At Full Bloom Acres Wellness, I help women over 40 take back control of their health. Many of my clients feel frustrated and stuck, and Pattie was no different. When she came to me, her daily life was full of pain and discomfort. She felt tired and hopeless. This is her story of how my program helped her feel better and enjoy life again.

Pattie’s Struggle with Chronic Pain and Health Issues

When Pattie started the Happy Gut, Happy YOU! coaching program, she told me about the pain she faced every day. Her problems included:

  • Digestive Issues and Stomach Pain: She dealt with bloating, gas, and stomach cramps. She felt nervous about eating and avoided going out with friends.

  • Joint and Muscle Pain: Her knees hurt, her joints were stiff, and her muscles ached. Even walking her dog was hard.

  • Low Energy and Restless Sleep: Despite spending 8 hours in bed, she woke up tired and unready for the day.

  • Skin Problems and Inflammation: Rashes and redness made her feel embarrassed and added to her struggles.

Pattie felt like she had tried everything. She changed her diet, used medications, and even tried supplements, but nothing worked for long. “I feel like my body is working against me,” she said during her first session. Like many of my wonderful clients, Pattie didn’t know what to try next and needed real answers.

The Step-by-Step Plan to Help Pattie Heal

At Full Bloom Acres Wellness, we focus on the root causes of health problems. After reviewing Pattie’s health history, performing a detailed assessment, and analyzing her test results, I identified her key issues:

  1. Gut Imbalances: Her digestive problems were caused by an imbalance in her gut bacteria.

  2. Chronic Inflammation: Inflammation worsened her joint pain, skin problems, and overall discomfort.

  3. Hormonal Imbalances: Menopause symptoms and blood sugar fluctuations contributed to her struggles.

Here’s the plan I created with Pattie to help her feel better:

  • Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition: We focused on easy, nutritious meals with high-fiber vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

  • Gut Health Support: Adding foods like yogurt and specific supplements improved her digestion.

  • Stress Management: Breathing exercises and calming activities helped reduce her stress and improve her health. Pattie found a gentle blend of lavender and ylang ylang essential oils also helped in a new way.

  • Gentle Movement: Light exercises done consistently helped her ease joint pain and build strength.

  • Targeted Supplements: Specific vitamins and nutrients supported her body’s natural healing process.

How Pattie Lost 20 Pounds and Got Off Medications

In addition to addressing her pain, Pattie wanted to lose weight. She had thyroid problems, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure, as well as struggles with emotional eating. Here’s how I helped her achieve big results in just 12 weeks:

  1. A Balanced Meal Plan: I introduced an easy-to-follow meal plan with foods she loved. Adding more physical activity helped her see quick progress.

  2. Tackling Emotional Eating: Pattie often grabbed snacks out of boredom or stress. We cleaned out her pantry, replacing unhealthy foods with better options. She also started new stress-relief habits like daily walks and crafting with her daughter.

  3. Setting Healthy Boundaries: She created clear schedules for work and family, allowing her to focus on her health without feeling overwhelmed.

Pattie’s results after 12 weeks included:

  • Significant Weight Loss: She lost 20 pounds.

  • Reduced Medications: She stopped taking cholesterol meds and reduced two others with her doctor’s support.

  • Healthier Eating Habits: She no longer ate out of boredom or stress.

  • Better Work-Life Balance: New routines made her feel more in control and less stressed.

The Results: Pattie’s New Life

By the end of six months, Pattie’s transformation was incredible. Here’s how her life changed:

  • Improved Digestion: “I can eat without worrying,” she shared. She enjoyed meals without stomach pain or bloating.

  • Pain-Free Living: Healthy foods and gentle exercises eased her joint and muscle pain. Walking her dog became a daily joy.

  • Increased Energy: With better sleep and steady blood sugar, Pattie woke up feeling refreshed and ready for the day.

  • Clear, Healthy Skin: Her rashes and redness disappeared, boosting her confidence.

  • Confidence and Control: Pattie felt empowered to manage her health and saw her body as a partner, not an enemy.
