Episode 228 Wendy Hinkle Taquino-A journey leading to renewed health and a new lease on life.

57 minutes

Wendy is a recovering life-long emotional eater, food addict, and yo-yo dieter. IF was the missing tool she

needed to gain control of her cravings, to help her dig in and deal with the root issues of her bingeing - both biologically and emotionally.

She was put on her first diet at 11. But what nobody knew at the time was that she had some trauma that she was

trying to bury with food. And that would be her coping mechanism for the next 25 years. But she did every diet out there to try and manage it. Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, and every other fad. She’s lost and gained thousands of pounds over her lifetime.

In 2006, all of the pain that she’d been trying to keep at bay came bubbling up, and she had a nervous breakdown

and struggled with major depression for two solid years. She had binged her way up to 285 pounds in a short time.

After years of therapy and emotional healing, she was finally ready to tackle the weight gain and become a whole, integrated, and healthy person. Ready to heal her body after working to heal her mind and heart. Even though she doesn’t recommend it to anyone now, she had

Weight Loss Surgery in 2017 and lost 80 pounds in the first year. But then struggled to lose 20 more the next until she found that doing a Keto diet worked for her. In 2019, she met and married her amazing husband, who brought

carbs back into her life and house. And regained 20 pounds.

In 2020, she found IF, and she was determined not to put all the weight she’d worked hard to lose back on. She didn't know then that it would also help her heal her metabolism! She went on to lose an additional 40 pounds and has been maintaining a 140-pound loss with IF for almost four years now!
