"At 209 pounds, I didn’t even recognize myself in the mirror anymore...I felt tired, invisible, and completely out of control."
Hi, I’m Sarah McDowell and I'm a busy mom who recently turned 56. I live with my husband and two children in the Midwest.
I never imagined I’d be sharing this part of my life online, but if my story helps even one woman feel hopeful again, then it’s worth it.
A few months ago, I was stuck at 209 pounds, constantly exhausted, and honestly? I felt invisible. Nothing I tried worked - not keto, not intermittent fasting, not even hour-long cardio sessions.
I felt like I was doing everything right, yet the scale only crept higher.
I blamed my hormones, my age, even my metabolism. But deep down, I was just tired of fighting my body every day, but then things got worse.
A Wake-Up Call I Couldn't Ignore
Things got real when my doctor warned me my blood sugar levels were high — dangerously close to developing diabetes. That terrified me.
Then The Unexpected Happened...
My old friend Martha, a mom around my age, called out of the blue. She sounded amazing. More energetic. Confident. Like her old self again.
She told me she’d lost over 20 pounds in just a few weeks — not by starving herself or working out like crazy — but by drinking a simple Costa Rican tea each day.
Naturally, I was skeptical. I’m thinking "Costa Rican tea? Really?" But then she said:
“Sarah, this isn’t just another tea. It’s based on real research. There are studies from Stanford, Healthline, WebMD... the ingredients actually target the hormonal root of stubborn fat.”
Later on that night I was browsing social media, and I saw a post about a woman around my age who had lost a whopping 167 pounds by drinking the exact same tea my friend Martha was going on about. (screenshot below). After that, I decided to put on my detective hat. I just had to know more.
I Did My Homework
The more I researched, the more I was fascinated by what I was learning. This wasn’t just another slimming tea fad. The ingredients were proven time and time again to balance hormones, target stubborn fat, and revitalize metabolism and had the science to back it up.
I found studies from Stanford, WebMD and other prestigious institutions that confirmed everything Martha had told me and more. Science Daily even has study showing that one of the ingredients activates the "AMPK" protein and can support weight loss plus improve your metabolism, even when other methods have failed.
I Called Martha Again...
She’d lost a total of 93 pounds and felt better than she had in decades. That's when I got excited and told her without hesitation: “Send me the recipe. I’m ready!”
I Got the Recipe. I Got the Resulsts
After getting off the phone with Martha, she sent me a short video where she had originally learned about the recipe. She told me to watch it from start to finish, so I did. By the end of the video, I had everything I needed to start. I wrote down the recipe and showed it to my doctor. He immediately gave me the green light.
“It's all safe and natural, so go for it!”
my doctor said enthusiastically.
And so, with my doctor's green light blessing, I figured I had nothing to lose but the pounds, so I went to the store with my ingredient list. Most of the ingredients I already had in my kitchen!
My Transformation Begins
Within just a few days of drinking the tea each morning:
I felt energized
My cravings disappeared
I wasn’t binge eating anymore
I dropped 3 inches off my waist within weeks — without changing my diet
I didn’t even feel hungry until hours later — and when I did, I naturally started choosing healthier food. My body was working with me for the first time in years.
My Doctor's Jaw Dropped!
Fast forward to today. I’ve lost 60 pounds, my blood sugar is normal, my energy is back, and I’ve completely reshaped my body. I feel better than I have for years!
My doctor was shocked, in the best way: “Keep it up,” he said. “This tea is doing something real.”
I believe this transformation even helped me get a promotion at work — I walk taller, speak with confidence, and have the energy to take on more.

P.S.
As you may know, this recipe is beginning to go viral on social, but the funny thing, is that it's centuries old! Until recently, the recipe was only known by the Costa Rican people, and specifically on the small Nicoya Peninsula, where people's average life expectancy is 90 with many living to over 100!
P.P.S.
