#194: 20kg Down in Menopause: Sharon’s Inspiring Mindset Shifts Through Life’s Challenges
In this deeply inspiring episode, I chat with Sharon, a 53-year-old mum who has achieved an incredible 20kg weight loss transformation with the 3 Week Body Reset and Health with Bec Tribe and completely overhauled her life – all while moving house and navigating grief. After reaching her heaviest weight and struggling with menopause-related weight gain, bloating, and fatigue, Sharon hit a turning point when she saw photos of herself at her niece’s wedding. She tried other diets to help her, but nothing worked… until she discovered me! She’s now maintained her 20kg loss for 7 months, has a new-found sense of energy and confidence, and is never looking back! It’s become her new lifestyle. Sharon opens up about: ✅Why keto and intermittent fasting failed her – and how this approach was different ✅Losing 5kg in just 3 weeks (with no exercise!) and the mindset shifts that made it possible ✅How she reached her pre-kids weight for her wedding at 65kg – the lightest she’d been since before having her two boys nearly 20 years ago! ✅The simple mindset hack she used to stop negative thoughts instantly ✅Why taking the focus off the scales was key to long-term, sustainable results ✅The importance of putting yourself first as a mum – and how it benefits your kids too ✅Staying on track during grief after the sudden loss of her boys’ father ✅How she turned cooking from a chore into her “zen time” and a source of joy ✅Why excuses hold women back – and how to break free from them This episode is full of practical and actionable mindset shifts, and beautiful inspiration for any woman who feels like midlife weight loss is impossible. Sharon’s story proves that with the right approach, mindset, and support, it’s absolutely possible to make a change and transform your health and thrive, no matter what life throws at you!

#192: Michele’s 16 kg Transformation: From Insulin Resistant to Being Medication Free
In this episode, I'm joined by Michele, a 52-year-old teacher and grandmother from Melbourne, who has achieved an incredible 16 kg weight loss transformation with the 3 Week Body Reset and Health with Bec Tribe! Michele's story is particularly powerful for women navigating health challenges like insulin resistance and joint pain and stubborn weight. After entering early menopause at just 35 following a hysterectomy, Michele struggled with weight gain and health issues for 17 years. At her heaviest weight, she was on medication for insulin resistance and unable to walk for more than 15 minutes, she felt like she'd given up hope, until she discovered my program and everything changed. Her timeline is remarkable: Michele lost over 5 kg in her first 3 weeks on the 3 Week Body Reset, then 8 kg within the first 2 months. She reached her goal of losing 16 kg by month 5, and has successfully maintained that loss for 8 months. Michele opens up about: Her surprise early menopause and her 8-month fight for answers Gaining 10 kg in a year without changing her diet or exercise Losing 5 kg, getting instant energy and confidence boosts on the 3 Week Body Reset How eliminating sugar and gluten helped her lose weight and reduce inflammation Coming off insulin resistance meds Her dramatic reduction in arthritis pain – she now walks 30–40 mins pain-free Her two game-changing habits to staying on track: motivational phone reminders and pantry prep How she’s able to still eat cake and drink wine - and still lost 16 kgs (and continues to keep the weight off!) How she’s finally putting herself first, and inspiring words to help you do the same Michele's journey proves that even after 17 years of menopause struggles and hormonal shifts it's absolutely possible to transform your health and feel amazing, even in your 50s. Her story is living proof that when you address the root causes like inflammation from sugar and gluten, the results can be life-changing. This episode is packed with practical strategies and incredible inspiration for any woman who thinks lasting change isn't possible at their age or stage of life!
