First For Women

“I replaced my wardrobe—twice!”

-

Andrea Adams was happily chatting at a party when the conversati­on took a sour turn. “When are you due?” the acquaintan­ce asked, thinking Andrea was pregnant. “I tried to keep it together and not cry,” she recalls, “but her words stung.”

Andrea had struggled with health issues for years, including type 2 diabetes, back pain and acid reflux.“I was exhausted all the time, my hair was falling out and my memory was gone,” she recalls. The final straw came when Andrea noticed a rash on her face and lips. Her doctor ran a blood test, which was positive for candida overgrowth. And although she was given an Rx, it didn’t work. “I realized I had to change my diet to turn around my health.”

To kill the candida, Andrea added turmeric to two meals a day and took probiotics. She also cut sugar and added green leafy vegetables, garlic and coconut oil to her plate.

“I felt better almost immediatel­y, but then on day 5, I was achy and had intense cravings for pasta,” says Andrea. Knowing it was side effects of the “die-off” period, she took bentonite clay mixed with water at breakfast and dinner. “Within six days, the die-off symptoms were gone and I felt great.”

Over the next 12 months, Andrea shed

80 pounds and all her health concerns. “I feel amazing,” she cheers.

“I lost so much weight that I replaced my wardrobe twice.” Even better, her confidence grew tenfold. “I’m much happier and more at peace with myself!”
