Cherise Tricia Fung

I've experienced more than my share of tragedy, which has taught me to follow my passions-- geeky fandom, admin tactics, web production, pet parenting and partner dancing.

But you wouldn't know it because trouble sleeping, low energy, and really depressed moods shut me down during the winter months. It gets pretty serious, due to my physical response to the weather, lack of light and complicated grief. It usually means I "go radio silent" and vanish for one third of the year. It profoundly limited my life.

My friend Sayira, who I've known for 20 years, told me about this new nutritional cleansing program of hers; there was such confidence in her voice as she talked about starting to see her abs. She'd never sounded this pleased about her appearance, ever. I was always the skinny one wearing size four; I wanted what she had-- to be proud to show off my abs. Having more energy. Feeling so good about life and myself, I'd be glowing, like she was.

Since I started using the products, I've been feeling improvement in my mood and energy levels. In fact, when my use of the products got disrupted by delays, I could see a huge difference. My energy wilted like a plant starved for water. Those "wellness goodies" made it easier to ride out and bounce back from emotional upsets. Days instead of weeks. I'm more resilient and I don't have to give up my passions til spring arrives.

I like knowing that I have a safety net. That if I don't feel motivated to cook that I have quick, ready made, easy to grab alternatives that are also nutritious and that the health benefits will amplify and work together. That my body will age more gracefully, that my emotional downs will be softer, that I'll shed whatever environmental toxins are in there, and that I can get ripped and sleek too, if I just stick with it. That I can follow my heart's desire, even if it means being hell bent on wearing out my dance shoes, or the dance floor, whichever one comes first.
