"I'm pain-free and so energized!”
First for Women|June 03, 2024
For decades, Jane Wooten, 68, fought fatigue, pain, GI issues & more. Then she discovered the diet change that restored her health!
"I'm pain-free and so energized!”

“Oh no, not something else to deal with,” sighed Jane when her doctor told her she had sleep apnea and needed to wear a CPAP machine to help her sleep. “It was one health problem after another,” she recalls. “They all left me with no energy, feeling like I had to push through things. I remember thinking, I feel so overwhelmed. What’s next?

Sick and tired all the time

“As a teen, I was diagnosed with psoriasis, and as I got older, it got worse. Over the years, I suffered from irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux, a racing heart and high blood pressure. Then the psoriasis developed into psoriatic arthritis and I had a lot of aches and pains. One day, it was my knee, the next day, my back. The next, my hands would be stiff. And the 35 extra pounds I was carrying didn’t help matters. More days than not, I was exhausted before I even got out of bed.

“I started using the CPAP soon after that doctor visit, but it didn’t help. I could not sleep with that thing. It was horrible and left me feeling even worse.

“About six months later, my husband had a routine procedure that led to sepsis, and he almost died. As he was recovering in the ICU, I looked at him and got really scared. Fortunately, I had not yet had a heart attack, I did not have cancer and I wasn’t yet deformed by the arthritis, but I felt like all that was in my future. I don’t want to end up in the ICU. I want to be healthy, I remember thinking.
