Certified Personal Health Advisor
Renee Tyra

I am a 32 year old mother of three who until recently, was limping around feeling like my life had little potential. I wasn’t just a little affected by my weight, I had real issues! At a very unhealthy weight, I could hardly walk, breathe or even sleep because of severe sleep apnea. When I did try to "diet", I would feel like such a failure because I would give into my hunger or physical tiredness. I would try to exercise, but my joints were carrying too much weight. I had injury after injury just from exercising alone. I had to stand for a soccer game once and just the stress on my joints for that couple of hours put me in bed for 5 whole days! Something had to change.

Not only was I dealing with anemia, but I had been diagnosed with an auto-immune disease and put on steroids, which only caused more weight gain. My blood pressure and heart rate were both very high and I was constantly in and out of doctor’s offices trying to treat the symptoms of my weight. I felt that I had finally had enough and started to pursue gastric bypass surgery as I felt it was my only hope. For 2 years I fought with my insurance company with full support from my doctor. Even though I fought to be approved, I never really had peace in my heart about having a gastric bypass.

I prayed it out several times and asked God to lead me in the right direction. After someone close to me died from complications of gastric bypass, I decided that was a final straw. I could no longer sit around and wait for permission from an insurance company to live my life, nor did I feel that surgery was the right solution for me. I also knew of a few gastric bypass patients who were gaining some of their weight back and that really terrified me. I came to realize that gastric bypass is just a tool. Tools can be misused by anyone. The mental and physical reasons to why we overeat need to be dealt with truthfully, or there will be no permanent weight loss no matter what diet/surgery tool we use.

I decided that I would use Take Shape for Life as my tool, and I never looked back! I am off of two of my medications already. My blood pressure is 120/72. Instead of my heart rate hovering around 110, it’s in the 80s these days. My anemia is gone. I can breathe when I sleep and have more energy than I know what to do with! I have so much confidence in this program. It is the first that not only addressed my hunger and cravings, but it gives me a Health Advisor that is there to help me along the way. I don’t know of any other program that comes with a personal coach for free! Take Shape for Life has turned my health completely around. It gave me back hope. Hope is exciting and also contagious!

Being a Health Advisor for Take Shape for Life not only keeps me motivated, but truly fulfills my desire to help others see that not only are they not alone, but also that there is finally a REAL solution for obesity..
