My Story

I woke up and looked at my phone. It was time to get up to take Adelaide to school. Part of me was dreading the time because I was so exhausted that I didn’t want to get out of my bed. The other part of me was relieved because I had tossed and turned and survived another night waiting for the sun to come up so I could say I did the thing. I went to bed and at least tried to sleep anyway. I forced myself up and had a pounding headache. I loaded all the kids up and got Adelaide to school, came home, gave the other 2 some breakfast, and laid on the couch. I kept the blinds closed because something in me liked that feeling of being tired and I didn’t want it to go away. I was comfortable in the dark, under a blanket, in my pjs, and nursing my headache. I was starving but didn’t want to eat because the thought of anything made me nauseous.

I drank my coffee hoping I would get punched with energy and motivation and just counted down to naptime. I snuggled my kids and watched movies because I wanted my girls to know they were getting the attention, but didn’t want to go outside or get on the floor and play with them. I felt heavy. I felt greasy and gross. I felt stiff. I had put on about an extra 35 lbs. I felt overwhelmed. I had about 25 things I needed to do but couldn’t bring myself to do any of them. After losing our first baby 6 years before and almost losing our newest little bundle and spending weeks in the hospital and months flat on my back eating a lot of quick meals and fast food and my hormones going crazy, I knew what was happening to me. I was struggling with PPD. But I did not want to admit it.

I had completely lost sense of who I was. I was stuck. I felt like getting through the day was the goal. By nature, I was a very happy person so I couldn’t figure out how the heck I let myself get here! I had zero motivation to change but cried every time I looked in the mirror. I didn’t even want to get close with my husband because if you don’t feel good about yourself, it’s hard to feel good about anything around you. And the stress I was feeling was a killer. We were always so great with our money and were always well ahead and thriving financially... but an unexpected turn of some events that past year set us WAAYYYYY back. We were drowning in medical bills and other expenses.

I knew gut health was the solution to my health issues. My chiropractor had mentioned it and I had been reading all about it, knowing it was the missing piece, but unmotivated to do anything about it so far. I had been watching my good friend, Emily, post about these supplements that were making all the difference for her. I knew a lot of the things she struggled with and now she was finding freedom from those things. I reluctantly reached out to her at a desperate attempt to find something that didn’t force me to get off my couch for more than 5 mins. You see... I didn’t WANT to change. But I knew I HAD to change for my kids. For my husband. For my own wellbeing. We didn’t have the money. But I spent it anyway. I knew where I was headed emotionally and physically if I didn’t try something.

To keep this long story somewhat short… A couple of months later, and I had ENERGY! I was sleeping through the night! I was playing with my kids. My curtains were open. I was dressed everyday. I was cooking full, fresh meals again. My house was clean and organized! I finally was able to shed the extra weight I had put on!

I actually have my life back and I just want to scream it from the mountaintops how doable, sustainable, and WORTH IT it is to just say YES to your health and wellness!

Plexus changed my life. It changed my family’s lives. I didn’t think it was possible in a little drink and a couple of capsules. But is has made ALL the difference.

Years later and still consistently taking the products that changed me, I remember how hopeless I felt then. I wish I could shake all my friends that have some of the same struggles and get them to take a chance! It really has changed everything!
