I've lost weight, my doctor is thrilled with my improved labs, and I'm more confident in my physical abilities to do the things I love and just to do everyday life [like run through the airport!]

discovered I needed to slow down. When I embraced the “one habit at a time” approach, real transformation began to happen.
Through the support of Coach Chris and the Academy teachings, I finally gained clarity about my health. Lab results revealed I was on the road to diabetes, and I learned that sugar—not just fat—was affecting my cholesterol. That wake-up call encouraged me to have my labs taken, track my A1C, and make more intentional food choices.
Spiritually, everything shifted. I stopped striving for perfection and surrendered my health journey to God.
With guidance from Katrina and spiritual coaching from Julie, I began to see my body
Before joining Healthy Free Life, I was no stranger to health programs. I had tried MyFitnessPal and Curves and found success when I had structure and community— but I struggled to maintain habits on my own. I also carried a deep desire to honor my body as God’s temple, but I didn’t know how to fully integrate my faith with lasting, sustainable change.
When I discovered Healthy Free Life, I was immediately drawn to Katrina's holistic approach—body, mind, and spirit. I was hesitant at first about the financial investment, but I quickly realized the value of the spiritual encouragement, practical tools, and Christ-centered community.
I dove in quickly, eager to make progress, but soon
as a temple and my worth as rooted in Christ—not my weight or food choices.
Today, I feel stronger, more energized, and more spiritually grounded. I join the live workouts a few times a week and recently sprinted through an airport at age 66! —a moment that reminded me just how much more agile, capable, and confident I’ve become.
Now, my health journey isn’t about burden or shame— it’s an act of worship and a beautiful path to becoming who God created me to be.
