Women’s stories

Tammy’s story:
“My doctor was impressed.”

“I began following my Personal Program a year before my hysterectomy. Before that, I had terrible hot flashes, cramps, anxiety, and I was very nervous. I was having trouble sleeping and saw your advertisement late one night and thought ‘That’s for me!’

“I started your Personal Program. When I spoke with a Nurse–Educator at Women to Women, she suggested I take black cohosh, too. I followed her advice and within a week my symptoms settled down.

“When I had my hysterectomy I refused to go on estrogen therapy. I have a history of high cholesterol and high blood pressure, and I didn’t want to take any more risks. I decided to stay with the Personal Program, working with the Nurse–Educators over the phone, and I am so glad I did.

“It’s been a year since my operation and I feel so much better. I’ve had no HRT and I’m down to one packet of Essential Nutrients a day. If I ever have a problem or a symptom re-emerges, I call up one of the Nurse–Educators and she helps me adjust what I’m doing.

“I like the Program because it’s so flexible. You can personalize it to fit your needs. I told my doctor all about it and she was impressed. She’s been very supportive because she sees how well I am. The Personal Program was the best move I ever made.”

[Note: Tammy recounted her story to us on the two-year anniversary of starting her Personal Program.]
