“I’m 28 years old and happy again!”
After her last pregnancy, Martina was totally confused by her symptoms — mood swings, weight gain, hair loss and no sexual desire at all — and so frustrated when they persisted. After joining the Program and following our nutritional guidelines, she feels back to normal and wrote to tell us about it.
“I just wanted to tell you thank you! In July I started experiencing terrible symptoms. I was tired, had no libido, was suffering from hair loss, and I couldn’t drop those last ten pounds from my last pregnancy. I also would experience depression.
“After reading the book and the guidelines that you sent me with my Program my life has changed. I realize now that my eating habits were killing me. Since then, I have lost 15 lbs and I am a size 4 again. My moods are positive and I’m having great sex again.
“The fact that I was depleting my body of essential foods, eating high amounts of carbs and sugar and not taking any vitamins was making me very unhappy. I now take your multivitamin everyday plus hair nourishment vitamins. I eat protein and veggies at every meal. I cut out sugar and carbs, and I feel wonderful!
“I never would have known the cause of my symptoms if you guys had not helped me. So thank you! And one more thing: I went off birth control pills about three weeks ago. I now am aware it will take about six months for my body to regulate its hormones again, and I will probably have more hair shedding with that — but it is the best choice for me.
“I just can’t understand why we are advised to take synthetic hormones into our bodies when really our doctors should be talking to us about alternative natural methods like you do.
“Thankfully my husband is getting a vasectomy. I truly believe the Pill did terrible things to my state of mind and physical body. Never again will I put myself through that. Now I can say — I’m 28 and happy again!”
