"I truly felt like a hamster on
a wheel. I was just going,
going, going as fast as I could
and literally scurrying about
trying to keep enough momentum
to keep my head above water. I’d
go to work, come home, and do
nothing but lay down to keep the
energy to go back to work. I
felt completely and entirely
trapped in my life. I was so
stressed I wasn't able to make
decisions. I just went on sheer
momentum and felt like I had
nothing left to give. I was
truly near complete collapse and
very frightened because I was
aware of it but I didn't know
what to do to stop it.”
This was Susan Hodges before the Rhodaptin program. Describing herself as “a middle-aged newlywed with two young adult children,” Susan says that the pressures of a new relationship, combining families, her kids starting their lives, and a very stressful 60-70 hour-a-week job began to take its toll.
“I literally was at the point of physical and mental collapse. I was calling in sick to work a lot. I was very depressed, not sleeping, not eating, and then over-eating, gaining weight like there's no tomorrow. I was having panic attacks. I had aches and pains throughout my body. My body literally felt like it was falling apart. You name it…I was experiencing every symptom that Dr. Vern listed in his Rapid Stress Test. I truly felt like I was 46 years old and living in an 80 year old body,” says Susan. “I went to work and acted like everything was fine. I put the false front on because I was the boss. I was in charge, life was great, but I was dying inside. And I had no time or energy for friends or family. I didn't want to go out to dinner. I didn't want to have friends over. I completely isolated for about a year and a half.”
Susan had been going to another doctor and feeling increasingly disillusioned: “I'd been seeing my doctor on a regular basis and telling him, ‘I'm tired all the time. I don't feel well. I ache.’ I was telling him the myriad of symptoms that I was experiencing and really I felt like I was just getting a pat on the head. The attitude seemed to be—It’s all in your head, there's nothing really going on with you. A human being knows when they are not heard and I could tell I wasn't heard. And I would leave the doctor feeling more disillusioned and questioning myself.” Her experience with Dr. Vern was vastly different: “From the very first time I felt like I was heard, and I felt that there was hope.”
Susan took the Rapid Stress Test and scored a succession of 10’s—the highest and worst number. “On a couple of questions I remember him laughing because I put 25 and 100 down. Those were things where I felt so out of control in my life.”
About three weeks after starting the Rhodaptin program, Susan began to see some results: “I was sleeping a few more hours a night. I was starting to look at my life in a different way and see that I could make decisions and choices about things. Dr. Vern and I talked a lot about where my life was, the amount of work I did, how I internalized stress and what it was doing to me both physically and emotionally. Now I feel fantastic. I've lost 25 lbs. I sleep through the night. I no longer have to take anything for panic attacks because I don't have panic attacks. I am making better choices. I am connecting with my family. My relationship with my husband is much better. He has said that he has his wife back. My son thinks I'm much calmer. He doesn't have to tell me to quit freaking out all the time. And I know that my friends see a difference because I actually return their phone calls and invite them over. I'm entertaining. I'm connecting with friends. I'm much more a part of the world. The Rhodaptin Program is an absolute lifesaver literally and figuratively.”
Adds Susan: “Since I began the Rhodaptin Program, my life has changed so much for the better that I didn't even feel it was possible. I have more new-found energy than I can remember having since I was in my 20's. I don't have the aches and pains. I can get up in the morning and go all day. I have interest in things. I have the physical stamina to follow-through with ideas that I have. I'm just much more connected to myself and my place in this world. Dr. Vern has set this program up in such a way that you can literally follow it from Step A to Step B and he puts it out in such plain language that you can grasp why you're doing what you're doing. It's a program that makes sense and it's really easy for anyone to follow.
“It's just wild to be so enthusiastic about something. Never in my life did I think that you do something like this and it will actually change your life. If you follow his program, it really does work! The best thing about the Rhodaptin Program is that it has given me my life back.”
Note: When Susan re-took the rapid stress test she was amazed to see her scores of 10 had become 0's and 2's. |
