How Gail Shed 30 Pounds Sustainably at 70 years Old

Gail was struggling with fibromyalgia pain and her whole body hurt when she came to me.  On top of that, she was still struggling with knee pain despite having had knee replacement surgery.  She wanted to lose weight and get off her CPAP machine.

After watching my webinar on Facebook, Gail hired me to learn how to eat optimally for her specific health concerns, tastebuds and lifestyle.

I’m so happy she did because look at what Gail achieved for herself at 70 years old! What an inspiration!  Gail…

• Shed 30 lbs in less than 7 months! And while traveling Europe!
  Reduced her knee pain from an 8/10 to a 2/10 within two weeks of eating optimally! 

• Now wakes up feeling refreshed and no longer needs to sleep as much. 

• Improved her memory and brain fog. She doesn’t forget words as much. 

• Improved her balance. She no longer loses her balance when carrying things and doesn’t have to hang onto the railing when carrying something up the stairs. 

• Improved her breathing! Her doctor has given her the okay to stop her CPAP after another month of progress! 

• Is now walking 4-5 miles and can now squat for a few minutes. She couldn’t do this before eating optimally! 

• Is receiving compliments from family about her weight loss. 

Gail shares her experience shedding pounds sustainably without counting, measuring or weighing in our video interview below.  

Watch and be inspired!  Gail achieved all of this while eating unlimited amounts of potatoes, rice, beans, pasta, fruit and more!

How Diane Shed Pounds Sustainably at 71 Years Old

Diane came to me tired all of the time.  At 71 years old, she’s the caretaker for her mother and was exhausted.  She couldn’t keep up with grandkids and was the heaviest she’d ever been and was uncomfortable to say the least.  

Plus, she has diabetes and was struggling with painful neuropathy symptoms.  Diane also has Crohn's disease and high cholesterol.  She’d been cancer free for a year and wanted her strength back.  

She wanted a sustainable lifestyle change that wouldn’t just help her lose weight, but something realistic that would also get her energy back and improve her health problems.  

So, she hired me, Trisha Mandes as her personal Nutritionist, cheerleader and accountability coach.  And I’m so glad she did because…

Look at what Diane achieved in just 10 weeks of eating optimally!  Click the video below to watch my interview with her! 

In 10 weeks Diane…

• Eliminated her neuropathy symptoms! “I had neuropathy at least once or twice a day – it was an irritating buzzing around my feet.  And after 11 days of eating optimally, I’ve only felt it maybe once or twice in total.” 

• Said “I line danced with my husband last night!” and started going on walks with him again too

• Is sleeping better – “I don’t wake up as much in the middle night after just 6 days of eating optimally.  I’m only waking up 1-2x a night vs 4 within just one week!”

• Isn’t as tired in the morning when she wakes up now. 

• Lost 13 lbs and hit a number on the scale she hasn’t seen in a YEARS

• Can rip and run with the grandkids again! Her energy began increasing within 7 days!  She even took them swimming and can play in the yard with them again!

• Started taking exercise classes and water aerobics again

• Eliminated her knee pain

• Is no longer out of breath

• Is no longer taking daily naps

• Improved her bowel movements

• Meeting with doctors soon to reduce medications

Diane didn’t achieve all of this because she lost 13 pounds in 10 weeks.  She achieved such therapeutic results as a direct result of the FOOD she was EATING and eating multiple times a day.

That’s what makes eating optimally so different – it’s powerful not just for weight loss, but reducing pain, increasing energy, reducing blood pressure and inflammation and the list goes on.

When you start FEELING better quick AND you’re losing weight (and eating potatoes and bread on the journey!) you WANT to keep doing it.  It’s a recipe for success!

How Janine Shed 48 Pounds At 71 Years Old

One of my favorite parts of my job is seeing my clients accomplish their health and weight goals especially when they didn’t believe it was possible.  I love seeing my clients in their 60s and 70s exceed their own expectations.  

Just like my client Janine Heydrick of Florida…

She lost 48 lbs at 71 years old in 7.5 months! But WOW she accomplished so much more than just weight loss from eating optimally.  More than she imagined she could!

I’m sharing my client success interview with her below so prepare to be inspired! 

I remember my first conversation with Janine before she hired me as her Nutritionist… 

At 71 years old, she was very unhappy with her weight, was tired all the time, and was taking naps in the middle of the day.  She was taking medications she didn’t want to.  Janine felt like she was falling apart but had no motivation.  Her doctor recommended she get a Nutritionist.  So she did and I’m SO glad she did because here’s what Janine accomplished from working together for 7.5 months… Click the video below or keep reading!

Janine…

• Lost 48 pounds and is maintaining it!

• Reduced her blood pressure medication by 50% within the first 10 weeks of eating optimally!

• Eliminated her pain medication – Hydrocodone.  The pain in her feet and legs disappeared almost instantly when she started eating optimally so no need for the pain medication anymore! The pain used to be a 10/10.

• Exercises almost 5 days a week now and she wasn’t exercising at all before she started eating optimally!  It’s been YEARS since she’s had a routine like this.  

• She prioritizes taking care of her health now that she knows what to do and what works!

• Can walk up a flight of stairs without being out of breath again.

• Can do anything she wants without worrying about her weight and health anymore! Love this!

• Falls asleep more easily AND now she’s waking up rested! Her sleep has improved.

• Is going on a European trip with her granddaughter to visit 9 countries! She would have never been able to do that before eating optimally (to use her words). She’s going zip lining!

You’re never “too old” or “too anything” to improve your health and Janine is living proof!

How Sharon Eliminated Medications in Three Weeks From Optimal Eating

Have you ever felt utterly hopeless trying to lose weight? Have you ever felt fed up with doctors pushing meds and telling you to lose weight but not how to lose it?  

That’s exactly how Sharon felt at 63 years old before she hired me as her Nutritionist.  She was fed up with doctors pushing meds and hopeless about being able to lose weight.  And she wanted to shed pounds sustainably. No more diets! 

Sharon loved to walk and be active but just couldn’t get herself to do it – she had no energy and stamina to do the things she loved.

So, she signed up to chat with me to see if/how I could potentially help her shed pounds sustainably.

I was her last ditch effort.  She hired me as her Nutritionist and wow, just wow I am SO glad she did because LOOK at what Sharon accomplished for herself eating optimally!  No pills, no products, no shots, no counting, measuring or weighing… just eating optimally for her unique tastebuds, diagnosis, and lifestyle…

In 3 weeks of eating optimally with Nutritionist, Trisha Mandes, Sharon… 

• Eliminated three medications! Two for diabetes and one blood pressure medication!  That’s how powerful eating optimally can be!

• Started walking again daily. Woo hoo!

It’s been ONE year of eating optimally for Sharon now (a huge accomplishment!) and…

• She lost 42 pounds and maintained that loss for a year!

• Her husband also lost 37 pounds! 

• No longer struggles from knee pain. She can walk up and down flights of stairs without pain. 

• Was able to take care of her mother and support her when she was ill.

• Can now get on the floor and play with her grand baby.

How Diana Shed 45 pounds at 59 years old!

Last week I interviewed a client that lost 45 pounds in 8 months from eating optimally.  Today, I’m delighted to share my interview with her – Diana, from Southern California. 

She’s 59 and learned how to eat optimally based on her goals, tastebuds, and lifestyle from me, Nutritionist, Trisha Mandes.  Which is amazing because before eating optimally and working with me Diana felt…

• Hopeless.  She’d reached her highest weight ever before hiring me.

• Confused from all of the contradictory nutrition information and struggled with unsustainable diets.

• That she had to accept that she was going to be overweight for the rest of her life although she didn’t want to.  She’d been stuck not being able to keep weight off for the last 7-8 years.

Plus, she was in a lot of pain, couldn’t walk up and down the stairs and was losing her balance which scared her.

Does this sound familiar to you too?

If so, watch my interview with Diana below.  She shares all the diets she tried before she learned how to lose weight from eating optimally (and yay no counting, measuring, weighing or products to buy!).

She’s down 45 pounds (from EATING!), eliminated her heartburn, has a lot more energy, is working out again and avoided needing a CPAP machine.  Here’s her weight loss chart.  Isn’t it awesome!?…

Diana says…

“I feel probably the best I’ve felt in years. I feel good about the food that I’m eating. I feel good about what I’m putting into my body. It’s nice, and I’m learning how to cook different things and different foods I hadn’t thought of and I’m finding, oh, that’s really good!”

Click the video above to listen to my inspiring interview with Diana. 

I’m SO proud of her because she was so nervous in the beginning but she signed up anyway.  She took action for herself amongst the fear and I’m SO glad she did because look at what she’s accomplished!

Diana is a great reminder that you can do hard things that help you!
