My journey began on August 24, 2023. Ladies, I was completely depleted of hormones—I knew it just from my symptoms.
Before joining this wonderful group of women on the Kiaora hormone program, I felt broken, depressed, and hopeless—a dark place I had never experienced before. As a fitness instructor, nothing I did seemed to help me maintain the shape and weight I'd kept through Trim Healthy Mama and Zumba. Just before turning 60, during my annual visit, my hope was crushed. I started gaining weight and developed a "hormone belly," reaching a weight I'd never seen—even during pregnancy with my children. For two years, my doctor offered no hope, simply saying it was a fact of life at my age. I wish she could see me now!
By November 1, I was squealing with excitement because I could feel such a difference in my overall well-being. My body was healing, and the hormones were building back up to keep me going strong. It's important to remember that we're all different and may not see the same results immediately—but don't ever give up.
By November 15, 2023, I noticed my belly shrinking. While others were excited about different "fun" results, I was thrilled about my shrinking belly. Please know I'm not vain—far from it—but I'm so grateful to Pearl, Serene, and Kiaora. I'm sleeping better than ever before; my depression is gone; my energy levels are high again; and I've gone from a tight size 10 to a size 5. Hope has been restored.
While my libido didn't return as quickly as it did for others, that's okay. Our journeys are unique, and our bodies react differently. All I know is that I've never felt this good or full of life and energy before starting hormone treatment. My hope has been restored as my body is being replenished with everything it needs.
