Women’s stories
“This is the first thing that has really worked for me.”
For Justine, life felt overwhelming. Even the smallest thing seemed too big to tackle, and she knew if she went to her doctor she would be medicated with some kind of antidepressant. She was looking for natural help to get her through her perimenopausal symptoms and found Women to Women. Three months into the Personal Program, Justine has experienced lots of great changes. Here’s what she told us:
“Out of desperation, I sat at my laptop one night looking for help. I was feeling emotional — sometimes in tears, sometimes totally impatient. I was waking up soaked in sweat with night sweats and leg cramps. As a result, I felt completely exhausted. It was starting to affect my family and my relationship with my husband. It even got to the point where it was hard to get out of bed and take a shower in the morning.
“I’ve done a lot of reading on perimenopause and menopause and I knew that my symptoms weren’t abnormal. But I knew I needed to find a way to get through the process naturally. After doing a search on the internet, I was drawn to Women to Women. I think it was because your clinic had been in existence for so long and had been so successful.
“When I called and talked to a Member Advocate, I was impressed by the thoughtful questions she asked me and by how calming she was. Very shortly after starting the Personal Program, I felt like I could finally exhale. It was like, all of a sudden one day, I just felt better. The edge was gone. I was sleeping better. Instead of waking up six times a night, I now only get up twice. The leg cramps and night sweats have decreased and most importantly, I’m not feeling so overwhelmed.
“I have tried a lot of supplements and this is the first thing that has really worked for me. People around me are saying that I seem like my old self again! Aside from the help Women to Women has given me physically, I like that there is always someone to talk to, to ask questions of and to get reassurance from. You certainly can’t get that kind of accessibility from your doctor!”
