At some point, we all get a wake-up call
... that moment when you realize your body isn’t just yours to use and abuse however you want. It’s the vehicle that carries every dream you have yet to chase, every conversation you have left to enjoy, every person you love who wants you around for a long, long time.
And I need you to hear this: You are NOT done yet.
Years ago, before I ever got into this side of my work and was still working in the hospital setting, before I reversed my own metabolic struggles, I was constantly running on fumes.
I thought I was doing everything right -- I was an athlete! I was exercising, “eating healthy,” staying active -- but deep down, I knew many things were off. I was drained, moody, not as strong as I should have been. My metabolism was shot. My blood sugar was climbing. My energy was unpredictable. I wasn't getting a regular period ... and NEVER had.
And my doctors said, “Well, this is just what happens, sometimes.”
Except... it wasn’t.
That was a lie.
The truth? I didn’t know what I didn’t know. And neither did they.
And the moment I took my health into my own hands, everything changed.
More energy. More muscle. More clarity. More confidence.
Not just in my body, but in every single thing I did.
And once I felt what good actually felt like, I knew I could never go back.
The thing about fat loss and metabolic health? It’s never just about the weight. It’s about who you become in the process.
When you build strength, you build confidence.
When you feel energized, you start dreaming bigger.
When your brain is sharp, you make bolder decisions.
When your body moves the way you need it to, you stop playing small.
This isn’t just about looking good in a pair of jeans. This is about turning up the dial on your entire existence. Because in your 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s? You don’t want to be shrinking. You want to be expanding.
You want to be active, bold, vibrant, unapologetic You want to be taking up space, doing things that scare you, living so fully that people half your age can’t keep up.
I want you to climb mountains at 60.
I want you to dance at your grandchild’s wedding at 80.
I want you to laugh so hard with friends at 90 that you cry.
And I want you to walk into every damn room like you belong there. Because you do.
But here’s the kicker: it doesn’t just happen.
You have to demand it.
You have to train for it.
You have to give your body what it needs so it can give you the life you want.
The people who wait until they “have time” to take care of themselves? They wake up at 70 and wish they had started sooner.
The people who get after it now?
They break generational cycles. They rewrite stories. They become the kind of person who is both vulnerable and confident, humble and bold.
This is a walking, talking representation of metabolic health.
Your future self is out there waiting for you.
She’s watching the choices you’re making today.
She’s hoping you don’t let her down.
So tell me ... what’s the version of YOU that you want to be in 10, 20, 30 years? And are you making moves today to make sure she exists?
Hit reply and tell me. I want to know. Truly.
XO,
Tara
