“I couldn’t accept that my symptoms were a consequence of getting older”

Bridgette, 49, was at the bottom — both physically and mentally. Memory loss, hair loss, low energy, you name it. She went to her doctor for help and was told that her symptoms were a consequence of getting older. He wanted to put her on an antidepressant. Bridgette didn’t want to be on antidepressants, so she decided to do some research. She found the Women to Women web site, and many of the testimonials matched what she was going through. Bridgette signed up for the Person Program and now that the program is a part of her life, she feels great!

”When I first realized I had a hormonal imbalance, I was at the bottom. I was both physically and mentally run down. I was physically drained, having hot flashes all the time, and didn’t even want to get up in the morning. To top it off, I had severe memory loss and my hair was falling out! I really didn’t know what the problem was, so I went to my doctor. My doctor said my symptoms were a consequence of getting older. He recommended I go on an antidepressant. Now that I was getting older I was expected to feel older, but I didn’t want to accept that. So I started to research on the internet and found Women to Women.

”I was skeptical at first. I had never considered the fact that my hormones were so important to my physical well-being. But I put my skepticism aside and I ordered the Personal Program for Hormonal Imbalance. When I got the package, I was surprised that it wasn’t just vitamins. It was a whole lifestyle change. This intrigued me, so I started it faithfully. I changed the food I ate, I started bumping up my exercise, and taking the Essential Nutrients and Herbal Equilibrium daily.

”Before I started the Program, I had a bad habit of not eating. I would go a day and a half or two without eating at all. Once I started the Personal Program, I made it a priority to eat 3 times a day. With those meals, I would make sure to have some form of fruit, vegetable, and protein. It has becomes such a habit, a real part of my life. I don’t even realize I am doing it anymore.

”It was about one week into the Program when I noticed my hot flashes were decreasing. About three weeks into the Program, I really noticed a difference. My hot flashes were much less terrible and less frequent. Now I don’t have hot flashes at all! I wanted to get up in the morning and I wasn’t tired all day. I had more energy and my mind was functioning better because I wasn’t feeling so down. My hair had stopped falling out and was actually starting to grow! My memory took longest to get back, but it came back within 6 months of starting the Program. I really felt great!

”There is more out there than just getting older. I like the Personal Program’s approach because it’s natural and personal — it’s a whole package deal. I even gave my sister a two months supply for her birthday and she loves it!”
