In this episode, Simone sits down with Wendy, a graduate of the GLP-1 Boost Lab program, to talk about her incredible 8-week transformation — done entirely naturally, without medication. Wendy shares how she navigated the loss of her father (and later, mid-program, the sudden loss of her mother-in-law), used wearable data to normalize her blood pressure and reduce cravings, and rebuilt her identity from the ground up. This is a candid, emotional conversation about grief, data-driven health decisions, neuroplasticity, and what it really means to prioritize yourself.
In This Episode, You'll Hear About:
- Wendy's life before the program: grief, weight gain, and feeling "stuck" after losing her father
- Why she was hesitant about wearing a continuous glucose monitor — and why she didn't want to take it off
- How real-time blood sugar data (fiber first, post-meal walks) changed her relationship with food
- Dropping blood pressure from the 140s to 120/117 in 8 weeks — without medication
- Losing 10 pounds and choosing not to pursue a GLP-1 prescription
- The "identity" framework: neuroplasticity, becoming "Wendy 2.0," and making decisions based on who she's becoming
- Navigating a second family loss (her mother-in-law) mid-program and leaning on her new health habits as a stabilizing "rock"
- The role of sleep, cortisol, and hunger hormones (leptin and ghrelin) in cravings and weight
- Meal prepping strategies that actually save time
- The "don't skip twice" philosophy for staying consistent without perfectionism
- What's next: Wendy's goals in the VIP phase of her journey
