As a nurse with 30 years of experience, I have seen countless
patients struggling with their weight and related chronic health issues. I too, have had years of my own personal battles with being “morbidly obese” (according to the BMI scale), emotional eating, yo-yo dieting, and even an “incurable” health diagnosis.
Through all these experiences, primarily through prayer, faith, and studying the
research, I discovered how to dramatically reduce inflammation, overcome obesity, and improve my metabolic and overall health naturally. By embracing dense nutrition and lifestyle shifts, I released 75 lbs, put Multiple Sclerosis into clinical remission, and regained my vitality.
Now, I am on a mission to help YOU find hope and achieve the healthiest version of you! Your life is precious. You deserve to feel fully alive, energetic, and confident so that you can live the life that God designed for you. You don’t have to do this alone!


I can’t express how much I appreciate you Amy, for teaching these classes! You have shared your knowledge, wisdom, love, and kindness with all of us. You have prayed with us, encouraged us, coached us, and cheered us on the whole entire way! I’ve not only gotten healthier physically but also mentally and spiritually! I’ve lost 18lbs in the last 12 weeks… but more importantly, I feel so much better!! I hope and pray that many will sign up for these classes and see for themselves how wonderful the benefits are!

Finding the RTW group was an answer to my prayers for help in improving my mental and physical health. Amy’s guidance and teaching have enabled me to not only better understand my body and its needs, but also has equipped and motivated me to maintain a steady walk towards better health and mobility. I have so many wins, including (but not not limited to): 1. Better mobility, with less and less joint pain each week 2. Less inflammation 3. 22+ pounds gone 4. 3+ inches smaller in waist 5. No cravings 6. Satisfied, but not stuffed 7. Confidence in the fact that these are life changes, not just a passing phase. 8. I can both see and feel progress every single week, physically and mentally

This group popped in my Facebook account at just the right time. After reading the overview and then talking to Amy Sandifer Barrett I was positive this was the group for me. Amy took the time to listen to my concerns and gave me great coaching from her own experience. I don’t know that any doctor or nutritionist has taken this much time to explain and help teach me the “why’s.” As a learner this is what I needed. I also needed a safe place to ask my questions. Amy has provided all of this. When I struggled or stumbled during the 12-week journey, she provided encouragement and taught me the importance of progress not perfection!! I now know that every time I make the next best choice I am working toward my goals. I’m down over 10 pounds but the most important thing is that I now understand how my body works with the proper nutrition to heal itself. Praise God, I’m not counting calories. Just eating and living life!! A doctor telling me I needed to follow a healthier diet or I needed to lose weight had not motivated me. RELEASE THE WEIGHT has helped me be grateful and more hopeful…and build a long-term plan to sustain my health. I have improved energy and mood!!! So thankful for this!!

I've lost 15 pounds and 3 inches from my waist, and I feel much better in my clothes! Fueling my body correctly keeps me satisfied throughout the day and has eliminated my daily cravings. For the first time in my adult life, it isn't a mental battle to "be good" around the food!

23 lbs, 5 1/2 inches from my waist, and many more inches RELEASED!!! But even better than the scale victory is that I am happy with myself!! I wake up energized and excited to start my day and I feel great!! Release The Weight has changed me physically, mentally, emotionally, and internally. It has changed the way I eat and think about eating! I have always been a “grazer” eating only honey buns, cakes, cookies, and candy all day. The only way I ever lost weight was by completely not eating but on RTW I eat until I’m satisfied. I do not even want to snack between meals. Food does NOT control me anymore! I thought RTW would be like all the other weight loss programs, but AMY was the difference! I learned something new every week! The support and encouragement from her and everyone in RTW kept me motivated. Amy, thank you for your time, effort, and prayers you put into us, and for developing a lifestyle program that can actually be sustained. You are a fountain of knowledge flowing with information and ENCOURAGEMENT!! I pray God never lets your fountain run dry so that you can continue to bless people like me who feel defeated and need guidance! You are the BEST! Ready for RTW for LIFE!

I am so thankful that I joined this group! I am so amazed not only for myself but others as well! The mental aspect of self control that I never knew possible is a blessing! Even with all of life’s demands, I have stayed the course! Just the fact that I feel so much better has kept me away from the sugars and chocolate that set off a feeding frenzy! I have lost 28 pounds and 5 inches from my waist, 1 inch from my thigh, and an inch from my neck! Even when not losing weight, I could feel the difference in my clothes and stomach, especially! (Update: I’m now 40lbs down since starting RTW program8 months ago!)Thank you Amy!!!!

Release The Weight was truly a God thing in my life. I didn’t get to be present for many of the classes…but I did watch all the replays promptly and stuck to the program. It has improved my self awareness and self forgiveness. It was able to bring to mind so many things about nutrition that I knew, but it put it all together in a way that is easy and just makes sense. Thank you so much Amy! I’ve lost 20 pounds. I have a little more before I hit my goal weight but I’m so content right now. Thank you again!

The program helps with much more than weight loss. It builds confidence in one’s self and knowledge to journey through the new lifestyle.

RTW is a blessing in my life that has changed me in every way for the good! Have tried many “weight loss” programs… with so many do’s & don’ts. Amy gave us concise information of how foods effects our whole person… brain, emotions, & body. She taught us how to personally analyze how food effected us individually. We were then left to choose what helped us & what triggered us to work against ourselves. The most liberating but helpful program I’ve ever been a part of. I will carry these things and implement them in my life.

I knew that I was being led to participate, so I just trusted God with it and jumped in for the ride. So glad I did! I have grown further in my understanding of stewardship of the body and the life that I have been blessed with. Physically I have lost some painful foot, knee and joint pain. I had been experiencing more stomach cramping too--due not only to the added ingredients in some foods these days that aren't very good for us, but also due to what I wasn't giving my body that I DID need, and those physical discomforts are no longer a thing for me! I learned about what causes inflammation, especially in the organs of our body where it can wreak havoc. I learned better ways to nourish the body and feel satisfied all of the time and this has resulted in many many positive benefits. I heard more about how the body is created to work and that led to how to best partner WITH it to maximize being strong and healthy--not more frail and weak or losing bone density and strength--particularly as we age. Healing from the inside out has been huge. I have increased physical strength, energy and definitely sleep better. Amy is delightful and a joy and an amazing person and getting to know her has blessed me so much! I thank God for His lead to continue to grow physically, mentally and spiritually and become more aligned with Him and His ways, because my answered prayer was and IS for Him to be my teacher in every area. I'm thankful for the increased joy and new friendships that He graciously added to this package! Side benefits... I lost inches for sure, and I did ending up releasing 10 previously stubborn pounds.

You have to learn to trust the process and understand that this is indeed a lifestyle change that doesn’t happen overnight, but if you embrace the program and go “all-in” you will see results. I am very thankful that you chose to share your knowledge and experience with me in the form of the RTW program. It has been an amazing experience and completely worth the investment.

I feel much more confident in my ability to understand food choices in general and how they specifically affect my body. I am better able to plan and have been able to develop a lifestyle approach to good habits so that I am not without healthy, golden guide options. Parting note, I have released a lot of guilt associated with my relationship with food.

You CAN do this!!! I’ll forever be grateful to you Amy!!!

This program has so much information about proper diet and the best ways to eat.

That it’s a lifestyle change and not a diet. Amy's faith is inspirational! Thank you for all your hard work.
