From Inflammation to Transformation: Amber’s Weight Loss Journey


Listen Later

Amber has made incredible progress—losing 30 pounds and three dress sizes—all while managing rheumatoid arthritis and reducing inflammation.

Her journey is truly inspiring, and I’m so excited to share it with you.

We talk about:

  • Amber’s starting point: Struggling with rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation, and frustration from working hard in the gym without seeing results.

  • Why previous approaches didn’t work: Amber shares her experience with a registered dietitian who gave her generic advice that didn’t address her specific needs.

  • Coach Kendal's support: From tackling inflammation through nutrition to focusing on adding nutrients rather than restricting food.

  • Practical anti-inflammatory strategies: The role of high-protein options like lactose-free cottage cheese and Greek yogurt, and avoiding triggers like fried foods, sugar, and dairy.

  • Mindset shifts for success: Why focusing on what you can add to your diet (like fruits, veggies, and protein) is more sustainable than a restrictive approach.

  • Gym recovery improvements: Amber explains how reducing inflammation and improving nutrition helped her recover faster from strength training.

  • Lessons learned: The surprising insights Amber gained about "trigger foods" and why some foods aren’t as satisfying as we remember.
