Blue Zone Living Stories
Dr. Carolyn Langford, Urologic Surgeon, Founder of Bladder Life Balance and Co- Founder Blue Zone Living
At age 48 I weighed 252 lbs. and was entering menopause. My cholesterol was high, blood pressure was high, and I was a size 16. I was exhausted, mentally and physically. I avoided activities, photos and hated how I looked and felt. I was miserable. To make matters worse, I knew better after all, I am a doctor.
I tried everything...worked out 1- 2 hours a day 5-7 days a week with a trainer, balanced my hormones and thyroid, ate more chicken, broccoli and Greek yogurt than humanly tolerable. I did intermittent fasting and wrote down every morsel that went into my mouth. I never ate more than I burned. I ate 500 to 800 calories a day, multiple tiny meals, watched Macros, tried HCG, Contrave and Phentermine, ate Keto, tried a strict alkaline diet and had even tried being a vegan.
I had the goal of being my ideal weight and feeling healthy by 50. Despite all this work 50 came and went. I was 196 pounds and a size 12. I honestly couldn't think of one more thing to do and then I found Ozempic (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepitide). I paid $1,100 to $1,300 a month. I felt amazing. I dropped weight consistently and could not believe how easy it was in comparison.
By age 52, I weighed 136 lbs. and went from a size 12 to size 4 -6 and I feel AMAZING. I have maintained that weight, continue to improve my health and halved my cholesterol. I look and feel 15 years younger. I wish I found tirzepititde sooner because it would have saved time, money and frustration. I now use these tools to help hundreds of my patients of all ages achieve these goals and I want you to feel this way too!
Through my own journey and those of my current patients I have discovered the healthiest, fastest and easiest way for you to get there. Let me help you with your weight loss journey and like hundreds of my patients have seen reaching your weight and health goals is still possible no matter where you are starting.

January 2024 was the lowest point in my life at the highest weight in my 51 years. I was now heavier than I was at nine months pregnant with all three of my children. My husband lay in a coma from years of alcoholism and collective bad health habits. I called my lifelong childhood friend Dr. Carolyn Langford for medical advice and moral support. One of her suggestions was that I try weight loss injections as I diligently searched for different avenues of healthy healing for myself and my whole family. She shared her success story with the medications of semaglutide and tirzepatide. She was empowered by the weight loss and other health benefits she experienced. Inspired, I started on semaglutide right away anxious to step into a healthier lifestyle and to shed unwanted pounds. The weight loss was dramatic. I went from 249 pounds on January 31st and by my husband's release from intensive care on February 28th I had lost 33 pounds and 13 percent of my body weight was gone.
As I started my second month of injections in March another 19 pounds melted away. A total of 52 pounds lost and now lost 20 percent of my body weight.
As my husband became aware of his surroundings that month, he kept stating you are so skinny!
Flash forward to September, and I am at 168 pounds losing a total of 81 pounds approaching my goal weight of 145 pounds hopefully by the end of this year. I have lost over 32 percent of my body weight and gained a new lifestyle on the journey. My husband has started tirzepatide injections on his Blue Zone Living journey finding that it helps combat alcohol cravings and he no longer needs multiple diabetes, blood pressure, and heart medications. I have adopted many Blue Zone Living best practices this year that have helped me both personally and professionally. From managing my anxiety, exercise, and meditation routines, preparing better meals for my family, and improving my energy overall leading to better performance at work as a virtual corporate trainer.
My goal is to share these with our Blue Zone Living community. Whatever your specific health goals are from losing weight, or shedding medication with heavy side effects to bigger overall goals of taking control of your life and feeling good again in your own skin. Step into the blue zone and level up your health.

Needing back surgery after years of having a good time in my body. I love eating and deep sea fishing both had taken a toll on my health and I was unable to walk and bedridden. I weighted 315 pounds. My surgeon stated if I did not lose weight he would not perform the surgery as the weight would ruin his work. Motivated to walk again, I began my weight loss journey. Almost 100 pounds down in just over a year. I am walking, fishing and living my best life at the age 73 in the Villages, Florida.
