I had the very good fortune to meet Judy Evans in the late 1990s at the time of her discovery and subsequent adventures to make other women aware of natural progesterone cream. I was with her on several occasions when she was meeting Dr Lee or giving talks on the subject herself. Dr Lee’s knowledge and research led to Judy studying naturopathy for 5 years to qualify as a naturopath and medical herbalist.
As a younger woman, I suffered many side-effects after using the pill which I was informed would help rebalance my hormones at the time. I had a worsening of my migraines and became bloated all of which, I had learned at Judy’s talks, could have been prevented had I used natural progesterone instead of the pill. It is interesting to see how women respond when they also hear about natural progesterone with most asking, why don’t GPs know about this?
I think I was ripe for taking the alternative message on board having been hit by ME at the prime of my life, which I now know was due to an underactive thyroid. Whilst continuing to struggle on with my work as a period house restorer as well as being a young mother, I was constantly looking for answers as to why I felt so ill with what I thought was mainly ME.
I discovered it is a minefield out there with so many toxic chemicals in the environment which can affect our wellbeing in so many ways. With my own quest to find out what I could do to gain better health and with the continuing help and support of Judy Evans, I have improved immeasurably. I have changed my diet considerably mainly taking out refined sugar. I do Pilates 3 times a week which is an excellent form of exercise to gently strengthen the muscles while increasing flexibility. I have lost weight and am once again the size and shape I was when in my 20’s which I would have never believed could happen. I have never felt so well and happy.
I have all this thanks to Judy and I am so looking forward to her book which she is frequently encouraged to write.
