Tori's story begins in 2021, when she faced weight gain and alarming health issues that pushed her to explore various diets and seek professional guidance. Despite her efforts, she found herself battling insulin resistance and worsening lab results, a struggle that many women over 35 can identify with. It wasn't until spring 2024 that Tori experienced a pivotal moment of clarity.
