Joy’s 4 Months Transformation and Progress

Regaining Health & Confidence with Beyond BMI

“I’ve lost 19 kilos and I’ve lost 13.9% of my body weight. And the health
gain has been just an unbelievable, it’s hard to even put into words. The PCOS symptoms have gone down so much. So far it’s been amazing and it hasn’t actually been that difficult.”

— Joy Mc Gauley

When I met the dietician and the health coach and all from Beyondbmi, it was amazing. It was a breath of fresh air. First of all, there was no judgment. That was the part that I couldn't get over. Like, they were just all so helpful and so nice to me and so genuinely caring, you know. And I remember them saying to me, this is not your fault.

Key Issues Joy’s Wanted to Resolve:

1. Struggling with Weight: Joy had been battling weight issues for years, which had a significant impact on her confidence and overall well-being.

2. PCOS Symptoms: Joy was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a condition that brought along various health challenges and hormonal imbalances.

3. Self-Esteem Issues: She constantly compared herself to others, often feeling self-conscious and judged for her appearance. This had taken a toll on her self-esteem.

“Someone has actually told me it’s not my fault because I’ve spent 30 years telling myself it’s my fault.”
