## Resource

In this episode of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, number 184, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with Renee Davis. Renee is a 46-year-old mom of five from Columbia, SC. For years, she felt stuck in a body that did not feel like her own. She tried hard and stayed hopeful, but nothing seemed to last. Renee opens up about postpartum depression and deep fatigue. She also shares what it felt like to be told her labs were “normal.” Even so, she did not feel normal. At her worst, she crashed so hard she was nearly bedridden. That season forced her to keep searching for real answers. Then things started to change. Renee found a plan she could follow without extremes. She learned how to build momentum with simple habits. You will hear what helped most, including morning hydration, the Super Fuel shake, and consistent strength training. She also shares how she built up to longer fasts in a way that felt doable. Over the last eight months, Renee lost about 25 pounds. She went from a size 12 to a size 6. More importantly, she got her confidence back. She stopped letting the scale control her mood. She learned to use weekly trends instead of daily emotions. If you feel stuck or discouraged, this episode will meet you where you are. Renee’s story is honest and hopeful. It will remind you that progress is possible after 40. You just need the right plan and the support to stay consistent.
