Health on the Highway

Sandi Suter’s Calocurb Story

Sandi Suter’s small business is a lifeline for locals in her country community, but it’s also a handbrake on her health. Learn how Sandi has used Calocurb to avoid snacks on the road and drop 4 lb.

Daily Routine

My day starts early. There’s no time for sleep-ins when your team travels hundreds of miles across country communities in New Zealand’s South Island every day.

My companion transport service is crucial for many elderly folks in our region. Local transport options are limited and taxis often don’t provide the assistance our clients need. People rely on our service for medical appointments, errands around town, or simply getting friends together for an outing.

The business has even grown to include a “Travel Club”—bringing together old and new friends for trips to regional attractions and “memory tours” around town. We even make it all the way to Wellington for the annual Wearable Arts festival!

Challenges and Goals

I’m proud of what my team and I accomplish each day, but it’s not easy. With first pick-ups at 7 am (sometimes 6 am), quick team meetings, and a rushed breakfast, my day is always on the move. When I’m not orchestrating drivers, I’m out on the road with clients–often for hours at a time.

I’ve always considered myself active, healthy, and outgoing. I still do—I just don’t have time to be any of those!

At 54 years old, I’m about 22 lb over my ideal weight and concerned about the quality of food and lack of exercise that comes with my busy lifestyle. I know what a healthy lifestyle looks like; my challenge is finding the time to move more and avoid gas-station snacks and stress eating.

Journey with Calocurb

About a month ago, I took a chance and tried Calocurb. It wasn’t my first time with a supplement—I’d tried a prescribed stimulant years ago but couldn’t handle the jittery side effects.

I wasn’t looking for a magic bullet, and Calocurb isn’t one. Health takes work. But here I am—4 weeks later and 4 lb lighter!

I’ve been averaging a steady 1 lb per week, thanks to a bunch of small changes throughout the day. My usual lunchtime club sandwich has turned into a salad, and unhealthy snacking on the road is almost non-existent. Prepared snacks (carrot sticks & nuts) are now my go-to.

My prepared dinners from My Food Bag go further at dinner time, so I have leftovers for lunch the next day—something that never used to happen.

I’ve dropped weight before, but this time feels different. It’s incremental, sustainable, and feels like it will stick.

To be fair, I felt a bit off for the first few days with an upset stomach, but I’m glad I pushed through. Calocurb has given me breathing room to manage cravings and stay on track with my health goals.

Sandi’s Tips

  • Think first, eat later.
  • Prep simple snacks.
    • You don’t need fancy meal kits. Preparing road-friendly snacks (carrot sticks, nuts) makes it easier to resist sugary or salty temptations.
