Hi, my name is Shane and I'm from Osoyoos, British Columbia, Canada.
I've been on Dr. Lam's nutritional coaching program now for almost a year, and I'm still
on it.
How I discovered this program was after the second time I ended up in emergency in the
hospital from having anxiety attacks.
I didn't know what was happening until the second time.
The doctor that I saw said that it sounded like you could be having panic attacks.
I wasn't sure I believed him because it felt like I was having heart attack or a stroke
or something along those lines.
So when I went home, I researched online and I came across anxiety attacks and Adrenal
Fatigue, which led me to Dr. Lam's website.
When I began to read through the website I was so relieved that it was finally making
sense what was happening to my body after all these years of having seemingly unrelated
symptoms that were all over the map, and the fact that I could actually do something about
it.
Before I started the program, I felt scared and lost and I made many trips to the my family
doctor.
And on more than one occasion left the doctor's office feeling defeated and upset because
my doctor would just say, "Well, you're fine."
And I was sent for a variety of different tests for different symptoms that I was having
which would always come back normal.
And I think she just thought that I was crazy after a while, and I even started to think
that maybe I was going crazy.
But I knew something was going on with my body.
I have been sent to a variety of specialists over the years as well.
One thing that was determined for sure is that I have high prolactin levels which is
the hormone your body produces when you're making breast milk which doesn't make sense
for me now, my daughter's almost ten years old.
So an endocrinologist, a hormone specialist, thought that it might be a growth, a microscopic
growth in my pituitary gland called a prolactinoma.
Which I did go for a CT scan and they didn't see anything there, but now I'm actually scheduled
to go for an MRI to look again.
Regardless of whether that is there or not it's nothing to worry about it's nothing really
serious.
And by Adrenal Fatigue, through this program, all these crazy symptoms that I was having
before have significantly improved.
Many of them have gone away completely.
And I'm now learning how all the glands in the body in the hormonal system are all interconnected
and related and work together and the hormonal system all works together.
I'm hoping that this will help resolve this issue as well.
But I'm feeling much better in general by helping my adrenal glands.
I've had considerable progress throughout the program.
I'll give you a list of symptoms that I had prior to starting the program that included
dizziness.
The same sort of symptoms I just mentioned to you like after I had my daughter; the dizziness
and feelings of blacking out and I was experiencing these again, along with the anxiety attacks
I told you about.
Also things like pressure in my head, pressure in my chest, pain in my chest, heart palpitations
which were determined by my doctor were PVCs or pre-ventricular contractions.
She had me wear a Holter monitor for 24 hours to discover what was going on.
Chest pains, unexplained pains in my limbs, in my arms, in my legs; almost felt like a
pain that went right into my bones, not a severe pain, but enough to make me worry.
Numbness and tingling in my hands and in my feet.
Depression as I mentioned I struggled with through my teens and into adulthood as well.
Moodiness.
And over the course of the program, most of these symptoms went away.
I now haven't had an anxiety attack in almost a year.
I very rarely have heart palpitations, the PVCs.
I don't have any of the other symptoms that I've just mentioned to you anymore.
And I feel happy which was foreign to me before in my life.
And is a huge added bonus to all these physical symptoms going away.
So part of my healing process was spiritual and personal and emotional.
Like I explained to you I learned to love myself.
And part of it definitely is physical, which Dr. Lam's nutritional coaching program has
helped me with in many ways.
And I'm starting to feel great.
I would recommend this program to anyone with Adrenal Fatigue on any level.
Something else I should mention is that they have never hesitated to give me more information.
If I had questions that my coach couldn't answer right away, she would just give me
information, any information that I needed.
"Yeah sure I'll upload that to your personal library!"
And this wealth of information has helped me put all the pieces of the puzzle together.
And it's very empowering and I'm so thankful and I believe everything happens for a reason
and finding this program definitely happened for a reason.
Along with all the poor decisions of my past to get me here, it's all part of what is meant
to be and I hope that this program will help many people, many more people.
Thank you so much for listening!
