My Personal Wellness Journey

04/17/2026

My inbox has been flooded with messages lately and I’m so glad so many of you are excited to get either:

1) on the Trim & Slim system for the first time
2) coming back to give this system a go
3) have been on the products for awhile and wanting to focus more on weight loss.

I love that Plexus has something for everyone and that gut health is at the root of every developed product.

For those asking me: “what exactly are you doing?” this post is for you-

#1-I do not miss a day!! Consistency is important. Every day you miss is like starting over again. This is Science, not sales!

#2- I start my day with coffee/cream/sugar/collagen. Hey! No judging! I’ll never give it up!😂. It’s my thing. You do you.
Mid morning I take my Slim hunger control-black cherry mixed with 1 scoop of Restore liver detox and 2 Balance. (Please don’t ask me if you can use microbiome slim or other hunger control flavors- people have tried and it does not yield the same results). I don’t know why.

#3- I eat lunch around 11-11:30pm and focus on eating protein first, carbs second. 35+g or more. Usually more. My goal is to get as close to 100g or more each day. More is better.

#4- I fast until dinner. We have been conditioned to think we need a snack in between meals or something sweet to drink but that messes with the recovery of the GLP-1 hormone. IF I decide I want an Active in the afternoon, I always time it to be 2-3 hours after lunch and always mix it with a hydrate. I’m finding I need this less and less and water is just fine. But it’s not bad to have once in a while. Again, listening to the cues.

#5- Eat a high protein dinner. Again, protein first, carbs second. Why protein first?? Because hormones respond to sequence, not calories. Protein triggers the GLP-1 hormone to begin secretion in the gut. “Food is coming, slow down, regulate appetite.” Carbs spike insulin and if they come in first inflammation is higher and cues are confused. Order matters. Again-Science.

I am done eating for the day after dinner.

Bedtime: 4 probio5, 4 biocleanse, 2 ease. Like clockwork.

When you begin to understand the hormone, you learn to treat it like a valuable asset to your health. No seed oils, no alcohol, fasting for recovery, and a good sleep at night.

The results have been amazing and I am not at all feeling like I’m missing out. I’ve barely touched a cookie, cake or Cadbury mini egg not because I’m “trying to be good”, but because they don’t even sound good.

For those who are new and watching my journey and think- “this sounds great!”, our team is having a Trim & Slim Challenge starting and you’re invited!!

💥💥💥 THE FACTS 💥💥💥

I think it’s important to clear up some of the confusion around GLP-1 medications and supplements, because this conversation is happening everywhere right now.

There are two different approaches when it comes to hunger, metabolism, and blood sugar.

Medications work by directly activating receptors that impact appetite and blood sugar.

A root-cause approach focuses on supporting the body so it can regulate those systems on its own.

And this is where people often misunderstand supplements.

Your body is designed to respond to what you eat.
Fiber, nutrients, and compounds from whole foods interact with your gut and metabolism to help release hormones like GLP-1, support insulin function, and regulate hunger.

This is happening at the cellular level. It just happens through normal physiology instead of a medication.

For example:

When you eat fiber, your gut bacteria break it down into compounds called short chain fatty acids. Those compounds signal cells in your intestine to release hormones like GLP-1, which help regulate appetite and blood sugar.

Certain plant compounds and nutrients also support pathways in the body that improve insulin sensitivity and metabolic function.

So supplements are not “doing nothing.” They are supporting the systems that control these hormones.

The difference is not cellular versus non-cellular. The difference is direct activation versus supporting the body’s natural signaling.

And when your body is functioning well, it is not just GLP-1 involved. It is multiple systems working together, including your gut, metabolism, and overall health.

But here is the reality we have to acknowledge.

Our food supply is not what it used to be.
Our soil is depleted.
Our food is less nutrient-dense.
And even when you are eating well, most people are still falling short on key nutrients.

So while food should always be the foundation, supplements help fill the gaps.

They support the gut.
They support blood sugar.
They support the systems that regulate hunger, energy, and metabolism.

And we cannot ignore lifestyle.

Movement matters.
Muscle matters.
Daily habits matter.

A lot of people are looking for something that works without having to change anything else.
But the body does not work that way long term.

Medications can be incredibly helpful for some people.
But they also come with potential side effects, and they do not fix the underlying systems.
(Read that again)

Some people are okay with that.
Others want to understand how to actually support their body and feel better long term.

This is not about replacing medication. And it is not about pretending supplements act like a prescription.

It is about understanding that we have two different approaches.

We can override the system.
Or we can support and restore it.

Both have a place.

But if your goal is long-term health, energy, and sustainability, we have to look at the foundation.

And that always starts with the gut, metabolism, movement, and giving the body what it actually needs to function well.
