From Burnout to Balance: My Health Journey

My name is Amy, and this is my Beneve story. A little over a year ago, I felt like I was drowning. I was trying to do it all—teaching, coaching, running a household with four kids (three of whom play basketball, one plays guitar, and two are in college), and constantly feeling like I was falling short. My body was exhausted, my mind was overwhelmed, and my spirit felt empty. I had poured so much energy into everything and everyone else that I had nothing left for myself.  

Physically, I was struggling. I had gained weight, felt sluggish, and my balance was off and I could feel I was heading into a change with my body—it was my reality. The fatigue was relentless, and the mood swings made me feel like a stranger in my own body. I was taking things to improve my mood, but they weren’t fixing the deeper issues. I wasn’t just physically drained; I was emotionally disconnected.  

And it wasn’t just affecting me. My kids saw the version of me that was constantly tired, short-tempered, and mentally checked out. I was still there for them, but not in the way I wanted to be. My relationships suffered because I didn’t have the energy or patience to pour into them. Even the things I once enjoyed felt like a burden.  

Then, something shifted. I started focusing on my physical health first, introducing Beneve supplements into my routine. At first, it was just about getting my body to feel better—more energy, more balance. I started with the Limitless trio and then added the Wellness trio in too! But those small steps created a ripple effect. As my body healed, my mind followed. I started exercising regularly, not out of obligation, but because I wanted to. I lost 60 pounds—not through some crash diet, but by genuinely caring for my body. And the biggest change? I no longer needed anything else to support my moods.  

But the transformation didn’t stop there. I felt better physically, but something was still missing. That’s when I made my way back to church. It wasn’t an overnight shift; it was a slow realization that my spiritual and mental health needed as much attention as my physical health. The more I leaned into my faith, the more clarity I had about my purpose, my priorities, and the kind of mom, friend, and woman I wanted to be.  

Looking back, I realize that I had been searching for balance in all the wrong places. I was chasing success, trying to do too much, and pouring from an empty cup. Now, I see life differently. I’m not perfect, but I’m present. I’m not drained, but I’m driven—by the right things. And the best part? I get to help others find that balance too.  

This journey has been about so much more than weight loss and stopping the search to improve my moods. It’s about stepping into the life I was meant to live—healthy, strong, and full of purpose. And if you’re feeling anything like I was, just know that change is possible. One small step at a time.

I first learned about Beneve when I was at a breaking point—physically, emotionally, and mentally. I was exhausted, struggling with my weight, and relying on extreme measures to improve my moods, just to get through the day. My energy was gone, my mood was unpredictable, and I felt like I had lost control of my own well-being. I had tried so many things before, but nothing truly made a difference.

Then, I was introduced to Beneve. At first, I was skeptical. Could a few simple products really help me feel better? But I was desperate for change, so I gave it a shot. And I’m so glad I did.

The first thing I noticed was energy—real, lasting energy, not the kind that crashes by midday. Beneve’s Coffee became my morning lifesaver. Not only does it taste amazing, but it gives me that steady boost I need to start my day strong. No jitters, no crash—just clean, sustained energy that keeps me going.

Then there’s the Watermelon Berry drink, which has been a total game changer. It helps support my cortisol levels, improves my mood, and keeps me feeling good all day. It has taken care of the brain fog! I used to feel drained by afternoon, but now, I feel steady and clear-headed, even through the busiest days.

And the Power of 3? It’s been an essential part of my routine. Supporting my sleep and supporting the inflammatory process in my body has made such a difference—not just in how I feel physically, but in my overall well-being. I sleep better, recover faster from workouts, and just feel healthier inside and out.

Since starting Beneve, my life has completely transformed. I’ve lost 60 pounds, I no longer need anything else to support my mood, and I actually enjoy exercising. My mood is stable, my confidence is back, and I’m showing up for my kids in a way I couldn’t before. Even my friends and family have noticed the difference. They say I look happier, healthier, and more like me again.

If you’re feeling stuck, exhausted, or just off, I want you to know there’s hope. I was where you are—frustrated, overwhelmed, and unsure if change was even possible. But taking that first step with Beneve set everything in motion. Start with one thing. Just one. You never know how much better you can feel until you start. And trust me, it’s so worth it.
