Life Changing Testimony

Lyme Disease | Anxiety | Postpartum Depression | Sinusitis | Low Energy | Child with Low Immune System

❌ Lyme Disease -- I've always thought of myself as an overall healthy person. I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease in 2013 and even though I went on antibiotics a month after contracting it (a whole month of being misdiagnosed by 4 different doctors), I would get headaches/migraines, joint pain, digestive issues, brain fog, and rashes after eating wheat. I took wheat out of my diet & my symptoms have overall subsided... But not 100%. I would continue to have low points of not being able to get out of bed and would wake up not knowing if I would have any of the issues I stated above for the day.

❌ Anxiety -- I wouldn't say I have had high anxiety throughout my life, but I noticed it more when I would be in larger social setting or when I overly worry/think about things. Fast forward to becoming a mom, I've never experienced anxiety like I have, especially having a son with medical issues his first 2 years of life.

❌ Postpartum Depression -- I am one of those who didn't realize I had postpartum depression until after the fact. After having my first son, I would be up at night finding myself crying when I was alone with him, having bad thoughts about something happening to my baby, & more sad and down than ever before. It wasn't until my son was 6 months that I looked back after having a conversation with my doctor and it hit me, I had postpartum depression. I was in complete denial. So, when I found out I was pregnant with my second son May 2018, my anxiety of having those feelings all came back. I was grateful I was more aware of it going forward into my next pregnancy.

❌ Sinusitis -- thanks Mom for the high cheek bones! 😆 For as long as I can remember, I go every fall & spring with a sinus infection. And every time, I load my body up with antibiotics. I have been diagnosed with sinusitis by my doctor & have been told I need surgery... Not happening.

❌ Low Energy -- two words: having kids. I thought I was an always tired person before having kids. But the energy level after you have kids is no joke. My first son wouldn't sleep through the night until he was over a year old & after he got tubes in his ears. So this momma has been sleep deprived like crazy!

❌ Child with a Low Immune System -- my first son was a BF baby until he was a year old. Even having the benefits from receiving breast milk, he still had 7 ear infections, sick & home from daycare every 3-4 weeks in 2017 alone. January 2018, he had ear tubes put in on a Monday, by Tuesday night he was lethargic and hard of breathing. We took him to the ER & was diagnosed with RSV & pneumonia. They transported him by ambulance to Children's Minneapolis. While laying on me in the ambulance, he had a febrile seizure. Just 2018 alone, he's had 3 febrile seizures, pneumonia 4x, and constantly sick with respiratory issues. He also suffers from allergies. (Cue mom's heightened anxiety). So, now he is on a nebulizer starting beginning of December 2018.

✨ I was introduced to Kyäni from one of my best friends fall of 2018. What sparked my interest most was that my son could benefit from it as well as myself. I only took Sunrise while pregnant, even then, I noticed my energy increased and felt like a better & more present mom. I also had low blood pressure from 24 weeks on & put as a fall risk. My blood pressure regulated after taking Sunrise. 🙌 Since being on TOH end of January 2019 (postpartum 2nd son), I've not had one headache or migraine, normal digestion, no joint pain, mental clarity, & no postpartum depression (this is HUGE for me)! In addition, little to no anxiety, no sinus issues this spring (so far), and my sleep is amazing!! Even with getting up with a newborn every 3-5 hours, I'm still able to go back to sleep easier and wake up feeling rested! 😀

My son has not been home sick with any respiratory issues & if he does get a bug, there's been no fever and minimal symptoms. I am so happy his depreciated immune system is finally getting the nutrients it needs to boost it.

I'm so thankful to my friend for introducing me to amazing healthy living nutritional supplements + charity company. I've enjoyed seeing what these products have done for not only my family but others I'm close with as well. I'm excited to see where it takes our family with less sickness & making more memories together as a family. ✨
