In this inspiring episode of The Dr. Ashley Show, I sit down with Christine, a 59-year-old PhD Weight Loss client who has already lost 45 pounds and is on her way to 100. Christine shares her real-life journey through failed diets like Optifast and Ozempic, and how PhD changed her life—despite her crazy night shifts, stress, and travel schedule. We talk hunger control, sustainable weight loss, better sleep, and how her painful knees are healing. If you’ve struggled with yo-yo dieting, this episode will give you hope and real strategies that work.
