FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HENDERSON, Nev., April 23, 2025 –– Wedding season is here, bringing with it celebration, joy, and a fresh wave of motivation to look and feel your best. Whether you're the one tying the knot, standing beside someone who is, or just showing up ready to dance, it's a perfect time to focus on your health and well-being—not just for the big day, but for life. That's why Nutrishop®, a nationwide nutritional supplement franchise known for personalized support and cutting-edge wellness products, teamed up with a real-life, soon-to-be-wed couple and some fitness pros to share seven strategies to help anyone get wedding ready—the healthy way.
A Fitness Journey Built for Two
With their wedding several months away, Ajay Vadukul and Shalini Agrawal knew they wanted to feel confident and healthy. After hitting a plateau in their solo efforts, they turned to their friend Alex Martinez—a certified personal trainer and Nutrishop ambassador—for support in January. As a wedding gift, he created a custom fitness plan using their apartment gym, guided them in tracking macros and boosting protein, and recommended key Nutrishop supplements like Pump Action, SuperMulti+, Omega 3, and Modern Source Plant-Based Protein.
"Some people get newlyweds a toaster...I get them confident and looking amazing for their photos," joked Martinez, who’s not only their trainer, but also a groomsman in their wedding.
The results? Despite juggling conflicting schedules and demanding careers in finance and medicine while planning a multi-day wedding celebration, the Los Angeles-based couple reached their goal weight (he lost 40 pounds, and she dropped 18) with a couple of weeks to spare. Beyond the number on the scale, however, they gained strength, muscle definition, confidence, and a deeper bond as a couple.
"We haven't felt this comfortable in our bodies since we started dating six years ago," the duo shared. "This has become a lifestyle, not just a quick fix for the wedding."
Expert Tips for Getting Wedding-Ready
Whether your big day is a year away or just around the corner, these fitness pros say it's never too early—or too late—to start feeling amazing in your own skin for wedding season or whatever you have on your schedule.
1. Don't Wait, Jump In!
The perfect time to start changing your habits is now. "Whether you are two years, two months, or two weeks away from your wedding, you will notice change and feel more confident," said Agrawal about her and her fiancé's fitness journey.
2. Start with a Plan.
Martinez, who owns Club Brutal in Brea, Calif., stressed the importance of hiring a qualified fitness professional. "We are not all the same," he said. "You want a good trainer who checks in, adapts to your needs, and actually cares."
3. Fuel Smart and Hydrate Often.
Madison Garcia of Nutrishop Chino Hills, Calif. suggested starting with clean, whole foods—think lean proteins, complex carbs, healthy fats, and plenty of veggies—and cutting back on processed sugars. Then, "hydrate like it's your job," she said. "Add electrolytes like Salthead by XP2 to your water and aim for at least half your body weight in ounces."
4. Move with a Purpose
"Mix strength training to tighten and tone with cardio to boost endurance," Garcia added. "Don't underestimate the power of walking, Pilates, or even dancing in your kitchen. Just keep your body moving 4–5 times a week!"
5. Use Supplements as Support
High-quality supplements can help fill in nutritional gaps, support metabolism, and boost energy along the way. Popular supplement stack options at Nutrishop include:
- Metabolic Heat Stack: Includes Mitoshape, Thermovex, and Lipotropic Heat to turn up the heat, support metabolism and boost energy.
- Cardio Burn Stack: Features Thermovex, Lipotropic, and Gamma Lean to aid thermogenesis and sweating it out during cardio sessions.
- Transformation Stack: Combines Hypercor, Detoxin, and Somnilean for round-the-clock metabolism and sleep support.
6. Prioritize Sleep and Stress Relief.
"Get good sleep and try not to let new stressors sneak into your life," says Mike Norcia, franchisee of Nutrishop Indio, Calif. "That'll slow down your results more than you realize."
7. Do It Together––Make It Fun.
When one healthy choice leads to another—like working out, eating better, and getting more sleep—you build momentum as a team, Martinez explained. “Enjoy the process as much as possible," he added. "Find those little wins that make you feel good, stay consistent, and you will hit your goal!"
Real Support. Real Results.
During their journey, Vadukul and Agrawal celebrated small victories like more energy, clothes fitting better, and stronger workouts. They said they were shocked to be eating more and still losing weight. Overall, they are ecstatic with their results and can't wait to see their wedding photos.
"We will have our wedding photos for the rest of our lives, and we wanted to be able to look back and feel proud. Now we can," Vadukul said. "We are so glad we took the leap, and it was especially helpful to have external support from Alex and Nutrishop."
