My Pandemic Weight Gain & My Comeback

The pandemic hit us all hard in many ways, and for me, it meant a gradual increase in weight.


It started with a glass of wine (or 2) to unwind after a long stressful day. Before I knew it, those glasses, along with a few other unhealthy slips, led to significant weight gain. I was shocked when I finally stepped on the scale and saw I had reached my highest weight ever — the same as when I was

full-term pregnant.

It was a moment of truth.

I knew I needed to make a change, and to help others seeking to do the same, and that led me to create the Welch Way to Brain-Based Weight Loss.

My journey back to health saw me lose 30 pounds—looking and feeling 10 years younger!


This is my transformation, and I'm here to help you create yours.
