Heather's Story

Hello Reader,

I'm always deeply moved when I hear from someone who has turned their life around after struggling with debilitating fatigue, chronic pain, and symptoms that once made simple daily tasks feel insurmountable. Today, I want to share the inspiring story of Heather Anderson, recently featured in First for Women, who overcame Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) — and credits her recovery to following the very protocol I’ve spent my life developing: S.H.I.N.E.®.

Heather, like so many others with CFS and POTS, faced an uphill battle. After her second child was born, her energy plummeted and strange symptoms took over. She couldn’t sit or stand without her heart rate soaring. Her body felt weak, and her brain fog made thinking clearly almost impossible. Doctors offered little help, and like many patients with CFS or POTS, she was told it was "just stress" or, sadly, brushed off entirely as though she was nuts.

But Heather didn't give up. She began doing her own research and stumbled upon my book, From Fatigued to Fantastic!, where she first encountered my S.H.I.N.E. Protocol.
