Hi, I'm Denise. I'm 58 years old and been married for 34 years. I also have 3 children and 6 adorable grandkids. I recently got lucky and found a way to look & feel like my younger self again...
I remember back in my 20s and 30s when I used to….
✔️ Have energy all day long...
✔️ Stay in great shape while eating pizza and burgers...
✔️ Eat what I liked—whenever I liked—without paying for it later...
✔️ Kept a great physique while rarely going to the gym...
✔️ Feel very confident wearing bathing suits, dresses, etc
Everything seemed to come pretty easy...THEN I hit my early 40's.

The first change when I got home was I started to swim again
(I swam for my team in high school).
However, I quickly found that even in the water, I had a hard time exercising with the extra weight.
Then, I tried eating more salads and cutting out processed foods and sugar.
I made a little progress at first, but then I was always left feeling hungry and ended up 'snacking' too much and losing the little progress I had made.
I even resorted to trying some strange home remedies a friend had recommended and guaranteed would work.
I tried things like mixing beet juice, chia seeds, greek yogurt, kale, and more. (Spoiler: it didn't work.)
While still trying every home 'remedy' I could find, I also used body wraps and put cucumber slices in my socks.
(I'm embarrassed to admit that, yes - I slept with cucumbers in my socks...)... which obviously did not work.
I then went down the low-carb diet path. This wasn't too bad, but I missed eating my pasta's and bread's a lot.
I started feeling desperate and started trying everything - calorie counting, went gluten-free, and even became a vegetarian for two months. Even after all of that, my weight didn't change!
I began wondering, "Is something wrong with me?"
So, I made an appointment with my doctor to get checked.
