Tracey is 54 years old and lives in Iowa.  She is married to

her high school sweetheart and the love of her life. They have 3 grown daughters and 3 granddaughters. Family is a huge part of her “why” for finally deciding in 2022 that it was time to focus on her physical health and prioritise her well-being. In her school days, Tracey was fit and athletic. Her daily activities covered the poor eating habits she developed in her teen years. Once college came, the activity decreased, and poor food choices continued; 30 years of yo-yo dieting followed. Tracey was always looking for a quick fix and focused solely on the scale and her appearance. She now reflects and understands the abuse she put her body through for years. Tipping the scales in late 2019 at almost 200 pounds on her 5’4” frame, fatigue, joint pain and pre-diabetes were taking its toll. Tracey and her husband were empty nesters and new grandparents, and she began to realize her lifestyle would keep her from enjoying the best years of her life ahead of them. Her mindset was shifting, and a journey was underway. She had no idea how much healthier and happier her future was about to become.  When she reached out to her physician one more time for help, she was told if she couldn’t go more than a couple hours before getting “hangry”, she shouldn’t consider intermittent fasting and maybe try the Mediterranean diet.  That conversation planted a seed for intermittent fasting because, after all, if Tracey is told she can’t do something, she tends to think to the contrary.  Over the next couple of years, she discovered Gin Stephens and Dr. Fung, read their books and then tucked them away until August 2022, when her mindset was fully on board for finally making a lifestyle change.  She got the books out
again and began her true IF journey.  Along the way she discovered podcasts and Facebook groups, which led her
to The Fasting Highway.  To date, Tracey has lost almost 60 pounds, gained numerous NSV’s and turned her health around!  She lives an active life with her husband of 32 years and can now keep up with her family!  She practiced dental hygiene for 15 years and in 2020, made a career
change to the business side of dental where she became a practice manager at a dental office.  She enjoys long walks, landscaping, listening to podcasts and spending as much time with her family. Tracey considers herself one blessed lady!
