Jeanie is a “classic” patient I see on nearly a weekly basis.

She was in the menopause stages of life. She’d put on weight with the hormonal changes, and could not get it off.

She felt stuck and could not lose the stubborn weight that she had been trying to lose for YEARS. It wouldn’t budge no matter how hard she tried.

And despite trying, her overall health was getting worse and worse.

And her autoimmune condition was becoming more & more painful.

She found out about how I took a radically different approach. One that was natural, and addressed the root underlying causes of what was happening in her body.

Not only did I help help her reach her weight loss goal, but she had way more energy within just a few weeks!

She also lowered her blood pressure, reduced her over-the-counter meds and got off all but one of her prescriptions! Plus, her pain and discomfort was dramatically better.

Just look at the differences in her face, in the above pics…and how her jeans are fitting much looser.

Because of her transformation, she has referred others to me, to help as well.

How did she accomplish all this?

More about that a little below. But first…

Renee’s Story

Renee is another example of someone who went through the menopause changes of life. When her body changed hormonally, she began having weight gain.

Many women think that menopause = weight gain. This is NOT inevitable and you are not destined to remain overweight the rest of your life.

The majority of the time, there was already some underlying degree of metabolic dysfunction caused by unaddressed root issues.

The “change” simply exacerbated these.

Fix the underlying root issues allows your metabolism to optimize naturally (even with the hormonal changes of menopause).

Subsequently, the weight starts to disappear.

Renee’s transformation is a prime example of this.

Renee came to me wanting to lose weight. She knew she had to get the weight off. She just couldn’t figure out how.

What used to work for her, no longer would work.

She was trying to lose weight using the old model of eating less calories and burning more calories. But for many like Renee, it does not work.

Our metabolisms’ (and therefore weight loss) are primarily driven by hormones.

Not calories.

And the biggest influence of which hormones are produced in your body is based on your metabolic function at the cellular level.

When you improve cellular metabolic function by addressing the root issues, your body can optimize your hormones to lose weight… even if you are pre-menopausal, peri-menopausal, or menopause.

Once Renee learned what to do, she started applying the knowledge to optimize the healthy hormone production in her body.

When she did this, the weight started falling off.

She feels so much better with way more energy!

And her confidence went up as well.

If you are tired of “hitting your head up against the wall” and struggling to lose weight, there are probably some deeper root issues at play.

If you’d like to learn more about how to address these root issues (like I’ve done with Jeanie, Renee & people all around the world), you can click the below button. I will share all the details in that video.
