When Beth first came in, she thought her goal was weight loss.
She booked massage for the tension she carried in her shoulders and neck.
And she signed up for nutrition coaching because her energy kept tanking — especially in the afternoons.
She was doing what a lot of people do.
Eating more some days.
Barely eating on others.
Trying to “be good,” then feeling exhausted and frustrated when it didn’t work.
By midday, she needed naps just to get through the day.
By evening, her body felt heavy and wired at the same time.
And the harder she tried to lose weight, the more stuck she felt.
What Beth didn’t realize yet was this:
Her body wasn’t resisting weight loss.
It was protecting itself.
Once we focused on fueling her day instead of restricting it —
real breakfasts, balanced meals, and a calming wind-down routine at night — something shifted.
Her energy steadied.
The afternoon crashes faded.
Her mindset softened.
And slowly, without forcing it, her weight started to change too.
She said it best herself:
“I thought I needed to lose weight… but what I really needed was energy.”
