“I want a different normal. A better normal.”
— Sharon, 63

Before: Tired, Uncomfortable & Feeling Like the Weight Was “Glued On”

At 63, Sharon was already doing many of the things we're told should keep us healthy.

She was active, working out about six days a week and trying to watch what she ate.

But she didn't feel well.

Her sleep had become unpredictable. She would wake around 2:30 in the morning and find herself unable to shut off her mind and fall back asleep.

She was dealing with digestive issues, including bloating, gas and burping, as well as what she believed were gallbladder flare-ups that could derail an entire day.

And then there was her weight.

“I felt like it was glued on. I couldn’t get rid of it.”

Sharon had tried plenty of things over the years.

Jenny Craig.

Weight Watchers.

A highly restrictive 500-calorie diet.

She had successfully lost weight before, but none of those approaches taught her how to nourish her body or maintain her results.

Then Sharon decided to create her own weight-loss plan.

She gave herself what seemed like a very reasonable goal: lose 15 pounds over the course of a year.

She followed her plan for approximately five months.

Her result?

Half a pound.

Frustrated, she stopped tracking and spent the summer doing what felt easier.

When she eventually stepped back on the scale, she had gained 15 pounds.

Something had to change.

The Turning Point: Joining Metabolic Mastery

Sharon first got to know me through the Master Your Metabolism After 40 podcast.

As she listened, she realized there was much more to her health than simply eating less and exercising more.

And she remembers thinking:

“This woman knows what she’s talking about… she can help me.”

By then, Sharon had reached the point where she was ready to stop experimenting on herself.

She didn't want to cobble together another plan from bits and pieces of information.

She wanted someone to help her understand what her body actually needed.

So she joined Metabolic Mastery.

And instead of receiving another short-term weight-loss plan, Sharon began learning something previous programs had never really taught her:

Nutrition.

“Let me teach you how to make this sustainable. All of that other stuff… doesn’t—it’s not long-term sustainable.”

What Changed?

Sharon didn't change everything overnight.

She approached the process much like she approached a plank challenge she completed inside the program:

Start small.

Get comfortable.

Then add a little more.

“Just little bits at a time… stacking with even just making better breakfast choices. And then let’s stack on some lunch. Let’s stack on this next thing.”

Instead of expecting perfection from day one, Sharon focused on progress.

She improved the way she structured her meals.

She learned more about the nutritional value of what she was eating rather than simply focusing on portion size.

She worked on her sleep and digestion.

She gradually built new habits.

And because Metabolic Mastery gave her personalized feedback, she wasn't left wondering whether she was doing the right things.

Sharon especially valued having her food, sleep and other health information reviewed and receiving feedback between coaching calls.

“I knew that even if I couldn’t make a call, I can still ask a question. It’s not like the doors were shut because I didn’t come to a group call.”

Instead of another rigid diet she couldn't wait to finish, Sharon began learning how to make decisions she could sustain.

And she adopted a new mindset:

“It’s not about perfection. It’s about progress.”

The Results

Sharon went from spending five months trying to lose weight on her own and losing just half a pound to:

• Losing her first 15 pounds

• Sleeping through the night much more consistently

• Being able to fall back asleep when she does wake

• Experiencing no major gallbladder flare-up for approximately a year

• Improving her digestion

• Reducing her bloating, gas and burping

• Feeling calmer and more comfortable in her stomach

• Learning how to eat in a way she can actually sustain

• Feeling confident that she knows how to continue toward her goals

But perhaps the most important change was realizing just how long she had accepted feeling poorly as normal.

“I feel just better, which I think for so long, I didn’t feel well that I thought this was normal.”

At 63, Sharon had assumed some of these things were simply part of getting older.

Poor sleep.

Digestive issues.

Weight that wouldn't budge.

Not feeling quite right in her own body.

But as she started feeling better, her perspective changed.

“I was so used to feeling… just kind of poopy in overall general health, that I thought this was normal.”

Now she knows differently.

Sharon’s Message to You

If you're over 40, 50 or 60 and have started believing that feeling tired, uncomfortable or frustrated with your body is simply what happens as you age, Sharon wants you to reconsider what you've accepted as your normal.

“This poopy feeling doesn’t have to be my normal. I want a different normal, a better normal.”

And if you've spent years trying to piece together your own solution, Sharon also knows how exhausting that can become.

For her, getting personalized guidance meant she could stop experimenting and start understanding what worked for her.

Today, she has lost 15 pounds, her digestion feels calmer and she's sleeping better—but perhaps even more importantly, she knows how to continue.

“I’ve lost 15 pounds. I have more that I want to lose, but I know now how to do it in a sustainable way.”

Her advice to another woman who knows something isn't right but is hesitating to get help?

“Trust yourself.”

Because feeling bad doesn't have to become your new normal.
