My Eleventh Finding...
I have kind of done this ass backwards - which is why I decided to place this finding in the first position.
I wish I would have found things out in the opposite direction – it would have saved me a lot of frustration.
Let me give you a quick summary of things:
- In 2019 I weighed 124 pounds and was seemingly healthy until I wasn’t
- I had surgery on 3 hernias which took them 10 months to diagnose and then a longer wait to fix
- During this wait, I found my 1st Finding – Candida Overgrowth
- In early 2020 – literally 3 weeks prior to the first Covid shut down where I live – I had surgery to repair the 3 hernias
- After my surgery – even during recovery I started to gain weight
- This is what started this journey
My Weight Gain and Things I have tried:
- Gained weight
- 2nd Finding – Hormone Imbalance
- Weight gain continued regardless of what I tried – 3rd Finding
- Changed Eating Habits (June 2020 – Present) (Did each one at least 3-5 months for a true outcome)
- Did Keto - gained 7 lbs
- Added Keto Gummies
- Did Candida Diet – gained 3 lbs
- Took Hormone Supplements
- Did Apple Cider Vinegar
- Tried Intermittent Fasting – gained 11 lbs
- Did Zone Diet – this worked for me for years and now it wasn’t – 4th Finding
- Tried Keto again – gained 4 lbs
- Did the Keto Gummies again
- Did Gluten Free Diet – lost 12 lbs and then gained 16 pounds
- Tried Zone Diet again
- Added Exercise (June 2020 – Present) (Did each one at least 6 months for a true outcome)
- Found exercises to assist women over 40 with Metabolic & Hormone Issues
- Found a different exercise even more geared towards women with my struggles– 5th Finding
- Started Doing Cleanses – especially ones for my Liver – 6th Finding
- Added More Supplements – 7th Finding
- Thyroid Issues – 8th Finding
- Did even more Research (something I have been doing this whole time to try to figure this shit out) – 9th Finding
- Back to the Liver – 10th Finding
- Changed Eating Habits (June 2020 – Present) (Did each one at least 3-5 months for a true outcome)
So, for a few years now, I was trying tons of different things to try to get different results and the only results I was getting were these:
Continued:
- weight gain
- frustration
- lower self-esteem and confidence
- disappointment
- and the list goes on – if you know what I mean
A couple of things that surprised me the most throughout this journey:
- continual weight gain regardless of what I tried
- other people were having results and mine were going in the wrong direction???
- We went on a summer vacation and for 4 weeks I didn’t exercise, didn’t watch what I ate or drank – didn’t care – honestly, I ate the worst I have in my life and consumed more alcohol than I have in years – and gained 1 pound (that doesn’t even make sense on any level)
- Upped my research
Here are my new findings – Eleventh Finding
This gave me the information that started me down my newest road of this journey!

So from the information from the videos, I started doing this:
Before I eat anything I have a shot to help the inflammation and boost my metabolism. Squeeze half a lemon, add turmeric, ginger & cayenne pepper (I started with ¼ teaspoon and am now up to ½ teaspoon) Then wait half an hour until I have breakfast
Before lunch I have another shot that is one ounce matcha green tea with turmeric, ginger & cayenne pepper.
I have started taking these toxin binders:
Zeolite with activated charcoal - drops that go in your water
Apple Pectin Capsules
Black Seed Oil
For some good information on toxin binders, see: https://www.immanencehealth.com/how-and-when-to-use-binders
I have also started to do detox baths every evening to assist in the detox process and help ease the inflammation.

With the above items, I feel that I am now started to address the toxins and inflammation in my body.
So now, I needed to look further into assisting my body by adding the right foods & exercise. Ones I have tried previously haven’t given the results I wanted, but maybe it had more to do with the toxins and inflammation.
Based on what Dr. Pompa said in the first video – if good things can’t get into your cells due to the inflammation – it won’t work. So what I tried previously, might have worked in conjunction with what I am doing now, however, I thought I would try something different.
These are the exercises I am doing - cost $30 USD. It is a 90 day exercise program - obviously there is more you can spend depending on what you choose.
I took the quiz and it set me up with the Fat Loss Extreme Program. So I am working my way through that!
It has menu and information on food as well, but I preferred trying the MetaBoost Menu through Svelte.
It is very interesting. I did that quiz and I am on the MetaBoost Menu - it was also $30 USD. I have done the Metabolic Flush and then the 3 day menu and am now on the 7 day menu. It is good - I am enjoying it and waiting to hopefully see some results in the near future!
I am also doing the isometric exercises involved in this and feel that between the eating habits, and the two different styles of exercises – which really is way less exercise than I am used to doing that I am in a good place to finally get the results I have been wanting.
I am currently sleeping better and deeper than I have in years and have been doing this for less than 2 weeks. I don’t have any remarkable results to share as of yet but believe this time I will.
I believe that my surgery affected me to the extent that it did because I have always had issues with my digestive system and my bowel has been very lazy and has not done its job well. This is something I have worked on through the years, it has gotten better but it still needs to improve. I am hopeful that all this will assist with that as well.
My Start Weight: 175 lbs
My Height: 5’4”
My Goal: Get my health back, lose 50 lbs, feel better, regain my self-esteem and confidence
I hope that this provides you with some different information and maybe helps you on some level.
