hi there! i'm betsy

Creator of Beyond the Scale with Betsy

 

If you've ever felt stuck in the exhausting cycle of diets, rules, and starting over, you're not alone. I spent decades there, trying everything to change my body and feeling increasingly hopeless with each attemptβ€”until I discovered something different. At my heaviest, I weighed 500 pounds, drowning in depression, self-hatred, and countless failed attempts.

the hard part

That period in my life is not an easy thing to talk about - depression, extremes between following a program to the letter or abandoning it, gaining back every pound plus more, convinced that if I could get this under control, my life would be perfect.

I lived that nightmare where hope feels impossible. And I know there's a way out.  

 

The Breakthrough

I found my way to joy and feeling genuinely good againβ€”waking up with energy and enthusiasm for living, free from physical pain, relentless self-judgment, and years of self-loathing. I cleared decades of accumulated toxins from my system and learned how to heal my body at the cellular level by tuning in rather than overriding.

When my body got louder 

The plateau

After losing a couple of hundred pounds and hitting a plateau for quite a few years, I figured that this must be the way it was going to be, and I was destined to hover around the 300-pound mark. I told myself that this must be my lot in life.

My body's warning signs

As I continued eating foods that didn't support my health, my body increasingly sent signals like pain, stiffness, mental fog, and many other symptoms. I realized that if I didn't make changes, I was on the path to serious health problems from the warning signs my body was giving me, so I stopped ignoring them and trying to control everything.

I found intermittent fasting, keto and carnivore

I dove into learning about hormones and women's bodies, discovering how intermittent fasting, keto, and carnivore eating could heal our bodies while providing mental clarity and other benefits. This time was different - with listening and partnering with my body instead of forcing another program on it.

  • I was drawn to learn the science behind what worked so naturally in my transformation. That curiosity led me to Dr. Mindy Pelz, a renowned women's health expert and bestselling author. I became a Certified Fast Like a Girl Coach through Dr. Mindy's program.

    Years of incorporating intermittent fasting, keto, and carnivore eating taught me what really works in the messy reality of daily life - combining that with Dr. Mindy's training? Now I have comprehensive tools to guide women in creating lasting lifestyle changes.
