“I had every symptom on the list!”

When Sofia first called, she was perimenopausal, with irregular periods and a host of other symptoms of hormonal imbalance. The most troublesome were her extreme irritability, depression and fuzzy thinking.

We spoke again about two months into her Program. It was clear Sofia was one of those women for whom the Essential Nutrients supply a missing link, because her improvement was so dramatic and immediate. All of her symptoms were much improved and many had disappeared. “I would never have believed I could feel so much better!” she said.

A few months later we called Sofia to see how she was doing. She said she was in extreme pain from a herniated disk and frustrated with her medical care. We discussed the need to stay on her Essential Nutrients and other steps to take care of herself during this period of severe stress on her body. She said she felt blessed that her perimenopausal symptoms had not returned.

Several weeks later we called and were sorry to hear that her news was much the same. She was going from specialist to specialist but finding no relief. Sofia was especially concerned about the amount of pain medications she needed.

One more month — and what a change! Sofia has now taken charge of her own care. She’s stopped all her pain medication and found a physical therapist who’s helping her get relief from the constant pain.

She told us, “The support from you women has really kept me going and allowed me to keep my head above water!” Of course, we can’t really take credit for all that. But we’re happy to have helped get rid of her perimenopausal symptoms. That’s given her the strength to deal with the rest.
