"Ever wondered if your vitamins are working? Too many people rely on
a multivitamin and self prescribed supplementation. And often
without much results. There is a better solution. Get a test to
identify what you are deficient in. This is where Twila can help.
Twila has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to issues of
detoxification and nutrition. She is current on the most effective
testing methods. If you want to know what your deficiencies are in
terms of minerals and vitamins, she can help you get the proper
tests and then recommend the proper solutions. I recommend her
services to many of my clients. She cuts through the confusion of
what is the right supplementation. She helped my husband when he was
trying to resolve a sleeping issue. |
Success Story

"Have you ever heard the phrase “you don’t know how bad you feel
until you start feeling better”? Well, I can tell you from
experience that it is the absolute truth.
I had battled not feeling myself, not sleeping and putting on weight
for over a year. I am in my early 40’s, have a good diet and
exercise (running and weight training) 4-5 days a week. I have a
good job and good home life. So what’s the problem?
I finally started putting the puzzle pieces together after I was
turned away from donating blood because my blood pressure was too
high (140/103). Because I have a family history of high blood
pressure I went to the doctor. However, I went to the wrong doctor,
an HMO practitioner. Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that HMO
doctors are inept, it’s just that they do not have the time to spend
with a patient to figure out what the issue really is. But that’s
another topic for another time. The HMO doctor put me on blood
pressure medicine as soon as he heard I had a family history. I
reluctantly took the pills, even though I was not convinced it was
the solution.
After two weeks of hair loss and achy muscles (side effects of the
BP medicine) I went back to the doctor. He gave me another pill and
I took it. One day at home, I went to get up from a sitting position
and the room when black for a second. It was at that point that I
knew high blood pressure was not the problem (the reading was 90/60)
but a symptom of another issue.
I sought out and found a doctor that actually has time to practice
medicine. After spending about 45 minutes with him and a couple of
tests it was determined that I had a cortisol imbalance. This
hormone should have a higher level in the morning, allowing you to
wake up and a lower level at night, allowing you to go to sleep. My
levels were reversed. That explains why I couldn’t sleep at night,
why it took everything I had to wake up in the morning, why I was so
exhausted and the weight gain.
This doctor referred me to Twila Johnson, who started me on a
detoxification program to flush toxins from the body. I also started
taking a natural supplement that helps regulate cortisol levels in
the body. I didn’t have to wait long for that good night’s sleep. It
was that one day when I woke up after sleeping about six hours that
I realized how good I felt. Since I was feeling bad for so long
feeling good felt strange. A few days later I was running and
instead of making myself get through the run, I felt like I didn’t
want to stop.
In our very hectic lives we tend to forget that we live in a toxic
environment. The food we eat is loaded with preservatives, grown
with pesticides and raised with hormones. Have you ever tried to
pronounce the ingredients in the packaged foods we eat? Let’s not
talk about the fast food arena! Taking a walk or run outside we are
breathing in exhaust fumes from car, trucks and buses. The water
from our faucets has bacteria in it. So what do we do? Run and hide
in a sterile plastic bubble? Absolutely not!
Start eating organic when possible, get a good water filter system
in your house and set up time with Twila to discuss how to rid your
body of a life time of built up toxins. Also, make sure you are
taking a good quality multi vitamin and other supplements that Twila
can also help you with. Twila has been a great help in assisting me
with getting my body back to where it should be, healthy and strong.
I can’t tell you how good I feel today!
