As a woman who has struggled with chronic health issues over the past 25 years or so, I found myself focusing most of my energy on getting through the work day, while other areas in my life were being neglected. I routinely found myself too exhausted for even simple pleasures like a walk in the park with my dog or staying awake for an evening movie with my kids. Ironically, even having early nights to bed never resulted in feeling rested and refreshed in the morning.

I have seen numerous doctors and specialists over the years, each prescribing a new medication designed to control my blood pressure, cholesterol, migraines, anemia, anxiety, chronic joint pain and low thyroid. Although I always followed any advise given by my physicians and took prescriptions as indicated, my symptoms only worsened over time. I remember thinking I would never feel any better than I currently did, and often blamed myself for being unable to turn my life around.

Then one day, I asked myself an important question—If all these 9 separate medications were doing what the doctors claimed they were, then why didn't I feel like a million bucks? That's when I started taking a more active role in reading and learning about how my body is designed to work in a healthy manner.

This past summer, I reached the milestone birthday of 50 years and took a detailed look at my quality of life and overall health. I made the decision that I would take back control over my health, and create the kind of life that is joyful and energized!

Vital Reds has been an important part of my new focus on health. With the guidance of a naturopathic doctor, I have made significant changes to my eating and overall lifestyle. In August 2016, I began adding one scoop of Vital Reds to my daily protein shake, and the results have been impressive. Within the first week, I noticed I was sleeping more soundly at night, and waking up feeling more rested than I had in years. Having more energy throughout the day has allowed me to enjoy evening walks 3 or 4 times during the work week, and I'm even able to stay up with my kids and watch a movie on weekends!

Although I have quite a ways to go in order to achieve my health goals, my progress over the past 2 months has been steady. My weight on August 1, 2016 was 296lbs. Exactly two months later, on October 1, 2016, my weight is 269lbs. My blood pressure has been in the range of normal since late August, and has recently been dipping into the optimal range of below 120/80. My family doctor has noted the improvements, and we are discussing a plan to decrease the dosages of my blood pressure medications (2 different medications) gradually over the next weeks. My hope is to be off one (if not both) of these medications before the end of the year.

It is my solid belief that, with knowledge and the right kind of support, I am able to create a healthy and energetic life for myself. I believe that Dr. Gundry's Vital Reds are an important nutritional tool that I am using now, and I intend to use this product into the future as well.

As to your "Bottom Line"—I have already recommended this product to several people and will continue to do so.
