“You can rely on feeling good!”
Ursula, 32, had been suffering from back pain and fatigue for three years. The back pain disturbed her sleep, her comfort, and even her sex life. She wasn’t expecting to get rid of the pain by starting the Personal Program, but she did. With more energy and no pain, she told us, her body feels like it did when she was a teenager!
“I’ve suffered from back pain since 2004. It’s funny, I can trace it back to a whale watch my husband and I went on. I got a terrible sunburn and the next day, I was reaching to get something and felt a dull shift in my lower back. I knew something was wrong, but after x-rays and tests the doctor didn’t know what it was. He gave me some strong medication that put me out flat for eight hours.
“I started waking up in the night from the pain. It hurt to get out of bed in the morning, and it hurt to have sex. I went to a chiropractor, who gave me some stretches to try and those made the pain bearable, but I still wasn't back to normal.
“I started Women to Women’s Personal Program on a whim, really. I’d heard good things and wanted to see for myself. Once I started your Essential Nutrients, I felt a difference immediately! The first thing was an increase in my energy. I’d gotten into the habit of taking naps in the afternoons and getting extra coffee — I hadn’t realized how fatigued I was — but I don’t need the naps or caffeine anymore. I’m eating a lot more healthfully too — more whole grains, more fish, and I realize I’m not as hungry as I used to be. There’s no fluctuation. It’s a steady stream of energy throughout the day.
“The best thing is that my back feels so much better! It’s like I’m not aware of my body at all these days. You know when you’re a teenager and you just don’t think about your body? That’s how I feel. I don’t have to worry about my husband wanting to have sex with me and then having to be in pain for a day. In fact, we’re having athletic sex again! I’m happier and he’s happier!
“The older I get, the more friends I notice are on medication. It’s mostly antidepressants and sleeping pills that I see. I don’t understand why you wouldn’t look for an alternative first when you’ll have to suffer side effects from these drugs. I always think of it like reaching back to that feeling of being a child when you get a good night’s sleep and a good dinner, you feel great in the morning. It’s about listening to what your body needs.
“The Essential Nutrients are not only good for my body, they’ve allowed me to achieve a real change without relying on anything unnatural. It’s the consistency I love — with the Essential Nutrients you can rely on feeling good!”
