Women’s stories

“My life was falling apart”

When Toni first called us she said, “I need everything you are offering!” She’s a bright dynamic 46-year-old with a great sense of humor, but as she said, “For two years I’ve been suffering mentally, emotionally and physically. My life was falling apart!”

Toni’s symptoms showed up pretty much across the board. She was getting medical treatment for hyperthyroidism, but her other hormone tests came back within conventional norms, so her physician was at a loss as to how to help her. She had never taken hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

We had our first Nurse–Educator consultation with Toni about three weeks into her Program. She was on top of the world. “I am 80% better!” she said. “All my symptoms are improved, and my hot flashes are almost gone!”

Clearly Toni is one of those women for whom the Essential Nutrients supply some missing link, because only a minority of us see such dramatic improvement in the first few weeks. But we counseled Toni to keep going. We also coached her on the importance of adding exercise, the dietary changes and some stress relief, all on a schedule that felt right to her.

When we last spoke with Toni she was several months into her Program. She looked back on her prior suffering, and characteristically she felt sorriest for her husband, who she said was “a saint” through the worst of it. He is so impressed with her results that he’s taking the Essential Nutrients now, too. She admitted, “The price seemed like a lot of money at first, but it was well worth it. I’m the woman I knew ten years ago. I preach the website to everybody.”

Toni continues to be very active, working a night shift and keeping up with her grown children and grandchildren. She’s steadily making the other changes we recommend, and she can feel her body responding. She told us, “I was saved by Women to Women!” But it’s really her great attitude and love of life that have gotten her here. We just gave her the tools.

At 43, Belinda thought her digestive upset was just a part of life - then last year it got worse after she had underwent partial hysterectomy and began taking HRT. Doctors diagnosed IBS and left her with no medical options. She heard about vitamins on Oprah and found us on the web. What a difference! She wrote to tell us her story.
