In partnership with Allara.
Over the past decade or so, I’ve dealt with a litany of ‘women’s health’ issues – irregular cycles, unwanted hair growth and insulin resistance, bloating, weight gain – that I worked tirelessly to reverse with no luck. Despite cutting carbs, intense workouts, and an extreme supplement routine, I was told, time and again, that losing weight is simply harder for women in their 30s, and that I needed to stick with it. The constant food noise and intrusive thoughts about calories and ingredients didn’t help. Living in a body I didn’t recognize, and being told I was doing something wrong (despite feeling like I was doing everything right) took its toll.
Thankfully, I found Allara and learned that it was hormonal – and once I understood more about what was happening in my body, I was able to lose 70 pounds.
My care team consisted of a medical provider and registered dietitian who, first and foremost, took me seriously, and helped me come up with a custom plan that actually worked. Unfortunately, I know my story is not unique – so if you’re also feeling lost and frustrated, I’m hoping my experience can help you, too.
