How Slendacor® Supports Weight Loss
Slendacor® is the clinically studied, patented botanical complex at the core of GoTrim Slim. Each daily serving provides 900 mg of Slendacor®, a proprietary blend of:
• Moringa oleifera (leaf extract)
• Murraya koenigii (curry leaf extract)
• Curcuma longa (turmeric rhizome extract)
What Slendacor® Does:
• Non stimulant thermogenesis: Helps increase calorie burning at rest by supporting resting metabolic rate
• Fat metabolism support: Promotes lipolysis (the breakdown of stored fat)
• Hormonal balance: Helps support healthy levels of adiponectin (linked to fat metabolism) and may help reduce ghrelin (the “hunger hormone”)
• Body composition support: Clinical studies showed reductions in body weight, BMI, and waist to hip ratio when combined with diet and exercise
• Cardiometabolic wellness: Helps maintain normal cholesterol and glucose levels
A 16 week double blind clinical study demonstrated statistically significant results, with some participants noticing changes in as little as two weeks.

BLE is the first program to combine the expertise of a bariatric mental health clinician and a bariatric registered dietitian to deliver a groundbreaking, 16-week whole-person transformation for every stage of the bariatric journey.

It equips patients for surgery with confidence and clarity.
It rescues patients who are struggling post-op.
Most importantly, it delivers what bariatric care has lacked for decades:

Empowerment.

When patients understand their minds and their bodies…
When they can identify emotional triggers and nutritional gaps…
When they know how to challenge sabotaging thoughts…
When they’ve practiced micro-habits that retrain the brain…
When they recognize internal and external barriers with clarity…
Everything changes.
Regain becomes preventable.
Revisional surgeries become less necessary.
Confidence replaces shame.
Patients feel hopeful — and providers feel supported.
Everybody wins.
BLE is more than just a program.
It is a new standard of education.
A missing pillar of bariatric care.
A movement to empower every patient, in every clinic, everywhere—redefining what’s possible in bariatric care.

BLE: Bariatric Lifestyle Essentials
A 16-Week Path to Clarity, Healing, and Lasting Change

If you’ve regained weight after bariatric surgery…
If emotional eating keeps pulling you back…
If exhaustion, shame, or self-doubt are wearing you down…

It’s not because you lack willpower.
It’s because you’ve never been given the full picture.

Your struggle has roots — biological, emotional, nutritional, and cognitive — and when you finally understand them, everything changes.

BLE was created by a bariatric mental health clinician and a bariatric nutrition expert with more than 40 years of combined experience.
Together, they designed the integrated roadmap that has helped thousands of patients understand:

Why cravings happen

Why motivation disappears

Why regain is common

Why shame makes everything harder

Why old habits return under stress
from
Why the inner critic speaks so harshly

Why your thoughts matter more than you realize

Why sleep, hormones & vitamins affect your weight

Why tiny habits create massive momentum

For the first time, you’ll get the whole truth about what’s been happening in your mind and body — and how to move forward with clarity, self-compassion, and confidence.

This is the moment when the scales fall off your eyes.
This is where everything starts making sense.
And this is where your next chapter begins.

She provides great workouts especially when it is freezing outside. You will need some hand weights but that is it. Check it out :)

A recent study from Australia suggests that high intensity interval training may be optimal for body composition in older adults, by helping to lose fat while preserving muscle.
