Connie Franklin Lost 65 Pounds and Reduced Chronic Inflammation with Elevate Health & Wellness

I reached out to Elevate Health and Wellness because I was very overweight. The pandemic was difficult, moved to remote work and just other family stressors with a family illness. I turned way to food and it was just a really difficult time, but also because I was on a lot of medications that I really didn't think I needed to be on. And last, but most importantly, I really wanted to get down on the ground and play with my two grandchildren and it really was quite an effort to do it at the time and worked with Marrie in a previous role and just really appreciated what she was doing and wanted to try it. Marrie's approach is different from what I have dealt with in the past. Mainly that she is coming at it from not only just the wellness portion, but also having that medical background was important to me. So she could understand how some of the medications that I was on was impacting me, that she could understand that what was causing some of my inflammation, back pain, fatigue. And the best part about Marrie's plan for me personally was that she was accessible by email anytime. I mean, she would respond within 24 hours for sure. The health benefits that I have received since working with Marrie have been incredible. The first twelve weeks I was on the plan I lost almost 48 pounds and just getting the weight off itself was incredible. And I have had significant reduction in inflammation within my body. And also again, I had knee and back pain that has subsided quite significantly. I also think that one of my huge benefits that I saw is I have been on several health plans throughout my life and rapidly gained and rapidly lost. But this program, the way it's set up is that you don't just lose weight, you lose fat. When I started the program I was McDonald's and sugar and soda pop and lots of different things. But what I found out it was number one is that intermittent fasting definitely works. It really does. And once you get into it I didn't know if I could do it, but once you get into it, it is fantastic. And this truly is the first program where I've seen a significant reduction in the amount of fat around my waist and the rest of my body. And I'm down just a little short of 65 pounds today. What I enjoyed about Marrie the most was, again, that individual attention, and she genuinely cares about her clients. There is a financial cost to it. But in talking with friends and family, even at the beginning, before I even knew if it was going to work, I said, if you figure out the cost per week, is it really worth it if you're going to get your health and your life back? I thought for sure, yes, it was. And it truly has worked out very well for me.
