It was 2 weeks after my final Endometriosis excision surgery in 2016.
I was at my favorite local health food store, sobbing to my friend Joey while he was cashing me out.
I had already been sobbing my eyes out to him about how awful I felt for thirty minutes in his store.
The bloating.
The cramping.
The pelvic and stabbing pain.
The GI pain.
The exhaustion and brain fog.
The inflammation that made my whole body feel like it was stuck in fight-or-flight.
There were days I couldn’t function.
Days when the pain controlled my mobility, my plans, my sleep, my entire life.
And on top of all of that, trying to find a doctor who would actually listen to me felt like another full-time job.
Joey listened.
Then he handed me a bottle.
For free.
I took it home.
I didn’t take one.
I took FIVE.
I didn’t care.
Those pills in the little brown bottles the doctors had given me weren’t working anyway.
So I took five and went to bed.
When I woke up…
It was like someone had turned off the pain lights.
And that bottle?
It was pure gold.
That was step one in the beginning of my transformation.
Not because one supplement was the answer to everything.
But because it opened my eyes to the possibility that there was more I could do for my body than simply manage my symptoms.
That one conversation with Joey changed the direction of my life.
And honestly?
It’s a big part of why I do what I do today.

P.S. Joey, if you ever read this… thank you for saving my life and for being such an amazing friend. 💛
