My hormones were so out of balance after having my surgery and being 45 years old.  I love Hertime because it's a natural product and has helped me feel human again! I feel more human than I ever have in a very long time and my cycles are more regular and less painful.

I take this because why not!  I've never really had an issue with my libido, but let me tell you what…….THIS PRODUCT IS AMAZING!  Let's just say it enhances what you already have, so if you think you are good this just makes it that much better!  I highly recommend it to everyone!

I've been using Nurafol for almsot 3 months and my hair is starting to get back to what it used to be.  I have tons and tons of new hair growth!

This tool creates blood stimulation that helps hair growth.  I use this every night before bed for about 2 minutes.  I wrap a hair tie around the claws so it doesn't get stuck in my hair, or you can put it in a plastic sandwich bag.

I lived off these for a long time before and after my surgery!  These are great for getting the recommended daily protein intake.  It tastes just like chocolate milk!

I love this protein powder!  It isn't chalky at all and it tastes amazing!  I have only mixed it with water, but it still tastes amazing and has a good texture!  My favorite flavor is chocolate peanut butter!

This link is if you are already a doTerra member.  This probiotic is the best one I've tried so far hands down. It's very important to take a probiotic after having bariatric surgery so you can make sure you absorb as much nutrition from the food as you can.

This link is if you are NOT a doTerra member.  After bariatric surgery you might have times when you have tummy issues.  I apply this around my belly button and it helps with constipation and just any upset stomach issues.
