“I haven’t felt this good in years.”
After a partial hysterectomy in her late 40’s, Betsy asked her doctor for the lowest-dose estradiol patch. She felt it helped with the hot flashes she experienced after her surgery, but she still suffered from fatigue, depression and loss of sexual desire.
Now 53, Betsy’s husband was getting worried — and so was she. Her symptoms were getting worse, but she didn’t want to try any additional hormones. She thought her mother had been overdosed on estrogen for years — only to suffer from hot flashes at the age of 72 while still on estrogen!
Her husband started searching on-line for information and ideas to help her and came across our website. Betsy read deeply for herself and agreed the Personal Program was worth trying.
Betsy told us, “After one month of my Personal Program, I extended my estradiol patch for two weeks and then I dropped it … and NO problem with hot flashes since — your program really made all the difference! I haven’t felt this good in years — despite taking vitamins regularly since I was a child. There is something different about what’s in your Essential Nutrients.”
She went on to tell us, “I was tired all the time and depressed more than I realized. Now all that has changed! As far as libido was concerned, I was dead. My husband really likes that I’m getting more interested already — and so do I. My bowels are more regular than ever, my sleep is great, my energy is up, and I have dropped 8-½ pounds in a couple months that just would not come off previously.”
Betsy is so pleased, she is trying to convince her mother to give the Program a try. Her husband decided to follow the dietary plan in the Program and try our Essential Nutrients, and after just two weeks he is feeling a big difference too!
Betsy plans to keep us informed as she continues the Essential Nutrients and Nutritional Guidelines long-term.
