SimplyWise Success Stories
When What Used To Work, Doesn’t Anymore
50s & 60s
Jennifer just wasn’t thriving in midlife. She’d always been able to achieve anything — but a divorce, an empty nest, cancer, and hormone changes left her sluggish, stuck, and not herself.
Watch how she found her way back to feeling calm, energized, and hopeful about what’s next.
Coleen’s weight was up and down her whole life, cycling between over-indulging and restricting to compensate. She was deeply attached to certain foods — giving them up felt sad, even as she recognized how stressful the cycle was. Watch how she lost the obsession with craveable foods entirely, and found a calmer, happier life on the other side.
Lily finally discovered what works for weight loss after menopause.
“I got my first hot flash at 47, and one month later I was 13 pounds heavier. For 10 years I tried eating less and exercising more — and just kept gaining. Then I learned to eat more, the SimplyWise Way.” See how that turned things around, and gave Lily her body back.
Stacia is eating more than she’s ever eaten — and she’s never hungry. In just 12 weeks, she lost her excess weight without restriction. Her cholesterol, her joint inflammation, even how she feels about exercise — watch how eating more became the thing that finally worked.
Barb stopped snacking, and hiding her body — without ever feeling hungry between meals. “My brain is quicker! I really feel my brain is more sharp,” she says. For Barb, it became less about pleasing her palate and more about, in her words, “feeding my soul… feeding my life, not just my mouth.” Watch what changed, and why packing for a trip now feels effortless.
Lisa‘s weight had been up and down for years. But what she really wanted wasn’t to become a “skinny minny” — it was less noise around decision-making, more calm and clarity around food. Watch what it’s like to finally eat in a way that feels sensible, satisfying, and complete.
Getting Ahead of It, Even With a Full Life
40s
Rosemary. At > 200 lbs, Rosemary was dealing with knee and back pain, acid reflux, anxiety, and general difficulty coping with life.
When she heard Dr. Ginny’s story, she decided to book a call, and she says it was the best decision she ever made. Watch what changed.
Kristen dragged her feet for over a year — too busy as a professional and a mom to deal with it. She wasn’t feeling like herself, and hormone therapy hadn’t helped the weight gain. When she finally decided to go for it, the weight started coming off — faster and easier than she expected, along with improved energy, sleep, and even how easy she was to get along with at home. “I would tell everyone: don’t put it off,” she says. “It’s easier and more rewarding than you imagine.”
Jessica found herself fighting weight gain after having a baby at 40. She’d tried other approaches, but SimplyWise Eating stood out as simple, sensible, and effective.
“I don’t even have to think about it,” she says.
Hear how she got back her energy to play with her son — and started hitting CrossFit goals, like box jumps, she couldn’t hit before.
Krista read 400 diet books before she found what actually worked. A successful DIY dieter and exerciser, Krista watched things start going the wrong direction in her 40s. She was intrigued by an approach grounded in eating abundant, nutritious food — it looked completely different, and sensible. If it worked, it meant better health, longevity, and being a stronger role model for her kids. Watch what happened when she tried it.
Finally Giving Themselves Permission
69+
Michelina kept eating less and less, yet the weight kept climbing — and her health was going the wrong direction with it. Now in her 70s, she has more energy and an active life again. But the real change isn’t the number on the scale — it’s that she’s stopped fighting food altogether.
Watch what it’s like to finally feel at peace with eating.
Denise.
Just 4 months into SimplyWise Eating, Denise found a more tranquil kind of pleasure with eating and drinking. And her body is letting her know it’s happy with the changes.
Hear her describe it in her own words.
Melo. At 69, she already knew how to eat healthy and exercise — she’d lost the same 40 lbs more than once over 50 years. But every time, it crept back. She wanted to know why.
Watch how she finally broke the cycle and found the slender, vibrant life she’d been chasing for decades.
Annie.
At 70, Annie was dealing with high blood pressure, acid reflux, and a list of medications that came with it.
Watch how a shift in how she eats changed her weight, her health markers, and how she feels in her own clothes.
Elaine. At Age 70, Elaine realized her “sensible, healthy eating approach wasn’t as sensible or healthy as I thought. I was overweight, and kept putting off things I wanted to do — telling myself I’d get to them once I lost a few pounds.”
Watch what Ginny showed her instead, and why Elaine now trusts she can keep doing what she wants, for as long as she wants.
A Few More Voices
I had struggled with my relationship with alcohol and food for years and tried many programmes without success before I met Ginny. The 12 month SimplyWise for Good programme, with Ginny’s coaching and the community support, changed my life.
I stopped drinking and lost weight, but it was what I GAINED that was the unexpected pleasure: peace of mind, self confidence and tremendous self belief. Aspects of my personality I’d lost returned and I feel whole, strong and capable, probably for the first time in my adult life.
I’m feeling waves of gratitude for this second chance at living fully. If you’ve been struggling for some time, I encourage you to talk to Ginny; she is wise and practical, and will answer your questions honestly and directly.
I checked back with Lorri S. to see how it’s going 3 years after she graduated from the program: “I am still eating the SimplyWise Way and have been maintaining my weight. Actually I got a bit too low but now I’m at around 120 and really fit, so I’m happy with how I’m looking. Keep helping people crack the weight loss code!“
This way of eating is amazing. I’ve lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks without any craziness. I feel hopeful about my health and weight for the first time in 20 years. And my husband has not only lost weight, but he’s had a huge drop in migraines. We are in happy shock!
I’ve released 16 pounds in two months and am halfway to my dream weight. Everyone at the office keeps commenting on how slim I look. They are impressed at my healthy eating, too; they imagine it takes lots of willpower to eat so healthy, but it really doesn’t because I don’t feel hungry between meals. I can see that it’s just a smart approach for my body, and I just don’t find it difficult to do at all.
I’ve lost over 50 pounds so far and am so glad to have found this eating approach and this program. I thought I knew exactly how to lose weight, but I never had an effective weight loss approach like this that doesn’t involve feeling hungry or deprived. The 4 fundamental principles really work for my logical brain and I really appreciate Dr. Ginny’s coaching and how she has put together this program and community.
With such a super-busy schedule right now, I’m SO grateful for the energy SimplyWise Eating gives me. I only started learning this 4 weeks ago and haven’t even got all the pieces in place yet, but my energy has transformed – from a 4 out of 10 to a 7 out of 10. It’s really helping me out, and I imagine it will keep improving. Pain and inflammation are diminishing and I’ve lost 8 pounds already. I really enjoy eating this way and feel so grateful for it– it’s an answer to my prayers! So far, eating healthfully takes a bit more time, but it makes me feel happy and proud more than anything.
I have only been in the SimplyWise for Good program for 14 weeks, but it is changing my whole life. Yes, I am really appreciating 15 pounds gone so far, getting into cuter clothes, and making my doctor really happy. I’m feeling physically so much better, going off medications, reversing high cholesterol, and experiencing other notable changes in my body like no more acid reflux. But, at 70 years old, as I take this strong stand for my health, I am especially appreciating that I find myself moving toward life goals I had put aside for some time. I never could have imagined the kind of excitement, energy, and confidence I have about moving forward in my life.
I’ve dropped from a size 12 to a size 6—dropping the first size during the Intensive Program. What I love most is how eating this way helps me feel calm and peaceful.
I’m eating this way for life—my body likes it. My doctor is thrilled with my lab results. Meals are easy and snacky things don’t call to me any more. Eating this way makes me so calm and happy.
I am in awe at how much I have benefited from the SimplyWise for Good program. My body absolutely lets me know this way of eating is good. And it’s so much more doable and enjoyable than I imagined.
This program has been transformative for me in so many ways. I’ve lost 45 pounds, have less inflammation, my sleep is much better (from a 3 to a solid 9 out of 10), and I am happy it means I can decrease my blood pressure medications.
I’ve dropped 6 pounds so far, doing most of the fundamentals of this plan. Most important, I’ve been exploring more kinds of nutritious foods, and I’m surprised how much I am enjoying the way I get to eat.
Since completing the SimplyWise for Good Intensive program, I have lost 22 pounds and look much healthier! Just went to the doctor for my annual wellness visit — labs look really good and my doc was very pleased and happy for me. Thank you so much for the SimplyWise program!
Although I was only targeting 2.5kg, I’ve actually ended up losing 5kg and feel much more energetic now. A couple of the principles were counter intuitive for me initially and I initially was afraid of feeling hungry if I changed my routine. But I did switch over on both and now feel much better – and no longer hungry – as well as seeing the weight loss. Ginny has been very available for me – very quickly responsive to email queries and also to offer 1-1 calls. The changes I’ve made as a result of SimplyWise for Good are permanent and I really enjoy the way I’m eating now.
