“People face tragedies every day, and maybe this can help them in some way.”
Caroline is a 51-year-old mother and schoolteacher who has been experiencing some perimenopausal symptoms over the past year. When her daughter, who began working with us early this year, told her about the Personal Program, her reaction was, “Hmm, I think I need that.” She’d been on the Program just a few months when her 21-year-old son suffered a tragic accident and died a few days later. The loss of one’s child is a parent’s worst nightmare, one that those who have not had this experience can barely begin to imagine. There is some small comfort in Caroline’s belief that the Program helped her.
“My daughter got me going on the Personal Program,” Caroline told us, “and I actually noticed a difference in the very first month. I just noticed a personality difference: I felt a little more calm, a little more in line. Not so much PMS.” For a schoolteacher, these can be crucial differences! “I knew I was perimenopausal or menopausal. I just felt better almost instantly.
“When my son’s accident happened, I got my period on the way to the hospital to visit him. It was huge. I bled for a week more than I usually do, and my daughter said it must have been cleansing.” Especially during perimenopause, personal stress can really affect a woman’s periods.
“Our son was in the hospital for four days on life support. I know his death disrupted my menstrual cycle and hormonal balance. I believe the extra nutrients were beneficial to me during this very stressful time. I’m so thankful to my daughter for recommending them to me.
“I’m very glad I was committed to this Program before I had this tragic event happen in my life. Prior to this I’ve never really been one to take many vitamins. I’ve always believed in omega-3’s, and maybe a Tylenol now and then, but I’m not a vitamin maniac. The Personal Program is convenient as the supplements are pre-packaged.
“People deal with personal challenges every day, and maybe sharing my experience can help in some way.”
