"My Functional Wellness Experience."
I started working with Beth in April, and I can honestly say that it has been such a positive experience for me.
One of the biggest changes I’ve noticed has been in my body composition. I’ve increased my muscle mass while also improving my body’s ability to burn fat, and I feel stronger, leaner, and more confident in my body. Seeing those changes has been incredibly motivating.
As part of my wellness plan, I incorporated peptides and a more intentional supplement routine, including vitamin D, an anti-inflammatory supplement, omega-3 fish oil, creatine, MitoCore, and ReduCore. I also incorporated berberine, although I wasn’t always consistent with it.
What has been especially exciting is seeing the changes reflected in my actual lab work. My LDL cholesterol went from 158 to 113, which was a huge improvement, and my vitamin D increased from 38 to 78. Seeing those numbers change has given me tangible proof that the changes I’ve made are having an impact on my overall wellness.
But beyond the numbers, I think the biggest difference has been how I feel. I feel more confident in my body, more intentional about my health, and genuinely excited about the progress I’m making. It’s incredibly rewarding to put in the work and then see that work reflected both physically and in my lab results.
I’m so grateful for the guidance and personalized approach I’ve received throughout this process. Rather than simply telling me what I should do, this experience has helped me better understand my body and make changes that feel sustainable and purposeful.
I couldn’t be happier with the progress I’ve made since April, and I’m excited to continue building on these results!

"Where do I begin with my functional wellness journey?"
To tell this story, I must start with why Beth Donaldson and skinBe have truly changed my life for the better.
I am the father of two teenagers and watching them grow and pursue their dreams has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I want to be here for years to come, not only to see them build their futures, but also to watch them create families of their own. For me, that all starts with health and wellness.
Five years ago, my health was not where it needed to be. I was overweight, not eating well, and not living a healthy lifestyle. A health scare, combined with concerning blood work results, forced me to take a hard look at my future, and completely changed my mindset.
I committed to making major lifestyle changes. My strategy was simple: consistency. I focused on healthy nutrition, regular exercise, quality sleep, and making better choices every day. Over time, the results followed. I lost weight, felt better, looked healthier, and believed I had become a well-oiled machine.
Then I met Beth Donaldson and skinBe.
At first, I wondered what she could possibly help me with. I felt like I already had everything figured out. But after listening to Beth explain the principles of functional wellness for just 20 minutes, I found myself asking, “How did I not know any of this?”
I am a data-driven person who believes in science and measurable results. Beth’s approach immediately resonated with me because it is rooted in both. She didn’t just tell mewhat to do; she explained why it mattered. Whether it was nutrition, peptides, skincare, or something as simple as proper hydration, every recommendation was backed by data and a clear understanding of how the body works.
We began with a baseline body scan. I was already fairly happy with where I was, and I’ll admit I had some doubts about how much more improvement was possible. Those doubts disappeared within 30 days.
In just one month:
- Body fat decreased by 3%
- Lean muscle mass increased
- Visceral fat dropped from 3% to 2%
- Body weight decreased by 2.5%
- Vascularity was noticeably improved in my before-and-after photos
As someone who values data, I can confidently say the numbers do not lie. Beth’s expertise, personalized approach, and commitment to her patients deliver real results.
I am incredibly excited about what lies ahead on this functional wellness journey, and I look forward to continuing to build on these results. Most importantly, I am investing in a healthier future for myself and my family.
Thank you, Beth, for helping me become an even healthier version of myself. And from my children, thank you for helping ensure their father will be around to share in many more milestones, memories, and years to come.

"I deserve to be a priority, too."

The before-and-after photos show the physical changes — but what they don’t show is the consistency, discipline, workouts, supplements, peptides, and intentional choices that happened behind the scenes.
Beth completely changed the way I look at my body.
She taught me that optimizing your body isn’t about chasing perfection or looking for a quick fix. It’s about understanding your body, giving it what it needs, and being intentional about the choices you make every single day.
I am a mom of two boys+ a dog. I’m a wife. I’m a homemaker. I’m a full-time employee. My life is busy, and there are a thousand reasons I could give myself to put me last.
But I realized something:
I deserve to be a priority, too.
This journey has taught me that transformation doesn’t happen overnight. It happens when you keep showing up. When you choose the workout. When you take your supplements. When you stay consistent. When you make the better choice even when nobody is watching.
And when you stop asking, “How fast can I change?” and start asking, “How intentionally can I take care of myself?”
Beth has changed more than my body. She has changed the way I see what my body is capable of.
I feel stronger. I feel more confident. I feel more in control of my health and my choices.
And I am incredibly proud of the woman in these after photos — not because she is perfect, but because she didn’t give up on herself.
If you’re waiting for the perfect time, the perfect schedule, or the perfect circumstances to start taking care of yourself, stop waiting.
You don’t need a perfect life.
You just need to decide that you are worth showing up for.
I’m a mom of two. I’m a wife. I’m a homemaker. I’m a full-time employee.
And I CAN DO IT.
YOU CAN DO IT TOO.
