“Your article on adrenal fatigue sounded just like me!”
Here’s Andrea’s story as told to us in an e-mail:
“I am 67 years old and have been working in the real estate sales business
with my husband since 1998. We are busy and the business is very stressful and anxiety-ridden
in many ways.
“During the last six months of last year I was experiencing
extreme fatigue and had problems
sleeping. I kept myself going with coffee in the morning and Diet Cokes
during the day. After an extremely busy holiday season with the whole family staying
with us — grown-up kids and grandkids — I had crashed and burned.
“I had terrible, chronic back pain; I was not sleeping well, and felt a
depression I had not experienced since the birth of my last child some 40
years ago. To top it off, I had discontinued
HRT and was eating a very low-carbohydrate diet.
“I read your article on adrenal fatigue
on the Women to Women website and decided it sounded just like me! I joined the
Personal Program and started gobbling
up regular vitamins until your Essential Nutrients arrived in the mail.
“Within three days of starting your Essential Nutrients, the awful depression
lifted. I still felt lousy, but that is far better than being depressed! My husband
was very supportive and encouraged me to rest as much as possible. We both changed
our diet to include a balance of protein, complex carbohydrates (vegetables and
fruits with small amounts of brown rice), and good fats, including extra
omega–3 oils. I also started exercising alongside a videotape. When
I first began, I could hardly get through the warm-up section — very discouraging!
“As the weeks went by my strength improved and I continued to improve my health.
Now, after three months in the Personal Program I am remarkably better; I occasionally
have a day when I feel less than optimum, but generally there’s a great improvement.
“I am slimmer, still a very slow process for me, but coming along. My friends
and colleagues remark how good I am looking! Proof positive, I guess. I will continue
the process of taking care of myself: using the Essential Nutrients from Women to
Women, eating high-quality, frequent, small meals, exercising routinely, getting
proper rest, drinking more water, and no coffee or Cokes.
I feel and look 10 to 15 years younger than my chronological age — which most
of us want, I bet! Best of all, the nagging back discomfort I’ve experienced
for the last three years has disappeared. I would encourage any of you out there
to give the program a go. I fully intend to continue this super Program to get even
better!”
