I need to update a weekly pic but it's cold today and I will wait until tomorrow.
But what I will share are real results. If losing inches matter to a person.
I joined a 28 day reset in July. they gave us a worksheet. I couldn't afford to eat all the foods that was in her meal plan. But I tried to follow the guidelines somewhat.
Here are my numbers and what I was in July. I did not lose a lb. I gained 3 on that deal but I thought it was really fun and worth it. Yesterday I found that worksheet and found my measuring tape and got new measurements. This is the change since Dr Jodi's reset. No working out just eating good food.

From Dr. J
💡 Why No One’s Ever Told You This Before

You ever wonder why something so simple… so logical… can change your entire health - and yet no medical doctor, diet, or health expert ever told you?

I’ve wondered that too.

Because what I teach in the Full Body Reset isn’t some wild, new idea. It’s basic human biology… the way the body was designed to heal.

Your liver, thyroid, and mitochondria all work together ...one system, one rhythm.
When that rhythm gets disrupted - from toxins, stress, processed food, or years of “dieting” - your body stops burning fat and starts storing it.
Your hormones get confused.
Your energy crashes.
And you get stuck in survival mode.

Every single symptom - weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, hormone chaos - comes back to that same imbalance.

So why hasn’t anyone told you this before?

Because the system you live in doesn’t profit from people who heal.
The diet industry makes money when you fail and come back.
Pharmaceutical companies make money when you stay dependent.
Even “functional medicine” often sells complexity instead of empowerment.

Nobody wins financially when you learn how to fix your metabolism with food and minerals.

That’s why this Reset had to come from outside the system.
From someone who’s lived it, researched it, and pieced it together by looking at the body as a whole - not as fragments.

~~~

You’ve seen little bits of this truth scattered here and there:
• Ray Peat talking about metabolism
• Dr. Gerson’s detox work
• Dr. Brownstein’s iodine therapy
• Dr. Berg’s insulin focus

But no one connected the dots into one simple, doable framework that actually fits into real life.

That’s what the Reset is.
It’s not a diet - it’s a reprogramming.
It’s what happens when you stop working against your body and start working with it again.

~~~

So if this feels different… it’s because it is.
You’re finally hearing what your body’s been trying to tell you all along.
It doesn’t need restriction.
It doesn’t need punishment.
It just needs rhythm, minerals, and real nourishment again.

And when you give it that…
It heals. Every time. 🌿

Wow!! I can see the changes each week.

I feel like we have similar stories. When I got my cancer diagnosis time stopped for a little bit and everything felt in slow motion only it really was the opposite. Decisions to make and quickly. Trying to breathe or remember how. Then the healing.
This is where my massage therapy education began. to give back. To support, to assist. And when you are told you have the C word, everything changes in that instant. You don't get to walk away, you don't get to hug someone and say you will pray for them and then go on about your day. It hits different, internally, emotionally, and your outlook for a future immediately snaps you back to a new version of your reality.

Have a blessed day.

From Dr Jodi.
Seed Oils: The Silent Killer Hiding in Every “Healthy” Snack.

If you’ve ever wondered why you feel inflamed, sluggish, puffy, or exhausted after eating foods that are marketed as “healthy”…
this is why.

It’s not the carbs.
It’s not the calories.
It’s not your willpower.

It’s the seed oils.

Canola.
Soybean.
Corn.
Cottonseed.
Grapeseed.
Sunflower.
Safflower.
Rice bran.

They’re in everything.
Crackers.
Protein bars.
Granola.
Salad dressings.
Organic snacks.
Vegan foods.
Gluten-free foods.
Frozen meals.
Fast food.
Healthy food.
Kid food.

Everything.

And they are destroying people from the inside out.

Here’s what they don’t tell you:

🔥 Seed oils trigger chronic inflammation
50 percent of autoimmune issues start with inflammation caused by toxic fats.

⚡ Seed oils shut down mitochondrial function
Your mitochondria are your energy factories.
When they go down, you go down - fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, anxiety, cravings, hormone chaos.

💥 Seed oils oxidize inside the body
They literally rust your cells from within.
They damage DNA.
They age you prematurely.
They inflame your arteries.
They disrupt your hormones.

⚠️ Seed oils hijack your metabolism
Your body doesn’t know what to do with them.
They get stored, not burned.
They block fat-burning pathways.
They keep you in a chronically inflamed, low-energy state.

And the most sinister part?

They’re marketed as “heart healthy.”

The same oils that inflame your arteries…
destroy your mitochondrial function…
and block your metabolism…
are slapped with a label that tells you they’re good for you.

Because they’re cheap.
They’re profitable.
They keep you inflamed… which keeps you sick…
which keeps you in the system.

Inflamed bodies are profitable.
Healthy ones aren’t.

You were never the problem.
Your biology isn’t broken.
Your metabolism isn’t lazy.
Your willpower isn’t weak.

Your cells are just suffocating under a toxic load of fake fats they were never designed to process.

When you remove seed oils, things start to shift fast:

✨ Inflammation drops
✨ Bloating calms
✨ Brain fog clears
✨ Energy returns
✨ Skin brightens
✨ Hormones rebalance
✨ Fat burning wakes up

Your body was always ready to heal.
It just needed the poison removed.

Seed oils are the silent killer in every “healthy” snack.
And once you stop eating what kills you…
your body remembers how to live again.

I have a client who was inspired by my posts and signed up for the reset.
I'll just leave this here.

✨ HEALING FROM THE INSIDE OUT ✨

I’m linking Dr. Jodi’s Reset below—but first, I want to share what this journey has meant for me.

You get way more than recipes and food timelines.
You get the why—why your belly is bloated, why your hormones are off, why inflammation is stuck, and how to start turning it all around.

I’m wrapping up Week 3 of the Reset, and we’ve started building this little community of people who are ready for real change.
Not quick fixes.
Not crash diets.
Not temporary success.
But true, lasting healing—from the inside out.

✅ I’m down 2 more pounds this week
✅ My bloat is way down
✅ My energy is up
✅ And I’m finally eating in a way that supports my body, not punishes it

---

Let me be honest:
Almost a year ago, I wanted to flatten my menopause belly bloat. So I did what many do—I bought all the machines and took all the courses:

🌀 Laser lipo
🌀 Radiofrequency
🌀 Cavitation
🌀 Electroporation
🌀 Serums, tools, herbal ice clays, and casting wraps

I dove deep. Because I wanted to understand what worked—not just for me, but for my clients.

---

And here’s what I discovered:

Most body contouring providers are NOT trained in lymphatics.

They’re not massage therapists.
They’re not estheticians.
They’re not medical professionals.
They take a weekend course, learn a few lymphatic strokes (barely), and start charging $800–$1,800+ for packages.

What they teach in those courses is kindergarten-level lymphatic theory.
They’re not trained to assess.
They don’t know how to clear drainage pathways.
And they don’t recognize signs of lymphatic overload or crisis.

This isn’t just a gap—it’s a risk.

As a Certified MLD Therapist, I’ve seen it firsthand.
And I’ve made a clear decision:

👉 I will NEVER take someone’s money for a service that only puts a temporary bandaid on a deeper issue.

---

So what does work?

FOOD.
Real food. Healing food. Anti-inflammatory food.
Food that supports your lymph, your liver, your gut, and your hormones.

The Reset taught me that.
And once you heal the inside, everything else becomes easier.

If you still want to do laser lipo or wraps after that? Great. But your body will be ready for it—not fighting against it.

---

We’re doing it differently here.

We’re building habits.
We’re listening to our bodies.
We’re showing up for real healing.

If you’re ready for that too, I’d love to have you in this journey with us.

3 weeks of weekly photos. If you can't see much difference that's ok. I'll point out what I see. Self critique here.
1. look at my chin and neck. First noticable difference
2. my thighs are not as big although you may not see it I can feel it when I walk.
3. look at my back fat or that fat roll on my back when I lift my arms, it's lessened.
4. Can we just talk about the belly? it definitely is moving and flattening. I do have a c section scar so I'm not expecting a huge difference - I'm in menopause -but, I can see all of my feet when I look down now and my upper waist is starting to show itself.

I took photos in different clothes just to show that if you decide to do something amazing for yourself and decide to start now or tomorrow, then using the same clothes Is better because the purple didn't really show much even though it's happened. lol
Photos are black and turquoise week 1, 2 and 3 left to right side and front angle.
photos with the different color is WK 1 and 3 only.

My husband cooked himself an egg this morning and takes one look at my bowl of fruit and was like that's a heck of a lot of fruit that should cover the whole day not just one sitting. I said nope I have to have 3 to 5 cups for breakfast. To be fair when you are used to eating the way you were brought up which is most likely not really helping you it's hard to embrace change.
But changes are exactly what I am participating in actively. I haven't even dipped into the chocolate all week.
Happy Saturday!

I’m wrapping up Week 3 of Phase 1 on the Reset with Dr. J program and wanted to share what this process has looked like in real time. If you’ve been curious about detox, inflammation, or how food can change your body from the inside out, here’s my experience so far:

✅ Down 11 lbs
✅ Feeling lighter + more energized
✅ Inflammation continues to decrease
✅ Starting to see a defined waist again!

Just a few weeks ago, my thighs rubbed together so much when I walked that it felt like moving through mud — like my whole body was weighed down. Now, I feel lighter, clearer, and more free in my movement.

---

✅ Detox Notes

Overall, detox symptoms have been minimal.

• One strong headache — I used charcoal, a salt flush, and a herbal tincture; eventually took naproxen so I could sleep.
• Several bouts of itchy feet + thigh fascial soreness — charcoal helped each time.

When I asked Dr. J about the itching, she explained something that made a lot of sense for me personally:

> Because I’ve had radioactive iodine (RAI), my iodine receptors can become more reactive or “hungry” when real iodine is reintroduced. What I was feeling wasn’t iodine sensitivity — it was receptor re-awakening and bromide displacement.

That itchy feet + thigh soreness was
➡️ bromide being pushed out through the lymph + skin — detox movement, not harm.

This clarified a LOT for me.

---

✅ Low-Back + Hip Tightness

Early in Week 3, I also had a couple days of hip + low-back discomfort. Dr. J explained that as the liver releases stored inflammation, waste often drains through back + hip fascia — major detox pathways.

So that tight / achy feeling was
➡️ the lymph + liver doing their job.

What helped:
• gentle stretching
• slow walks
• warm showers
• extra hydration + electrolytes

Optional support: lemon water, dry brushing, Epsom salt bath

Once that phase passed, I noticed even more mobility and ease.

---

✅ Phase 1 Focus

Right now I’m in Phase 1, which supports the liver so it can actually rest + detox.

Already noticing:
• Less inflammation
• More energy
• Better mobility
• Clearer waistline

It does require more grocery trips — but when you’re just grabbing fruit, veggies, and maybe lean meat, it’s surprisingly affordable. And I’m eating fresher, simpler foods, which feels amazing.

I’m sharing the full story so others can learn what’s possible when we give the body what it actually needs to heal.

This is scary about what Dr Jodi says about functional Dr's today and med spas
I'm starting week 3 of my reset.
My weight has stabilized. I'm down 2 more lbs. My body feels lighter, my clothes are a bit looser.
No pain in my body.
I've been in the cofactors for a week now. Just started the iodine about 4 days ago and so far my body isn't angry about it. The first dose I tried which was half a dose from everyone else's normal didn't agree so I had to back off wait a couple of days cut the iodine into eights and take abit 1/16th but now up to an eighth and doing great.
I don't have a thyroid so I can't take iodine like someone with a thyroid can. That radioactive iodine tx I had did a number on me. but hey that's the tx for thyroid cancer.
before and after photos.
Left is beginning of the reset and right is today's.
