The Importance of Putting Yourself First [transformation story]

As busy moms and caregivers, it’s easy to put ourselves last on the priority list.  We rush around caring for our kids, partners, parents, plus work obligations, often sacrificing our own needs. I see this a lot in the women who join Best of You, and I love helping them take care of themselves so they can turn around and take care of others.  This was Nathalie’s story. As a busy mom of two young kids, Nathalie felt like she was doing everything right – eating salads, working out on her Peloton… But she still struggled with exhaustion and was snacking at night. Though Nathalie looked healthy on the outside, she knew she needed an internal transformation.  Her mind felt foggy, affecting her ability to run her business and be fully present with her family. After searching online and talking to other moms, Nathalie discovered the Best of You program.  The holistic approach focusing on mindset, nutrition and fitness made sense to her.  She quickly booked a call. Over 5 months in the program, Nathalie lost 20 pounds! Take a look at her amazing transformation! Phenomenal, right? More importantly though, she regained mental clarity and energy.  Nathalie says she now “radiates” confidence when she enters a room. She learned how to advocate for herself and make healthy choices even while traveling and on family vacations.  Nathalie can enjoy experiences to the fullest with her newfound energy. Her transformation even motivated her husband to start running and sign up for a half marathon.  Nathalie’s habits indirectly influenced her whole family’s lifestyle. Her story shows that you don’t have to wait for the perfect time to make a change. Even as busy moms and caregivers, taking care of ourselves needs to be a priority. We’re so proud of Nathalie for achieving such inspiring results through the Best of You program!

Why It’s Never Too Late To Make Positive Changes To Your Health

No matter your age or current fitness level, it’s never too late to make major positive changes to your health and life.  There are a number of women who come into Best of You, and they don’t think they can do the workouts.  They may not be used to weight lifting, or they may have previous injuries that require adaptations.   When Tarja first came to the Best of You program, she was trying to lose weight and was struggling to find an exercise routine that worked with her back injury. Though Tarja loved cooking and enjoyed food, she realized she wanted to learn more about nutrition and science-based weight loss. The educational component of the Best of You program appealed to Tarja, as did the ability to adapt the workouts to her specific needs and limitations.  She steadily lost 26 pounds over 6 months through consistent effort, routine, and tiny daily changes.  Take a look at her amazing transformation! Though Tarja couldn’t do heavy lifting or high-impact workouts, she found success by focusing on walking, biking, and low-impact strength training. Regular body scans kept Tarja motivated by allowing her to quantify her progress. She was thrilled to see the numbers reverse back to what they were when she was younger. Now in the maintenance phase, Tarja continues to monitor her muscle and fat levels.  She feels more energized, less stressed, and is busy enjoying life as an active grandmother to two grandsons. Tarja’s story shows that with determination and by finding exercises that work for your own body, lasting transformation is possible at any age or fitness level.  And her advice on exercise and moving your body? “Find something that you can do. Because I believe we all can do something.” Such great advice wherever you find yourself in your transformation.  Tarja says the Best of You program gave her the knowledge she needed to succeed with her goals.  And we are so proud of everything she has achieved! So regardless of where you are in your transformation… If you need a little extra guidance and encouragement… Let’s have a conversation and see if Best of You could help you reach your transformation goal faster.

Beyond Weight Loss: Mastering Maintenance with Our Proven Process [transformation story]

I hope you’re feeling energized and motivated to start this week. Today, I wanted to share one of our Best of You member’s inspiring stories. When she first joined Best of You, she was feeling discouraged and hadn’t seen progress from previous attempts. But through consistent meal planning… The accountability from me and my team… And the supportive community inside Best of You… She lost an incredible 44 pounds in 8 months!  Take a look at her transformation. Amazing, right? I was incredibly proud to see her dedication paying off. Of course, the next challenge was learning how to transition successfully into what we call maintenance.  For most people who start eating better and are restricting calories… They regain the weight faster when they return to what they ate before. That’s why we put a strong focus on our proven reverse dieting process. Following our specific guidance, this Best of You member was able to find her new maintenance level seamlessly. This meant she was able to give her body the nutrients and calories it needed so she could set herself up for future fat loss successfully. I’m constantly impressed by members’ long-term commitment to optimizing their wellbeing.  In this case, she has truly embraced sustainable life skills like food combining and intuitive eating.  It’s been amazing to see her transform mentally as well as physically through dedication to these principles.  She is proof that reverse dieting, when done right, sets you up for lifelong success beyond just weight loss. This process is just as important as weight loss too . So whether you’re a couple pounds away from your goal weight (or maybe you have a bit more than that to lose)… Make sure you’re prepared for the maintenance phase and you understand what needs to be done in order to keep the weight off long-term.

Why Cravings Are NOT What They Seem [transformation story]

Having cravings for certain foods can be a good thing.  If you’re craving vegetables…  Definitely a good craving.  If you’re craving sweets…  Chips…  Or processed foods…  Definitely a bad craving. I once heard on a documentary the foods you crave the most should be the ones you avoid…  Unless you’re on a whole food diet.  The trillions of bacteria that reside in your gut feed off the foods you consume.  Essentially, the foods you crave are the foods your gut bacteria are wanting to eat.  It’s crazy when you stop and think about it.  And the way to break those bad cravings starts with your nutrition.  Take this Best of You member for instance.  Before joining Best of You…  She craved diet soda…  Sometimes having over a liter a day.  Once she joined Best of You…  And dialed in her nutrition…  She lost those stubborn pounds in a matter of months…  And her cravings went away!  She no longer craved processed foods…  Foods with a lot of sugar…  Or even diet soda anymore.  Now she wanted healthy, whole foods…  Because she loved how she felt when she gave her body healthy foods…  And she loved how she looked too.  Take a look at how fantastic she looks now.   I love sharing transformations!  Instead of hiding in the background of photos…  Now she wants to be seen…  And has more confidence than ever before.  She’s amazed she doesn’t crave the unhealthy foods she used to… Like diet soda.  The secret about Best of You…  What big name food brands and processed food companies don’t want you to know…  Is the ingredients in their foods are purposely addictive.  They’re designed for you to crave more.  But I want better for you.  I want you to feel confident putting on your clothes everyday…  To be able to keep up with your children or niece/nephew…  Eliminate brain fog…  And look and feel years younger than you actually are.  So if you are tired of craving the wrong foods…  And want to feed your body healthy, whole foods that can transform your life…  Then Best of You is your path to success.

How Small Steps Lead to STUNNING Transformations [transformation story]

Let’s talk about transformations. And no, I don’t mean the dramatic, overnight kind you see plastered all over the tabloids.  I’m talking about real, meaningful transformations –  The kind that happen when dedication meets determination.  And the kind of transformations we see every day at Best of You. Today, I’d like to share with you a powerful story from one of our members.  Her journey is a testament to the power of consistent action, perseverance, and faith in yourself. In this member’s own words,  “In 13 weeks, I have lost 20 pounds. I have incorporated three workouts weekly, daily walking, especially my new addition of morning walks, and a different view on nutrition and how I fuel my body.” But her transformation wasn’t merely physical. She tells us, “The emotional aspect of how this all came together was a roller coaster and a roller coaster I would not have any other way. The struggle, the determination, the wins, and the losses some weeks, has given me a healthy balance and outlook in my life.” Perhpas like many of you, this member began her journey with a mix of fear and hope,  “I was scared to do the program and very scared to fail.”  But she didn’t fail.  She took that fear and turned it into fuel.  “I’m proud of what I have accomplished thus far and looking forward to my future,” she shares. Just take a look at her incredible transformation. Amazing, right? I share her story not to tout the successes of Best of You –  (Although we are incredibly proud) 😀  But to show you what’s possible when you commit to change, when you commit to yourself. Remember, the journey to better health isn’t a sprint; it’s a marathon.  It’s a series of small, meaningful changes that accumulate over time.  And every step you take, no matter how small, is a victory worth celebrating.
