Meet your host
Ruth Soukup
I’m a wife, mom, CEO, New York Times bestselling author of 7 books, and the creator of multiple brands, including Living Well Spending Less®, Elite Blogging Academy®, Do it Scared®, and Thinlicious™.
For many years after starting my company, my focus was NOT on looking after my health or watching my weight. Every year I’d try out new diet plans that worked for a while, but they never lasted for long.
I knew that if I was going to stick with something and see results, I needed a solution that would actually work for my busy life. That’s when I discovered the low-carb lifestyle and developed my own Thin Adapted System. Within 6 months, I’d lost 40 pounds and completely transformed by body.
What’s even better, is that since I’ve started sharing this system, hundreds of women just like you are using the Thin Adapted System™ to fix their metabolism, balance their hormones, lose weight, and feel amazing in their 40s and beyond.
Living a low-carb lifestyle has completely changed my relationship with food and my body, and I’m now on a mission to help women just like you do the same.
