“I was running on adrenaline, and it finally wiped me out.”
By the age of 56, Jeanette had been on Prempro for five years, which had helped reduce her hot flashes, but caused her to gain weight and did nothing for her near-constant fatigue. She read about adrenal fatigue on our website and decided she needed more support. After starting the Personal Program her energy is back, her sleep has improved, and she’s dropped ten pounds!
Jeannette was taking HRT to reduce the hot flashes she was having daily, but the Prempro seemed to contribute to a 35-pound weight gain and did nothing for her sense of feeling “tired-and-wired” all the time.
“I was running on adrenaline, and it finally wiped me out.” An exhausting year that included a death in the family and starting a new business put Jeanette under enormous stress. By year’s end she was admitted to the hospital for chest pain. Tests came back normal, and doctors told her she was simply exhausted. “I now know it was total adrenal fatigue!” she told us.
Because of her family history (her mother had had ovarian cancer), Jeannette wanted to both reduce her stress and stop prescription hormone therapy ASAP, if possible. She wanted something natural and found our Personal Program on-line. She read about adrenal fatigue and realized the support her body needed was right here. She began taking the nutrients and slowly weaning off the Prempro.
While she didn’t notice much difference for the first few weeks, within a couple of months she was experiencing increased energy as her adrenals began to recover.
“I haven’t felt this good in years, and I’m a much happier person now. I sleep at night, my energy level is up, and my joint pain is gone.” She also joined Weight Watchers and began using the Personal Program Nutrition and Lifestyle Guidelines. She’s ecstatic to report, “I’ve dropped ten pounds so far!” As a menopausal woman with adrenal fatigue, stress, and weight gain, Jeannette found our Personal Program delivered on its promise to provide her body with the support it needed most.
