This may seem unbelievable, but trust me it happened. I struggled my entire life being overweight and when I finally found the missing pieces to my weight loss puzzle, the pounds started falling away like they weren’t meant to be there to begin with.
What I found out in my research was that they weren’t meant to be there. I’d been sold a lie. We’ve all been sold a massive misunderstanding about weight gain and a seriously misguided approach to weight loss.
Cutting calories will NOT cut it. The stats are CLEAR.
So why do we still hear “calories and king” and “diet makes up 80% of weight loss” even from experts? 3 reasons:
- Researchers (like myself) are trained to speak assertively. Any SENTENCE of our work, in the years and years of training we go through, that does not speak in an absolute argument FOR our thesis is circled with red pen and marked “passive voice!” by our mentors. To a budding researcher, using a “passive voice” is as bad as using poor grammar. When we don’t actually know what is happening holistically (almost all of the time) we default to speaking to the points we know uphold our argument.
- It’s hard to let go of an argument you have declared your *belief* in. It’s even harder to let go of a belief which we have collectively placed beyond question (like the calories in – calories out equation). The weight loss industry is operating more as a religion than health care.
- I personally believe that we actually have no idea WHY people gain weight. Our current belief structure (that we hold onto fat for energy use later and just continue to pack it on if it’s unused) is full of holes and just does not add up. If our fundamental assumption about weight gain (and therefore loss) is incorrect, it is virtually impossible to make logical sense of an actual solution.
I always hated having to use an assertive tone. I’m a theorist, which means I look at big-picture explanations for how things work (like natural laws). In my realm of study, there are no absolutes because there are so many variables. Stephen Hawking was a theorist. I would surmise that Elon Musk is too (though I think he has been forced to do hands on research perhaps now but especially in his early days because no one else would)! You’ll notice they never speak in absolutes unless they’re talking about a controlled environment (like in a lab).
Your body, like this world and anything in it, is not a controlled environment.
To a regular researcher, who can see that in a controlled environment the calories in versus calories out equation holds weight, this simple understanding of weight gain is useful. They can create and argument for their point.
To me, it’s a ridiculous equation hardly worth a mention when dealing with a real-world scenario where someone wants to lose weight.
I did my own research. It took me about a decade but I cracked the code. In my early days, because I had no one else to do the work for me, I developed my methods just like Elon Musk. And when I first tested the weight loss tools I developed I lost 20lbs in 20 days.
(The testing was actually 28 days but I missed a whole week because I actually went a bit overboard and tested it out in the WORST possible situation I could imagine to make sure it would work for anyone.)
I was travelling and couldn’t work out regularly or cook for myself. We ate out essentially 3 meals a day, every day, and were gorging at all-you-can-eat asian buffets. Lol. I was actually REALLY worried I’d fail and the whole “diet” thing would come back to haunt me one final, pulverizing time. (I did this challenge live an publicly!) It actually amazed ME how incredibly the tools worked.
They don’t normally work on everyone else this fast, because people have to learn and grow into the methods one-by-one. I had ALL of the practices, methods and know-how as soon as I began. But my goodness… Even I didn’t expect they would be so effective.
So how did I do it?
You can imagine there are a few (haha, OK, a lot) of aspects to a method that took 10-13 years to develop! And there ARE. So I’m going to share with you the 3 MAIN human functions that KEEP us overweight OR facilitate our weight loss VERY EASILY when healed.
Mental Archetypes that Make or Break your Best Body Naturally
- Constrictive Mindset vs. Perfect Body Mindset
- Wounded Intuition vs. Ideal Body Nature
- Limiting Beliefs vs. Core Confidence & High Reality IQ
You can take this quiz I developed to figure out which of the arcetypes you need to focus most on.
Getting your quiz results also qualifies you for a seminar on each of these archetypes AND a tutorial on the 6 facets the REAL experts (nutritionists working with the best bodies in the world) recommend to supermodels and celebrities to get into their ideal body composition.
How did I lose 20lbs in 20 days? It certainly was not with diet or exercise. If weight loss industry methods actually worked, we would all be thin and feeling great. We are, statistically, getting fatter and unhappier (because the industry methods DON’T work).
Your Body is the Sum of MASS
This is a simple way I explain a very big idea. MASS represents your holistic health, your connection to your Ideal Body Nature, and your ability to live your life fully as the highest version of you.
Mindset +
Alignment +
Spiritual Health +
Self-Care
= Your Ideal Body Composition

I lost that weight by focussing on the bigger picture, on getting holistically happy and whole, by nurturing my inner world, and releasing the things I was carrying inside that either BECAME fat or PREVENTED me from letting it go.
I created a brand called UpRoots Wellness to help other women do the same. Our methods are one of a kind and, of course, backed by scientific research. I hope to see you in the seminar (just take the Mental Archetype Quiz to qualify for a free pass).
