Stress Center Peer Support

This might be a little late but the probiotics helped me. I have used Probiotics Eleven from Nature Sunshine and probiotics from Advanced Bionutritionals but those are bought through a healthcare professional. Medigenics has good ones but they are expensive. I started using those in the grocery stor...

Thanks Chris, I will continue to review the program, especially Lesson 14. I'm working on healing my gut, having a stool analysis next week and working with an herbalist and Dr. for adrenal fatigue. Had a great meeting with a friend who has similar type of anxiety/issues. Big help. All these things ...

I have gone through Lucinda's program twice and over came my IBS (diarrhea) and Anxiety Completely over 4 years ago!! :D However, a family issue has put me under stress for over a year and my IBS and anxiety has come back.

sonia0865, I hope you take shello's suggestion. You won't regret working with her. You are definitely alone! This is a great support group here and shello is willing to work with you.

mark167, Glad to see you are back. You have some great encouragement for kathy-koko. And NinjaFrodo has a great point... Try to focus on looking forward. Try not to compare what you have had in the past. Celebrate that you had 4 great months. Is there a reason to give your depression a number? I'm s...

kath koco,

Remember it will take time. Celebrate every little step. Compliment yourself, you have started the program. You will see positive changes. You deserve it. This is a great place to get encouragement.

wills, I'm not sure what you mean. The idea is not to use meds but get to the cause. Anxiety is a cause. However, it could be a hormonal imbalance or vitamin/nutrient deficiency. Addressing anxiety through Cognitive Behavior Therapy(ex. Lucinda's Stress, Anxiety, Depression program) is an excellent ...

HMC, With the IBS, the best place to start is to modify what you eat. Being tested for wheat or dairy allergies is a good next step. Adding fiber, including fruits and vegetables to your diet is another good step. However, finding ways to relax and change the anxious thinking are the key steps. Luci...
