the scale says. My metabolic health journey has included watching my body composition, building strength, and celebrating changes in my energy, sleep, and how my clothes fit. Recently, I looked at my own scale and saw that none of my metabolic numbers were in the red anymore. That was a moment I won’t forget. I still have hard days. But I’m no longer waiting to feel motivated before I care for myself. Structure, support, and consistency have helped me become stronger physically and more confident in the woman I am. I started this journey hoping to change my weight. I stayed because it changed the way I live. 💙 If you’re tired of feeling stuck and want to understand what’s going on beyond the number on the scale, reach out to me. I’d love to hear your story and help you find a place to start. — Andrea Dumas

Nine years ago, I was a busy, newly single mom raising three teenage boys. I was exhausted, my joints ached, I wasn’t sleeping well, and despite working out, my weight kept creeping up. My clothes no longer fit. I was told it was my age, and I almost accepted that. Then I saw my coach share her health journey and thought, Maybe I should give this a try. I started the program in May 2017. By the end of June, I had lost nearly 20 pounds. But the weight loss was only part of the story. Within the first week, I felt a difference. My joints felt better, my energy was steady throughout the day, and I was sleeping through the night. I even realized I’d been living with brain fog only after it began to clear! I felt more present for my boys and had more energy for my work as a physical therapist. Today, I understand much more about metabolic health and the steps I can take to lower my risk of chronic disease. I’m so grateful I found a plan that helped me feel like myself again..and taught me habits I could carry with me for life.

I started this journey wanting to lose weight. I never expected to find myself in the process. I lost 50 pounds, but what I gained has meant even more. For years, so much of my identity was wrapped up in being a mom, a wife, a teacher, and the person who took care of everyone else. Somewhere along the way, I had lost a little connection with me. This journey gave that back. I found energy. I found clarity. I found confidence. I found a community that made me feel supported and connected. And most importantly, I found a version of myself that feels happy, present, and fully alive. The physical transformation is easy to see in these pictures. But the biggest transformation is the woman standing on the other side of them.

When I started I was morbidly obese at 274 lbs 5’2.” With Endometriosis & PCOS, chronic inflammation, fatigue & insulin resistance was my story. Now I’ve lost more than 130 lbs, my energy has never been better, and I’ve built metabolic flexibility, something I never knew I could have. This program saved my life.

Two photos. Two very different versions of me. ❤️ The woman on the left was tired, puffy and stressed. I had low energy and brain fog, was taking anti-anxiety medication and often used wine to cope. I avoided the camera. And in the few pictures that were taken, I barely recognize myself. I thought I was starting a weight loss journey. What I gained was a lifestyle that changed how I feel and how I show up every day. Almost seven years later, I’ve kept the weight off. When stress hits, I work out and use the tools I’ve learned through Dr. A’s Habits of Health. At 60, I’m fit, strong and full of energy. I don’t need naps to get through the day. I work, volunteer, and keep up with my grandkids and puppy. My scale even estimates my metabolic age at five years younger than my actual age! I came for the weight loss. I gained a life I can fully show up for. I’m THRIVING. 💪🏼

When I look at these three pictures, I don’t just see three different versions of my body. I see three different chapters of my life. And each chapter taught me something completely different about health, nutrition, and what my body was capable of. RESET About eight years ago, I knew something had to change. Life had gotten busy. I was a husband, a dad, building a career and taking care of everything around me. Somewhere along the way, I stopped taking care of myself the way I should have. My nutrition slipped. My habits changed. I gained weight. My energy wasn’t where I wanted it to be. I knew I needed more than another diet. I needed a metabolic reset. I needed to simplify things, get control of my nutrition, create structure, and give my body what it needed consistently. So I committed to a structured nutrition program, followed the process, and lost about 40 pounds of body fat in roughly eight weeks. But the biggest transformation wasn’t just what happened on the scale. I was learning how my body responded to proper nutrition. I was building better habits. I was creating consistency. I had structure and accountability for probably the first time in a long time. RESET was about creating a new foundation. And once that foundation was there, I realized this journey could go much further. REFINE This is where things really started to change for me. I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life feeling like I was constantly dieting. I wanted freedom. But I also learned that freedom didn’t mean having no boundaries. I had freedom with guardrails. I had a structure that kept me grounded, but within those guardrails, I started learning to trust my body again. Over time, I began eating more food. I increased my calories. I learned that food wasn’t something I needed to fear. Instead of constantly thinking that eating more would automatically cause me to go backward, I learned how to fuel my body based on what I was asking it to do. As my training progressed and I built more muscle, my nutritional needs changed too. And because I had spent years working on my habits and metabolic health, I found that my body could handle more food and more calories while I continued working toward my goals. That was incredibly freeing. I wasn’t trying to live on the least amount of food possible. I was learning how to fuel the strongest, healthiest version of myself. That’s what REFINE means to me. Take the foundation you built during the reset and learn how to live with it. More flexibility. More freedom. More food. More strength. More muscle. But still having those guardrails that keep you from slowly drifting back into the habits that got you into trouble in the first place. And somewhere during those years, the goal changed. It wasn’t about losing weight anymore. It became about seeing what else I was capable of. RENEW Eight years after beginning this journey, I decided to challenge myself in a way I never could have imagined when I took that first picture. I stepped onto a bodybuilding stage. In June 2026, I competed in Men’s Physique Masters 40 to 49. There were nine competitors. I was the oldest man on that stage. And I medaled. But as proud as I am of that medal, the medal isn’t what makes that picture special to me. It’s knowing where I started. The guy standing on that stage came from the guy standing in front of that Christmas tree. Think about that. When I started this journey, I wasn’t dreaming about bodybuilding competitions. I wanted to lose weight. I wanted to feel better. I wanted my health back. I had no idea where that first decision would eventually take me. And maybe that’s the biggest lesson of all. You don’t need to know what the finish line looks like when you start. You just need to be willing to take that first step. You RESET and rebuild the foundation. You REFINE and learn how to create freedom while still having guardrails. And then you RENEW by challenging yourself to become someone you may not have believed was possible when you started. I’m still learning. I’m still growing. I’m still challenging myself. And I’m definitely not finished. Because these three pictures aren’t really a before and after. They’re a before, a becoming, and a reminder that there is always another level. RESET. REFINE. RENEW. And then keep going.

I was the LAST person who was supposed to love this program. I had ALL the objections. • It comes in packets. • What ingredients are even in there. • That's not real food. • I don't do processed. Ma'am. 👀 I was sitting at home eating double stuffed Oreos, swinging through Chick-fil-A drive through, and pulling break & bake cookies out of the oven like THOSE didn't come in a package too. 🤪 The audacity was truly unmatched. I was so convinced I was "beyond" needing a structured program. That I could do it on my own. That I ate too "clean" for something like this. And yet I was still carrying weight I couldn't shift. Still exhausted. Still starting over every few weeks with a new "whole foods reset" that lasted about four days before I lost all control. It wasn't until I was three months into a “salad diet”, down a grand total of 3 pounds, and completely losing my mind - that I finally said fine. Sign me up. SO many of my objections were just... wrong. My ego was loud. But God's grace was louder. Eight years later. 40 pounds later. Two babies later. Healthier and stronger at 41 than I ever was in my 30s. Still occasionally eating an Oreo. But now I actually understand what my body needs - and realize that before I was just too proud to ask for help getting there. I’m so glad that changed.

1 am SO THANKFUL I said yes! I sure don't miss... being sick and afraid I was going to die, being exhausted all the time, shaking so bad I couldn't write a legible check, having no confidence, not fitting in my clothes, having dry dull skin and my hair thinning, taking dangerous medication which required monthly labs to make sure it didn't damage my organs and driving 3 hours to see my specialist in Denver once a month. Making the decision to take care of my body and mind is not always easy but it is ALWAYS worth it! When I said yes to my metabolic reset, I gained total remission. I no longer take any medications and I only have to see my doctor once a year for a wellness physical. The only regret have... waiting so long to get started. What are you waiting for?

For years I said, "I'll start on Monday." BUT.... Monday always came and went... I didn't get started on my health journey until I had a major health crisis and then I sure didn't wait for Monday to roll around, I started on a Thursday. The only regret I have is that I didn't start sooner. I could have avoided years of being sick, living in constant pain and costly medical bills. I was lucky! Many wait until it's too late.

We had hit our mid 40’s, and suddenly we had weight and inches in places we’d never had weight or inches! Brad had been born with a metabolism that would rival the burning of Rome, and it suddenly was betraying him. I had migraines, brain fog, leaky gut, food allergies, poor sleep, some anxiety and depression over it, and suddenly P-90x was not creating the results it had always produced. If I didn’t have to do something which, I was going to have to change pant sizes, something I had not done since junior high! Yep! I was one of “THOSE” people born with seemingly magical genes. But suddenly my JEANS weren’t fitting! We decided we could put this off another year or two or take control now! (I thank God we did, or Brad very likely would not be here now, as you will read further down.) And what perfect timing! We had a beach vacation coming up in three months and I was NOT going to go feeling like this! We jumped in with both feet! We actually started two days before Brad’s 50th birthday! Our kids were aghast that he would not get birthday cake for the big 5-0! I told them since none of them were home to celebrate anyway, it really didn’t matter. I asked my coach how long it would take to lose 15-17 lbs and could we be in and even through transition by vacation time. She thought we could, so we hit it. The hardest part was not exercising. That seemed so foreign! But my body had to reset in more ways than one. (I’m so thankful for those EAA’s now so new clients CAN exercise and stay in fat burn!) We didn’t deviate from plan even once! It was FUN! As empty nesters this bonded us again minus the kids. Doing it together made all the difference, I think. And we could help each other stay on course. And….we did it! Brad lost 30 lbs and was back to his high school weight! I lost 17 and had more energy than I ever had in my 20’s and 30’s! ✅ Leaky gut - GONE! ✅ Migraines - GONE! ✅ Food allergies - GONE! ✅ Insomnia - GONE! ✅ Brain fog - GONE! ✅ Depression and mood swings - GONE! ✅ Hormones - BALANCED! ✅ Metabolic age 5 years younger! I could go on and on! And Brad? Well, I say this saved his life. We did the 5&1 program in 2019. In 2021 he had a massive stroke at our son’s wedding. It took doctors a week to figure out why he had it. His cholesterol was a dream! He had zero plaque in any arteries anywhere. They had to dig deeper than they would have done had he still been “fat, 50’s and high cholesterol”. They found he had a hole in his heart from birth, surgery fixed it and he is risk free! Doctors say he should be a vegetable, unable to walk or dead. God said otherwise, and we believe that His leading to Brad to do this program (who was the LAST person anyone would have ever predicted would do any sort of program like this. His program for his entire metabolic fire-burning life had been “leave no crumbs behind and lick the platter clean”!) most likely saved his life! This program works! Every time! For everyone who follows it.

I thought losing 30 pounds was going to be the transformation. Eight years later, I know it was only the beginning. RESET My journey started in December 2018, after having our third son. I was approximately 30 pounds heavier, carrying most of it through my belly, exhausted, uncomfortable in my body, and struggling with brain fog. I did not need more motivation. I needed a structure that would address what was happening metabolically. During my Reset, I changed how I was eating and lost the 30 pounds in approximately three months. But I lost far more than weight. My belly fat and visceral fat decreased. My metabolic age dropped. The brain fog lifted. My energy came back in a way I had almost forgotten was possible. I went from dragging myself through the day to having energy for days. Most importantly, I reversed the metabolic dysfunction that had been keeping my body stuck. At the time, I thought reaching my goal weight meant I had finished. I had actually just begun. REFINE Losing the weight was one thing. Learning how to maintain those results without returning to the habits and metabolic dysfunction that created them required an entirely different set of skills. During Refine, I intentionally brought foods back in, increased my calories, learned what my body needed, and created a way of eating that I could sustain in real life. I stopped living in the all or nothing cycle. For the first time, maintenance was not something I hoped would happen. It was something I understood how to create. RENEW Eventually, the number on the scale was no longer enough for me. I wanted to change what my body was made of and discover what it was capable of doing. During Renew, I shifted my focus toward body composition, metabolic health, strength, muscle, and performance. I continued reducing my body fat and visceral fat while increasing my skeletal muscle, strength, and calories. At 42, while raising three boys, I trained for and competed in my first fitness competition. Not because I needed to become smaller. Because I wanted to become stronger. Eight years later, I have maintained my original transformation, but I am not the same woman who reached that first goal. I have less body fat. Less visceral fat. More skeletal muscle. A lower metabolic age. A clear mind. Energy for days. And a body that is metabolically healthier and stronger than it was eight years ago. Reset helped me reverse the metabolic dysfunction and lose the weight. Refine taught me how to maintain the results. Renew showed me that my body could continue evolving long after the weight was gone. My transformation did not end when I reached my goal weight. That was where it truly began.

This journey was never truly about losing weight it was about finding myself again being happy with the man looking back at me in the mirror getting my energy back and becoming the man i knew i could be losing 50 pounds was just a bonus!

I almost don’t recognize her anymore. And not just because she was 85 pounds heavier. I remember how she FELT. In 2018, I was around 230 pounds, doing CrossFit five days a week and still wondering why nothing was changing. I was exhausted. Swollen. Headaches almost daily. Sleeping terribly. Working three jobs. Grabbing takeout because I was too tired to cook and using wine way too often to decompress. I could literally nap before carpool. But from the outside? I probably looked like I had it all together. I didn’t. Then I made ONE decision. And y’all, my original WHY was not deep. I wanted to wear a bikini in Mexico. I lost 12 pounds the first week, 15 pounds that first month, 70 pounds in less than FIVE months, and eventually 85 pounds total. My waist went from 48 inches to 28 inches. But honestly? The numbers aren’t even the best part of my transformation. I got my energy back. My brain felt clearer. I learned how to take care of myself. I became stronger mentally. I learned that consistency will beat perfection every single freaking time. And somewhere along the way, I stopped chasing SKINNY. Now, 8.5 years later, I’m chasing HEALTH. Muscle. Strength. Metabolic health. Better sleep. Lower visceral fat. Energy. Longevity. I want to LIVE a long time, but more importantly, I want to be able to LIVE while I’m here. And after everything our family has walked through these past few years, I understand that more than ever. I had no idea what I was preparing myself for when I said yes in 2018. I just knew I didn’t want to feel the way I felt anymore. Maybe that’s where you are right now. You don’t need the perfect WHY. You don’t need to have it all figured out. And you definitely don’t have to wait until Monday. Sometimes one decision really can change the trajectory of your life. Mine did.

I spent years wishing things would change, wishing my clothes would fit better, wishing I had more energy, wishing I could feel confident in my own skin. But wishes don’t create change. Decisions do. I finally stopped waiting for the “perfect time” and just started. I didn’t do it perfectly, but I did it consistently. I changed my habits. I asked for help. I found a program that worked for me. And I stuck with it even when it was hard. 145 pounds later… I don’t just feel different. I am different. I’m healthier. I’m stronger. I’m a better mom, wife, and friend. And I’m proof that you don’t have to stay stuck. If you’ve been waiting for a sign this is it. If I can do it, so can you. My full story here https://youtu.be/43P0YqJ70oc

I was miserable , cranky , and tired of breaking the same New Year’s resolution every year. In 2020, driving through TWO fast-food lines in one day was my “rock bottom.” I hide the evidence in my car , underneath the seats . I couldn’t touch my toes. I couldn’t sleep through the night without leg cramps, and my hands were going numb. I was a metabolic mess, and there was no denying I needed to make a change. Thankfully, a friend introduced me to this program and guided me every step of the way. I didn’t just lose 70 pounds. I lost my metabolic dysfunction, my addiction to fast food and the habits that were keeping me stuck. What I gained? Healthier years. Better sleep. Healthier habits. A happier marriage. A community I now call family. And the energy to keep up with my grandson and live the active life I always wanted. This journey gave me so much more than weight loss. It gave me my life back.

I’ve spent years focused on losing weight, and yes, I’ve lost over 75 pounds, but somewhere along the way, my “why” changed. I don’t just want to look good in my clothes; I want to be strong, healthy, and fully present for the life God has given me. I started realizing that the scale was only telling me one tiny part of my story, my muscle matters, my visceral fat matters, and what’s happening on the inside matters. I’ve had to learn to give myself grace, stay consistent, and stop expecting perfection from myself. And little by little, I’m watching my body respond when I give it what it needs. This season isn’t about chasing skinny anymore, it’s about becoming healthy, strong, and well.

My journey didn’t start yesterday, and it certainly hasn’t been a straight line. In December 2020, I started Optavia at 240 pounds. By January 23, 2022, I had reached 192.8 pounds, but I made the decision to stop the program. Financially, I just couldn’t continue at the time. I was paying off my house and new windows, and those had to be my priority. I continued trying to eat the best I could. My original goal had been 140 pounds, and I truly thought I could get there on my own. But for the next couple of years, I found myself right back in that frustrating cycle of yo-yo dieting. I would lose some, gain some back, try something different and start all over again. Finally, I had enough. I was desperate to lose the weight, but nothing I was doing seemed to work. Then one night, my friend Debbie Zickefoose and I were talking about some of the posts she had been sharing on Facebook. I remember thinking, I don’t even know exactly what she’s doing, but I’ll try it! Well…it turned out to be Optavia. 😊 I decided to give it another chance, this time with Debbie as my coach. On May 11, 2025, I restarted at 168.8 pounds, with a goal of reaching 150. The very next week, I had lost 4.4 pounds. I was hooked! But something was different this time. I believed in Debbie, but even more importantly, I believed in myself. I believed so strongly in what I was doing that just two days after starting, on May 13, 2025, I became a coach myself. Why? Because I knew I wasn’t the only person struggling. I wanted to share my success and help others who were struggling with their weight and metabolic health too. And what has happened since then has been about SO much more than losing pounds. As of September 20, 2026, I weighed 142.6 pounds. I used to wear size 24 pants. Today I’m wearing a size 12—and they’re loose! There was a time when I couldn’t bend over and tie my shoes all at once. Now I can. I’ll never forget the day my son asked me why I was breathing so hard. His question caught me off guard, but he was right. I was struggling just to breathe doing everyday things. Today, I walk at least 10,000 steps five days a week, and I’ve added resistance bands to help build strength. My visceral fat score has gone from 7 to 5, and my metabolic age is 68—even though I’m 69.8 years old. But some of my favorite victories can’t be measured by a scale. No more brain fog. No more stubborn fat around my midsection. No more constant cravings for sugar and carbs. For years, my sleep patterns were horrible. Now I sleep like a baby and wake up feeling refreshed. When I look back at the woman who weighed 240 pounds, I don’t just see someone who needed to lose weight. I see a woman who kept trying, even when the journey didn’t go exactly as planned. I stopped. I struggled. I started again. And I’m so thankful I did. Today, I’m not simply celebrating the weight I’ve lost. I’m celebrating the health, strength, energy and life I’ve gained. Most of all, I thank God for leading me back to the right people at the right time and for Optavia—now Trilivy—helping guide me back toward optimal health. At almost 70 years old, I’m still moving forward, still getting stronger, still learning and still helping others believe that change is possible. My story isn’t about being perfect. It’s about refusing to give up on myself. And I’m not finished yet.

I had spent five years trying to exercise off the same 20 pounds! Enter nine weeks of focused nutrition and I had hit my goal. Nine years later, I’m still those 20 lbs down and optimizing everyday!! Simple shifts, balanced nutrition, supportive coaching!

I spent years trying every diet, losing weight, and then and gain it all back again. I was exhausted, achy, had no energy, and had given up on getting healthy. I had decided this is just the way it is when you get older. Then, my friend shared this plan and I decided to try one more thing… Thank goodness I did…After using this plan to lose 65 lbs and learning how to live as a healthy person, I have so much energy, sleep great, and love improving my body composition through lifting weights and doing yoga. I feel like I’ve aged backwards. It’s the best decision I ever made.

My journey started on August 1, 2021. A few months earlier, in May, I had seen a picture of myself with my daughter at her graduation celebration. I remember looking at that picture and feeling so disappointed—not only in the way I looked, but in the way I felt. With her wedding coming up on September 25, I decided I wanted to make a change. At first, my goal was simple: I wanted to look better in the wedding pictures. So I started the program. By my daughter’s wedding day, I had lost 20 pounds. But what surprised me most was that the weight loss became only one part of my story. I was sleeping better. My energy was better. My gut health improved. The brain fog started lifting. My attitude changed. The plantar fasciitis that had caused so much pain in my feet was no longer bothering me, and my blood pressure improved. I remember being almost in disbelief over how much better I felt. And other people were noticing too. When my coach first talked to me about becoming a coach and helping others, I wasn’t completely convinced that coaching was for me. I wondered how many people would really be interested, especially because I worried about the cost of the program. But I also loved the idea that coaching might help keep me accountable in my own journey. And I thought, “If I could just help a few people and maybe make enough to help pay for my own program, that would be great.” So on September 13, 2021, I became a coach. When I made that first launch post, something clicked for me. I realized people had been watching my journey. People were interested. More importantly, people were looking for help. That changed everything. Now, five years later, I’m still coaching. I’ve been able to maintain a 40 pound weight loss, but this journey has given me so much more than a number on the scale. It has changed my body. It has changed the way I think. It has changed me financially. It has given me confidence I didn’t have before. And it has helped me grow into a leader and mentor to other coaches, something I never would have dreamed of when I started. What began as wanting to look better in my daughter’s wedding pictures became a completely different vision for my life. It improved my health. Now I don’t just want to reach my own goals. I want to help other people discover what is possible for them. I want to help people improve their health, believe in themselves, become leaders, create opportunities for their families, and start dreaming bigger than they ever thought they could. That may be one of the greatest lessons this journey has taught me: We need dreams. We need goals. We need hope. And once we accomplish one goal, we shouldn’t be afraid to dream even bigger. I started this journey wanting to lose weight. I never imagined it would help me gain a whole new vision for my life.

The woman on the left… she used food to comfort her grief. She ate when she was sad. She ate when she was celebrating. She ate when she was lonely or bored. She felt hopeless, depressed, and self-conscious. Her body hurt. She was tired all the time. And something as simple as getting up off the floor was a struggle. At 59, she looked at turning 60 and thought, “That sounds old.” She worried about her future. She worried that one day her daughters might have to take care of her. She never wanted to become a burden to them. But then… something shifted. I found a program that fit my budget—and actually saved me money. More importantly, I found a completely different way of looking at food, health, and my future. I learned that this wasn’t just about losing weight. It was about improving my METABOLIC HEALTH. As I changed the way I was eating and living, I saw changes that went far beyond the scale. My blood pressure came down, and I was able to come off my blood pressure medication with my healthcare provider’s guidance. My glucose levels improved. My body composition changed. I became stronger. I had more energy. And I started feeling like ME again. I found support. I found community. I found hope. And little by little, I started helping other people discover what might be possible for them, too. That woman is ME!!!! And today, I’m 64, healthy, strong, confident, and just getting started. Life didn’t end at 60. For me, it got better. I’m not chasing a smaller body just so I can fit into a smaller pair of jeans. I’m working toward a healthier metabolism, a stronger body, more energy, and the ability to enjoy the life I dreamed about. And I want that for YOU, too. Are you ready to feel that spark again? Ready to dream big and feel good in your skin again? There is a plan that could help you take the first step toward better metabolic health—just like I did.

Two pictures. Same family. Completely different life. On the left, we were exhausted. Overweight. Trying to keep up with our girls but constantly feeling like we were falling behind. Between the two of us we were carrying almost 300 pounds of extra weight. (Without picking up our daughters) Gian lost 130 pounds. I lost 145 pounds. But the biggest change wasn’t just the weight. It was the energy. The confidence. The ability to run around with our girls instead of needing to sit down every hour. It was learning how to take care of our bodies instead of fighting them. We didn’t just lose weight. We changed the trajectory of our family. And the craziest part? Neither of us thought we could do this when we started. If you’re looking at this thinking “that could never be me,” I promise you that’s exactly how we felt too.

💛 WHAT I’M HOLDING IN MY HANDS IS WORTH MORE THAN GOLD. This 83 #’s is more than just a card with info on it…That’s how much fat loss occurred on my personal health journey …but the part I’m most proud of?…I’ve sustained those results for over FIVE YEARS. 🙌..losing weight is one thing. Learning how to live in a way that helps you keep the results is where the real transformation happens. So grateful for this health program and community! Debbie

When people hear about my health journey, they often assume the greatest transformation has been physical. That has been a big chunk of it — 35 pounds down. But much of my hardest and most important work has happened in my MIND because of this program. I spent 15+ years “hiding” in my clothes & from pictures. Over the past seven years, I have learned that a healthy body cannot be separated from a healthy mind. And that caring for my health & strengthening my thinking are all connected to living with greater freedom and purpose. Maybe you’re hiding too. Maybe you stay behind the camera, disappear inside your clothes, stay constantly busy or make yourself indispensable so no one notices how uncertain you feel inside. You may not even realize that’s what you’re doing. I sure didn’t. My hope is that this post gives even one person permission to stop hiding, look honestly at what’s underneath it and begin believing they are worthy of being seen. Your life is not supposed to be spent trying to take up less space. You are allowed to be seen—not because you have finally earned it, achieved enough or changed your body—but because you already have value. The bigger journey is finally believing you no longer have to hide from being yourself.

I spent over ten years on thousands of dollars trying to get healthy on my own. At one point I just figured I'd exercise until I died and if I only gained five pounds a year, I'd consider it a win. I'd given up. I believed my best years were from two decades ago. It was so depressing. Until this plan. This holistic system did not just help me release over 50 lbs of fat. It reversed the root issue, Metabolic Dysfunction. It created a life I had no idea I could still live. This is the longest in my adult life I've maintained a healthy weight, BMI, and can't believe sometimes what my body can do at the gym at the age of 50. My labs are fantastic too! I did not even know I had brain fog and poor sleep until the brain fog lifted and I was waking up rested and ready to conquer the day. I’ve learned how to manage emotions and stress without them dictating how I live. I am the healthiest now at the age of nearly 51 in every way–not just physically but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I needed simplicity and a proven plan. I was exhausted at getting no results and nothing felt sustainable. I love how I’ve moved through the Reset in 2022, into Refine in 2023, and then have moved into our third metabolic health stage, Renew, where I continually am adjusting my nutrition to fit my goals that change occasionally. This program with the education and the gift of training your body to receive everything it needs, I developed confidence and I’m empowered to work with whole foods, knowing how to put things together for balanced nutritional meals and snacks. Why keep doing what I did, letting years go by, expecting different results, when you are literally weeks and months away from finding freedom again? Life is not promised. "One day" might never come. Let it start now. Help is ready for you. If you feel you are drowning in life, we can help.

Six years ago I lost 73 pounds and have kept it off and plus a few more. At 66 my visceral fat is at a 5! I have all green markers on my metabolic scan. I am even lower in my metabolic age. This is huge because with family history of cardio vascular disease reducing visceral fat around my heart and other organs has helped reduce my likelihood of heart attack. The thing I love the most is I am on no meds and for a woman in her mid 60s that is unusual. The energy I have to show up as a present and fun Nana means everything to me!

I know what it feels like to think... "Maybe this is just how my body is now." I thought hypothyroidism meant I'd never lose the weight. Then pregnancy at almost 40 came, and I found myself having to fight for my health all over again. I know what it's like to feel exhausted, frustrated, overwhelmed, and like your body isn't responding no matter how hard you try. I know what it's like to put everyone else first and wonder if you'll ever feel like you again. I've lost over 100 pounds, but the greatest transformation wasn't the weight…. It was getting my energy back. Sleeping better. Feeling more confident. Keeping up with my son. And finally feeling like me again. I didn't need another diet. I needed a different approach. And it changed everything. If you've been wondering if it's still possible to feel good in your body again... I hope my story reminds you that it is.

Metabolic Dysfunction to me didn’t look like anything wrong at the doctors office. But I FELT it on the inside. Postpartum Depression. Anxiety. Exhausted & overstimulated keeping up with my twin toddlers. I’d snap at my family for random things. And my jeans wouldn’t zip up. I didn’t understand what metabolic dysfunction was or why I needed to prioritize my muscle. I just wanted to feel good again. Within the first week of starting the reset, I really did feel different. Exhaustion was replaced with energy. I had patience. I lost 5 pounds of fat in week 1. Those jeans zipped up. And I had Peace. I reversed my metabolic dysfunction. And my body healed at the root. This is sustainable for real life as a mom. Over 5 years later and I still feel amazing. Better at 35 than I was at 25. Metabolic age 31 #hellomorequalityyears Less inflammation. Less pain. 40lbs less fat. 6lbs more muscle mass. Visceral fat dropped down to a 2 #hellohealing More energy. Deeper sleep. No more depression & anxiety. More, “I can wear whatever I want to and feel good in it.” This feels like the real me postpartum! Feeling peace on the inside. For everyone that is watching waiting for me to fail. I didn’t and you won’t either if you trust your coach. Give this 30 days to change your life.

This transformation was never just about losing 50 pounds. Yes, I went from around 230 pounds to the 180s. But what I'm most proud of can't be measured by the scale. My body fat went from around 30% to consistently under 20%. My visceral fat....the dangerous fat surrounding our organs...went from the teens to below 5. At 51, those numbers mean more to me than fitting into smaller clothes. Because my goal has changed. I'm not asking, “How much do I weigh?” I'm asking… How healthy am I? How strong am I? And how well am I going to live? I have a 14-year-old son. I don't want to just be around as he grows up. I want to be PRESENT. I want energy for my family. I want to travel with my wife. Golf. Lift. Laugh. Explore. And actually LIVE as I get older. I'm not trying to become 25 again. I'm building the strongest, healthiest version of the 51-year-old me…so hopefully the 61-, 71-, and 81-year-old versions of me get to enjoy it. 50 pounds lost is pretty cool. But feeling stronger, healthier and more present for the people I love? That's the transformation I'm most proud of. ❤️ Progress, not perfection. It's not just about how long you live…it's how well you live while you're here.

I thought I’d be another statistic, especially after menopause. Just like everyone said… The truth? My past attempts failed because they weren’t realistic. I didn’t have time to spend hours in the gym, count every calorie, or live by rigid food rules. Not as a busy RN, teacher, wife, mom to grown kids, and Gigi managing all the seasons of life. Everything changed when I stopped chasing weight loss and started focusing on metabolic health. Instead of asking, “How can I eat less?” I started asking, “How can I help my body work better?” I found a simple nutrition plan, a coach, a supportive community, and a mindset rooted in abundance instead of deprivation. Now I can stay consistent,even on my hardest days. At 63, I’m healthier, stronger, and have more energy than I did years ago. This new picture isn’t about perfection, it’s a reminder of what can happen when you take care of your metabolism instead of fighting against it. I’m now in the “green” with all my metabolic numbers, including a visceral fat of 2 and a metabolic age in the 50’s!

I struggled with my weight and healthy habits from the time I was in fifth grade. I was always either “all in” or “all out” with my health, constantly craving carbs and sugar and feeling frustrated that I couldn’t seem to gain control. As I got older, it only became harder. I was finding myself hiding from pictures and not looking forward to activities and events. When I watched a good friend have success with this program, I finally decided I’d had enough and reached out for help. I was shocked by how simple and effective the program was. It took so much of the thought and guesswork out of what to eat, allowing me to focus on small, healthy habits I could actually stick with and build on over time. I lost 50 pounds in 6 months and 7 years later, I’ve maintained that 50-pound weight loss—and, even more importantly, completely changed my relationship with my health. I needed this structure, accountability, and the resources to learn more about metabolic health. I am so grateful to be enjoying life and feeling my best!

I’ve always thought of myself as athletic. High school sports, water skiing, roller derby when I was 40, trying to stay active. But the truth is I quit derby because I couldn’t do it. I’d been clinically obese for over 15 years with everything that goes with it. I was out of breath, exhausted, and very unhappy with myself. My knees hurt and I could not run to save my life. Constant heartburn, headaches, PCOS, pre-diabetes! I wanted to blame it on my age but I couldn’t accept this is just the way it is. I have a family history of heart attacks & cancer, I have a husband, adult kids and a mother I have to be here for. On my own I tried working out, keto, giving up bread and sugar, but something was always missing and I was a miserable failure at getting healthy. I couldn’t stay away from Taco Bell and I didn’t know what to do. When I found Trilivy I thought I can do that! I knew I could and would follow the plan… and it worked, I’m back, baby! Bonus I found BFFs and friends for life on the same journey. I’ve never gone back. Here I am, now 52 years old, living habits of health every day. If you’re reading this and can relate please reach out to me or whomever shared this with you. There is absolutely no reason to ever accept unhappiness in your life!! Much love to you all. 💕💕💕

I thought I was fabulous in my “before” picture. ❤️ And you know what? I was. But six months later, looking back at that woman, I realize I had no idea what fabulous could actually FEEL like. Not just physically. I’m talking about my mind, my body, my health, my confidence, my energy, my finances, my family… my entire life. At 52 years old, I can honestly say this journey has changed so much more than the number on the scale or the size of my clothes. It has changed the way I look at nutrition. It has changed the way I take care of myself. It has changed what I am teaching my boys about health. And it has shown me that a healthy lifestyle really does start at home. My only regret? I wish I would have started sooner. For years, I put my own health and wellness further down the list than it ever should have been. Looking back now, I realize I wasn't just shortchanging myself — I was shortchanging my body, my future, and the example I wanted to set for my family. But I can't change yesterday. I can change what I do today. And that is exactly what I did six months ago. This program, the nutrition, the coaching, and especially this community have given me something I didn't even realize I was missing. And I'm still going. 💪 So if you're looking in the mirror and you're unhappy with what you see… if your clothes don't fit the way you want them to… if you're tired, uncomfortable, frustrated, or simply know you could feel better than you do right now… Please don't convince yourself that this is just how life has to feel as you get older. At 52, I'm learning that there is a whole different version of fabulous — and I'm just getting started. 🔥 If my story speaks to you, reach out. This might just be the beginning you've been waiting for. ❤️

Does your program actually work for the long haul??? YES!!! 🙌🏼💯 12 YEARS LATER and I’m not just maintaining… I’m THRIVING!!! I was 37 on the left. I felt stuck, frustrated, and honestly thought being “fluffy” was just going to be MY LIFE😵‍💫. Then I finally decided to make a HUGE shift. It started with one phone call. One decision. And I’ll forever be grateful I made it. 12 years later, I’m still here. Still growing. Still getting stronger. Still taking care of myself. And that girl on the left? She had NO idea how much her life was about to change. ❤️

Ten years ago, I was in a completely different place.❤️‍🩹😭 I was depressed, discouraged, inflamed, and in pain. I had lost hope and honestly felt lost. I was working out six days a week and trying so hard, yet nothing seemed to work. No matter how much effort I put in, I just wasn’t moving forward!! I remember reaching a point where my whole body hurt so badly that I called three different doctors, asking for pain medication just to help me get through another day of work. Every one of them told me the same thing… “if I could lose weight, I would probably feel so much better.” But here’s the TRUTH: ***I didn’t know how*** Anyone relate? I had tried SO many things and failed so many times that I had started to believe I was beyond hope. I wondered, Why even try? Maybe this is just who I am now?? A failure.😞 I’m so thankful I took one more chance on myself.🙌💯 That decision didn’t just change my weight. It changed my health, my energy, my confidence, my mindset, and ultimately my life. I lost almost 80lbs in 7 month, dropped my visceral fat from 16 to 6 and even my metabolic age has gone down! Plus, I gained a community of support along the way. And now….when I look back at that woman 10 years ago, I don’t see someone who was lazy or weak or a failure. I see a woman who was hurting… and desperately needed hope! Maybe that’s you today. If so, please don’t give up!! Your story isn’t over. Sometimes one decision, one step in a new direction…can change everything! I am living proof that it’s never too late to start again.🩷

Before you keep scrolling… This is for the woman who’s been watching my posts but never liking them. Not because you don’t care. But because hitting “like” feels like admitting that something needs to change. I’ve been her. The woman who convinced herself she was just “built this way.” The one hiding behind oversized clothes because they felt safer than putting on something that actually fit. The one avoiding pictures. Avoiding mirrors. Avoiding making plans because I didn’t feel good in my own body. I told myself it was my hormones. My genetics. My schedule. My metabolism. Maybe you’ve told yourself the same thing. For years, I believed I would always be the pear-shaped girl with the big hips and stubborn weight. I thought that was just who I was. But what I know now is… Weight wasn’t the problem. My metabolism was. When I finally started fueling my body the way it actually needed, everything began to change. I released over 30 pounds. I preserved my muscle. My energy came back. I slept deeper than I had in years. My brain fog lifted. The constant battle with food finally got quieter. And for the first time in a long time, I felt like my body was working with me instead of against me. Here’s what I want you to hear: You are not disqualified. Not because you’ve failed before. Not because you’re busy. Not because you’re in your 40s or 50s. Not because your hormones feel like they’re working against you. Your story isn’t over. If you’re tired of wondering why your body isn’t responding… Let’s stop guessing. Send me a message. I’ll send you my complimentary metabolic assessment, and together we’ll figure out what may actually be keeping you stuck. If it looks like I can help, I’ll walk you through your options. If not, I’ll point you in the right direction. And one more thing… If this post made you feel a little called out, it’s because I’m talking to the version of myself that spent years making the same excuses. Not because she was lazy. Because she genuinely believed she was out of options. She wasn’t. And neither are you.

This girl 9 years ago was so unsure of what health would look like. I signed up to lose 5 pounds… after all I could not lose weight no matter what I tried because of my thyroid disease. Well…. I was so wrong! I have went on to lose 85 pounds and the way a wait to respond to life instead of react to it has completely shifted me as a mom, wife, friend, coach and anything else I get to be! So very thankful I tried 1 more think!

My 4th baby. My most different postpartum journey yet. 💛 I delivered my fourth baby on May 8th, and just 48 hours later, I made the decision to commit to taking care of me during my postpartum recovery. This pregnancy took a lot out of me. I struggled with severe brain fog, extremely low energy, and terrible sleep. I was waking up nearly every hour throughout the night and never truly felt rested. Mentally and physically, I knew my body needed support. Less than four months into my postpartum journey, I have: Lost 45 pounds Dropped my visceral fat by 6 levels Lost only 1 pound of muscle mass Gone from constant brain fog to feeling mentally clear ✨ Gone from extremely low energy to having consistent energy throughout my entire day ✨ Gone from waking every hour to experiencing some of the deepest, most restorative sleep I’ve had But this journey has been about so much more than the numbers. Having a supportive community surrounding me and consistent accountability alongside me has made such a difference. I haven’t had to navigate postpartum or my health journey alone. After four pregnancies, I can confidently say this postpartum experience has felt completely different. I’m incredibly thankful I decided just 48 hours after delivery that my health deserved to be a priority too. I didn’t just want to lose the pregnancy weight. I wanted my energy, clarity, strength, sleep, and health back. And less than four months later, I am feeling more like myself again. 💛

It all started when I was 240 pounds. I was exhausted. Inflamed. Dealing with pain, brain fog, autoimmune diseases, high blood pressure and other health issues. I had a torn hamstring, and honestly, I didn't feel like myself anymore. I was busy taking care of everyone else. I was a wife. A mom. An educator. I showed up for everyone. But somewhere along the way… I stopped showing up for me. And I remember wondering if this was just how life was supposed to feel as I got older. Was I always going to be exhausted? Was the pain just part of aging? Was this simply my life now? In January 2022, I made a decision. Not because I had everything figured out. Not because I wasn't scared. And definitely not because I knew how much my life was about to change. I just knew I couldn't keep living the way I was living. So I started. One choice at a time. One day at a time. And over the next eight months, I lost 110 pounds. But let me tell you something… The weight loss wasn't the greatest part of my transformation. Yes, my body changed. But so did everything else. I found my energy again. I found confidence. I found strength I never knew I had. I started doing things I never imagined I would do. And today, at 57 years old, I am stronger than I've ever been physically and mentally. But please don't think this journey has been easy or perfect. I've dealt with injuries. Menopause. Stress. Exhaustion. And this past year, my family's home was destroyed by a tornado. Suddenly, life was anything but normal. No routine. No gym. No kitchen. No normal schedule. And I had to remind myself of everything this journey had taught me. Progress over perfection. Because taking care of my health doesn't mean everything in my life has to be perfect. It means I keep showing up when I can. I make the next best choice. I don't quit because life gets hard. And that's really what my story is about. It's not just about losing 110 pounds. It's about gaining my life back. It's about becoming stronger. Healthier. More confident. More present. And realizing that getting older doesn't mean my best years are behind me. Honestly? I believe some of my best years are happening right now. So if you're sitting there exhausted… Feeling uncomfortable in your body… Wondering if it's too late… Wondering if you can really change… I want you to know something. I understand. Because I've been there. And if I can change my life one decision at a time… Maybe you can too. ❤️

This is me in a past life. 100% real. The memories I have are real too. One of the happiest & most blessed times of my life… but that dark cloud was always with me. That one area I just couldn’t conquer. It’s painful remembering the feelings attached to this picture. Makes me mad at myself for letting it go so long. The worst part is I KNEW WHAT TO DO! And I swear I tried. I really did. With all my heart. Every time I made the decision to change, I MEANT IT!!!! But for whatever reason, I just couldn’t put it all together. All the fitness pros out there on social media shouting the solution… JUST BE DISCIPLINED! COUNT YOUR MACROS! QUIT EATING ALL THAT JUNK!! JUST GET IT TOGETHER!! WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU??? Not helpful. The truth is I was yelling ALL those same things at myself too. Every day. For 10 years!! I promised myself I’d do better tomorrow. Then I’d fail. It tore me up inside. Have you ever felt what it’s like to live in defeat every day? But TRY to hide it so your wife and kids don’t know how much you’re hurting? Or try to hide it with humor so your friends don’t know the battle you’re fighting every day? Let’s be honest. We all KNOW what to do. I knew all about discipline and macros and exercise and strength training and calorie deficits and all the supplements. That stuff isn’t complicated. I just wasn’t doing what I knew I should. And I knew it was my fault. To this day, I can’t tell you why. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I just couldn’t seem to put it all together during that season of my life. But… I’m thankful the story didn’t end there. I’m disciplined NOW. I honor commitments to myself NOW. I don’t eat junk NOW (most of the time). I take the supplements NOW. I work out daily NOW. I own my health NOW!! But back then… I needed a BRIDGE. I needed simplicity. I needed a coach who actually cared. I needed a community that understood. I needed structure that didn’t require a calculus degree to track. I needed something I could still do on my worst day. I needed something that worked for real life. Knowing what to do was never the problem. DOING it was the problem. So next time you’re judging someone who isn’t as fit or “healthy” as you are, remember this… they are judging themselves even more than you are. But they just can’t seem to conquer it. And it’s killing them inside. That’s who we created Trilivy for. For the 99%. For me. For the rest of us. 🫶🏼

The first picture was me before I decided I was done accepting “this is just what happens as you get older.” I lost 33 pounds in about 9 weeks. But the weight loss ended up being only a small part of what changed. What I learned along the way: Weight loss was never really the finish line. Health optimization was. For years, I think I had accepted certain things as normal. Reflux medication. Sleep issues. Knee pain. Rising health markers. Less energy. Carrying more visceral fat than I should. I figured some of it was just age. It wasn’t. As the weight came off, so many other things started changing too. My cholesterol dropped from 200 to 148 in about six weeks. My knee pain disappeared. I stopped taking my reflux medication in my second week. My sleep improved. My energy came back. And more than three years later, I’ve maintained that transformation within a pretty small range while continuing to work on becoming healthier. That last part matters to me. I don’t really like the word “maintenance,” because I’m not trying to stay exactly where I am. I’m trying to optimize. Now I think about visceral fat, muscle, strength, sleep, movement, metabolic health and what I can do at 53 to give myself the best chance of feeling amazing at 63, 73 and beyond. Losing the weight changed my body. Learning how to take control of my health changed the direction of my life. And that is what ultimately led me to coaching others through the same process.

Left photo was me July 5th 2020. I lost the weight… but more importantly, I fixed what caused it. And I’m healthier now than when I “hit my goal.” What I learned along the way... 👉🏼 Weight loss isn’t the goal. 👉🏼 A healthy metabolism is. We lose 20–40+lbs and then spend the rest of our lives terrified of gaining it back. That’s not freedom. What changed everything for me was rebuilding my metabolic health… how my body uses food, manages stress, builds muscle, and actually works again! THAT’S the real game changer!! And that’s exactly why the weight stayed off, my energy improved, I can now focus on building muscle instead of fighting fat, and my health keeps leveling up instead of sliding backward I lost 8points of visceral fat. 40lbs in 2 months There’s a path forward. And it’s not starvation, punishment, or guessing.
