Janette Behind-the-Scenes - My 80+ Pound Weight Loss: 10 Years, Caregiving & Making Time for Me
Over 80 pounds lost. A ten-year journey. And a life with responsibilities that don’t pause because I need to take care of myself. In this personal Janette Behind-the-Scenes, I’m opening up about my weight loss journey over the past ten years on Dr. Poon’s Metabolic Diet—and what that journey looks like alongside full-time caregiving and running my media career and business. Behind the interviews, events and camera-ready moments, I’m also living with type 1 diabetes, other health issues, a disability and a deformity affecting my right foot. My routine includes multiple daily medications and vitamins, insulin injections, and a weekly Ozempic injection. I share these details as my own experience, not as a treatment recommendation. I also talk about living on little sleep, the pressure of competing responsibilities, and the ongoing challenge of finding time to make my health—and myself—a priority. For SAVVY women over 40, especially caregivers and women navigating chronic illness or disability, this segment offers an honest look at the person behind the public image. You don’t have to have everything figured out to deserve care, support and time for yourself. In this Janette Behind-the Scenes: My reported 80+ pound weight loss across a ten-year journey.
