Before the Program
Before starting the Gut Health Advanced Support Program, Kelly wanted to regain a sense of control over her body, rebuild healthy habits and lose weight.
She was struggling with excess weight, sluggishness, frequent stomach aches and bloating, low energy and feeling increasingly uncomfortable in her body.
“I was tired of buying bigger clothes. My weight was affecting my self-esteem and how I felt about my body.”
She had tried other programs in the past and had experienced some positive results, but nothing felt substantial or sustainable long-term. She was also looking for something that provided more support and guidance throughout the process.
The Program Experience
For Kelly, one of the biggest differences was how comprehensive the program felt.
Rather than focusing only on weight loss, the program incorporated nutrition, clinical guidance, targeted supplementation, daily education, tracking and ongoing support.
“I loved having support in every area. The app, supplements, daily videos and guidance gave me an easy-to-follow system. There wasn’t the guesswork I’d experienced with other programs.”
One of her biggest surprises?
She didn’t feel like she was starving.
When symptoms arose during transitions between phases, her nutrition support team helped her adjust the program based on how her individual body was responding.
“When I experienced negative symptoms while changing phases, my nutrition support team guided me every step of the way and helped alter the program for my individual needs. Other programs I’d tried didn’t include that kind of guidance and support.”
What Kelly Learned Along the Way
The program changed more than Kelly’s weight.
She developed a better understanding of how her body responds to different foods and became more aware of which foods make her feel her best—and which don’t.
She also gained a new understanding of the relationship between stress, cortisol and gut health.
“I knew stress affected your health, but I never truly understood how impactful it could be until this program.”
Going through the program during perimenopause also changed her perspective on this stage of life.
“I learned that perimenopause doesn’t necessarily mean an automatic sentence to belly fat and all of the other negative symptoms we tend to associate with menopause.”
The Results
After 135 days, Kelly lost 39.6 pounds and 17.5 inches, but some of the changes she values most aren’t measured by a scale.
She reports:
- Less bloating and water retention
- Fewer stomach aches
- Increased energy
- Better digestion and bowel regularity
- Fewer cravings
- Greater awareness of how foods affect her body
- Less shortness of breath with activity
- Easier movement and less difficulty getting around
- Improved confidence and body image
- A greater sense of control over her health
Her weekly symptom and inflammation score also dropped from 57 to 17 over the course of the program.
But when asked which improvement was the most meaningful, her answer wasn’t the nearly 40-pound weight loss.
It was gaining control and understanding of her own body.
Looking Back
Today, Kelly says she feels significantly better than when she started and much less self-conscious about her body.
Most importantly, she came away from the program feeling equipped to understand and respond to her body’s signals rather than constantly fighting against them.
Her advice for someone considering the program:
“It’s worth the investment, and you’ll be so happy and proud that you did it. But don’t start until you’re fully committed to doing the work. Your mindset has to be right to take it on and be successful.”
In Kelly’s Words
“This program helped me understand my body and how it responds to food and stress. It left me feeling empowered and in control in a way I’ve never experienced before.”
