Episode #33 

In today's episode, Megan and Nadia's Hot Topic is the amazing transformation of a very special guest, Melinda. Melinda is a member who has become a huge part of the TFM Community and is now part of the TFM team. She shares how she went from "Sick Melinda" to creating a new identity for herself as "Healthy Melinda". 

Listen in as Melinda shares how:

  • after one year of starting the TFM program, her A1C has dropped to 5, she is no longer a type 2 diabetic, and has lost 109 lbs
  • she is now active enough to keep up with her 2-year-old grandson
  • the foundation to her success has been figuring out a comfortable fasting "Holding Pattern" for when life gets in the way.
  • she has become part of the TFM Family as a Community mentor, providing support, guidance, and compassion to other members.
