EP 52: How Lisa Hudson-Beale Turned a Heartbreaking Crisis into Her Healthiest Chapter
In Episode 52 of Your Ultimate Comeback, hosts Brad and Raquel are joined by guest Lisa Hudson-Beale, who opens up about her and her husband’s inspiring health journey. Lisa recounts the terrifying moment when her husband suffered a “widow maker” heart attack—a sudden, complete blockage of his LAD artery at age 60. This life-altering event became the catalyst for Lisa’s own personal comeback.
For years, Lisa struggled with her weight and health, often turning to food for comfort. Despite trying numerous diets, nothing seemed to last. But her husband’s brush with mortality made her realize it was time to make a serious, lasting change for the sake of both herself and her family. Together, they committed to a healthier lifestyle—cutting out processed foods, walking daily, and focusing on nutritious choices.
Lisa discovered The Schwarzbein Principle, a book that shifted her perspective on health, teaching her that it’s not just about weight loss but about building a sustainable lifestyle. Over the next 18 months, Lisa lost 50 pounds and her husband shed 35 pounds, supporting each other through their transformation. She also came to understand her all-or-nothing mentality when it comes to food, realizing that moderation wasn’t her path to success, which helped her stay consistent.
Now nearing her 60th birthday, Lisa shares how she feels better than she did in her 50s and hopes her story will inspire others who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Her message is clear: no fad diets or extreme workouts are needed—just small, consistent changes that lead to lasting results. Join Brad, Raquel, and Lisa on this powerful episode as they discuss the journey to reclaiming health and happiness, and remember, it’s never too late for your ultimate comeback.
