Staying fit for oneself ensures that we stay fit for our loved ones, and Katherine’s story is a testament to this truth.

The Wake-Up Call

Katherine’s life took a dramatic turn just a week after her 33rd birthday in September 2022. The discovery of her deteriorating health condition, marked by Type 2 diabetes, served as a wake-up call. It was a painful reality that she could no longer ignore. She knew that the world was tough, but she assured herself that she could be tougher.

The Challenge

Weighing 105kg and struggling to run for even 10 seconds, Katherine faced an uphill battle. The temptation of tasty food over nutritious ones, the physical limitations of her body, and the demands of her job were obstacles that seemed insurmountable. But Katherine was not one to back down. She gave up her job to fully dedicate herself to her mission of health and well-being.
