Learning how to smile again with IsaBody™

Prior to smashing the IsaBody Challenge® and becoming a finalist, Julie Cartwright’s outlook on life was drastically different. At 53 years old, she said she felt worthless, unable to focus and believed she attracted the wrong people into her life that didn’t push her forward, but put her down.

On top of sleep deprivation, lacking appetite and zero energy, she was completely uninspired in her job, which left her feeling constantly irritated with a short fuse for loved ones. “I felt I was trapped in a body and mind I didn’t recognise. I couldn’t find a way forward.”

Julie wanted help but wasn’t quite sure how to tackle the change, so the turning point was going on holiday with her daughter who introduced her to Isagenix. Despite being sceptical to jump into an IsaBody Challenge®, she decided to take the leap after her daughter opened her eyes to the products and the amazing support from the Isa community.

Through re-joining the gym and using the Isagenix Weight Management Programme, she lost a huge 6.9kg*! She was so drawn in by the positivity of the Isagenix community that she said goodbye to the people who were pouring negative energy into her life and she also turned her career on its head.

“16 weeks later I have amazing energy and I’m confident again in my own skin. I have attracted far better people into my life. I have just passed an exam for my dream business and I finally can say I know how to smile again.”

She attributes the Isagenix groups, people, events and products to her body confidence and new mindset, now being a self-professed ‘yes person’ doing things she would have shied away from before. She’s going on holiday for three weeks, travelling to London on her own and lifting weights without a second thought, and she’s looking great doing it.

“I am finally after 53 years putting myself first. I have a clear vision of how I want the rest of my life to look. I know I can achieve anything I am putting my mind to – I am no longer scared. I can smile again. Thank you Isagenix.”

If Julie’s story has inspired you, why not sign up to your own IsaBody Challenge?

*Weight loss should not be considered typical. A two-phase 2016 study published by researchers at Skidmore College showed an average weight loss of 24 pounds after 12 weeks. The study evaluated the use of Isagenix products in men and women for weight loss followed by weight maintenance. As part of the weight loss phase, the participants took part in a calorie-controlled regimen of Shake Days and one Cleanse Day per week. During the weight maintenance phase, the subjects who continued the calorie-controlled program using Isagenix products better maintained their weight loss in comparison to those who transitioned to a traditional diet after 52 weeks.
