“I knew I needed help, and I wanted it to be all-natural.”

Millie, 50, has always taken good care of herself, but when she started fighting insomnia, fatigue and weight gain, she knew she needed to do something differently. She wanted an all-natural solution, which is what drew her to Women to Women. Now, not only is she hooked, but her husband won’t let her run out of our Essential Nutrients!

“I found Women to Women at just the right time! I was under tremendous stress from working ten hours a day and having a terminally ill mother. My biggest problems were insomnia and fatigue. I had trouble getting out of bed in the mornings and was literally dozing off after lunch every day. On top of that, I was getting two periods a month and unbearable headaches and breast pain.

“I knew that I wanted help, and I wanted it to be all-natural. I’ve always been this way. I work at a federal prison, and every sickness going around that place gets to me. In addition to that, my mother had diabetes, high blood pressure and a stroke that left her unable to speak. Watching her and my father live on so many medications made me realize I wanted to be different.

“I know lots of people who just accept their genes and assume they’re going to end up with the same problems their parents have. Well I refuse to let myself fall into that category. I’ve always taken vitamins and tried to find natural remedies. When I found Women to Women, I spoke to my husband about it before joining the Personal Program. He said, ‘You flip in and out of bed like a fish every night. If this’ll keep you in bed, asleep, get it!’ He gave me my first packet of Essential Nutrients and to this day he makes sure we are fully stocked!

“So I started the Essential Nutrients and began implementing your Nutritional Guidelines, and I have noticed a big change. I’m adding more protein and more vegetables to each meal. I can come home each night and make supper, exercise. My husband is a cowboy and he likes to take me cattle ranching. Now I have the energy to do these things with him. My whole outlook on life has changed!

“My co-workers joke with me now. They say, ‘We wish you’d lay off those pills. Now that you have more energy, you’re more of prankster.’ I brag all the time about Women to Women. And they just say, ‘If we look like you when we’re 50, we’ll be satisfied.’

“The Personal Program provides so much support. I love the consultations with your Nurse–Educators and love all the information available on your website. I have a girlfriend about to pull her hair out with depression and headaches. I keep telling her to get to that website!”
