“My hot flashes are gone!”

Maria was told years ago that she was hypoglycemic, and advised to follow a low-fat diet. Unfortunately this only worsened her symptoms of perimenopause when the time came.

When we met her, Maria was 48 and living in Puerto Rico. She described her symptoms as “unbearable.” Her hot flashes and insomnia were very severe, and she had become exhausted. She’d also gone three months with no menstrual period. Her local gynecologist had given her a weak estradiol vaginal cream. When that failed to help, Maria went on-line and found our website. That’s when she joined the Personal Program.

Maria is one of those fortunate women for whom the Personal Program yielded improvement almost overnight. “As soon as I started, my hot flashes were gone!” She reported that her insomnia also quickly disappeared, and her menstrual periods came back on a regular monthly cycle.

Maria has dived into the Nutritional Guidelines and thinks they makes so much sense. Some of the changes have been hard, especially giving up her nightly wine, but she’s doing it one step at a time and already feels it’s helping.

We can tell Maria is devoted to the Program because she wants to place a bulk order to be sure she doesn’t run out! We’re happy to help in any way we can.
