Busy Mom went from Victim to Victor

Tears well up in my eyes just in calling to memory the progress I have made since choosing to go through the Empowered Woman program…LIFE CHANGING!!!!

I am a 37 year old wife and mother of two (ages 7 & 4).  I work 40+ hours a week as a project manager for an engineering company, pay the family bills, make most of the meals, get the kids off to school/daycare, do most of the household chores, etc. etc.

SDocument_C13080710021In a nutshell, from a very young age in an effort to be the perfect little Christian girl, I put everyone first, held them on a pedestal  and denied myself of any feelings (besides guilt, I felt guilty about everything). The need to overdo everything and be everything to everyone came from wanting to gain acceptance of others and God and if I was lucky or perfect enough, maybe even their love.  This led to a very unhealthy relationship with food.  I reached for food to numb me, which was comforting but only for a while. As one could imagine, the scale shot up and then began the self hatred and subsequent rounds of people pleasing…why would anyone like me for me; the fat worthless slob that I was?

In 2006 I had gastric bypass surgery and lost 110 pounds.  Sure, this fixed my weight but did not address the mental or spiritual aspects behind my weight struggles. I desperately tried to fill the emptiness that I still had by doing more and more “stuff” because that was all I knew to do, but it landed me in & out of the hospital with secondary anxiety and reactive hypoglycemia because of my poor food choices.

I seriously thought I was going to die.

I was maxed out and my body was finally manifesting physical signs in a desperate attempt to get me to slow down. I began taking steps to a more balanced diet to correct the hypoglycemic portion of the problem and then early in 2013 I attended a couple of seminars held by Jessica.  She talked about her Empowered Woman program and the body, mind, and soul connection.  I knew in the core of my being that I needed to be a part of her next group.

 

 

So, here I am, 14 weeks into the program; I have lost 12 pounds, I have not had any anxiety attacks, I feel as though I can breathe IMG_7625but most importantly I have finally learned to not only be ok with myself, but to actually love ME!!! Exactly how I am in this time. My relationships are being restored, and most importantly my relationship with my Heavenly Father. As I look back over my life I see His hand of mercy. Given the magnitude of my unhealthiness I could have landed just about anywhere but He led my choices and prepared me for this time; for complete healing. For the first time in years I am not searching for something to fill that deep void; I feel connected and at peace because I am acknowledging my feelings and needs. I am taking responsibility for where I am, not just taking the back seat and wondering how the heck I got here and blaming others on the way. I am putting into place healthy boundaries and trusting God.

Sure this could have happened regardless my choice to go through Jessica’s program but I truly believe that her program expedited the process and got me to think about things that could have otherwise taken years to arrive at. Each week she releases a section for the body, mind, and soul; the materials were easy to read and worked into my busy life. You will get out of it what you put into it, trust me!! What I love…Jessica is genuinely accessible and makes sure you get it, on a weekly basis with her group calls and personal check-ins!  She will laugh, cry, pray and work hard with you. I have never felt judged for what I didn’t know.  Her materials provide a solid foundation for taking the necessary steps towards a healthier you, in every aspect of your life…if you choose to do so.

For me, this choice changed my “victim mentality” into “victor mentality” and my life will never be the same.

I’m looking for 3 Women for a LIFE-CHANGING Opportunity…

Hey Ladies!!!

I am thrilled to announce that in only 12 DAYS from today I will be starting a new group in The Empowered Woman program!

The results women have seen throughout this 4-month journey have been more than I ever anticipated. My passion to educate and empower women around the globe is only continuing to grow. I feel incredibly blessed to be in a position where I can teach this foundational mind-body-soul health program from anywhere in the world and TO anyone in the world!

So, let’s get to the point, shall we?

I am looking for ONLY 3 MORE WOMEN to join me on August 12, 2013 to start this journey together, and YOU may be that perfect person. I know there are numerous women out there who are desperately looking and praying for a place where they can learn everything they need to know to reach the pinnacle of wellness. A place where they can explain all of their struggles, questions, fears, health ailments, and stressful life factors and have it all sorted out in a way that makes sense to them. THIS is what I do and what you will get within weeks of this program.

There are thousands of opinions out there when it comes to health, but only specific ones fit your body and it’s unique needs. In these 4 months together, you’ll learn all foundational elements that need to be addressed to keep you and your family running strong.

What Will I Learn In The Empowered Woman Program?

In Summary, here are a few topics that will be covered during these 17-weeks…

  • Key nutritional theories and strategies to fuel your body with exactly what it needs.
  • Instant energy boosters to keep busy women going strong.
  • How to easily and safely reach your goal weight and keep the unwanted pounds off…really!
  • Easy switches to feel sexy & confident in your own skin.
  • How to master your hormones no matter what phase of life you are in.
  • Heal & Bullet-proof your digestive system to ensure proper nutrient absorption.
  • Learn what environmental factors may be preventing you from ever getting well…and how to address them.
  • How to detox your body SAFELY & EFFECTIVELY! (DETOXING CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE MORE HARM THAN GOOD).
  • How to get to the ROOT cause of Depression, Anxiety, & other mental/emotional imbalances and heal it for good!
  • How to handle acute health situations for you and your kids (cold/flu, injuries, asthma, food poisoning, etc)
  • Importance of oral health and how you can take charge of your pearly whites from home!
  • Learn powerful tools against cancer, learn how cancer operates, and how to starve cancer cells.

As you know…this is MUCH MORE than a program only focusing on your physical body because as individuals we are much more complex. We will also be addressing areas such as…

  • The power of faith over fear
  • How to stress detox & tools to manage stressful situations
  • Restoring a positive outlook on life
  • The power of forgiveness
  • How to use life’s challenges in the most POWERFUL way.
  • How to let go of past struggles and trauma
  • Restoring and balancing your relationships
  • How to eliminate anger and restore peace in your life
  • And much more…

ALL FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME!!!

 

So, my question for you is…

-WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?-

Women of all walks of life have dramatically benefited from investing in this program for themselves. I have had successful entrepreneurs to stay at home moms connect together and support each other through this process. We all have needs and need support and guidance in one way or another to flourish and blossom into the best individual we were created to be.

Your family benefits.

Your career benefits.

Your relationships benefit.

YOU benefit.

______

This is where I come in.

I want to help you in any and all ways I can to ensure your success.

What people are saying…

“Tears well up in my eyes just in calling to memory the progress I have made since choosing to go through the Empowered Woman program…LIFE CHANGING!!!!” – Rashell, 37, CA

“I am so glad that I made the decision to join The Empowered Woman program. It makes perfect sense- healing of the mind, body, and soul all in one program; any program that just focuses on one aspect of our lives is lacking. I hadn’t realized it, but before I started the program, I had accepted that I was going to have to live the rest of my life in pain. I had basically given up on any hope that my symptoms and my quality of life could get better. I truly believed that things were as good as they were ever going to get. For over ten years, I have struggled with the chronic abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, and nutritional deficiencies that come with Crohn’s disease.  I have had multiple intestinal surgeries and had tried every medication out there that was available for inflammatory bowel disease. My senior year of high school my doctor decided to give me a double dose of an immuno-suppressive drug, and that is what finally put me into”remission” so I could finish high school and attend college.

Ever since then, my symptoms were tolerable enough so I could function, but I still suffered from chronic abdominal pain and all symptoms I previously suffered from, but in a milder version. Although I was taking extra doses of strong medication to try and treat my anemia, I became so iron deficient and anemic that I needed 2-units of blood to restore my body. Getting out of bed each morning felt like an impossible task some days, it was hard to accept that I would have to endure another day in pain. It was no help that coupled with my Crohn’s disease, I suffer from chronic and sometimes crippling anxiety and depression.

I met Jessica first in nursing school,  and I had been keeping my eye on her activities via Facebook since graduating.  Her Empowered Woman Program caught my eye, but I have to admit, I was quite skeptical at first. With each video and article that I read about her program, it just made more and more sense to me, and I knew I had to do it. Now, I can honestly say, after only 6 weeks in the program I have never regretted joining, and I am so overjoyed that I did it. She introduced me to the Sunrider foods, and they have already benefited me so much. My nausea has diminished, my energy has increased, my abdominal pain has decreased, and I look forward to each new day. Jessica is so approachable and has a genuine friendliness and care about her that makes it a joy to learn form her. I have already gained so much knowledge and wisdom from her about taking the best care of our bodies, and how to tap into the amazing sustenance that God continually offers us. Most importantly, Jessica has restored my hope. God is working through her to do amazing things, and though her and by His grace I was reminded that Jesus our Lord is our healer, and that even things that I thought were no longer possible are through Him.” – Stacey, 25, CA

SNEAK PEEK!- Get a NEW START Now!

Hey!

I am feeling SO BLESSED today to be in Sunny San Diego, my absolute favorite place in the world! The sun in shining, birds are chirping, people are smiling, and new beginnings are happening on the first day of this new month. March 1, 2013- There will never be another today and before you know it, it’s 4 months from now…where will you be?

Where will you be on July 4, 2013?

As we get closer to summer & bikini season, people are starting to get anxious, making new goals of new diets, new exercise programs, and new habits that unfortunately don’t usually stick. This is where I come in. I want to help you reach all your health goals and reach a new level of success & vitality that you may not even know is possible!

MONDAY, MARCH 4TH I will be starting the Empowered Woman program. This is a 4-month journey to maximized wellness for your mind, body, & soul and it is impacting women around the nation. How FUN it will be to celebrate the graduation of our program with fireworks on July 4th! It is VERY RARE to find a program that not only teaches you how to heal your body at a foundational level, but also teaches you important emotional wellness strategies such as stress management, what the inability to forgive others does to you (not the other person), and integrates Biblical principles throughout the entire program, leaving you feeling refreshed, nourished, and empowered to take on whatever comes your way in life.

I am ONLY accepting a handful of women into this program to ensure I can give 100% of me to each of you. Time is flying and before you know it the doors will be closed! To be completely honest, I’m not sure when I’ll be able to start another group for a while, so if this at all resonates with you, I STRONGLY urge you to jump in now. I promise, you will NOT regret it!

For more info, check out The Empowered Woman page here- http://jessicalopezrn.com/the-empowered-woman/.

Email me at Jessica@JessicaLopezRN.com to talk to me about your personal situation and see if this is the right fit for you! I can’t wait to get started!! Woohoo!!!

 

As a SPECIAL GIFT to you I am posting below a SPECIAL VIDEO that is for members only that I just released in Chapter 13 of The Empowered Woman. The Topic in our “Soul” Section was the Power of Choosing Faith Over Fear and features my studly handsome brother and his take on the topic. Check it out-

I am SUPER excited about this next group, I can feel the positive energy already from the women who have already signed up!

So, if YOU are looking for a way out of all your health issues…if you’re looking for someone who will hold your hand through the healing process….if you are ready to stop going for “quick fix” methods that don’t work and ready to heal your body, mind, & soul at a foundational level, then now is the time for you to take that leap of faith and….JUMP!

I am starting health assessments already for the next group! I cannot wait to get started and see a whole new group of results! It is the most rewarding thing in the world to see someone go from a health mess to a health MASTER!

If you have any questions, I would love to speak with you over the phone. Email me at Jessica@JessicaLopezRN.com so we can set up a time.

Hey Friends!

I just looked at the calendar and I cannot believe how time is FLYING! I am SO excited for what this month holds, there are tons of exciting things planned, ONE of the most exciting being the start of Group 2 of The Empowered Woman!!

To be honest, with my crazy schedule ahead, I’m not sure when another group after this will be starting again and I would HATE for you to miss out on this opportunity to be nourished to the core- mentally, physically, & spiritually. We are having way too much fun over here learning tools that can GREATLY impact your life and change the direction of your future!

I am NOT a sales person, I am NOT trying to manipulate or coax you into anything, I just want to get the word out to the right women who have been desperately searching for the answers to their health issues and who want to protect themselves and their families from becoming the next health statistic.

Do YOU Struggle With…

  • Hormonal Horrors such as infertility, PMS, hot flashes, PCOS, or endometriosis?

 

  • Digestive disasters such as bloating, indigestion, heartburn, constipation, gallbladder issues, or pain?

 

  • Chronic fatigue even to the point of being an autoimmune diagnosis?

 

  • Chronic inflammation and pain in certain areas of your body or just all over?

 

  • A weak immune system that has you feeling down in the dumps constantly?

 

  • Anxiety or depression that disables you from living a normal happy life?

 

  • Inability to handle stress due to chronic exposure to it?

 

  • Being COMPLETELY overwhelmed with all the information and opinions out there? You just want to know what’s right for you!

 

  • Inability to lose weight no matter what you do?

 

  • Mental or emotional barriers that you know are holding you back but you don’t know how to deal with them?

 

  • A lack of spiritual nourishment in your life?

________________________

These are just a few of the areas we cover in this comprehensive, uplifting, and effective women’s health program. I KNOW there are thousands if not millions of women out there who are looking for exactly what I have to offer in this life changing program. I’m not able to help everyone, but I am able to help YOU! Please contact me ASAP at Jessica@JessicaLopezRN.com to secure one of the final few spots left in this next group. I promise you won’t regret it!

I’m Looking for 3 Special Women for a Life-Changing Opportunity

Holla to the Ladies!!!

If you’ve been following my posts, you know that in December I launched The Empowered Woman program. I am currently in week 9 with these amazing women and have gotten incredible feedback. Here are just a couple things that are being said…

“I am so glad that I made the decision to join The Empowered Woman program. It makes perfect sense- healing of the mind, body, and soul all in one program; any program that just focuses on one aspect of our lives is lacking. I hadn’t realized it, but before I started the program, I had accepted that I was going to have to live the rest of my life in pain.

“I recommend without reservation the Empowered Woman program. It is packed with invaluable information. The information is helping me

lead a healthier life for me and my family. All the resources that Jessica provides are more than well worth the investment in the program. Jessica is an inspiration and is very uplifting. I encourage anyone thinking about it to do it and be EMPOWERED to reach the fullness we were all created to walk in, this is what the program is about.”

– Bianca, 31, Florida

 

______________________________

I have gotten a few requests to start a new group as soon as possible, so I am happy to say that I will be starting a NEW EMPOWERED WOMAN GROUP on Monday, February 11th! Woohoo!!!!! When I was first putting together this program and formulating the structure, I was aiming to have 15 women per group. Now that I have had time to reflect on our current group of 8, I am confident that in order to give you the best of me and all the resources you need and desire, I am going to limit the group size to 5-8 women only.

This being said, I only have 3 more available spots open for this truly life-changing program and I want YOU to be a part of it! This program is NOT for everyone, so I’d love to talk with you about your goals and where you are in your health journey to see if we are a good fit for eachother.

Last Chance for This *FREE* Amazing Event! Join 401,357 People!!

Hey Friends!

I just wanted to send two “last chance”reminders that I highly recommend taking action on…

First off, the 5th annual, 2013 Tapping World Summit starts in just 5 days, which means that this is your last chance to register for this 100% free online event before it starts.

I posted what some of the attendees from the previous 4 summits had to say about this event on the bottom of this post, so that you can see for yourself just how life-changing this event really is…

To register for this event right now just go here: REGISTER NOW FOR TAPPING WORLD SUMMIT 2013

Secondly, there is a phenomenal upgrade option for the 2013 Tapping World Summit,where you can own the recordings for the event in MP3 or CD format and also get the over 200 page workbook, the transcripts for the presentations and a number of powerful bonuses…

And this year, since there was such amazing feedback on the pre-event video series which featured Louise Hay, Dr. Mark Hyman, and Nick Ortner…

The producers of the event decided to make the three pre-event videos, along with the remaining 10 videos in the Tapping World Summit Video Series, available as a special pre-event bonus for all those who upgrade before the event starts on February 4th.

So this is a last chance reminder that if you want to own the entire 14 videos in the series, which include over 8 hours of streaming or downloadable video with experts Nick Ortner, Louise Hay, Dr. Mark Hyman, Kris Carr, Jack Canfield, Bob Proctor, Bruce Lipton, Cheryl Richardson, Joe Vitale, Dr. Joseph Mercola, Carol Look, Patricia Carrington, Carol Tuttle and Dawson Church, you need to make sure to take action right away.

The best part of this is that since there’s a 90-day money-back guarantee there is zero risk involved in upgrading today.

And if you do decide to ask for a refund (unlikely that you’ll want to once you listen to the information) then you’ll still get to keep the amazing video and audio bonuses.

To get more details on the event, the upgrade bonuses and the limited time pre-event video bonuses, just click on the link below:

Take me to the Upgrade Bonuses!!

(You’ll need to register first for the online live event, if you haven’t already, to see the video bonuses and the upgrade option) I hope you decide to take advantage of the limited time video bonuses and upgrade before the event starts.

The Tapping World Summit upgrade options alone are ridiculous values (the platinum upgrade comes with 23 CD’s, a 200 page workbook, transcripts, and 10 audio bonuses) and when you add on these great video bonuses, upgrading becomes a no brainer…

I WANT TO REGISTER NOW!

Just so you know, over 210,000 new people have already registered for this massive online event in the last  2 weeks!

EFT is a one-of-a-kind technique that creates life-altering results for those who use it…

Enjoy the event.  I look forward to seeing you there! 🙂

P.S. – Here is some of the feedback from previous year’s summits, just to give you an idea of what people think about this event…

“What a wonderful ten days!  I need to tap on
withdrawals from missing the interviews.
Jessica Ortner was a fabulous interviewer, asking just
what I wanted to know at the right time.”
-Suzanne Wright – Oregon,USA

“I hope you guys can somehow hear the
thunderous applause that is surely circling the
world for you right now.  This was a DYNAMITE
event, and this grand finale with Jessica today
was just fantastic. You guys are the absolute best,
you have given phenomenal gifts here with each
presentation, and may you receive a thousand
blessings in return. EFT has never come alive
for me the way you’ve made it do in these last
ten days. I am very, very grateful, and yes, I will
keep tapping and will tell you what lights come
on, what doors open in the coming months.”
~With much love, Natasha Suter – Ithaca, New York

“This trip has been amazing. I am so thankful
that you gave me the opportunity to be a part
of this, and I will continue to tap – and maybe
take an education in EFT later on.  Fantastic.
A few weeks ago I tapped on hip pain, and it
disappeared within a couple of minutes!!

Every session have been useful to me, and I
will look more into it (I have written it all down)
when I finish my education in September.
Jessica’s 40 day tapping challenge will be
done. Her “mystery bonus audio” was a
special experience.  It helped me see a lot of
experiences/feelings to tap on.”
~ Merete – Bodo, Norway

“OMG! That summit was amazing! I just
wanted to say thank you, thank you! I knew
about EFT from when I was in LA but I now
know so much more and I had ah-ha moments
almost everyday! especially the one series
about Highly Sensitive People – which I found
out I am and have been beating myself up
about it forever!  Now I know how to tap for
it and realize its a blessing to be so connected
to my feelings and intuition!

“I loved, loved, loved the whole series! you
are so kind to put all of this information out
there and for free- I know this is huge for me
and for the world! I can sense huge changes
a-brewing! I kinda miss it already! Tell Jessica
I am doing the 40 day challenge… this is exciting…
who knows where I will be in 40 days!
Thank you again!”

HEY YOU! Is THIS What You’ve Been Searching For?

Hey There!

January 11th is here, and most of those New Year’s Resolutions have faded by now, leaving many people hopeless, frustrated, and further away from their goals than ever. I want to speak to a very small group of women today who want more for themselves, more for their family, and more for their life! NOW is the time that you become all that you have set out to be.

NOW is the beginning of the rest of your life.

I have been given an opportunity and a mission to recruit women who want to be EMPOWERED against life’s challenges. I’m looking for a select number of women who are SICK of failure, SICK of feeling sick, SICK of feeling hopeless, and READY to do something about it! If this doesn’t resonate with you, you can stop reading this right now. If these words are pumping you up and getting you excited about what I have to say…then please keep reading.

Tomorrow, I will be starting the 7th week of my women’s health program called “The Empowered Woman”. Only 6 weeks into the program, I have never been more ecstatic about the vision the Lord has given me to empower the lives of other women around the world.

When I was sick and searching for any source of hope and relief I could get my hands on, I would always look for the testimonies and feedback section, because to me, that is where the real proof is of whether something is what it is advertised to be. So, today, I wanted to share some feedback from the wonderful ladies who are going through this program as we speak. They all come from different places, backgrounds, experiences, health conditions, and ages. Yet, somehow they have ALL found hope, inspiration, and passion to tell everyone else why they love what they’ve seen and why everyone needs to check this program out! Read for yourself…

“Jessica has an incredible calling on her life to empower women healing wholly from the inside out. Her program is created to connect the mind, body and soul for overall wellness. She has been a change agent in helping me take hold of my health on all levels; mentally, spiritually, and physically. The complete interconnected picture. Everyday we figure out something new and move forward to thriving like never before.” – Candace, 29, CA

“I am so glad that I made the decision to join The Empowered Woman program. It makes perfect sense- healing of the mind, body, and soul all in one program; any program that just focuses on one aspect of our lives is lacking. I hadn’t realized it, but before I started the program, I had accepted that I was going to have to live the rest of my life in pain. I had basically given up on any hope that my symptoms and my quality of life could get better. I truly believed that things were as good as they were ever going to get. For over ten years, I have struggled with the chronic abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, and nutritional deficiencies that come with Crohn’s disease.  I have had multiple intestinal surgeries and had tried every medication out there that was available for inflammatory bowel disease. My senior year of high school my doctor decided to give me a double dose of an immuno-suppressive drug, and that is what finally put me into”remission” so I could finish high school and attend college.

Ever since then, my symptoms were tolerable enough so I could function, but I still suffered from chronic abdominal pain and all symptoms I previously suffered from, but in a milder version. Although I was taking extra doses of strong medication to try and treat my anemia, I became so iron deficient and anemic that I needed 2-units of blood to restore my body. Getting out of bed each morning felt like an impossible task some days, it was hard to accept that I would have to endure another day in pain. It was no help that coupled with my Crohn’s disease, I suffer from chronic and sometimes crippling anxiety and depression.

I met Jessica first in nursing school,  and I had been keeping my eye on her activities via Facebook since graduating.  Her Empowered Woman Program caught my eye, but I have to admit, I was quite skeptical at first. With each video and article that I read about her program, it just made more and more sense to me, and I knew I had to do it. Now, I can honestly say, after only 6 weeks in the program I have never regretted joining, and I am so overjoyed that I did it. She introduced me to the Sunrider foods, and they have already benefited me so much. My nausea has diminished, my energy has increased, my abdominal pain has decreased, and I look forward to each new day. Jessica is so approachable and has a genuine friendliness and care about her that makes it a joy to learn form her. I have already gained so much knowledge and wisdom from her about taking the best care of our bodies, and how to tap into the amazing sustenance that God continually offers us. Most importantly, Jessica has restored my hope. God is working through her to do amazing things, and though her and by His grace I was reminded that Jesus our Lord is our healer, and that even things that I thought were no longer possible are through Him.” – Stacey, 25, CA

There are health programs and health coaches on every corner these days, each with their own style, own experience, and their own specialty. There are AMAZING people out there who are passionate about helping others with their health and getting them back on track. For many of you, my program will NOT be a good fit. But for a select few of you, THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR. For some of you, reading these words and testimonials is causing your heart to beat a little faster, your eyes to concentrate more intensely, sense of hope to fill your spirit, and maybe even a grin starting to form on your face…something within you is telling you that THIS is where your life begins….THIS is what you’ve been searching for, for so many years.

I can honestly tell you that the reason I am SO confident in this program and the material and the way it is formulated is because if you knew the way it all came together, you would know there is NO way I could have done it on my own. I truly believe this is a Divinely inspired journey that was created for a special group of women in the world who are ready to become Empowered against the 3-D’s-Disease, Depression, & the Devil!

“I started The Empowered Woman Program six-weeks ago and at that time I had just lost my husband to cancer. I was drinking a lot and on a large list of medications which are two things that had become very familiar for 40+ years. I was also eating anything that I wanted which wasn’t much, except some of the Sunrider foods my daughter started me on.  Now six-weeks later, I haven’t had any alcohol, I am off all medications, and eating more of a whole foods diet which includes no sugar, dairy, gluten, bread, canned food, or boxed food. I am trying everything Jessica suggests. The Empowered Women program has changed my whole way of eating, praying and living.
P.S. I have a new daughter and her name is Jessica Lopez.” – Pam, 65, CA

“Hi, my name is Gina and I am loving my “Empowered Women Group”! For years I have been doing a lot right, eating healthy, making morning smoothies etc. However, I feel like there is always room for improvement and growth and I am so very thankful for Jessica’s Empowered Woman program. I finally found the missing link my body was screaming for! REST!! Yep, mental and physical rest. No more guilt for napping, resting, or not going 100 miles per hour being everything to everyone. God did not create these amazing bodies for that.

The Chapters are super user friendly and easy to follow. And it’s great that it’s not too overwhelming for us busy women. Apart from mom and wife, I am a busy entrepreneur and am able to absorb and implement every chapter each week.  The fun, support and sharing on the private Facebook forum is so enjoyable!! I also found with my body and mind rested I am able to find more discipline in my eating choices and it is much more apparent that stress no longer rules my life, yeah and praise the Lord!!!

One of the missing links to most Health and Wellness programs is most forget to focus on healthy souls, minds, our thoughts, and everything that floods into our bodies with that. For me personally, I absolutely love that Jessica prays with us and for us before each phone conference and that there are great devotions and a whole section in each chapter on spiritual growth. I love the changes I see in Me!!! AND I have to say, the icing on the cake is the wonderful Gift package everyone receives at the beginning of The Empowered Woman Program! Jessica, thank you for devoting so much of your life and pouring so much passion into this program and into every person you meet.
Sincerely,
A New Empowered Women” – Gina, 47, CA

WHAT IS THE EMPOWERED WOMAN PROGRAM?

In a nutshell, The Empowered Woman Program is a 120-day journey where you will learn 17-weeks worth of essential material for WHOL-istic healing PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, & SPIRITUALLY all founded on Christian principles. Each week you receive easy to integrate material in 3-areas of health- Body, Mind, & Soul.

______________________________

WHAT IS AN EMPOWERED WOMAN?

The word “Empowered” means to give authority or power to someone to do something. An “Empowered Woman” is a woman who has been given the power and tools to live the life she was created to live, to fulfill the desires and passions of her heart, and to be the gift she was put on this earth to be. This will look different in each of us. Some are empowered to be the best mothers and impact their children to be the leaders of the next generation, some are empowered to be healers and doctors as they minister to others through their passion of their work, some are empowered to be teachers and to do it with all of their heart. No matter what your calling is, you can’t fulfill it if you are sick. We much too often see our friends and family incapable of living the life they have desired to live and to share the gifts they have been given because of an illness or a block mentally or emotionally that keeps them strapped down from the battle in their mind. The material in this program is designed to break those chains and tear down those barriers so you can feel free to live a life of freedom, to reach your maximum potential and enjoy every minute of your life at it’s fullest.

______________________________

WHAT DOES AN AVERAGE WEEK LOOK LIKE?

Each week, you will be given a PDF & Video on a topic in each 3 areas- Body. Mind. Soul.

On average, to get through all of the material per week, it will take you about 1- 1.5 hours to watch the 3 videos and read through the 3 documents, so it is not too overwhelming. Each video also has an mp3 audio you can download to put on your smartphone or ipod to listen to on the go if you don’t have time to sit and watch the video. I have designed the material and chapters in hopes that even the busiest of moms or entrepreneurial women won’t have a problem soaking in the information.

We have 1 conference call per week where anyone in the group can call in to ask any questions from the chapter that week. This way everyone learns from eachother’s questions and is able to get all of their questions answered by me personally.

Every other week each person also has the option to schedule a personal 1-on-1 check-in appointment with me to talk about any personal concerns, questions, or issues. This gives me a chance to offer extra help in any area you may need that is personalized to your situation.

WHY BODY, MIND, & SOUL HEALTH?

I’m SO glad you asked! 🙂 I have been through my fair share of health programs, read tons of books, and talked with thousands of people in their quest for optimal health. As powerful as some of these programs were, there was always something missing for me. No matter how healthy I ate, my mental/emotional health was a mess! This was creating multiple physiological problems for me. So even though I was eating healthier than any other person I knew, I was BEYOND FRUSTRATED because I was still sick and not getting the results I hoped for. MY MIND WAS CREATING CHAOS AND ILLNESS IN MY BODY. This was when I realized how important it was to teach these two together. I also believe that each and every one of us has a deep yearning to connect to a higher power. People all over the world attempt to do this in different ways, but we ALL have this desire within us. My relationship with Jesus has rocked my world and as the Creator of the human body, I couldn’t leave Him out when talking about how to HEAL the body! The truth is that not too long ago, I was very deep into the aspects of physical health and even mental health. I was immersed in it, surrounded by others who were immersed in it, but there was no room for spiritual nourishment in that place, and I always felt unfulfilled and incomplete. Then one day it all clicked for me. The Lord was calling me to create the program I so longed for my entire life…a program focused on healing people’s ailments, restoring hope, breaking barriers, and giving people the tools they needed to be all they were created to be.

Now, THAT is EMPOWERMENT.

Are You Tired of Being Tired?

Let´s see if this describes you at all….

6:00am- alarm goes off and is greeted with a puffy face and a slam to the snooze button. 5 minutes later your alarm screams at you once again and your growl and hit it once again. 15 minutes later you slowly sit up and rub your slightly open eyes and blindly walk into the bathroom and splash some water on your face to try to wake yourself up. You drag yourself into the shower and little by little you start coming to consciousness and wish you hadn’t had so much trouble sleeping the night before.

You throw on your clothes and by this time you are running late so you grab your things and rush out the door. On your way to work (or school) you anxiously rush through the drive-through and grab a venti caramel macchiato and a pastry or piece of fruit (if anything) to help wake you up before your day starts. You try to focus on your plan for the day but you feel ¨foggy¨and are unable to think clearly.

3pm comes around and you really crash, you need that mid-day pick me up and decide to reach for another large cup of coffee, soda, or energy drink to help you push through the rest of your work. For lunch (if you eat lunch at all), you eat it on the go or at your desk while you are multi-tasking. It is usually a microwave meal, maybe a combo meal from the nearest fast food restaurant, or a

 

compilation of snacks: a bag of trail mix( with salted nuts, dried fruit,&  chocolate),  diet coke, banana, a granola bar, and a ¨sugar-free¨ yogurt. Then its back to your crazy schedule as you struggle through the end of your day.

After work, you get home and unwind with a couple of sodas, beers, or a bottle of wine and decide you deserve to ¨treat¨yourself from your crazy day and you are too tired to cook, so you order pizza and for dessert you are craving sugar and nothing sounds better than a nice bowl of ice cream with your favorite toppings. 11pm rolls around and oddly enough, you can´t sleep! All day you were so tired, but your body won´t shut down now that it is time to sleep. You are feeling anxious and thoughts keep racing through your mind about the next day and all of the things you have to do. You finally drift away around 2am and the next morning it starts all over again.

————————————

 

So tell me…did that hit any trigger points with you?? Maybe you are a full-time mom and instead of rushing off to work, you are rushing off to feed the kids, take them to school, do the laundry, shopping, errands, pay the bills, then pick the kids back up, soccer practice, piano lessons, then back home to make dinner, clean up after dinner, play with the kids and struggle putting them to bed.

No matter what your role or job, the truth is that most Americans live a similar lifestyle to the one I just spelled out. This is why Adrenal Fatigue has been coined, ¨The 21st Century Stress Syndrome¨.

I want to tell you a little bit about our incredible adrenal glands, how they work, and why it is CRUCIAL to our health to take care of them and also teach our kids and family members to do the same.

What are the Adrenal Glands?


¨Ad¨-¨renal¨means over the kidneys, and that’s exactly where they are. We have 2 adrenal glands, one on top of each kidney the size of a walnut. There are 2 layers, the medulla (inner part) and the cortex (outer part).  These glands are a major part of the endocrine system (which is the system of the hormones)  and the sympathetic nervous system (or our bodies ¨fight or flight response¨). When many people hear the word, ¨hormones¨, they think of only women and the menstrual cycle. This  is a huge misconception as we all, both male and female, are full of hormones and the delicate balance of these hormones dictate our health in many different ways.

What Do the Adrenal Glands Do?


Being part of the endocrine system, these little glands are mighty warriors. You know when you get scared and all of a sudden your heart is pounding, your eyes dilate and you can run faster than you have ever run in your entire life? You can thank your little adrenal glands for this reaction. The outer Cortex secretes the crucial hormones, Cortisol, DHEA, Aldosterone, and small amounts of estrogen and testosterone. The inner medulla secretes epinephrine (aka adrenaline) and norepinephrine.

Cortisol is essential for balance in the body as it influences many different life systems including blood sugar, metabolism, immune response, inflammation response, blood pressure, heart contraction, and CNS (Central Nervous System) function. The adrenal glands increase their production of cortisol in response to stress. If cortisol levels are too low, the person has fatigue, low blood pressure, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), poor immune function, an increased tendency to allergies and environmental sensitivity and an inability to deal with stress.

DHEA is the most abundant hormone produced by the adrenal cortex. It is a very powerful precursor hormone for our sex hormones: estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Some refer to it as the ¨mother hormone¨. It is a naturally produced steroid hormone produced in the body that makes us feel good. It helps balance out the effects of cortisol and is imperative to hormonal balance throughout the body. When it is low, it throws the endocrine system off and affects the entire hormonal system.

Aldosterone helps to keep sodium and water balanced within the body. When off it can lead to water retention and swollen tissues.

Estrogen & Testosterone are produced in small amounts by the adrenal glands along with the testes and the ovaries. When the adrenals are weak, it throws these hormones out of balance as well which can lead to symptoms such as irregular or absent menstrual cycles, PMS, low sex drive, inability to lose weight, impotence in men, and infertility.

Epinephrine (adrenaline) is what gives us that rush of energy when we need it. This hormone quickens the pulse, strengthens the force of cardiac contractions, increases blood pressure, dilates pupils, stops digestion, opens airways in the lungs and redistributes blood flow to vital organs.

Norepinephrine is also helpful in stressful situations but is more beneficial for concentration and focus.

What is Adrenal Fatigue?

When the adrenal glands get used and abused for too long due to a prolonged stressful state , an acute super intense stressful event, or poor nutrition, the adrenal glands will become under active. The biggest marker of this is extreme fatigue that is unrelieved by sleep. The crazy thing is that many people don´t even realize they are fatigued because this state of low energy has become normal for them! This is NOT normal! There are different stages of adrenal fatigue ranging from functional fatigue throughout the day to one who is only able to get out of bed for a few hours a day. With each increment of decreased function of the adrenal glands, every bodily organ is affected. You may have poor digestion, decreased metabolism, weight gain, depression, decreased sex drive, fluid & electrolyte imbalance, and cardiovascular contraction issues.

What Causes Adrenal Fatigue?

As we saw, these glands are responsible for keeping the body balanced when stress occurs. If the body is constantly being stressed (it could be physical, mental, emotional, or psychological) the adrenal glands go into a state of constantly overproducing stress hormones. If the stress isn´t reduced, Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome or Adrenal Exhaustion will occur and you won´t be able to produce elevated cortisol when you need it! This causes an inability to deal with stress as well as a state of chronic fatigue.

A poor diet plays a huge role in strengthening or weakening the adrenal glands. These foods are detrimental to the adrenal glands: coffee, soda, diet soda, energy drinks, artificial sweeteners, processed foods, dirty dairy, gluten, and sugar (read labels!). These foods cause dietary stress. Gluten Sensitivity is a particularly damaging form of dietary stress that many people overlook.

Anything stimulating puts the body in a constant state of stress. We drink caffeine and sugar because we need a stimulant because we are tired, BUT, if we took care of our adrenal glands, we would not be tired in the first place.

 

What Are Some Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue?


  • You feel tired for no reason, constantly.
  • You have insomnia at night.
  • You have trouble getting up in the morning, even when you go to bed at a reasonable hour.
  • Chronic infections like UTI´s, frequent colds, or a frequent sore throat.
  • You are feeling rundown or overwhelmed.
  • You have difficulty bouncing back from stress or illness.
  • You crave salty and sweet snacks.
  • You feel more awake, alert and energetic after 6PM than you do all day.
  • You gain weight easily and have a hard time losing weight. Weight gain is especially in the middle section, and also in the back.
  • Depression & Anxiety
  • Irregular menstrual cycles, or no cycles at all
  • Hypothyroidism
  • Low sex drive
  • Insomnia
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Low hormones in general
  • Slow metabolism: weight gain, bloating, constipation, cold hands and feet, sluggish.
  • Symptoms of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome

 

How Do I Know if I Have Adrenal Fatigue?

Most medical doctors will not look into whether or not you have an adrenal gland problem, as most are not trained in adrenal fatigue. You will want to find a holistic practitioner, osteopathic doctor, chiropractor, or acupuncturist who will be able to look at your symptoms and offer you a saliva test which is much more accurate than a blood test in looking at the adrenal functions.

A major indicator of adrenal weakness is the fatigue issue as well as the above symptoms listed, so pay attention to your body and see what clicks with you. You can take a free self-assesment by clicking on this link: Adrenal Test

 

Now The Fun Part: THE SOLUTION!

This is my favorite part. We can talk all we want about a problem, but the best part is getting to the solution and learning how to get rid of the problem! There are TONS of companies recommending different supplements and products for adrenal fatigue, some good, some…not so good. I want to share with you what has worked for me after trying many different products and what has made the most sense to me after much research.

I´m going to get to the point and tell you what I believe is the absolute BEST thing you can do for your body, and that is starting to eat the Sunrider foods every day. You can read more about the foods on this site and contact me for more information- I have TONS of research from the months I spent investigating! 🙂 These foundational foods don´t only feed the adrenal glands, but strengthen the ENTIRE body, nourishing, balancing, and cleansing all parts of the body simultaneously. Follow this link to be directed to a sight where you can download two audio clips about sunrider and the adrenal glands!    http://www.4shared.com/dir/PArl5cGT/Adrenal_gland_and_sunrider_foo.html

When you take a supplement just for the adrenal glands, if it is a high quality supplement and is absorbed by the body (many are not absorbed by the body, which means you are swallowing hundreds of dollars that is going from your mouth to the toilet), then it will act to substitute for the adrenal glands. This may make you feel better at first, and for critical people may be life saving, but it will not necessarily strengthen the adrenal glands, it may only be substituting for the hormone that you are lacking. The Sunrider foods go straight to the source and feed your adrenal glands to strengthen them and help them return to optimal function causing a healthy balance of cortisol when it is needed and the reversal of all the symptoms that come with adrenal fatigue. It will also strengthen your related organs simultaneously such as your thyroid, pancreas, and reproductive glands as well as the entire endocrine system. I don´t know about you, but I would much rather feed my entire body with one food product rather than taking twenty different bottles of supplements of isolated products for each individual organ that might not even be absorbed! (Been there done that…)

Second, lets talk about diet. Someone with adrenal fatigue really needs to decrease any and all stress on the body, so eating healthy is not an option, it is a MUST if you want to feel better! What many don´t realize is that WHEN you eat is very critical as well. It is imperative to eat before 10.00am. The sooner the better upon waking and try to eat a protein breakfast to avoid a spike in blood sugar. You should also try to eat a snack every few hours to keep blood sugar stabilized. Here are some guidelines of what to eat…

Foods to avoid:

  • Caffeine found in: coffee, soda, chocolate, energy drinks
  • Sugar
  • Artificial sweeteners: aspartame, Splenda, saccharine, sucralose
  • Processed foods
  • Too much fruit (Stick to two or less a day and avoid eating them first thing in the morning to avoid blood sugar spike)
  • Dried fruit
  • Sugary foods
  • Food additives, preservatives, colorings, pesticides, artificial hormones
  • Alcohol
  • nicotine
  • Refined flours: white flours, white bread, white rice, white pasta, crackers, ect…
  • Fruit juices, sports drinks, any sugary drinks, even if they are natural sugars.
  • Gluten

 

Foods to Include & Great Alternatives

  • Lean protein: fish, organic chicken breast, lean grass-fed beef, bison, turkey breast (not the deli meat unless it is organic and nitrate free), organic eggs, raw high quality cheeses if you are not lactose intolerant.
  • Lots of veggies, especially greens! Include some in every meal and snacks, the more the better!
  • Sea vegetables are especially healing to the adrenal glands and the thyroid
  • Low sugar fruits: grapefruit, organic apples, organic berries, lemons & limes, kiwi, papaya, and pears (Again. Go LIGHT on fruit, and when you eat it make sure it is organic to avoid added chemicals and pesticides which can wreak havoc on the body and cause weight gain and increased stress.)
  • Legumes: homemade lentils, black beans, pinto beans, garbanzos, white beans, ect..
  • Gluten free products: pasta, brown rice, whole grain snacks, tortillas, blue corn baked tortilla chips, gluten-free crackers, almond crackers
  • Raw nuts and seeds
  • Raw Nut butters
  • Coconut milk
  • Almond cheese or Daiya vegan cheese (SO good! Look at your local health food store)
  • Swap out all salt for Celtic sea salt or Himalayan salt. This is VERY healing for the adrenals, don´t worry about cutting back.
  • Lots of water and herbal teas. Fortune Delight and Calli tea would be the best most healing beverages to work into every day.

Adrenal Recovery Soup

The following vegetable soup recipe has proved helpful in adrenal support. This high-energy soup, called “Taz,” comes from Dolores S. Downey’s “Balancing body chemistry with nutrition” seminars.

  • 16 oz. green beans
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup tomato juice
  • 1 cup spring water
  • 2 tbsp. raw honey
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • 1 cup organic chicken broth

Combine ingredients and simmer for one hour until vegetables are tender. Pepper to taste.

Along with diet, it is important to look at your lifestyle and see what changes can be made in order to decrease stress in your life. Something I really recommend is trying to do this breathing exercise throughout the day whenever you have time: breathe in for 4 counts, hold for 16 counts, and breathe out for 8 counts. Repeat a few times. Find what makes you happy and reduces stress and do it! You can´t afford not to.

One of the biggest challenges for me when I first discovered I had adrenal issues, was exercise. Not the problem of actually exercising, but making myself

slow down. A lifelong athlete, I loved to run and exercise daily, spending hours in the gym every day. Unfortunately, exercise can cause stress on the body as well when overdone. If someone has adrenal issues, they should be exercising for a max of 30 minutes a day and it should not be strenuous as this really taxes the adrenals. Don´t think I´m saying you shouldn´t exercise, light exercise is very healthy. Here are the BEST methods of exercise:

  • Rebounding on a mini trampoline (you would be AMAZED at the calories burned and health benefits!)
  • Walking
  • Pilates
  • Yoga
  • Toning exercises
  • Light elliptical
  • Stretching
  • Weights (not to the point of being super strenuous)
  • HIIT- High Intensity Interval Training* For those with early stages of adrenal fatigue

 

 

 

There you have it. I hope you are encouraged to take control of your health and get your life back. Sunrider has changed my life in so many ways including my adrenal fatigue. It is based on thousands of years of research, it is not a new fad, but a company with a solid foundation that has changed hundreds of thousands of lives over the years. I use these foods with all of my clients and all of my family and am SO thankful to have been introduced to them over three years ago. If you have any questions on Adrenal Fatigue, the Sunrider Foods, or if you would like support in your healing process and to join one of my health programs, you can contact me anytime at Jessica@JessicaAubreyRN.com. Have a wonderful day!!

In Health, Happiness, & Hope,

Jessica Aubrey, RN & Health Coach

I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God. Bend down and listen as I pray.
