“More women need to learn about this!”
Josey started our first conversation by saying, “I haven’t felt normal since I got married and had children.” For years she’s felt constantly tired, ready to fall asleep right after lunch every day. Much of the time she felt morbidly depressed. She had other symptoms too — chronic headaches, neck and back tension, hair loss, and gradual, stubborn weight gain. “I was going crazy,” she said, “and everything was a blur.”
Josey was just 36 when she had her first hot flash, and remembered that her mother reported the same symptom at the same age. Determined not to suffer through ten years of hot flashes as her mother had, Josey went straight to her doctor to have her hormones tested. But the conventional tests came back in the range of “normal,” and her doctor offered no solutions. That’s when Josey got on the Internet and found the Personal Program.
Not surprisingly, Josey’s health didn’t turn around overnight. But the Program made sense of all that had been happening to her. “I realize now all of my symptoms stemmed from years of body abuse,” she told us. She had burned the candle at both ends, moving from Australia to the US, trying to raise kids in the daytime, working all night long at her home office when she was free, leaving little or no time to sleep, depending on junk food to survive with binges of low-fat dieting to control her weight — a real formula for hormonal imbalance.
After just a few weeks on her Program, Josey told us, “I just can’t believe it — I feel human again!” And after four months she was happy to say, “I’m doing surprisingly well. I’m very surprised — the Program works even better than I thought it would!” Almost all of her symptoms are remarkably better or gone completely: the headaches have disappeared, her depression “has lifted amazingly,” the hot flashes and insomnia are improving, and her weight loss is dramatic!
Josey says everyone notices the difference in her mood and appearance. In just the first month of her Personal Program, “I lost 6 pounds, decreased 9 inches, and lost body fat!” This was all the more remarkable because nothing had worked for her before. The women at her local Curves fitness center are just amazed. Josey is telling everyone she knows, and she has started her mom and sister on the Program too! “More women need to learn about this Program, this way of eating, because it can really help!”
