A Life-Changing Challenge: How GirlTREK Sparked My Wellness Journey
Last year I embarked on a wellness journey that wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of GirlTREK. Their challenge to our national team to get into the best shape of our lives ignited a healthy mindset change in my life. This challenge led me to Dr. Jada Moore Ruffin, widely known as the Real Wellness Guru and Weight-loss Doctor—the celebrity wellness doctor of Atlanta. But to me, she is far more than that. Dr. Jada is kindhearted, generous and deeply committed to supporting her patients on their wellness journey and goes far beyond the call of duty to do all that she can to make sure they experience results that they are proud of. I am truly blessed to call her not only my doctor but also my GirlTREK sister and my friend.
She's The Harriet of Healthcare: The Doctor Who Learned the way & Came back for Me
A year ago, I was in a dark place—battling chronic pain, fatigue, and depression. When I reached out to Dr. Jada, I was seeking relief from the chronic pain, but what I found was a path to reclaiming my entire life. Under her expert care, my chronic pain was not only alleviated, but I also overcame fatigue and depression, gained mental clarity, and lost 50 pounds. Dr. Jada’s support and compassion were instrumental in my success, and I could not have achieved it without her guidance.
Guided by Grace: The Unwavering Support of GirlTREK & Cofounder's Morgan and Vanessa
This journey was also profoundly shaped by the co-founders of GirlTREK, Morgan and Vanessa. They didn’t just challenge us—they promised to support us every step of the way, and they delivered. With their encouragement, I took a seven-month medical leave to focus on my health, and GirlTREK stood by me throughout, providing the time and space I needed to heal. JOIN this lifesaving sisterhood.
The Power of Support: Triumph Through Community and Care
GirlTREK’s unwavering commitment, combined with Dr. Jada’s phenomenal care, has helped me become the healthiest, happiest version of myself. This journey has been about much more focusing on the physical, it has been a rediscovery of my strength, resilience, and purpose. I am forever grateful to Dr. Jada and the GirlTREK founders and team for their love, support, and belief in me.
