“Marcus” came to me one year ago stating that he understood why people kill themselves because in his current state he just wanted “it to be over.” He wasn’t planning on harming himself but he wanted to die.

"Sherrie" was struggling with "depression and terrible anxiety" that she described as "unbearable" for over a year.  Her symptoms had gotten in the way of her living her life; she found it difficult to focus on everyday tasks. She woke up to morning anxiety and racing thoughts. Reaching goals and thinking about her future were impossible. 

"Carry" came to my office with very common symptoms. She had lost the joy in life and was tired all the time. Keeping up with her job was all she could do. 

When friends make plans, she hopes they will cancel. When her husband wants to go out, she makes excuses to avoid any activities.

"Sam" originally came to my office for severe depression. He fantasized about suicide but frankly did not have the energy to go through with it. 

She took a nap!

When my client told me this, I literally wanted to send her flowers.  For most of us, a nap is no big deal, holds no appeal, or is a regular part of life, but this lovely woman has severe insomnia and cannot catch up during the day because of her inability to take a nap. 

You might  love it or you might hate it, but I happen to love this smoothie that is part of Dr. Gundry's Plant Paradox three day cleanse.
