I didn’t plan to stop taking Neeshi. Honestly, I thought I’d be fine without it for a little while.
It started when I traveled to Colombia. I had packed a jar of Dark Cacao Spread, but when I met another woman struggling with perimenopause symptoms, I gave it to her. I knew how much it could help her. Then I got home and was hit with food poisoning that left me unable to eat for nearly a week. Before I could get back into my rhythm, we left again for my daughter’s college orientation and family vacation in SoCal — and I forgot to bring it.
So, for the first time in years, I went an entire month without Neeshi.
At first, I didn’t notice much. For the first two weeks, I thought, maybe this won’t be so bad. But then my period came — and everything hit me at once.
The pain was brutal. I hadn’t felt cramps that intense in 3–4 years. My period was heavy, exhausting, and miserable. I couldn’t sleep. The night sweats were back. My body ached, my productivity plummeted, and I felt like I was moving through mud every single day. The cravings, the bloating, even the strange body smell — it was like I had been transported back to life before Neeshi.
And I had forgotten just how bad it used to be.
Before Neeshi, I lived with 8–10 day periods. Painful cramps that lasted for days. Hot flashes. Insomnia. Exhaustion that seeped into every part of my life. Being forced back into that reality — even for just a month — was heartbreaking. It reminded me exactly why I created Neeshi in the first place.
The moment my period hit, I thought: This. This is why I need Neeshi in my life.
When I finally started again, the shift was almost immediate. On the third night, I slept like a baby. My energy returned. The night sweats stopped. And just like that, I felt like me again.
It’s phenomenal to know that I created something that not only supports me, but thousands of other women going through the same struggles.
So if you’re exhausted, bloated, in pain, or just not feeling like yourself, I want to share what one of our long-time customers told me:
“What do you have to lose?”
Neeshi isn’t just a product sitting on a shelf. It’s daily nutritional support you can actually feel. Support that can help you sleep again, get through your period without misery, and feel more like yourself.
Because life is hard enough already — your hormones shouldn’t be what holds you back. 💜
