April Arend - Athlete

So, it has been a week since I quit taking the hormones from Hone, I had to stop taking them before getting updated bloodwork Saturday.

I have not went back on them... Since Wednesday last week (6/10) I am down 5 #! I started peptides Friday, carnivore Sunday, and trying to up my water intake as well as keeping my training routine 6 days a week.

Monday Wednesday and Friday Chris and I workout full body or body specific areas. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays are typically Jiu Jitsu Training days. Sunday is rest day unless we go to GA GB Headquarters for their open mat.

We stay active and busy because even when we are not working out we are not sedentary. That is why I was having a hard time understanding WHY my weight was climbing as fast as it was...

New scan this morning (5 days later) weight -5, body fat down, Body Fat is - 4.8, Muscle mass - .4.

We are still waiting on blood work results but the scale is going in the right direction now!

Today's update:
Bloodwork ✅
Grocery Shopped for Carnivore diet ✅

Tomorrow we will cook for the week!

I will update as bloodwork comes in...

I will share workouts starting Monday if you would like... comment below or message me what updates you are looking forward to!

Does this sound familiar?

Just know you are not alone in the fight against your own body and hormones.

I am currently 18 pounds up in 4 months. For those who personally know me, I train hard and often. I have worked extremely hard to lose weight in the past 13 years. I was finally comfortable in my skin, then something happened... I do not know what... but I am in the process of trying to figure it out.

I plan on sharing my journey with you all. If you are interested in following my journey, click follow to get all the updates.

I scanned on my InBody scanner this morning so I have an updated scan to see where the weight is going and my basal metabolic rate and all the things. I go in the morning for updated bloodwork.

I plan on starting Carnivore diet Monday. According to my holistic health practitioner course, that is the best way to do a full body reset and cleanse the body.

Tell me below what information specifically you would like to know about my journey... workouts daily diet? I am here to help others!! I will share to help anyone and everyone I can... this is NO FUN!

❤️🙏🏻 In all things God has a plan!

I am looking for a couple of people who are determined to make some changes and take control of their health.

Are you ready to eat clean? Workout to build functional muscles and gain a better quality of life?

You do not have to be local! I can send you workout and check in every few days via text or video! I just want to help people who are ready to feel better!

Check out my Son-in-law's new company! He has put a lot of work into this new venture. I love that they dream big and never give up!

No matter where you are located, I would love to help you get stronger and healthier.

Feeling good in my own skin is the best thing I have ever done for myself. Now, I strive to help others do the same!

Space is limited.

I wanted to share my journey this year...

I was. doing great, maintaining my weight, staying strong then 2026 came along and my weight started climbing. I gained 15lbs in 8 weeks. I was eating clean, I was training in the gym hard and continuing on my jiu jitsu journey.

I was beside myself. I could not understand why I was working so hard to be the best version of myself I could be and my body seemed out of control.

I saw an advertisement for Hone. Since I personally have no health insurance, I thought this may help me get some answers. I went and got my labs done and found out my Estrogen, Progesterone and Testosterone were non existent. My Thyroid T3 was low but there.

My Hone Dr. was very knowledgeable and helpful, I started my treatment plan and the brain fog has gotten better, my fatigue and constant tiredness is going away. I am hoping my weight will go back where it belongs soon!

If you would like to keep hearing my progress, comment below to let me know, I would be happy to share if it helps someone else with the same or similar symptoms, I would love to help.

If you would like to try Hone and see what your labs look like, here is a link to where I have started my journey!
