Ruby Gettinger of
Savannah, Georgia, is a
fierce woman of God.
Documenting numerous
setbacks, she catapulted
to fame with her reality
show, Ruby, on Style
Network.
Ruby is not camera shy,
nor is she ashamed to
talk about her daily
struggles with losing
weight. From Oprah to
Dr. Oz, Ruby has
discussed candidly her
battle after dropping
more than 400 pounds.
After hearing about her
story, I reached out to
Ms. Gettinger. And with
grace, she kindly
accepted my invitation
to share her personal
journey of pain, health
and wellness, healing,
and triumph.
