Sally says, "No longer am I burnt out, moody, and grumpy!"
Sally shares, "I've been a long-time ZINGer, but I feel it’s finally time to properly share my adventures, well, at least start to tell my story!
My health journey really kicked off back in 2017. At that stage, life was challenging but exciting, juggling three young kids under four.
Despite early struggles (being told at 29 I was already heading into perimenopause!), I managed to hit my stride. I was teaching Zumba, running marathons for fun, and never missed a Saturday parkrun - seriously, I have never missed one unless COVID cancelled it or I was in hospital. I loved life, and I felt great.
But then, in 2020, COVID hit hard. Melbourne lockdowns took away the freedom to run, dance, and have much-needed me-time. I found myself stuck at home, trying to juggle full-time work and homeschooling three kids - aged 4 and 7-year-old twins.
My one hour outside became family walks with kids who didn’t want to be there, and my cherished solo evening walks vanished entirely due to curfews. Work-life boundaries blurred, burnout crept in, and before I knew it, I was constantly grumpy, exhausted, and feeling overwhelmed.
Fast forward to 2023: life threw another curveball - an unexpected hysterectomy which pushed me straight into menopause.
Suddenly, I was navigating a totally new set of health challenges, including dealing with a lipedema diagnosis, a low-FODMAP anti-inflammatory diet, and struggling with feeling embarrassed about the changes in my body and mind. It was hard, and honestly, I felt lost.
Sally's results with Zing Wellbeing
Then, in November 2024, something finally clicked. Changing jobs gave me a fresh start, and I realised I needed to prioritise myself again.
Although I'd been using Zing Wellbeing’s recipes on and off since they launched, it wasn’t until early this year, when the Zing Wellbeing app appeared, that I really jumped back into it wholeheartedly.
In just six months of fully embracing Zing Wellbeing’s community and recipes, my life has transformed notably:
• Clothes that once seemed never to fit again, now fit comfortably - I'm wearing my favourite outfits again!
• My sleep quality is significantly better.
• Mental clarity has increased, and I’m no longer a grumpy, moody mum!
• My resting heart rate is significantly lower.
• My 5km running time keeps improving - I’ve cut almost 10 minutes off, and my parkruns feel amazing again.
• I'm back teaching Zumba after many years, full of renewed energy and zest.
I've truly found my groove again. No longer am I burnt out, moody, grumpy, or trailing behind my kids - I’m leading the way! I have energy, balance, and joy back in my life.
I’m prioritising myself in ways I never thought possible, and I absolutely love life once more.
I feel like the real me - the one who had been hiding away for far too long - is finally back in action, healthier and happier.
Most importantly, I feel genuinely content and back in control.
Zing Wellbeing gave me practical tools and a compassionate space to reconnect with wellness, without judgment or pressure."
"For me, Zing Wellbeing stands out because it’s not just another diet or weight-loss program. It’s about real people, real-life struggles, and genuinely sustainable solutions, it focuses on nurturing the whole person, not just weight or appearance, but looking within.
The recipes are realistic and my complicated dietary needs, you can meal prep key ingredients in advance, and my family happily jumps in to help cook them fresh each night, often with leftovers for the next day!
The wellbeing section of the app and live sessions with coaches keep me accountable, prompting me to proactively focus on mindset and sleep.
I especially love that Zing Wellbeing genuinely listens and constantly keeps it real, catering specifically to the unique needs of peri- and menopausal women (and any woman trying to be the best version of themselves). It’s not about numbers or quick fixes, it’s about realistic, holistic wellness, improving mental clarity, and regaining control over your life."
"Honestly, I recommend Zing Wellbeing because it has genuinely helped me rediscover myself. The menopause journey from athletic peak to hormonal struggles, parenting overwhelm, and significant life upheavals, combined with the stress and health challenges of recent years, these have tested me in every possible way.
But Zing Wellbeing gave me the tools, support, and encouragement to start fresh. It reminds me that some days are tough, some days are amazing, but if you show up and smash it out no matter what, you’ll always feel proud of those small steps (or my ""Sally Steps""), that help us along this journey called life.
Zing Wellbeing is a game-changer for women like me who are ready to reclaim their health, happiness, and zest for life. It empowers without pressuring, provides community without judgment, and fosters a sustainable, holistic path to wellness.
If you’re struggling, feeling stuck, or simply seeking genuine health and happiness, Zing offers tools, inspiration, and community support unlike anything else I’ve tried."
