Kim: weight gain, body pain, low energy

So before going to Med Matrix, I um kind of changed uh careers and the new career put me in a desk. Um and so for five years sitting behind a desk, I had lost muscle tone and put on quite a bit of weight. Um and knowing that I started trying to do stuff on my own but just was not successful. Mhm. Um so hearing some of the ads um on the radio, I thought I would check out Med Matrix and um see what there was to offer and um it seemed like a great support group uh with some structure that got me going. Um and so yeah, it's been pretty fantastic. That's great. uh probably probably about four years. Um I just really started noticing after being at the um the job where I was just sitting all the time that like I just was it was harder to move around, harder to get up and down. Um I could tell I was losing muscle. Um, and so that um, yeah, they just got worse from there. Mhm. Gotcha. How so? How were those things affecting quality of life for you? Hard keeping up with grandkids when you can't get up and down off the floor easily. Um, so yeah, just um having a hard time uh downstairs and I thought I'm far too young to be having issues like that. So, um definitely felt like I needed to find something that was going to work for me because, um I've tried lots of things in the past and I've loved boot camps and I've loved um some of the things that I've done, but um at my age, I needed to find something that I wasn't going to damage um joints or or give myself any type of sports injuries. Yeah, I totally agree. All right. Thanks for sharing. And then so why did you initially choose Men Matrix and then what did you end up doing as far as treatment and then how how have those outcomes been for you? Um so hearing hearing the ads on the radio was what brought me to Med Matrix to make that initial call and go in for a consultation. Um I I joined right away. I I mean I went home, thought about it, talked to my husband. Um but then initially joined um I did the semiglue tide and I did I think it was a um 12 week program initially where it was doing a workout class twice a week and the semiglutide and then meeting with the providers there and doing some counseling and stuff uh for nutrition and everything. um in in 12 weeks I I noticed big results. So um that got me moving moving forward and wanting to continue. So that's what I um I have even sought out more workout stuff. So doing some hot yoga twice a week and then orange I'm doing orange theory now twice a week for weights and cardio. That's awesome. Wow. I love to hear that. And so what were the when you say big results, what were those results specifically for you? Um the weight was coming off easily. Um the the one thing that I did love about the semiglutide was the the food noise went away. Um I I love food. Food loves me. Um I it's like being in the kitchen and eating and being with family and friends and stuff. That was huge. But um the semiglutai just took away all the food noise so you could just enjoy yourself and enjoy the people and not overeat. Um so it made it very easy. Um, and then noticing the, you know, losing losing the body fat, seeing, um, I love the inbody scan. I love seeing, you know, the the gain in muscle weight, um, and how it tracks everything. Yeah, that's awesome. So, you actually put on muscle mass, is that right? Yeah, I've put on a lot of muscle mass. That's so awesome because a lot of people they go on, you know, these GOP ones and if it's not managed right, they lose muscle and and but they they lose some weight but they lose muscle and then it's like, you know, they're injury prone. It's not safe. So love yeah building muscle. Um and so how has that impacted you know quality life now for you as far as like confidence, mood, just day-to-day things? How is you know improving health rolled over? Oh yeah. So so much better. So, I'm you know out out on the bikes and rolling around on the ground with the grandkids and um up and down stairs easily. Um it's made a huge difference. Um and you know, muscle muscle metabolizes food better for your body, so you're just overall healthier. Yeah, that's awesome. Wow. I love to hear that. Um, so what would you say to someone who's skeptical, you know, or feels they've tried everything and they're considering uh working with us as a patient? Um, I mean 12 weeks is a short short period of time to give it a try. So I would say, you know, commit to 12 weeks of of movement and and the GLP1 to try it and make your mind up after that. Um, I do have a neighbor next door. She actually just started um on it. You know, there is no there is no right or wrong way. It's what's going to work for you. Um, and that's what I loved about Med Matrix is they really took the time to learn my lifestyle and try to input things that were going to help make me successful. W awesome. All right.
