#105 - Coming off Keto, fixing her cycle issues and changing her body composition with a Pro-metabolic approach with Renee Mcdonald

Uncategorized Apr 06, 2022

I love Renee. She is so awesome. Renee is actually 35 years old with 5 kids AND she works as a midwife. It’s really incredible how she’s managed everything. She started with our challenge, then entered the WinAtLife program.

Renee was one of those women who came and really applied herself. She had already been going to the gym 5 years prior to starting with us, but she had gone through all the diets, from low carb to keto and more. Renee says she would get great results and lose body fat but it was never sustainable and she would then have to do yet another challenge or diet. She also suffered from cycle issues and PMS and her doctor was trying to get her to take anti-depressants. She wanted to find a sustainable approach where she could change her body composition and fix her cycle issues.

Today, she’s been in our program for 12 months. In this episode, Renee and I chat about:

Her chronic fatigue issues

Symptoms she experienced on other diets and her keto...
