Elaine Mehdizadeh

Lost over 100lbs*

When Elaine retired in 2016, health issues like pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol became serious concerns. Her wakeup call came when she developed an abscess in her leg, prompting her to make a lifestyle change. Elaine started the New Mayo Clinic Diet in June 2021 and has since lost over 100 pounds. 

Now, she's off her blood pressure medication and enjoying longer hikes. Elaine's success with the New Mayo Clinic Diet extends beyond weight loss to significant improvements in her overall wellbeing.

Now, with a cruise on the horizon and a newfound love for healthy eating, Elaine encourages others to take control of their health and join the Mayo Clinic Diet.
