Heather's Story

"I've been on a health journey for many years now. Joining the Weight Loss Detox in January and continuing on with the 6 month Weight Loss Challenge has been awesome! The Nutritarian recipes are so good and I didn't have to adapt things to make them gluten free which was a huge bonus for me as I have Gluten Ataxia. I lost a total of 28.6 pounds and I'm back in the normal BMI range!

In the last few years I put on weight due to a medication I was taking. I worked hard to improve my health enough to get off that medication and was finally ready to tackle the extra weight. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis along with Fibromyalgia and several other chronic and autoimmune conditions. I have gone from having inflammation in every joint to having it in only a couple finger joints at this time. My labs are improving! My mood has improved and my energy is better most days!

I didn't exercise exactly but I put good music on and danced every chance I got. As I lose more weight, my joints are feeling better so I'm able to start doing more. I plan to climb the Manitou Incline with my son on his 11th birthday in a few weeks!

In the last couple months of the challenge . . .  I lost my life-long best friend unexpectedly, so It's been very tough. But I will keep pushing to improve my health so that I can give my 4 kids the best version of me for as long as possible.

I am very happy with my results. I'm not the kind of person that can stick to a diet, but this does not feel like a "diet.” I'm excited to see how much more improvement I can make! On to the next challenge."
