Retired RN Resolves 15-Year Gut Issues and Regains 30s Energy Levels

Brenda Livers (00:00) through Laura's commitment to her work, it's incentive for me to invest entirely in my journey. She has been so great about educating and supporting people and empowering them on their own journey so that you're back in the driver's seat. And the best part of all, is waking up in the morning and feeling great and just like I did in my 30s. Hello, my name is Brenda Livers. I live here in Northern California, and I'm a retired RN of nearly 50 years in practice. And I came to Laura's program a year ago, this month in fact, when I came to the program, I was looking for answers, but before that, I had been dealing with gut issues for 15 years. This included IBS, SIBO, diverticulitis, and the symptoms were bloating and cramping and constipation, which ⁓ really impacted daily living. So that started my journey down the road of seeing functional medicine people and trying different treatments. And they helped for a bit, like a band-aid, but I wasn't getting long lasting results. So when I came to Laura's program, Restore Your Belly Health, immediately within a few weeks, I was feeling better. I actually was having bowel movements two or three times a day - yay! and I was having less bloating, less cramping, and just feeling so much better. And I found this really exciting. I had more energy so I was kind of feeling on top of the world. thought, yay, I fixed my gut. I'm sleeping better. Things were looking good. coming from the field of conventional medicine, I very much see how they have failed to really get to the root cause, and that was Laura's thing. Let's find out why you have these things, not just give you something to help that issue. Well, you know, with all my medical training and everything I had done over the years, I'd never seen any testing like this. It was very different. And it was so insightful. I mean, I was able to say, "wow, this is what's really going on inside. No wonder I'm having these issues." with the parasite protocol, I started with the full moon and not an awful lot happened, but I was going a lot more than I normally was. this next following month, I did the 5-day, which was intermediate level. Now I started to see some really different type of stools. and I was talking with Laura and she was like, "well that's mucoid plaque," and I'm like, "okay I don't think I'm gonna look any closer to see if there's anything else in there." but it's definitely moving stuff out And I would recommend the program to anybody who really wants to be serious about regaining their health. I feel more motivated than ever. And even though I'm so much better, this isn't a one-and-done thing. Your health journey is a continuum. And I know that I'm going to need to stay alert to anything that comes up, and to follow the protocols so that I can stay on the right path. My favorite Laurism is "perfection is not possible." And that just rang so true to me when I was taking notes, I would write that at the top of every page. It was okay just to continue on the journey. And I just admire her so. And she's right, perfection is not possible, but great health is. had I not found Laura, I'm sure I would be still going from practitioner to practitioner, an occasional test here or there, and trying to treat myself, And it wasn't working. So this was important, very important to me to get my life back.
