An unexpected source of strength.

Barbara lost her husband in an accident about a year ago. To add misery to her grief, she soon began to show classic symptoms of hormonal imbalance. Besides fatigue, insomnia, depression, and PMS, she developed chronic anxiety for the first time in her life.

Barbara recognized that her symptoms were related to her grieving, and accepted that there had to be a physical manifestation of what she was going through emotionally.

Fortunately she had the support of her friends, church members, and grown children. But after some months passed Barbara began to feel that her symptoms, especially the acute anxiety, were becoming intolerable. That’s when she began her research on the internet, and ultimately found and joined the Personal Program.

We first spoke with Barbara about six weeks after she started her Program. She reported she had felt almost immediate improvement, especially with her anxiety. Within just a few weeks she felt strong enough to begin getting out again, visiting friends, and even doing a little traveling.

We just spoke to her again today, just after the holidays, now seven months into her Program. The holidays had been difficult. But she said she was thankful for the Program. She takes her Essential Nutrients faithfully and believes it has helped her get through this time. We know the real strength is in her, of course. But we’re glad the Program provided the nutritional support her body needed.
