How Janine Shed 48 Pounds At 71 Years Old

One of my favorite parts of my job is seeing my clients accomplish their health and weight goals especially when they didn’t believe it was possible.  I love seeing my clients in their 60s and 70s exceed their own expectations.  

Just like my client Janine Heydrick of Florida…

She lost 48 lbs at 71 years old in 7.5 months! But WOW she accomplished so much more than just weight loss from eating optimally.  More than she imagined she could!

I’m sharing my client success interview with her below so prepare to be inspired! 

I remember my first conversation with Janine before she hired me as her Nutritionist… 

At 71 years old, she was very unhappy with her weight, was tired all the time, and was taking naps in the middle of the day.  She was taking medications she didn’t want to.  Janine felt like she was falling apart but had no motivation.  Her doctor recommended she get a Nutritionist.  So she did and I’m SO glad she did because here’s what Janine accomplished from working together for 7.5 months… Click the video below or keep reading!

Janine…

• Lost 48 pounds and is maintaining it!

• Reduced her blood pressure medication by 50% within the first 10 weeks of eating optimally!

• Eliminated her pain medication – Hydrocodone.  The pain in her feet and legs disappeared almost instantly when she started eating optimally so no need for the pain medication anymore! The pain used to be a 10/10.

• Exercises almost 5 days a week now and she wasn’t exercising at all before she started eating optimally!  It’s been YEARS since she’s had a routine like this.  

• She prioritizes taking care of her health now that she knows what to do and what works!

• Can walk up a flight of stairs without being out of breath again.

• Can do anything she wants without worrying about her weight and health anymore! Love this!

• Falls asleep more easily AND now she’s waking up rested! Her sleep has improved.

• Is going on a European trip with her granddaughter to visit 9 countries! She would have never been able to do that before eating optimally (to use her words). She’s going zip lining!

You’re never “too old” or “too anything” to improve your health and Janine is living proof!

How Sharon Eliminated Medications in Three Weeks From Optimal Eating

Have you ever felt utterly hopeless trying to lose weight? Have you ever felt fed up with doctors pushing meds and telling you to lose weight but not how to lose it?  

That’s exactly how Sharon felt at 63 years old before she hired me as her Nutritionist.  She was fed up with doctors pushing meds and hopeless about being able to lose weight.  And she wanted to shed pounds sustainably. No more diets! 

Sharon loved to walk and be active but just couldn’t get herself to do it – she had no energy and stamina to do the things she loved.

So, she signed up to chat with me to see if/how I could potentially help her shed pounds sustainably.

I was her last ditch effort.  She hired me as her Nutritionist and wow, just wow I am SO glad she did because LOOK at what Sharon accomplished for herself eating optimally!  No pills, no products, no shots, no counting, measuring or weighing… just eating optimally for her unique tastebuds, diagnosis, and lifestyle…

In 3 weeks of eating optimally with Nutritionist, Trisha Mandes, Sharon… 

• Eliminated three medications! Two for diabetes and one blood pressure medication!  That’s how powerful eating optimally can be!

• Started walking again daily. Woo hoo!

It’s been ONE year of eating optimally for Sharon now (a huge accomplishment!) and…

• She lost 42 pounds and maintained that loss for a year!

• Her husband also lost 37 pounds! 

• No longer struggles from knee pain. She can walk up and down flights of stairs without pain. 

• Was able to take care of her mother and support her when she was ill.

• Can now get on the floor and play with her grand baby.

How Diana Shed 45 pounds at 59 years old!

Last week I interviewed a client that lost 45 pounds in 8 months from eating optimally.  Today, I’m delighted to share my interview with her – Diana, from Southern California. 

She’s 59 and learned how to eat optimally based on her goals, tastebuds, and lifestyle from me, Nutritionist, Trisha Mandes.  Which is amazing because before eating optimally and working with me Diana felt…

• Hopeless.  She’d reached her highest weight ever before hiring me.

• Confused from all of the contradictory nutrition information and struggled with unsustainable diets.

• That she had to accept that she was going to be overweight for the rest of her life although she didn’t want to.  She’d been stuck not being able to keep weight off for the last 7-8 years.

Plus, she was in a lot of pain, couldn’t walk up and down the stairs and was losing her balance which scared her.

Does this sound familiar to you too?

If so, watch my interview with Diana below.  She shares all the diets she tried before she learned how to lose weight from eating optimally (and yay no counting, measuring, weighing or products to buy!).

She’s down 45 pounds (from EATING!), eliminated her heartburn, has a lot more energy, is working out again and avoided needing a CPAP machine.  Here’s her weight loss chart.  Isn’t it awesome!?…

Diana says…

“I feel probably the best I’ve felt in years. I feel good about the food that I’m eating. I feel good about what I’m putting into my body. It’s nice, and I’m learning how to cook different things and different foods I hadn’t thought of and I’m finding, oh, that’s really good!”

Click the video above to listen to my inspiring interview with Diana. 

I’m SO proud of her because she was so nervous in the beginning but she signed up anyway.  She took action for herself amongst the fear and I’m SO glad she did because look at what she’s accomplished!

Diana is a great reminder that you can do hard things that help you!

How Colleen Lost 50 Pounds and Improved Her Myasthenia Gravis with Optimal Eating

Colleen Halverson was days away from going to the doctor to ask for anti-depressants.  She was so down about her health, her weight and how she was feeling physically and emotionally.  Colleen has Myasthenia Gravis, an autoimmune disorder and after years of steroids, she couldn’t lose weight for the last two years.  She was 67 at this time and was running out of hope.  Until one day…

She saw an ad on Facebook from me, Nutritionist, Trisha Mandes about how to Shed Pounds Sustainably even if you have an additional diagnosis or can’t exercise.  I’m so glad Colleen clicked that ad, watched my one-hour webinar and then signed up to chat with me to see if/how I could potentially help her.

After that call, she felt hopeful she could turn her health around and despite never having invested in herself significantly before, she hired me as her Nutritionist and I am beyond thrilled to share Colleen’s incredibly inspiring health success in my interview with her today.

Here’s a sneak peak of what Colleen accomplished eating optimally and without counting calories, measuring or weighing food or buying diet products…

Colleen is officially down 50 pounds AND reduced the amount of prednisone she needs for her autoimmune disease! (here’s her actual weight loss chart!)...

And that’s just the beginning of what she accomplished.  

Watch my full video with the amazing Colleen below about her results and experience sustainably losing 50 pounds by EATING tons of optimal food she enjoys

Here’s everything Colleen accomplished eating optimally during our time together…

• Lost 52 lbs in 7 months amongst having an autoimmune disease

• Reduced her prednisone to <10mg/day so is experiencing fewer side effects!

• Is 2 lbs away from the weight that she was 9 years ago! 

• Feels better everyday. Not tired or weak

• No longer leaves the table hungry and feels satiated

• No longer feels sluggish after eating or has regrets after she eats 

• Is walking more, doing strength training and is more productive

• Improved her emotional state. She is more confident, proud, and less depressed.

• Renewed interest in her hobbies. She is working on her sewing projects again and can work on multiple projects at once.
  
  To quote Colleen…

“I see a difference in not just my overall look, my shape, and my body. I feel a difference inside.  Know that you’re worth the investment. I had to realize I was worth doing this for.” 

I’m so glad she did.

She came to see that investing in her health was not only necessary but invaluable. She’ll have and use the skills she learned in the program for the rest of her life. That’s what an effective lifestyle change is all about.
