The Hemp Connection + women's health

Your success stories are so inspiring!

We just received another success story. I believe that cyster-to-cyster encouragement goes a whole lot farther than anything we professionals could ever say to motivate, so here is a note from one of our fans.

I know how much you love success stories, so I'm happy to let you know of some progress that I've made in my health. Much of this is a result of implementing ideas from your blog and radio show, so I owe you a debt of gratitude:
- I just received some blood test results. My HDL is 69, my LDL is 67 (!), and my triglycerides are 44 (!!). (Thank you, fish oil!) Also, my glucose is 88, and my HbA1C is 5.2. (Thank you, metformin — hopefully someday I won't need you!)

- Since July 1, 2010, I have lost almost thirty pounds, with very few episodes of binge eating.

- I'm faithfully going to yoga every week, and I'm going to run a 5K series this spring — seven races!

- I started sleeping with a sleep mask, as unfortunately it's not feasible for me to sleep in complete darkness.

- I'm still trying to conceive, but am not without hope. My GYN is pushing me to use injectable gonadotropins, but deep down I strongly feel it's not the right path. Even if it means delaying having a baby at my advanced age (38), I'd rather continue to use natural means to try to improve my health first rather than resort to the extreme quick fix.

Each and every one of these letters is like a shot of adrenaline. Because it's not really how much information we put up here that matters, it's knowing it's being incorporated into lives and making a difference.

Thanks for keeping in touch!

(Hee hee, even though you've reinforced my reputation as the person who thinks fish oil is good for everything, it sounds like in this case it really was good for something!)
