This is us! Stew and Janine , your average busy Canadian Family raising 3 teenagers. We both have successful full time careers, both in Finance and Real Estate sector, and we somehow find time for our recreation activities and sports. Yes, this is fun for us, but at the same time, its essential for our mental well being, for both of us! Physical Health is extremely important, but if our minds are not healthy, it will take us down. For me, its a stress reliever and an outlet; I need to feel those endorphins pumping through my body! Stew is the same, accept, with an inherited lifelong battle of depression and anxiety, exercise just isn't enough. Depression is no stranger in his family, as they have suffered several losses from su***de. Stew has been a huge Mental Health Advocate in our city here in Barrie, and has helped so many families in crisis; he's been there, still battles, yet still wants to help others that feel the same darkness.
We were both introduced to this product called ME - Mental Essentials. Mostly brought to Stew's attention, knowing his past of battles and family history, but I also wanted to give it a try. For the last few years, my mental fog was getting so bad, I was struggling to accomplish my day to day tasks. I have a non-diagnosed ADD for SURE and it was getting worse. As a self employed professional, I can't afford lack of productivity. My sleeping at night was only happening when being accommodated with a bottle of red wine, just to force a shut down of my brain to get sleep, which became every-single-night. It then started becoming more frequent, where I would start earlier in the afternoon, and that was taking me down a dark rabbit hole.
After a few days of being on ME supplements we both noticed changes; after a week, additional changes, after a few weeks, we could not believe the results we were experiencing! Our Energy and mental clarity lasted all day, no crashing at 3 or 4 pm! I was accomplishing tasks around the house that I started and never came close to finishing. I re-arranged my office, cleaned it, and was accomplishing my daily tasks - and not just 10% of the list, but almost all of it! My head was clear, with vision, focus, and my memory was nailing things I would never normally remember! My sleep has improved significantly - I sleep like a baby, and wake up ready to rock, without the bottle of red wine. Here's the catch for me - I started these supplements days after experiencing a bad injury; which meant minimal mobility, not really walking and in an air cast which was supposed to be resting and elevated, ALL day. If I wasn't taking the ME supplements, my mental health would have crashed, very hard. I can't believe how well I got through the 2.5 months of no exercise and still being happy, driven, motivated, and a decrease in alcohol consumption (which would have sadly led to more when I get in that dark place). There have been so many other benefits of taking this supplement, which you will also come to experience. Stew is also having significant success with these supplements, aside from experiencing what I described, his calmness and mood has been the big game changer. Going to public events and not wanting to bail, and actually enjoying himself! He's happy, singing, blasting music like our house is a rock concert and his ability to focus and do tasks, its the first I've ever seen in him. Cleaning around the house, garage and basement clean outs (FYI this does NOT normally happen!).
So, now you can understand why we want to share this with everyone. There are so many other benefits not mentioned, but this would turn into a novel and....squirrel!
