In The Beginning
HOW IT ALL STARTED
I stared at the scale, my stomach tightening as the numbers blinked back at me.
How is this possible? I stepped off, took a deep breath, and stepped back on. Maybe I read it wrong.
Nope.
The weight wasn’t going down—it was going up.
After having my daughter, I had assumed I’d bounce back quickly. I had never struggled with my weight before, so why would this be any different?
But no matter how many salads I ate, how many hours I spent at the gym, the weight wouldn’t budge.
Day after day, I was exhausted. I’d push through workouts, force myself to eat what I thought was healthy, and still, nothing changed.
Every time I pulled out my pre-pregnancy jeans and tried to squeeze into them, it felt like a cruel joke. I wasn’t just frustrated—I was losing hope. Then came the moment that broke me. We were on a family cruise, and after dinner one night, we took a big group photo. The next day, we walked past the display of printed pictures, and my husband pointed to ours.
“There it is,” he said. I scanned the photo, looking for myself. But I couldn’t see me.“No, that’s not us,” I said, shaking my head. “Yes, it is,” he insisted. I looked again.
And then I saw it.
The woman in the picture—the one my husband swore was me—was unrecognizable.
My stomach dropped. My heart pounded. I wanted to look away, but I couldn’t. That was me?
That was the moment I knew.
I couldn’t keep doing what I was doing. It wasn’t working. I needed real change.
Since I was already a chiropractor and passionate about holistic health, I knew there had to be a solution that was both effective and healthy. My husband had also gained weight, and we were both desperate for something that would actually work.
Then we found it!
We discovered a program that focused on high-value proteins designed to activate the metabolism. The science made sense. The method made sense. And for the first time in a long time, I felt hopeful.
We jumped in, and within just three weeks, everything changed. The bloating disappeared. The fatigue was gone. The weight started to fall off. And the best part? I wasn’t starving myself or spending hours doing workouts that left me drained.
Friends and family noticed right away.
“What are you guys doing? You look amazing!” When I told them, they wanted in.
And that’s when it hit me—this wasn’t just something we needed. There were so many people, just like me, who had been beating themselves up, trying everything, and still feeling stuck.
So, we brought it into our practice. Now, we don’t just help people with chiropractic care—we help them transform their health.
Like Jose.
Jose came to me scared. Diabetes ran in his family, and his doctor had already warned him: “If your blood sugar doesn’t improve, you’ll need medication.”
He didn’t want that. He looked me in the eye and said, “I don’t want to be diabetic. Can you help me?”
From day one, he followed the program perfectly. Within the first 10 days, his blood sugar started dropping. Little by little, the numbers improved. By the end of the program, he had lost 40 pounds—but more importantly, his blood sugar was normal.His doctor was stunned.Jose had taken back control of his health.
No more fear. No more exhaustion. Just living again.
Then there was the mother of five. She had just given birth to triplets.
She had always maintained a healthy weight, even after her first two kids, but this?
This was different.
She tried everything—trainers, gym memberships, diet after diet—but nothing worked. She was exhausted, overwhelmed, and slipping into depression.
She needed something real.
She started our program, and within a month, she lost 10 pounds. But more importantly? She felt different. She had energy. She didn’t need naps just to get through the day.
Three months later, she reached her goal weight. But the weight loss wasn’t the real victory—it was the way she felt. Confident. Happy. Like herself again.
Then there are the kids.It breaks my heart to see children—children—struggling with weight-related health issues.
Prediabetes. High cholesterol. High blood pressure.Things that were unheard of in kids just 20 years ago are common now.
One young girl came to us because she was being bullied at school. She felt miserable. She didn’t want to go to class. She didn’t want to be seen.
Her mother was desperate.We put her on the program, and in three months, she lost 22 pounds. But more importantly, she smiled again. She had confidence. She walked into school with her head held high.
That’s why I do this.Because when people lose weight the right way, everything changes.They don’t just look better. They feel better. They have energy again. They’re happy again.
That’s why we call this The Last Diet—because it’s not another quick fix.
It’s the last diet you’ll ever need.
For over 14 years, we’ve helped people change their lives. And every single transformation reminds me why I do this.
Because I know what it feels like to look in the mirror and not recognize yourself.
I know what it’s like to try everything and feel like nothing is working.
And I know what it feels like to finally find a solution that changes everything.
My mission is simple:
To help as many people as possible regain their health, their confidence, and their happiness.
And it starts with one decision. One decision to stop doing what isn’t working.
One decision to finally take control. One decision to start living again.
There is another way...
Let Us help you get your life back!
