Menopause got you down? I hear you! I just melted 4″ of belly fat in 19 days…..
This info is especially useful for women who are going through Peri-menopause or Menopause (or beyond)
My Experience:
Especially since menopause, I am not one who enjoys the bathroom scales and numbers that they represent, so the way I personally measure MY FAT LOSS progress, note fat loss… not weight loss, is by measuring my body, especially around the biggest part of my belly. I also have my favorite ‘very old broken in and well-worn jeans’ handy to see if there is progress in getting them: 1) initially past my hips… 2) then eventually zipping them….3) to wearing them but not in public and 4) eventually wearing them like I did when I did not have my men-o-pot! (I wore them all the time back in 2005-time frame)
WHEW!
I was speaking with a friend today, 3 years younger than me, and an incredibly fit and wise woman who is astute in so many areas of life, including health and nutrition, and we were joking about the reality of menopause.
On top of it, she also was a professional ballerina, which is a tough sport that keeps you very much obsessed with your size, what you weigh, and the scale, much like my experience in my 30’s with bodybuilding, but even more so.
We both laughed at and then agreed- that the scale has been a dis-service to us throughout our lifetime, but sometimes serves as a wakeup call! This is what has led me to writing this bit of info. and my experience.
So…. Here you go. Back in the fall of 2020 Sarah, a friend who knew I was creating a website called JOY’s Favorites, (or abbreviated, Joy’sFaves) reached out to me. She knew I was looking for a healthy WEIGHT LOSS product that I could recommend to hundreds of customers who had once loved a product- but then that product suddenly changed- and they were looking for another option. She also knew I was a former personal trainer and have many people who trust my recommendations with products.
Truth be told, I sat back for 4 months as Sarah and many of our mutual friends got slimmer, healthier, fitter and happier. Mid-December I agreed to try the ZipSlim product and if it resonated with me 100% I would recommend it on my new website. https://blackberrylemonade.com/
Fast forward to my personal experience. I am a tough one, as most ‘dietary products’ I try are just temporary for weight loss or filled with ingredients that honestly my body rejects. Even the product I ‘repped’ for years and people got GREAT results with, was something I could not use. It made me feel anxious, jittery and downright ill.
I believe it was the infamous day of Dec. 7th that I agreed to try the ZipSlim product and to share with others IF it resonated with me. I would now put my reputation on the line. One thing I love (among many things) is the science BEHIND the ZipSlim product as well as the very generous 90-Day Money Back Guarantee.
Everyone’s experience has been slightly different. Some people drop pounds very fat, others notice more inch loss than pounds- but everyone I have personally spoke with who has tried it LOVES the taste and how it makes them feel. They love the benefits BEYOND becoming SLIM, thus the name of the Company…. Beyond Slim. For instance, some of the ingredients help boost the immune system as well as boost the metabolism. Other ingredients help with sleep and a sense of well-being, with a reduction of anxiety being common. Most people who use the ZipSlim want to boost their metabolism- FLIP THE SWITCH on their metabolism, and burn FAT. Those of us who are women who have gone through menopause or have an abundance of belly fat, are especially excited to see this fat MELT.
In my first 19 days my belly was reduced by 4″ and my hips by 1.5″ My bust by 2″ (under my bust by 1.5″ and my thigh by .5″. At the end of 30 days I’ll measure my entire body, share comparison photos and document actual pound loss.
Note this photo of me ‘before’ is mid-December 2020 and the photo on the right was me 30 years ago. That photo is there to simply motivate myself on what is possible.
If you’re looking to reduce your body fat, get slimmer and have more energy- give the ZipSlim a full 90-Day trial. I am 100% confident that you will love your results and I invite you to share your results with me. joyedgerton@gmail.com. If you are either peri-menopausal or post menopause, don’t give up. There IS help and it’s called ZipSlim or as I call it, Blackberry Lemonade.

https://vimeo.com/gobeyondslim/fliptheswitch This video explains how the ZipSlim switches the SWITCH!
Have You Ever Thanked Your Belly Fat?
This may sound like a silly question but I am asking it for real. Have you ever thanked your belly fat? I mean, really thought about it and said THANK YOU, “belly fat” for doing your job?
I am doing this right now…and as a result feel a reassurance that as my body cleanses away the toxins, the fat cells will release toxins and shrink, as they won’t be needed. This will mean a transformed and energized body AND also a slimmer version of “today’s me.”
Let’s face it, we live in a toxic world where there are many toxins in our environment (air and water) not to mention our foods and drinks. And that doesn’t count what we put ON our skin that seeps in and can cause havoc!
I recently began a 21-day cleanse and am embracing the process, which includes THANKING my body for doing its job. Along with the body I am looking forward to the feeling of ZEN that comes from honoring ones temple/body and truly taking care of the ‘vessel’ that our soul or spirit is housed in.
Back to the question. Have you ever thanked your Belly Fat? What is the reason you now have more belly fat than before?
What is the JOB of fat have to do with it? Well, for starters, if you have too much belly fat, good chance it is a result of your body CREATING FAT CELLS to STORE toxins in. They can be newly created fat cells or old ones too- the body has no preference. Simply put the housed fat is stored to protect your internal organs. Without these fat cells, your organs would weaken and be susceptible to disease, or dis-ease….not being at your optimal game of health.
You can certainly follow the suggestions to the right on 10 ways to reduce belly fat…and they will help, but I believe a periodic cleanse is important to get your body into optimal balance.
There are many kinds of cleanses from the Master Cleanse, to Standard Process Diet, plus numerous ones from network marketing companies. I happen to be following a cleanse through Divinchi Labs.
The premise is to cleanse and rebuild in a healthy way. Days 1-7 it is predominantly plant based- which is easy as it is the way I prefer to eat anyway. The biggest eliminations for me is no morning coffee or evening cocktails. Other than that, It is pretty straight forward, except the addition of supplements to support the cleanse and rebuild process. I’m also doing what I always know to do but rarely do and that is drinking the correct amount of clean water that my body needs. (Min. of 1/2 my body weight in ounces of water!)
Other things I am doing: I am substituting DiVinchi shakes for our Tavala Weight Loss Protein Shakes and wearing Quantum Relief Strips on various parts of my body to ease with detox symptoms, should they arise. I also use only organic skin care (Tamanu Organics) to assure that I am not allowing chemicals to seep into my skin. So far so good.
SO….. if you are anything like me, and are currently disgusted with the size of your belly or how your muffin top is pouring over the sides of your already tight jeans, lighten up. Love yourself as you are and embrace the change that is only a decision away. Then do whatever it takes to reduce the toxins in your body.
Begin by thanking your fat cells and belly fat for housing the TOXINS that you allowed into your body. Release and forgive. Love yourself as you are in the process and look forward to a healthier, more energetic YOU….clear of toxins!
I believe doing an ‘internal’ cleanse (which also means staying away from outside negativity and useless ‘chaos in the world’) is beneficial. I am motivated primarily to lose inches and lose the bloated feeling that my body is currently experiencing. (A result of too much travel and spirits in the past 4 months!) I also have a vision of myself on my upcoming 61st Birthday and it does not include belly fat! I’d also love to drop 10 lbs. in 21 days and get back to my plant based diet that my body thrives on.
Spring is coming…. What a great time to shed what is no longer serving you? Drop FAT, drop poor habits, perhaps even release other things like PEOPLE, REGRETS, RELATIONSHIPS, COMMITMENTS, “SHOULDS”, things you say Yes to but really want to say No to, etc. and go on to be the ideal you.
Being ourselves- the BEST version of ourselves- is what this life is about. Being ourselves…after all, who else is better qualified?
And it begins with self-care.
Gal to the right did a 2 back to back 21-day cleanses. (not sure which one) Her body released the massive amount of toxins she was carrying around with little effort. She did experience like headaches and achy joints in the beginning but Ishe’d say it was worth it!
As for my before pictures, they are safely stored in our computer i-cloud.
Come to think of it, many people who use the Tavala TRIM and Tavala Transformational products get similar results as the gal above!
Once you have completed a cleanse, the Transformational package (inquiry here, info@DaveandJoy.com) could be the perfect way to reintroduce food and diet/exercise. Want results without doing a cleanse at this time? Ask me what program may be best for your goals. Order here: www.DaveandJoy.com
Personally, I needed a “WAKE UP and SHAKE ME UP” program which is why I started with a cleanse. Today is Day 2…with 19 days to go. I’m looking forward to a slimmer version of myself..one that smiles back at me when I look in the mirror.

DAY 6- Joy’s TAVALA JOURNEY
DAY 6- Joy’s TAVALA JOURNEY
May 8th……Spring time in Vermont and a great time to release ALL things that no longer serve you.
New Beginnings– this could mean an opportunity or business. (Don’t overlook things that are presented to you or what comes your way- be open to new ideas and opportunities).
New Season– here in Vermont after a long and cold winter, people are outside, enjoying fresh air and sunshine….and health and fitness naturally becomes more of a priority for many, including myself.
Today is Day 6 of “paying attention to what I am consuming- meaning both FOOD and DRINK” and incorporating TAVALA products into my daily regime! Awareness is important! I had become sloppy about my eating habits….not eating often enough, making silly choices when I do eat and consuming alcohol every night! Now with my public commitment to “SELF”, I am loving using the TAVALA TRIM & CONTROL to address my weight loss- while also adding the other products of TAVALA : Alert, Snooze and Bru.
Things are beginning to change and shift and I attribute it to the TAVALA TRIM product (and other TAVALA products that support health, energy, blood sugar normalization and adequate sleep!).
By drinking just 1 TRIM drink each morning I no longer have the cravings, my appetite is suppressed BUT even thought I am not hungry, I still eat 3 very sensible small meals per day and 1-2 small snacks.
My water intake has quadrupled, which as most of us know, helps with weight loss, avoiding fatigue and every organ in our body works more effectively when your body is well hydrated and balanced. Drinking 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water (we use water from our Kangen machine) will help with overall health.
I must say that I can not discount the Quantum Relief Strips. I have been using them daily, changing the strips (and often the location) every 48 hours. The Quantum Relief Strips have added a new sense of balanced energy (chi) and have helped me avoid any muscular aches and pains that often accompany a new workout regime. Yes, we have added weight training, cardio and almost daily, rebounding for helping with the lymph system remove waste.
Did you know toxins are stored in FAT CELLS and when you release the toxins fat cells shrink- and the fat is no longer needed to ‘house’ the toxins ? If you don’t remove toxins quickly you can feel MORE tired, or even have lactic acid. You may have heard this from friends who go on a cleanse and end up feeling worse before they feel better.
The Quantum Relief Strips help release ‘negative energy’ from the body and bring in positive energy in its place. Don’t go a day without them!
Is your belly too fat?
If your belly is too FAT, thank the fat for doing its job!!! FAT holds toxins and helps protect the internal organs!
So today, say THANK YOU to your FAT BELLY but then tell it -it’s time to go as it is no longer needed!!!!
What a concept!?!
I am very excited to be feeling so much energized and balanced since starting my TAVALA 14-day blitz.
With more than 2/3 of Americans (USA only) being overweight, we sure do have a fabulous market for the TRIM and other products. We are looking for people who wish to earn an additional income (easy to do TAVALA part time and make money!) and also those, like Dave and I who are leaders and want to earn a 6 and 7-figure income annually.
If this is you, please reach out to us today! We are expanding into International markets and the timing is RIPE for fast growth. 802-846-7530 or email us at info@DaveandJoy.com

Day 3: JOY’s TAVALA 14-Day Blitz
Day 3: JOY’s TAVALA 14-Day Blitz
Imagine eating healthy, exercising, nourishing your body with good food and supplementation and staying hydrated? Obviously you’d feel better, right? Of course you would.
Well this is how I am feeling on Day 3 of my 14-Day commitment to using and enjoying all of TAVALA’s products daily.
It’s not like rock-science…..
I started out with a commitment to fit into my jeans. I’ll be honest, this started out for vanity reasons, plus I just returned to Vermont after spending time in Florida with dozens of men and women who had recently dropped 10, 20, 30, 40 and even 50 lbs. in the past several months using TAVALA TRIM. THEY motivated and inspired me! (Motivation #1)
Sure, I wanted to have more sustained energy throughout the day and have enough energy to actually WANT to work out…. but the real reason I am doing this is I want to drop 15 pounds of fat…and be a better representation of what TAVALA’s products, especially the TRIM and CONTROL, can do for your health and weight management.
Here is what 10 lbs. of fat looks like… now that is a big blob of FAT!!! I am committed to dropping 15….. yes, those stubborn 15 lbs. that crept up on me in the past 4-5 years- during “menopause” leaving me with a men-o-pot! That’s right, at least 10 of those pounds went right to my mid-section making me look either 5 months pregnant, or more pear shaped, like my mother. Yikes! (Motivation #2)
Here’s a cool thing “belly thing’ that I noticed today, on day 3, at the gym doing ‘crunchy frog’ abs exercises. I could already tell my belly was smaller as I ‘crunchy frogged’ the exercise like a jackknife…seriously! (Motivation #3)
As a personal trainer I used to tell people to stay off the scale and go by body composition and how your clothes fit…. but there is still something about those darn scales that catch many (especially women) off guard…..and have us committed to weighing a certain number on the scale….rather than by the way we look and how we feel.
Still, take a look at this visual and tell me what you think about what a 150 lb. woman looks like…..
Actually you can’t, because there are many versions of what 150 lbs. reflects.
I weighed myself day 1 and will not weight myself (I don’t think) until day 8 and then day 15. Due to being naturally muscular, I have always weighed around 10 lbs. more than people would guess so I have to remind myself that if I transform my body using TAVALA’s products, that whatever the number is in 14 days doesn’t really equate to success or failure. Dropping 10 lbs. of FAT and adding 2 lbs. of lean muscle is a pretty good goal as well.
What am I doing differently with TAVALA the products? How am I incorporating them in my daily regime?
Control before each of my main meals (3x day)
TRIM in the morning after breakfast (drink)
Consume a min. of 1/2 ounce per body weight of water daily
Exercise at 11 am, Cardio, Weight Training alternation
Alert “mist” in the afternoon for sustained energy
Healthy meals, min. of 3 small meals and 1 mid-day snack
Rebounding on a mini-trampoline for a min. of 10 minutes each day (helps with lymph!)
NEW Quantum Relief Strip replaced every other day
Bru for an evening snack/hot beverage
SNOOZE “mist” before bed.
Consider joining me in committing to treat OUR TEMPLE/BODY with the respect and love that we deserve.
TAVALA makes it easy having products that work and work quickly! TRIM makes it easy as it is a metabolism booster and suppresses the appetite and cravings so you don’t have to rely 100% on motivation and discipline like when you go on a ‘diet.’
I’d love to hear your story with your TAVALA results. I have begun saving testimonials and have collected well over 150 so far.
To order your TAVALA TRIM or other TAVALA products (consider the Experience Pack that offers 1 of everything and saves you $85 on individual purchases.) Place your order by simply going to www.DaveandJoy.com
I’ll coach you for free. We’ll help each other with accountability… Have questions? call 802-846-7530 or email me at info@DaveandJoy.com.

Joy’s Day 2- TAVALA Product 14-Day Blitz
Joy’s Day 2- TAVALA 14-Day Blitz Product Blitz
It’s amazing how much easier something can be when you are truly committed and have the right mind-set. I decided a week ago to stick to a program that includes all of our TAVALA products, and to also include proper exercise, hydration, sleep, mind-set, the whole enchiladas!!! In other words, I committed to ME and to reach a level of health that has eluded me the past several years….. a smart thing to do if you are representing HEALTH products!
I SEE MY END RESULT of dropping 15 lbs…. (which I have tried to do many times in the past several years but NOW I also BELIEVE it will happen with the TAVALA products and I am DOING what is necessary to ensure the results!)
I am not a lazy woman, I simply did not put a priority on my health (and weight gain) and although I coach people all the time on the importance of keeping the metabolism burning with 4-5 smaller meals per day (No Skipping Meals!) as well as a combination of exercise that includes both resistance (weight training) and cardio, AND adequate water intake….somehow my days would fill up and at the end of the day I had ignored doing the simply practices (yes, practices is a good word) myself.
Well, at age 60 I looked at myself, looked at others younger and older than my age and decided I was going to be the best version of myself- with no comparison to my previous self or to others. It is not easy not comparing my 60 year old body to my 30 year old self, as I was a body builder in my 30’s and a personal trainer and I thrived on a fit, lean body. Then MENOPAUSE came and turned my world upside down! But it didn’t have to be that way, I’ll take responsibility, I had become complacent in my daily habits.
Thankfully TAVALA offers amazing products that address HEALTH on all levels. Starting with the TAVALA TRIM, you can begin to BOOST your METABOLISM on day 1. It is a thermogenic drink (available in capsule form too) that helps you get off your ‘set point’….which is that stubborn and stuck weight, or size that you currently are, no matter what you do!
On Wednesday, May 3rd I decided to take control of my weight and finally say GOOD BYE- once and for all- to the additional FAT pounds that had accumulated on my 5’6″ frame in the past 4-5 years. I say it is menopause and it certainly did spur on the shift in my ‘shape’ but it was more NOT PAYING ATTENTION to the positive habits for optimal health. (ie. getting lazy and complacent.)
Daily (not when I just need the energy!) I now drink a TRIM drink each morning and although I did not get on the scale on day 2, I honestly already have noticed a dramatic change in my energy, and my puffiness around my belly, in particular. I have added the CONTROL product that offers an additional boost in weight loss, addressing blood sugar levels. The TRIM & CONTROL have helped hundreds of people I know drop between 10 and 50 pounds in the past 3 months and many of these people insist that they did NOTHING different than to add these two products. (Trim in particular, as for the first couple of months, that was the only product that TAVALA offered.)
I am taking it a step further by eating sensible small meals -4x day…. which is NEW to me as typically with the TRIM my appetite and cravings are suppressed so greatly that I skip meals and hardly eat at all. Another dramatic daily practice is skipping my evening cocktails or glasses of wine. Yes, I said plural as I rarely just had one. It was my ‘reward’ for a day well done. 🙂
Bottom line, my mindset is set and I will transform my health/energy/body shape with our TAVALA products. The Quantum Relief Strips help with balancing my energy and chi and I put a new one on every 48 hours. Mid-day I take a ‘puff’ of the ALERT micro mister, for additional energy and at night I use the SNOOZE. Before bedtime I have been enjoying a small mug of TAVALA bru, which is a delicious and healthy Cacao drink.
I’ll keep you posted and will share my 100% experience which will probably have highs and lows…and in doing so I encourage you to consider trying the TAVALA products yourself. You can start with just the TRIM for $64.99 or you can experience 4-full weeks of all of the TAVALA products above, for only $299.

Neuroplasticity Coaching
Neuroplasticity is an umbrella term referring to the ability of your brain to reorganize itself, both physically and functionally, throughout your life due to your environment, behavior, thinking, and emotions.
A Neuroplasticity Coach is someone who listens and guides you through consciously identifying desired results and then building and applying a methodology designed to re-wire your brain to receive a chosen result. Most people receive the default results over and over. You can change how you process and you can receive the results you want!
Over 30 years ago I experienced a rapid increase in income by applying the principles of Neuroplasticity I learned in the early 1980’s. I went from struggling in a business to earning over $10,000 per month and got there in 60 days. 10 years later I used these same principles to identify a market, find a business partner and raised over 1.25 million in lines of credit to start and run the business. This all happened within 90 days of starting the re-wiring process.
I have see the results for myself and yes, Neuroplasticity works and it can work for you too.
Can anyone learn and benefit from applying Neuroplasticity? Yes.
The basic process:
- Choose a new result in any arena of your life
- Build a new model for your brain to process
- Implant this new pattern and image daily
- Act as if it’s already present. (Do the thing and you’ll have the power to do the thing. ~ Emerson)
I’ve been coaching others for 30 years in these methods and practices to literally change their results by changing the “neuro” wiring of their brain. 30 years ago the term, Neuroplasticity, wasn’t used in most circles, but self image, re patterning, and other terms coined by Maxwell Maltz who authored Pyscho-Cybernetics was.
How has this process been accepted by the world? Many professional coaches since the early 1960’s have used Neuro programing to elevate the game and results of athletes including the legendary coach Vince Lombardi of the Green Bay Packers. I first heard of the Russian Olympic teams using a form of rewiring in the late 60’s. The Golden Bear, Jack Nicklaus has consistently used a mindset coach to visualize each golf shot he takes on the course. Even allowing this visualization he goes thru before each shot to choose the club he will actually use to hit the ball.
Since then, professionals in every category, top producers and those striving to be a top producers use Neuroplasticity and Neuroplasticity coaches to reach and maintain their success. Who uses coaches today? Attorneys, executives, sales people, network marketers, entrepreneurs, teachers, athletes, students, etc. Anyone who desires to up their game and receive the results they want.
You can be a high performer too! If you happen to be telling yourself…. “no, that probably will not work for me” understand that it is a mindset and a pattern that is currently HOLDING you back.

Enjoying Who You Are-Where You Are! How Ketopia Helped !
Enjoying Who You Are-Where You Are! How Ketopia Helped !
Perhaps it is age and perhaps with age comes wisdom, or perhaps there comes a time that you learn to be authentic and being yourself is ENOUGH and it is OK… That YOU are OK JUST AS YOU ARE!!!!! All this striving for perfection and for being something other than what you authentically are is simply exhausting!
I feel at age 59 I have entered a pivotal time in my life of ACCEPTANCE~ and I can get emotional just thinking of it.
…. being born a fair skinned girl with flaming wavy red hair I always wanted to have dark skin and dark straight hair. When my body was muscular I wanted to look more feminine and even complained about my “ripples in my ab area.” (hello, those ‘ripples were a 6-pack) As I got older and my hair faded in color I wanted it to be red again and as my body went through menopause, I craved the lean belly I once had as a young teen and also as a body builder in my late 20’s and early 30’s.
It surely IS exhausting wanting to be something you can NEVER be….or at least can’t be authentically and easily! I call it “Striving to Arrive!”
When my hair went straighter after having kids I then permed my hair to make it wavy and added blonde highlights. Now, at age 59 my hair is worn CLIPPED closely to my scalp and I am enjoying the natural white color that is framing my face, as mother nature intended it to do. Did you know those with red hair never go gray they go WHITE instead?
I am still working on the BODY image “topic” but Ketopia has helped with my initial horror of the added belly fat that came with menopause and hormonal changes. (www.KetoPerfect.com)
I realize that being HEALTHY rather than the quest for being thin is a breath of fresh air. It’s not easy because I feel younger than my body looks, but I am working on the mindset that being more full figure is not only OK, it can be sexy. Ketopia addressed my STORED FAT that accumulated through menopause and I now feel like I am BACK to embracing my body that is aging gracefully despite the hormonal onset of temporary mid-section fat.
My three granddaughters are also a motivation of self-love and self- acceptance for who we are and how we look -no matter what-is beautiful. I do not want any of them feeling they are not OK exactly the way they are. Our culture does enough of that and I believe it is the family structure than needs to let our sons and daughters accept how they are is simply perfect.
Am I 100% with accepting who and how I am at my age ? No, but I am working on it. Taking time daily for meditation, self-reflection, exercise, nutritious food, contribution, and rich relationships are all part of my wheel of balance.
I encourage anyone who wants to chime in on this topic to please comment….. how are YOU handling being happy with who you are and where you are?
