Like many people as they get older, 83-year-old Heather Evans had noticed the number on the scales gradually creeping upwards. Diagnosed a few years ago with an underactive thyroid she says, “My metabolism has slowed down in the past two or three years. I’m not as active as I used to be. I can’t walk as fast, and I’m not as mobile.”
Once a keen tennis and golf player, Heather’s arthritic hands have made it almost impossible to grasp a tennis racket or golf club, while floating fragments in her knees have ruled out strenuous activities.
“There are lots of lovely places to walk around here, including two golf courses so I go on lots of walks with two or three of my neighbours, usually at quite a gentle pace,” she says. When in Spain, where she spends much of the winter, she also swims. “It’s so much easier to eat well there and be more active,” says Heather, who is widowed and lives in the Vale of Glamorgan.
Despite this and although she eats a healthy Mediterranean diet, Heather’s weight continued to rise. “At my heaviest, I weighed about 13 and a half stone,” says Heather, who is 5’4”. Looking for something to help support her metabolism and help her feel more in control of her appetite, she was pleased to discover GLP-1 Metabolic Support and decided to give it a try.
It contains two science-backed ingredients: Metabolaid®, a botanical blend designed to help support metabolism and energy balance, together with HOWARU® Shape, a probiotic strain studied for its role in supporting weight management and feelings of fullness.
Since starting to take these Heather has noticed positive changes in her appetite. “I don’t feel as hungry as I used to” she says. “Some mornings I used to wake up feeling like I had a hole in my stomach. In the evenings I was snacking all the time, which I’m not doing anymore.”
Heather has settled into a simple, easy-to-follow daily routine. She takes the brown (Metabolaid®) capsule at about 10:30 a.m. and the white (HOWARU® Shape) capsule with her brunch between 11 and 12-ish.
She has also noticed the scales starting to shift in the right direction. “I’ve lost about half a stone, which is a good start,” she says. “My clothes are a little bit looser than they were.”
Heather’s grandson’s wedding in October is an added incentive. “I’ve bought a new dress which is a size smaller so I’m hoping it will fit by then,” she says.
But for Heather it’s not just about fitting into a smaller dress size. “The important thing with arthritis is to keep moving because it’s worse if you don’t,” she says. She is currently awaiting an operation to clear the loose fragments in her knees. “Hopefully once that’s done and I have lost a bit of weight my hips and knees will be less painful.”
A loyal customer for many years, Heather has nothing but praise for Healthspan.
“They are so organised and efficient. They always let you know when special offers come up, and everything arrives when it should.”
Would she recommend GLP-1 Metabolic Support to others on the strength of her experience? “I certainly would,” she says.
And with her grandson’s wedding on the horizon Heather is hoping to look her best as Grandmother of the Groom in that new dress.
