“Thrilled to life!”
Maureen, 45, had a total abdominal hysterectomy after struggling with devastating ovarian cysts. After the surgery she suffered from major anxiety and panic attacks. It was one of the lowest points of her life — so low that she was actually contemplating suicide. Here’s how she turned herself around:
“When I had my surgery, everything changed. I went from a 45-year-old woman who was still ovulating to overnight surgical menopause. Three days after I got home from the hospital I got a serious infection and was rushed back to the hospital, close to death. When the infection cleared up and I came home, things didn’t get any better. Not only was my hair falling out, but I went into a deep, deep depression. I was crying all the time, getting panic attacks and triple the amount of anxiety I’d ever felt before. I couldn’t remember things people were telling me. I would just sit there and stare into space.
“After I lost 65% of my hair, I got on the internet to find out more about what was going on. This is when I found Women to Women. The information on hair loss on your site was much more in-depth and informative than any of the other websites I looked at. I couldn’t believe it. I took your profile right away and realized I had severe hormonal imbalance.
“Now that I’ve started the Personal Program, I don’t want to ever go back. Your Essential Nutrients are amazing. My hair is growing back — from the root! It’s thick and shiny and vibrant. My nails and skin have changed. I used to be a high-maintenance woman — with acrylic nails, lots of make-up, everything! I’ve changed everything, including my diet after reading your Nutritional Guidelines.
“I can’t believe what a difference taking care of myself from the inside makes on the outside. The best thing is that I am happy. I don’t have thoughts of suicide. I’m calmer and have more patience. You can’t even get me to cry anymore! It has to be something really big for me to cry. I want to write a book on How to Detox the High-Maintenance Woman!
“We’re so concerned with how we look on the outside. It consumes us, but the truth is that you have to start within. Take care of your body, your spirit, your mind. All of this stuff we put on ourselves doesn’t help us with our root issues. I’m telling you I’m a new person. My family and friends tell me I’m glowing!
“What I like most about the Personal Program are the people. That’s number one. You can have the best product in the world, but if you don’t have people to support your customers it doesn’t matter. Women to Women is there for women. I’m thrilled to death — no, I mean, I’m thrilled to life!”
