Episode #225

In this powerful Member Transformation episode, Coach Terri sits down with Kirsten Hopkinson to explore how fasting has become more than just a weight-loss tool—it's reshaped her identity, health, and outlook on life. Kirsten shares how she's lost 50 pounds since joining The Fasting Method, lowered her A1C from pre-diabetic to healthy range, and discovered the deeper "why" driving her journey. From morning walks and mindset shifts to overcoming old habits and finding strength in community support, Kirsten's story is about creating sustainable change and living with purpose. If you're ready to move beyond diets and into a lifestyle of self-care, resilience, and transformation, this conversation will inspire you to take the next step.
