Stuck to Thriving®

The proven 90-day system to live pain-free, have lasting energy, overcome digestive issues, and lose weight for good using the food you get at the grocery store.

Join thousands of women around the world in taking control of your health naturally, living the life you’ve dreamed of.

Are you tired of waking up every day feeling drained, weighed down by constant joint pain, and frustrated by irritable bowels?

Do you want a life where you can move freely without pain, have abundant energy, not always be looking for the nearest bathroom, and finally shed those stubborn pounds—for good?

I’ve been where you are…

…doing endless cleanses & detoxes, trying to “eat clean,” eliminating gluten, counting calories…

…all the things that promise results but never provide lasting change. 

After all the time and frustration, you’re left with temporary results that disappear with your next vacation. And you’re stuck in the paralysis of not knowing how to live a real life and feel good.

I get it. For years and years, I tried everything.

But still, my gut was in disrepair, I was hungry, deprived, and left with constant pain that made me feel twenty years older.

 

Busy mom of 7 kids with PCOS, balanced hormones, and lost over 20 pounds.

"Not once have I felt deprived. I was able to get rid of the diet mentality, my hormones are in check and I lost 20 lbs and 20 inches!! I found freedom! Food doesn't control me and neither do my hormones."

– Amanda R.

 

It wasn’t until I got to the root of all these symptoms.

When I did, I got lasting relief!

Nicole reduced her chiropractic care and overcame constant back pain!

“Since beginning STT, I've noticed clearer skin and I no longer feel controlled by food cravings. I've lost over 13 pounds so far.

My biggest change is that I've seen a huge improvement in my back pain - I have so much less pain and stiffness! I'm able to get through the day without even noticing pain or worrying that my activities of daily living will cause pain now that I've been able to decrease inflammation through STT!

"I’ve struggled with inflammation and have had pain every day for years and nothing seemed to help and it put me in a wheelchair for about 6 months at one point— I worked with Kara and she showed me how to change my nutrition to decrease inflammation, give me energy, eliminate migraines, help me get off sleep medicine, AND I NO LONGER HAVE PAIN! This has been life-changing for me."

– Abba L.

My bowels are regular and that is something I haven't had in 15 years. I'm no longer addicted or craving sugar. Learning how to eat and to never feel deprived has been a game changer for me. I no longer feel the need to ‘reward myself’ after a rough day."

Here are some frequently asked questions:

  • I wish we could tell you that Stuck to Thriving would absolutely "work," but I can't. There is no magical pill that will bring you to your health goals. YOU are the only one who gets to decide if it will work. If you're willing to take action, trust the process, and work through all the phases, you will get results (and quickly)! Just look what my clients are saying:

    “​​I am loving this whole process. I'm not tired and grabbing for caffeine at 3 in the afternoon. I don't have brain fog or bloating anymore. My bowels are regular and that is something I haven't had in 15 years. I'm no longer addicted or craving sugar. Learning how to eat and to never feel deprived has been a game changer for me. I no longer feel the need to "reward myself" after a rough day.”

    – Kendra A.

    "I lost over 6 inches with just eating healthy. I wasn’t able to exercise like I had hoped due to physical restrictions, but I still lost inches because I was fueling my body properly. If you are on the fence about joining, do it. It will be the best decision you can make for yourself and the health of your family!"

    – Christine S.

    “Kara has given me tools to explore food and my overall diet. The bonus (and let’s be honest a goal of mine) is that through the process I’ve lost 10 lbs so far without having to follow everything to a T. Giving myself grace is part of the process and the reason I’ve been successful thus far.”

    – Melissa M.

    “I have been yo-yo dieting for years. I wanted freedom from strict calorie counting diets which I had been doing my entire life. Once I began working with Kara I realized that it was possible! I lost 34 lbs but more importantly my glucose levels, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure all improved. My A1C dropped 12 points! I have a positive relationship with food and see it as fuel for my body. Kara helped me create new habits and encouraged me along the way. Kara is a force to be reckoned with as she is so supportive and motivating. If you have thought about working with Kara, do it! It will be one of the best decisions you make for yourself and your health.”

    – Taylor Krumm

    “She gave me great ways to fight back naturally the inflammation in my body. I love the way Kara impressed upon me the simplicity of eating healthy.”

    – Julie C.

    “I had two babies back to back and had gained 80 pounds and lost myself. I didn’t know how to eat healthy or take care of myself. Kara has changed all of that in one month. I have lost inches and pounds but most importantly I found myself again. I am so so happy to have found Kara. I feel incredible and not once did I ever feel deprived! This isn’t a diet, it’s a lifestyle change and it sticks!”

    – Victoria C.

    “Would highly recommend this program to anyone who desires a healthy lifestyle but feels as if there's no time to implement one. It's possible with Kara Swanson!”

    – Anna C.

    “I have now lost 42 pounds and my calcium and vitamin D levels that have been very low forever are now in the normal ranges! For the last 5 years I have had major swelling in my ankles. After following the program for 2-3 weeks my husband and I both noticed my ankles were no longer swollen at the end of the day even after sitting at a desk all day! I feel so much better! I have way more energy, I sleep better, my clothes are getting too big, I’m eating food I never thought I would and actually enjoy them, but the biggest change is that I no longer have any inflammation. Even after I eat a little real ice cream! This program is so easy and I get to eat the foods I love without feeling guilty or deprived.”

    – Kelley W.

    “A major “win” to report . . . . It was such a wonderful feeling to go for my annual physical this week and have my doctor say, “You are EXACTLY where you need to be! Keep doing what you’re doing.

    My weight was down 8 pounds putting me at a perfectly healthy weight/BMI. My cholesterol went from 216 to 186 with my LDL (bad cholesterol) lower and my HDL (healthy) higher. My triglycerides were also lower. My blood pressure was perfect as well. I’m so so grateful for this program and to Kara Swanson for her guidance and support.”

    – Myra D.

  • Yes, Stuck to Thriving is a qualified medical expense. Depending on your account, you my need a letter of medical necessity from your primary care primary care physician.

  • Believe it or not, there will never be a better time than right now. You will never feel ready.

    Either go for it now or don't go for it. Nothing good comes from waiting.

    Some of our most successful clients signed up while they were knee-deep raising 7 kids, working full time, moving, getting married, etc!

    Stuck to Thriving is designed in a way that allows you to go through the content at your own pace. It’s a step-by-step process so you aren’t changing everything at once, eliminating the overwhelm and ensuring you stay on track, which is one of the key reasons why women are so successful.

  • The truth is, when you choose to invest in Stuck to Thriving, you're deciding that you are no longer available to wait and wish and hope for the life of your dreams. You are choosing to be the hero of your story, instead of a victim. Right now, Stuck to Thriving is as cheap as it will ever be, and there is even an extended payment option. When you begin making decisions as if failure isn't an option, everything in your life will change.

  • I don’t but that’s actually one of the things the women in Stuck to Thriving appreciate most. Because If you show up to the calls, implement the Stuck to Thriving Framework, and send me your daily foods logs and don’t get results, I will extend your time in order to help you achieve your results. I'm just as bought into your success as you are!

  • I always recommend you just start. Remember this is step-by-step so you can easily incorporate the first few steps into your day no matter what is going on.

    There’s a reason you’re looking at this right now. If you wait, you probably won’t ever start. You’ll continue putting it off hoping to find the “perfect time”.

  • In Stuck to Thriving, I show the benefits of a high-fiber diet and how to easily incorporate this into your life so you get the maximum benefits (i.e. get rid of your inflammation so you can lose weight, improve gut health, have more energy, and eliminate pain).

    I actually never tell you, “you can never have x, y, or z again” – that only makes you want it more!

    Instead, when you eat to nourish your body you’ll see amazing changes in what you want to eat. I’m all about balance and making this sustainable for you.

    This is real life and I take that into account so you can still see results and thrive without feeling deprived.

  • No! I don’t push a bunch of supplements that you have to purchase monthly. I show you how to nourish your body with foods you can buy at the grocery store (I shop at Aldi and Target if that tells you anything!). The only supplement we do recommend is taking turmeric daily because of its powerful benefits. You can choose to purchase ours if you’d like but it’s not required.

  • You have access to everything immediately so you can get started right away.

 

Imagine your life…

pain-free, energy to excel through your day, no more bloating or digestive issues, and losing weight just using the food you get at the grocery store

… it’s just a click away.
