“Depression and adrenal fatigue responded to changes in my diet — I have more energy.”

Meredith had a history of depression, but her new husband was against depression pills, so she did some research on-line. She was so tired, and had started taking Zoloft many years ago, but wasn’t getting any better. In fact, she was getting more tired. She found our website and signed up for the newsletters. When she read an article on adrenal fatigue in the newsletter, that piqued her interest.

“My husband and I just got married and I was like, ‘Oh no!’ — I had fatigue, depression, and a very low sex drive. I could barely walk down the street and was sleeping all the time. I’d get up for an hour, and then nap for two. I was never really up to maximize the day.

“Within a month after starting the Program I started getting my energy back. I got off the Zoloft and haven’t needed it since. I started eating better food and taking Essential Nutrients and Herbal Equilibrium.

“I’ve changed my eating habits, too. I used to drink a ton of coffee. Now I drink green tea. I’m staying away from processed food and making sure I’m not eating sugar like I used to. I used to be a sweets fanatic. People don’t think their diet affects them. Junk food addicts have no idea what it’s doing to their system.

“I’m pretty careful with my diet and am even getting my husband on board, although sometimes he slips out to get a snack because he can’t handle it! I threw out all my old foods and just keep fresh veggies and fruits and healthy foods in the house now.

“My family could notice the difference almost immediately. I have more energy. I used to run ten miles when I was younger, so not being able to walk down the street without breathing heavily was difficult for me. I’ve started running again, which also helps improve my mood.

“I’m so much more focused at work. I even have an extra division that I’m responsible for. I couldn’t concentrate before. I’d get to the store and forget what I was supposed to pick up. That would happen every time — I’d have to call home to be reminded what to pick up. I thought I was losing my mind! I was like, ‘Does this happen with everyone as they get older?’ and I’m not even that old. Now I remember everything again.

“I’m able to get up in the morning and I don’t need any naps. I can work through the day, and everything is great. I’m much more outgoing because I have the energy and want to do stuff again. And, my sex drive is back, so my husband is perfectly happy with the Program!”
