Wendi spent decades stuck in the cycle of dieting, regaining, and self-blame.

From childhood teasing to weight-loss programs that worked (until they didn’t), she did what so many women do: followed every plan out there hoping this one would finally fix it. But nothing addressed the root cause—insulin resistance—or helped her build a sustainable, shame-free relationship with food.

In this powerful episode, Wendi opens up about the emotional toll of 40+ years of struggling with weight and body image. She shares how family comments shaped her self-worth, why willpower-based diets kept failing her, and how discovering Zivli gave her the tools she needed to lose 70 pounds, but also to rebuild her health from the inside out.

You’ll hear how community support, mindset shifts, and small, consistent changes helped Wendi break generational patterns and finally find peace with food. Whether you're in the thick of your own health journey or supporting someone who is, this episode will leave you feeling hopeful, validated, and ready to take the next step.
