Our Founder Story

I was in an extremely abusive relationship for many years which led to depression and anxiety. I started to find comfort in food, and the pounds crept up on me slowly. When I finally broke free from that relationship I found myself extremely overweight, sad, lost, and with MDD & PTSD. My doctor told me I used food to self-medicate and cope with the abuse I was enduring. I had struggled with my weight off and on but this was the heaviest I had ever been.  I tried different diets; including eating healthy and exercising, but it seemed the harder I tried the more weight I gained. I was then diagnosed with hypothyroidism and many things made sense. In my research, I found they usually won't diagnose you as such until your levels are out of control. My levels were at more than double of what they should be. After medication, my levels were regulated and at least I wasn't gaining weight but I wasn't losing either. Then, a friend introduced me to ELV Alipotec Raiz de Tecojote in May of 2018, but the little researcher in me started looking for information online. I found there were many duplicates out there. Some of them made people sick and I am not one to get a counterfeit to just save a few bucks. I decided to contact an authorized distributor and found Michelle. I started taking it July 21, 2018 and by September 8, 2018 I had shed 24 pounds. During the heavy detox stage I felt like I was in my 1st trimester of pregnancy with all the symptoms, but I continued to take it and now I have lost a total of 57lbs and 10 sizes total. With all the success I had I decided to help others and I became an authorized distributor in August 2019. I now assist others not only lose weight, but gain the self-confidence they lost along the way.
