My Real Weight Loss Journey: An Honest Start

Weight loss isn’t a one-size-fits-all formula; it’s a deeply personal journey that often involves discovering what works uniquely for you. When I decided to embark on my own weight loss journey, I knew it wouldn’t be about quick fixes or strict diets but about creating a lifestyle I could maintain. I’m excited to share this journey with you, grounded in authenticity, self-discovery, and some transformative insights.

The videos I’ve shared capture this journey in real-time—the highs and lows, the challenges and achievements. Each step is shaped by lessons I’m learning, and I hope these glimpses into my journey will inspire others who feel it’s time to take that first step. Here are the first two for you to review.

I started off playing it “safe” sharing some of my routines as well as some the things I already knew as well as things I am learning.


The Realization and the Resolve

Starting out, I knew that consistency would be key. I wanted more than just to lose weight; I wanted to feel truly good, energized, and free. Watching back my initial videos reminds me of the commitment I made: to show up for myself, even on tough days. This isn’t just about numbers on a scale; it’s about living fully.

For me accountability is key is well as consistency. So as I added Zestal Trim to my routine, I wanted to document it. I started by doing for 4 day trial and I shared

Here is my 4 day Zestal Trim review.

Finding My Rhythm

Early in the journey, I quickly learned that small, steady changes often had the biggest impact. Tracking my progress on video is bringing me a new sense of accountability, but it also allows me to see the shifts in mindset and energy as well as in my body that aren’t always visible on the scale. Movement and weightlifting have been part of my weekly routine since for many years and is an important part of my journey. Incorporating new habits such as exploring foods that felt right for my body, focusing on macros, having great coaches, and leaning on tools like journaling and self-compassion are now part of building a new routine.

Staying Honest, Staying Real

If there’s one thing I’ve committed to in this journey, it’s honesty—especially with myself. Weight loss is often glorified in our culture, but in reality, it requires a willingness to look at ourselves deeply. Sharing these moments with you through videos has been both empowering and vulnerable, a reminder that no one has it all together all the time.

Here is my most venerable post so far as I share my real body in real time.


This journey is ongoing, and I look forward to sharing more in my upcoming posts and videos. We’ll dive into the practices that are working, how I handle setbacks, and the small wins that make it all worth it. For now, thank you for joining me as I take each step toward a healthier, happier me.

What is VMG+ Whole Food Nutrient Complex?

The VMG+ Whole Food Nutrient Complex is a powerful, bioavailable, whole-food supplement that supports foundational wellness by providing essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients derived from natural sources.

2. Gut Health Support

  • Our society is often overfed yet malnourished. Poor diet, chronic stress, and hidden imbalances weaken gut health, impacting nutrient absorption.

3. Bio-individuality

  • Each person has unique health needs based on genetics, lifestyle, and environment. VMG+ provides an adaptable solution for daily nutrition.

Key Features of VMG+

  • Whole-Food Based Nutrients: Plant-derived vitamins, minerals, and cofactors.
  • Methylated B Vitamins: Supports optimal methylation, essential for detoxification, DNA repair, and cardiovascular health.
  • Liposome Technology: Advanced delivery system enhancing nutrient absorption for more effective results.
  • Probiotics and Digestive Enzymes: Support gut health and nutrient assimilation.

Unique Blends in VMG+

  1. Bioavailability Boosting Blend: Essential oils like Lavender, Lemongrass, Ginger, Peppermint, and Wild Orange double the absorption of nutrients.
  2. Cellular Support Blend: Includes NAC, broccoli seed extract, and CoQ10 to support cellular health, detoxification, and antioxidant defenses.
  3. Nutrition and Superfood Blends: Provide phytonutrients, antioxidants, and a range of whole-food nutrients.

Benefits of VMG+

  • Energy and Vitality: Supports steady energy levels by addressing nutrient deficiencies.
  • Immune System: Enhances immune defenses with whole-food nutrients.
  • Gut Health and Digestion: Probiotics and enzymes aid digestive health.
  • Liver and Hormone Function: Supports detoxification and hormone balance.
  • Brain Function: Nutrients essential for mental clarity and cognitive support.

How to Use VMG+ Whole Food Nutrient Complex

  • Daily Routine: Take with meals as part of your foundational wellness routine.
  • Stacking Options: VMG+ can be combined with other doTERRA products for a more tailored wellness approach.
  • No “Pill Fatigue”: Whole-food-based, bioavailable nutrients reduce the need for multiple supplements.

Why Bioavailability Matters

The bioavailability of nutrients in VMG+ ensures that your body absorbs and utilizes them more efficiently. The liposomal technology used in VMG+ delivers nutrients directly to your cells, which enhances their effectiveness compared to traditional capsules or tablets.


Nourish Your Foundation: Set a reminder to integrate VMG+ into your daily wellness routine. Your journey to better foundational health starts with proper nutrition.

We’ll break down the unique features of each supplement and how they fit into your daily routine for optimal vitality.

Omega fatty acids are essential for overall wellness, playing a crucial role in heart health, brain function, and cellular integrity.

No, xEO Mega contains fish oil. If you are vegan, VEO Mega is the recommended alternative as it provides a plant-based source of omega-3s.

2. Are there any side effects?
Most people tolerate omega supplements well, but if you are sensitive to fish or plant-based omegas, consult with a healthcare provider before use.

Move to Thrive: Boosting Your Metabolism Through Movement

Movement is the essence of life. From walking in the park to lifting weights at the gym, every form of movement contributes to our overall well-being. But movement isn’t just about staying fit; it’s a core element in revving up our metabolism and sustaining our energy throughout the day. This blog explores the intricate connection between movement and metabolism, offering tips and support for building an active, healthy routine.*

Understanding Metabolism

Metabolism is the process by which your body converts what you eat and drink into energy. While everyone’s metabolism is unique, movement is one of the most effective ways to naturally boost it. When you engage in regular physical activity, your body works harder to supply oxygen and nutrients to your cells, leading to an increase in calorie burn and metabolic rate.

Key Benefits of Movement for Metabolism:

  • Increased Calorie Burn: The more you move, the more calories you burn, helping you maintain or lose weight.
  • Muscle Growth: Building muscle can elevate your resting metabolic rate, meaning you burn more calories even when you’re not active.
  • Improved Insulin Sensitivity: Movement helps balance blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of metabolic disorders.
  • Enhanced Mood and Energy: Physical activity stimulates endorphin release, improving your mood and energy levels, making it easier to stay active.

Movement can be a Mindful Practice

Movement is more than exercise; it can be a form of mindful engagement with our bodies and surroundings. By infusing intention into our movements, we can connect with how each motion fuels and energizes our metabolism. Mindful movement allows us to tune into our body’s needs, breathing, and rhythms, creating a balance that helps relieve stress while boosting physical and mental well-being.

Incorporating Mindfulness into Movement:

  • Focus on Breath: Inhale deeply as you stretch or jog, letting each breath fuel your body and mind. This enhances circulation and the body’s ability to metabolize energy efficiently.
  • Observe Sensations: Pay attention to how your muscles feel, the support from the ground, or even the sensation of wind as you move. This mindful attention promotes connection and enjoyment in movement.
  • Align Intention with Action: Set an intention before each session—be it strength, endurance, or simply joy. Movement combined with intention can enhance energy and metabolism while grounding your experience.

Incorporating mindfulness into movement turns every session into an empowering practice that supports both physical health and emotional well-being. It’s a reminder that movement, in its many forms, nourishes us on all levels.

Supporting Your Body’s Metabolism with doTERRA MetaPWR

MetaPWR is designed to optimize metabolism, curb cravings, and support energy levels, making it a powerful ally in any wellness routine. Here’s how you can incorporate MetaPWR into your movement routine:

  • Before Activity: Take MetaPWR to help boost energy levels and mental clarity.
  • Midday Support: MetaPWR can be beneficial between meals to keep your energy levels steady and curb cravings, especially if you’ve had a busy day or a tough workout.
  • Long-term Metabolic Support: Regular use of MetaPWR can support metabolic health by assisting with sustained energy and a balanced appetite.

The MetaPWR formula includes essential oils like cinnamon and peppermint, both known for their metabolism-supporting properties. When you combine MetaPWR with regular physical activity, you create a powerful routine that sustains your energy and helps keep metabolism steady.

Recovery with doTERRA Deep Blue

Post-exercise recovery is critical to staying active and avoiding injury. This is where Deep Blue comes in. Known for its soothing blend of essential oils, Deep Blue can be used as a topical application after physical activity to soothe tired muscles and joints.

Ways to Use Deep Blue for Recovery:

  • Post-Workout Rub: Apply Deep Blue to sore muscles and massage gently for relief.
  • Joint Care: For those engaging in high-impact activities, using Deep Blue on your joints can offer extra comfort.
  • Preventive Care: Applying Deep Blue before activities can help ease tension in areas prone to soreness, allowing for a more comfortable and effective workout.

Combining MetaPWR for metabolic support and Deep Blue for recovery makes an ideal combination to maximize the benefits of movement and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Final Thoughts

Movement and metabolism go hand in hand. Embracing a regular physical activity routine—supported by the power of doTERRA MetaPWR and Deep Blue—can help you unlock your body’s full potential, boosting both energy and vitality. Give your metabolism the boost it needs, recover right, and enjoy every step of your wellness journey!

Support Your Immune System Naturally

Maintaining a strong immune system is crucial for overall health, and there are many ways to support it naturally. Simple habits like washing your hands before meals can significantly reduce your exposure to harmful germs. Additionally, incorporating essential oils into your routine is a powerful way to boost your immune system.

Research has shown that diffusing essential oils can purify and cleanse the air, providing an extra layer of protection. For instance, doTERRA On Guard and Lemon essential oils have potent cleansing properties that help purify the air we breathe, positively impacting our immune health.

Essential Oils for Immune Support

doTERRA On Guard, often referred to as the protective blend, combines the benefits of Wild Orange, Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, and Rosemary essential oils. This blend is designed to provide robust immune support, and the doTERRA On Guard product line makes it easy to incorporate this blend into your daily routine—from brushing your teeth to washing your hands, doTERRA On Guard offers convenient options to keep immune support within reach.

Another effective way to harness the immune-boosting properties of essential oils is through internal use.* Essential oils like Oregano, Frankincense, and Copaiba are particularly powerful. Consider taking a drop of each in a veggie capsule every morning to support your immune system.* You can also take one to two drops of Oregano internally as needed for an extra boost.*

Additional Ways to Support Immune Health

Beyond essential oils, regular exercise and a balanced diet are fundamental for maintaining a strong immune system. Ensuring your body gets the nutrients it needs can be further supported by incorporating the doTERRA Lifelong Vitality Pack into your daily regimen.* These supplements, when added to a healthy diet, have a profound and beneficial impact on your immune system.*

Finally, don’t underestimate the power of a good night’s sleep. Rest is vital for immune function, and diffusing essential oils like doTERRA Serenity®, Lavender, or Roman Chamomile at bedtime can help create a restful environment that supports quality sleep.

Here are some of my top immune support favorites:
