Janet’s Story: How She Reclaimed Her Health and Hope
Dec 10, 2025In this episode, we talk with Janet, a longtime Zivli member whose story reveals what so many people quietly face: doing “everything right” yet still battling weight gain, stress, pain, and unpredictable health.
For years, she lived with lupus and late-onset type 1 diabetes while juggling nine medications, constant inflammation, and the fear that any small choice could set her back. She was exhausted, discouraged, and convinced her body was working against her.
We explore how stress was silently driving her symptoms, why generic advice kept her stuck, and the real consequences of not understanding insulin, protein, sleep, and simple testing. Janet shares the turning point that helped her cut her medications from nine to two, drop her insulin needs, reduce pain, and reach her lowest weight in decades—while gaining strength, confidence, and hope for her future.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your health, afraid of regaining weight, or unsure what your body needs to change for good, this conversation will give you clarity and encouragement. Janet’s story shows what can happen when you finally have the right tools—and why real change is absolutely possible for you too.
