Kathy Martinez
Pueblo, Colorado
Age: 49
Height: 5’5″
Total Weight Loss: 87 pounds*
Challenges Completed: 5
In 2019, Kathy felt like she was in a desperate decline. Following surgery, she struggled with balance issues, stomach problems, and painful inflammation, which left her feeling miserable and searching for a solution.
“I put an intention out into the universe saying I was grateful, happy, healthy, and doing all the things I longed to with confidence.” Soon after, she was introduced to Isagenix, and within the first 11 days of using the products, Kathy felt a decrease in her stomach discomfort and painful inflammation, and it gave her the hope to keep going.**
Kathy was finally able to start exercising again, slowly but steadily, which increased her confidence. “I challenged my self-limiting beliefs and reclaimed my love of running by doing several 5-10k runs. I faced my fear of heights to successfully complete two Manitou Incline ascents, and I completed a goal to walk a half marathon — my longest distance yet!” Plus, since reclaiming her health, she’s able to be an active participant in her granddaughters’ lives.
Kathy already has new goals for her next IsaBody Challenge: 1) to increase her running distance by completing a half marathon, and 2) to become consistent with strength training and ascend the Manitou Incline three times this year.
Suzanne Lin
Calgary, Alberta
Age: 46
Height: 5’1″
Total Weight Loss: 9 pounds*
Challenges Completed: 11
Suzanne started using Isagenix in 2013 to help her shed some baby weight, but she continued using the products to help her maintain. She recently decided to challenge herself by entering a bikini contest and received bronze for her category!
“Isagenix helps fuel my workouts, and I love that it has ingredients that aren’t harmful, and I know I can trust.”
Suzanne takes Isagenix with her everywhere, especially when she travels. “I love the taste and the convenience of the bars and shakes. They’ve gotten me through some rough times. Thank you so much for being with me for the last nine years.”
David Selnick
St. Louis Park, Minnesota
Age: 52
Height: 5’8″
Total Weight Loss: 30 pounds*
Challenges Completed: 1
Before being introduced to Isagenix, David suffered from depression and anxiety. “I didn’t see myself as a leader, and making decisions was quite hard for me to do. I struggled with my ability to be mindful and in the moment.”
David had tried other weight loss programs and fitness routines but nothing stuck. After deciding to try a 30-Day System, he noticed an uptick in his energy, even after doing a Cleanse Day. With better overall health, he felt his depression lessening its grip and started overcoming obstacles that used to overwhelm him.**
David says he’s become more mindful and aware of what’s going on around him on a day-to-day basis and less judgmental of others and his surroundings. “I’ve finally found something I can truly value and recommend to others. I love replacing my morning breakfast with a Shake to start my day. I’m in the best shape of my life and owe it to the IsaBody Challenge.”
Andrew Munroe
Jackson, Mississippi
Age: 33
Height: 5’10”
Total Weight Loss: 1 pound*
Challenges Completed: 11
Andrew began Isagenix while living in a sober living facility. After struggling with drug addiction for a decade, he decided there was no better time to try a 30-Day Reset. “After months of very sodium-rich, low-quality food, my body was screaming for help. In the first week of using the products, my energy was back, my sleep was better, I was losing weight, and inflammation was decreasing in my body.”**
Andrew began to feel like himself again, and while he wasn’t always consistent in utilizing the system, he says engaging with the incredible Isagenix community is a big reason he’s still standing today.
Andrew uses 10-15 different Isagenix products daily and never plans on stopping. He’s had an amazing nutritional and physical transformation, but he also found tremendous success with Collagen Elixir™ and Hair Revival. “Thank you, Isagenix, for being the most trusted health and wellness company out there.”
Julie Ann Reid
Indianapolis, Indiana
Age: 54
Height: 5’8″
Total Weight Loss: 32 pounds*
Challenges Completed: 1
Julie’s love-hate relationship with sweets has been an ongoing journey. It inspired her lucrative bakery business for over a decade, providing her with enough income to support four kids as a single mom. But it’s also been the cause of a lifetime of yo-yo weight gain and loss.
Julie is currently a semi-driver, which has proven to be an even bigger struggle in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Life on the road means stopping at truck stops for food—where there are few healthy options. Driving a truck 12 hours a day also leads to mindless snacking and no time for working out. “I really thought my days of feeling fit and confident were over.” But after being introduced to Isagenix, Julie decided to try it—although skeptical.
The shakes wound up being her lifesaver on the road, and her favorite is the IsaLean® Shake in Birthday Cake Flavor. She now hauls her blender into truck stops, and other truck drivers ask what she’s making as they stand in line to pick up their fast-food orders.
Julie’s been staying consistent with making two shakes a day and having one clean dinner at night. She loves the way she feels after a Cleanse Day and she’s even prepping her meals and snacks on her day off. Most importantly, her confidence is back. “I am so grateful to have been introduced to this program. Thank you, IsaBody!”
