“I had no one to talk to.”

Sallie loves having a big family and is devoted to her five kids, whom she homeschools. The stress on her is intense, but her health has been generally good and her periods have remained regular.

A little more than a year ago, she began to notice unwelcome changes in herself. The first were mood swings and irritability, which followed her menstrual cycle. She began to feel frustrated in her relationships, both with her husband and friends.

As the months passed Sallie developed a host of other perimenopause symptoms, including insomnia, bloating, cravings for sweets, and some urinary incontinence. Worst of all, was her total loss of libido. Even her skin changed.

Sallie had no one to talk to about her symptoms, and certainly had no idea they might have a common nutritional basis. But she found the Personal Program on the internet and decided to give it a try.

We spoke to Sallie recently after just a few weeks in the Program. “I am so excited about your Program and the help you are giving to us that I am sharing it with everyone!” she said. She’s already been through a menstrual cycle and noticed an immediate improvement in her mood swings and irritability. “I am going to send you my long list of all the ways I am feeling better.” Overall she feels stronger and more energetic. She said even her skin has returned to normal.

We were especially happy to hear Sallie say that our nurses had been so important for her. “Until now I had no one to talk to. Now I have someone to talk with when I need to.” That’s what we’re here for!
