After a COPD diagnosis and years of declining health, Shirley came to Sanara Wellness searching for hope. Through personalized nutrition, lifestyle changes, and ongoing support, she lost 40 pounds, regained her energy, reduced daily discomfort, and rediscovered confidence in her future. Shirley’s journey proves that positive change is possible at any age.

Shirley came to us looking for hope.


She had recently been diagnosed with COPD, and her health was steadily declining. Even walking short distances had become difficult, and she felt discouraged about her future. Together, we developed a plan focused on supporting her body’s healing, helping her lose the 40 pounds she wanted to lose, and restoring her energy and quality of life.

We knew education would play a critical role in Shirley’s success. We started by helping her understand that every person’s body is unique and that the path to better health looks different for everyone. We implemented strategies to reduce stress and improve sleep quality, giving her body the best opportunity to heal and recover.

Next, we focused on addressing the inflammation that was contributing to her joint discomfort and limiting her daily activities. We evaluated her current eating habits and gradually replaced highly inflammatory foods with nutrient-dense foods that better supported her health goals. One of Shirley’s biggest discoveries was realizing she had been under-eating for much of her life. She was pleasantly surprised to learn that nourishing her body often meant eating more balanced, satisfying meals rather than restricting food.

Within the first two weeks, Shirley reported increased energy, improved sleep, and began seeing the scale move in the right direction. By week three, she noticed less overall discomfort and less tightness in her chest. As the weeks progressed, she found herself climbing stairs with greater ease and feeling more capable than she had in years. Most importantly, she told us that her sense of hope had returned.

By the end of her journey with us, Shirley had lost 40 pounds, developed a healthier relationship with food, and gained the confidence to move forward with her life. To celebrate her accomplishments, she booked a vacation for herself and her husband—a trip she once wasn’t sure she’d physically be able to enjoy.

And one more thing: Shirley was 70 years young when she accomplished all of this.

Shirley’s story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to invest in your health. No matter your age or where you’re starting, positive change is possible when you have the right education, support, and tools.

“Today, I have energy. I feel clear headed. I am stronger, more confident, and finally in control of my health. Choosing simple, healthy foods did not just change how I look, it transformed how I feel every single day.”

After years of migraines, fatigue, and brain fog, Debbie discovered a sustainable path to better health. She lost over 40 pounds, her husband lost more than 90, and both regained the energy and confidence they thought they’d lost.

“My journey toward better health began when I reached a breaking point. I was dealing with constant migraines, overwhelming fatigue, pain and weakness in my arms and legs, and persistent brain fog. Despite countless attempts, I could not find real answers, and I was prescribed medications that seemed to create more problems than they solved.

Everything changed when I was introduced to Tieva and a simpler, more intentional way of eating. By focusing on whole, nourishing foods and learning what truly worked for my body, I began to heal. The shift was not about restriction, it was about fueling myself with what I actually needed.

Yes, I lost weight, but that is not the real victory.

Today, I have energy. I feel clear headed. I am stronger, more confident, and finally in control of my health. Choosing simple, healthy foods did not just change how I look, it transformed how I feel every single day.”

What surprised me most is how much I actually enjoy this way of eating now. I don’t feel restricted, I feel in control.

After losing 41.4 pounds, eliminating cravings, and regaining her energy, she discovered a lifestyle that feels sustainable, empowering, and enjoyable.

“I can’t say enough about my experience working with Malory. From the very beginning, I felt heard, supported, and never judged, even when I was complaining 😝. Malory was so patient with me and always had helpful tips and little adjustments that made everything feel doable.

Each week, something started to shift. By week 3, my inflammation was gone. By week 4, I wasn’t snacking between meals anymore. By week 5, I had already lost 20 lbs and it just kept going from there. My cravings disappeared, my afternoon crashes went away, and I started to feel like myself again.

By week 12, I had lost 41.4 pounds and went from a size 12/14 to a 4/6. But honestly, it’s so much more than the weight. My energy went up, my pain went down, and my confidence completely changed.

What surprised me most is how much I actually enjoy this way of eating now. I don’t feel restricted, I feel in control. I even catch myself dancing while I eat sometimes 💃🏻 My experience with Malory truly changed everything for me, and I’m so grateful to have had her guiding me through it.”
