“Everyone Kept Saying It’s Just Menopause”
Jessica is a nurse. At almost 52 she was exhausted, aching and gaining weight, and every explanation stopped at her age.
The Symptoms Were Real. The Explanation Was Not.
Jessica came in with insomnia, joint pain, muscle pain, extreme fatigue, mood swings and anxiety. She was gaining weight despite no change in how she ate or exercised.
She is a nurse, so she is not easily talked out of her own observations. What she kept hearing was that she was almost 52, and that this is simply what that looks like.
She did not accept that, and she went looking for someone who would examine why it was happening rather than when it would pass.
Everyone kept saying “it’s just menopause.” I knew something wasn’t right.
In Jessica’s Own Words
What was happening before
“I’d wake up in the morning and I’d feel like an old person. My joints hurt, my feet hurt. And just gaining weight, and not seeing any results with changing, you know, exercising and whatnot.”
Why she pushed back
“Because I’m almost 52, everyone’s saying oh it’s just menopause, it’s just. But I was just like, there’s got to… this doesn’t seem right. So I was really concerned with what was going on with my body.”
What it was costing her
“I was just feeling so exhausted in the morning. Sometimes I was napping every day, or I would turn down opportunities to do things in the evening. I’m actually a nurse. I was exhausted all the time. And then when I started walking dogs, sometimes I just felt like the dogs were walking me.”
Whether she was skeptical
“Not really. The seminar was very informative, and everybody here just made me feel really relaxed. I’ve always been interested in pursuing avenues outside of modern medicine, so that was really intriguing.”
What changed
“I’ve lost a solid 17 pounds, I have energy, I’m sleeping through the night. People keep asking, what is going on with you? You’re glowing.”
