“I am now down more than thirty-seven pounds since the first of the year and have set my second goal to lose thirty-five more on this plan, and I feel so much better! I just returned Saturday from a week’s vacation and am happy to say I did not gain a pound, thanks to tips from these two! In fact, when I weighed myself Monday morning, I was down a pound more!”
—LaCretia, a participant of the Eat, Live, Thrive Diet and Lifestyle Plan

“I was fifty-six years old and twenty-five pounds overweight. I was tired of carrying around menopausal weight that would not budge, no matter how hard I tried or what diet I chose. Then I stumbled onto this diet plan. After the first week, the weight began to budge and I felt better. My hair began to grow thicker and wasn’t dry anymore, and my skin had a healthy shine. At about thirty days into this diet, I decided to develop an intermittent fasting routine that fit easily with my lifestyle. Then the weight and inches started coming off even more easily. I had increased energy and felt healthy again, something I had not experienced for more than ten years. Within six months, I lost twenty-five pounds and twenty-eight overall inches. Now, one year later, I’ve easily kept all the weight and inches off. I feel as if I’ve rolled the clock back twenty years.”
—Sandi Thys, a participant of the Eat, Live, Thrive Diet and Lifestyle Plan

“Danna and Robyn were instrumental in advising me in the rebuilding of my wellness after a bout of foodborne illness. They helped me discover things my doctors could not, and my gut is thankful! I could not wait to read this book. They confirmed hunches I have had for years about the connection between my brain and my stomach. The research is thorough and fascinating. And their hearts are beautiful. This book feels like a personal coaching experience with the world’s foremost experts in body wellness for women, but it also feels like a fun conversation with two girlfriends!”
