I am overjoyed…
Over the course of my life, I have lived in near constant stress with extremely high stress jobs, draining family circumstances, and an undernourishing support system. I’m one of those people who is used to just pushing through and getting it done and oftentimes, I just don’t expect other people to care about my issues or want to support me through tough times so I never asked. Like so many people who have my personality type, I probably have wounds related to times when I have asked and I’ve been severely let down and disappointed and I just learned to buck up and keep going without expecting much. Of course as I’ve grown I’ve learned to change my attitude about that and I am working on myself spiritually and allowing myself to open my heart a lot more. This change in attitude has brought great benefits to my life. In fact, this is the first time in my life where I haven’t been under nearly daily amounts of very high stress but living that way so long took a toll on me. I developed a goiter and hypothyroidism by the time I was only 26 years old and ultimately, after almost 20 years of trying to get it to shrink (under doctor’s care) it grew to the point of starting to block my airway, and I had to have it removed. Now that I am getting a regulated amount of thyroid hormone, I still have not been able to lose much weight and I still have moments of extreme anxiety. So I started to do some more research and adopted a ketogenic diet. I then researched further and discovered that some people who have symptoms of metabolic syndrome like I do, which includes estrogen dominance and insulin resistance/prediabetes, also can have high cortisol levels which can be exacerbated by a ketogenic diet. Who knew? All I can say is that I felt shattered to learn this as I deeply want to get healthy. But I knew something was off. On a ketogenic diet, most people report having almost no hunger. I had been feeling hungry and craving food all the time even while carefully tracking macros. I felt like I had reached my limit. I had tried everything and failed and was out of options. The only thing that doctors did for me was to put me on a high dose of Metformin and leave me there and that wasn’t helping much either. So after researching the effects of high cortisol and the ketogenic diet, I decided that it was worth sticking with the plan because of all the health benefits and the simplicity of eating whole foods and healthy fats. I’m at the point of wanting a lifestyle change and not another quick, fad diet. I didn’t want to give up the progress I had made in giving up a carb and sugar addiction.. I just needed a way to heal from adrenal fatigue. So, I decided to give this supplement a try. It’s only been a little over a week. Right away, I felt calmer the first day I took it. I don’t feel like I’m starving for food. I may still be overdoing it slightly on my caloric requirements but I’m nowhere near as ravenous as I was. This is a first for me after over a month of being on a ketogenic diet. I have found, maybe because my cortisol levels must have been very high, that I can take two of these pills. The recommended dosage on the back of the bottle is one pill per day and up to 2 if you are going undergoing a lot of stress. I’m currently not under extreme stress but I think I was suffering from extreme adrenal burnout for years and that my body is benefiting from taking two right now. I can take one in the daytime and it doesn’t make me drowsy at work. All it does is keep me calm. Then, I can take another at night and I sleep like a baby. I’m so grateful to Les labs for creating this supplement. It is helping me. I hope that the benefits are multiplied as I continue to take it and heal.

Sleep!!
Helps a lot with sleep!

They helped
These pills have definitely helped me to ease my mind and relax more for bed! They were recommended by a friend and I would also recommend them. I wouldn’t be 100% reliant upon them but they have helped.

Does as expected, and it’s fantastic
After taking this, I feel much more relaxed and able to sleep at night. It’s not like some chemical feeling, or edibles etc, but just more calm and able to sleep through the night as opposed to normally waking up every couple hours.

It’s okay
