“I was just unusually tired...”

I found the Personal Program through a friend who raved about it. Strangely enough, though clearly I’m old enough to be perimenopausal, it hadn’t clicked with me that the symptoms I had could be menopause. I thought I had the flu. As soon as my friend mentioned menopause though, a light bulb went off and I said, ‘Of course that’s what it is!’

“I had gotten to the point where even taking a shower was exhausting. It was the busiest time of the year for me at work; I was traveling on business a lot and I was just unusually tired — hot flashes, all that stuff. I was feeling so horrible that when my friend told me about the Personal Program I went on-line immediately and started.

“I started with one pack of the Essential Nutrients a day, as well as the hormonal support, and felt good within a few weeks. I could never remember to take my second dose of vitamins, though. In fact, I kept cancelling my shipments because I had too many. But, my major symptoms went away and did not come back, so I wasn’t all that concerned with getting the second dose.

“However, a few years later I realized that I needed to pay attention to my diet a little bit more. I’ve been overweight for years and decided I was tired of it. When I changed my diet, I felt compelled to take the Essential Nutrients as I should. Attitude is just so important for all kinds of reasons, but starting to eat properly and treat myself properly is a big thing for me.

“Once I started taking two packs of Essential Nutrients a day, the biggest change was my energy level. It went back to what I remember it to be when I was younger. And it has stayed there. It’s not just a flash in the pan. It’s been nice because I have an active job and to be without energy just doesn’t work for me. Lack of energy made my job harder and pulled me out of important things that I used to do. Now I feel I can.

“I don’t want to say it’s simple, because taking care of yourself requires some time and attention, but it certainly worked and I’m so glad. I didn’t have to do one of the more controversial things like HRT. Just when you think you’re hearing something good about HRT, you hear something horrible.

“People have remarked that I have more energy and that things are different now. I became brighter and shinier and have felt fabulous since I started with the second dose. I feel really strongly about what this has done for me. It’s pretty basic. I know it’s not a simple and basic thing for a lot people. We all have things that are going on in our lives, and it’s different for everyone. But if my story encourages anybody to try the Program and it works for them, I’d be happy as can be.”
