“Bound for Change” is a comprehensive, structured, and highly motivational self-help book aimed at individuals using the weight loss medication Zepbound (tirzepatide). It positions itself as a practical, no-nonsense guide to building sustainable habits around the medication, treating Zepbound as a tool rather than a cure. The book combines science-backed explanations, actionable lifestyle systems, emotional support, and real-world client stories to create a holistic program.
Explore a proven system that bridges the gap between powerful medication and permanent lifestyle change, transforming not just your body, but your daily habits, your strength, and your identity for life.
This chapter reframes the struggle, arguing you've been fighting a system stacked against you, not a personal failing. It introduces Zepbound as a powerful tool to level the playing field and presents the Mark 1 system as the blueprint for building sustainable habits that will outlast the medication itself.
A clear, science-backed explanation of how Zepbound works as a GLP-1/GIP medication, reprogramming hunger signals. It crucially outlines what the drug doesn't do—fix habits or build muscle—and establishes the mindset of using this pharmacological advantage as a window to rebuild your lifestyle from the ground up.
Shifts the focus from eating for fullness to eating for fuel. Introduces the core "Protein + Fiber + Hydration" formula, providing practical rules, portion guides, and a sample meal plan designed to preserve muscle and maintain energy while your appetite is naturally suppressed by the medication.
Her debut novel, Tightrope, is a memoir based on her personal experience growing up in a family rocked by mental illness and alcoholism.
