"52 Points in 30 Days: From Cholesterol Meds to Community Leader, Karen's Story"
Karen 's Journey
Karen's weight had been creeping up slowly. She was on three medications for high blood pressure, and her cholesterol was up enough for her doctor to recommend medicine. She felt lethargic and very frustrated, but not "motivated" enough to do anything about it.
Until her doctor recommended cholesterol medicine.
That was her wake-up call. "No...please give me more time!"
Finding Well Your World at TrueNorth
Karen discovered Well Your World when she was at TrueNorth as a patient.
Becoming a WYW Live Cooking Show member has been the primary aspect of her success. Having access to the recipes and videos made all the difference. She focused on finding a few recipes that she could reuse regularly.
WYW continues to support her transformation. "Your creative and simple recipes support me on this journey. I love watching the videos because the audience’s influence, chats, and questions expand my creativity."
The Results: Dramatic and Fast
Karen's transformation was remarkable. Her total cholesterol dropped 52 points in just 30 days and has remained at healthy levels. Her blood pressure has lowered significantly, and she's been able to greatly reduce her prescriptions. In just a few months, she lost 13 pounds and it has stayed off for 15 years!
Life Now: More Energy and Building Community
Karen's newfound energy has transformed her daily life and sparked a passion for sharing what she's learned. She became an initial member of a monthly whole food plant-based, SOS-free potluck lunch group that rotates hosting duties, creating community around healthy eating.
Most mornings, she starts her day with oatmeal topped with fruit, nuts, cinnamon, and date powder, or a tofu scramble loaded with vegetables. The lifestyle has become second nature, fueling her days and connecting her with like-minded people who share her commitment to health.
Karen's Advice: Become a Member
Karen's advice for those starting their journey is straightforward: become a member and dive into the video library to find recipes that match your personal taste and skill level. Start with the simple ones that appeal to you, and don't be afraid to modify them.
She encourages newcomers to adjust seasonings, swap vegetables, or adapt dishes to fit what you have on hand. This flexibility makes the lifestyle sustainable and enjoyable, allowing you to create meals that truly work for you.
