From Tailspin to Freedom: Marina Rediscovers Energy & Life With Isagenix®

Marina’s life was in a tailspin. Overcome by anxiety and fear, she could not will herself to leave her home. Meanwhile, her husband maintained the home, tended to their two daughters and did his best to try to help her.

Doctors didn’t believe they could help her and at one point told Marina and her husband that her life would likely never change. They painted a bleak picture of low expectations and a poor quality of life.

“I immediately said that I don’t accept that for myself,” recalls Marina of that fateful day. “There’s a future for me and I am going to heal.”

The bad news turned into good news for Marina. She committed to finding the right counselor to get through her stress. Little by little, Marina began to come back.

But, she was still 220 pounds and struggling to lose the 90 pounds she had put on during that paralyzing period. Luckily, she came across someone at a women’s university event who was wearing an Isagenix® shirt.

“I had a friend who had lost 100 pounds, but I just hadn’t thought it was for me,” explains Marina. “I asked her if I would get tired of the products and finally, I just realized I wouldn’t know until I tried it.”

She began with the 30-Day Cleansing and Fat Burning System and was shocked when the excess weight began to come off. She heard about the 2011 IsaBody Challenge® and committed to, as her husband often says, “go broke or go home.”

She’d add berries and Ionix® Supreme to her IsaLean® Shake, an orange and Want More Energy?® or a host of other items. Needless to say, Marina soon discovered that she was never going to get bored with her products.

Months later, she was down nearly 50 pounds* and transformed from a size 20 to a size 8.*
Awarded first place in the Women 50+ Category of the 2011 Challenge, Marina says she’s floored by how good she feels.

“Once, I could barely walk around the block and now I can cycle 110 to 135 kilometers at a time,” shares Marina. “I even do regular hiking and yoga to stay fit.”
Her confidence growing daily, she’s proud to have overcome the emotional hurdles that kept her frozen in fear for so long.

“I used to be afraid to be slim because I didn’t want to attract unwanted attention,” says Marina. “My internal story has changed and I know I can be slim and safe at the same time.”

Everything in Marina’s life has changed now. Her family is closer than ever before, she and her husband’s marriage is feeling younger and happier and Marina feels like the best version of her self.

“People say that I walk differently; that I walk taller and hold my head up,” shares Marina. “I look and feel so confident now.”

“There really is hope and healing,” adds Marina. “This is where I’m meant to be and Isagenix has been a big part of my healing journey.”
