After accepting Better Nutrition’s Transform from Home challenge, coworkers Abby Maher and Lisa Stockton saw dramatic improvements in their health and vitality. Here, they share their stories of amazing transformations with the help of leptin pioneer Kat James.
TRANSFORMED FROM HOME

After transforming his own health with the help of Better Nutrition contributor and leptin pioneer Kat James—and learning of her “Transform From Home” Contest (jointly with BN)—grass-fed producer and activist John Wood began urging several of his employees at U.S. Wellness Meats in Canton, Mo., to give Kat’s program a try.

Two women who had struggled with multiple health issues stepped up to the challenge in October 2020. And the results were stunning. We hope these accounts and photos will inspire your own health transformation success.

Abby Maher, Age 30

Issues Weight, Thyroid, Cravings, Mood, Period Issues, and Energy I’d seen my boss’s physical changes, but I rolled my eyes when Kat said I’d no longer crave carbs or alcohol—and that they would even taste “off” to me. But I knew that she’d ended her own deadly eating disorder with the same biochemical mechanism she’d be teaching Lisa and me, so she had my ear!

I was also excited when Kat told me that leptin helps regulate thyroid hormone production and had helped her resolve her own thyroid and autoimmune issues. I’ve struggled with my thyroid, having had half of it removed years ago, with many related health issues.
