My Story/ Getting My Life Back
How I uncovered it wasn't all in my head...
but actually my hormones were out of balance even when everyone and even my blood tests said everything was "fine".

OR CONTINUE ON FOR THE FULL STORY...
Hey! My name is Erica Lengerich, and it's great to meet you.
If you are taking time to read this, it's probably because you stumbled across my story, resonated with my symptoms and want to know exactly how I healed my adrenal fatigue, balanced my hormones, and regained the desire to be present in my life again.
As a single mom of four, with three kids under the age of 10, life was tough. All I wanted was to run and grow my startup business. But the pressure and chaos were overwhelming. I reached a breaking point so severe that the cops had to get involved. I was convinced there was no reason to keep going.
My children, reflecting my own frustration, often said, "I hate you!" The house was filled with shouting, slamming doors, and a constant undercurrent of tension. The added noise and touch were unbearable; I was a mess.
Balancing all the plates. Can you relate to any of these symptoms?
- fatigue
- never waking feeling rested
- sleep disruption
- panic attacks
- brain fog
- overstimulated
- moods: anxious, sad, irritable
- gastrointestinal symptoms
- weight gain/ difficulty losing weight- especially the belly
- facial puffiness
- feeling "gray" or "blehhhh" or even almost numb
This became my everyday and I really thought it was how I was going to be living forever.
It wasn't until people started to talk about adrenal fatigue that I got curious. I was able to check off boxes on every list. I couldn't understand why nobody was talking about it.
I even visited my doctor and had normal routine bloodwork and we discussed how I was feeling and it was written off as normal and I was just stressed.
It's when I decided to take control and research if there was anything natural I could try. I knew how to feel bad- so I really had nothing to lose by trying to feel better.
That's when a friend said I needed to try what she had been seeing work for her...
Hello Happy Juice
Happy Juice isn't just a cute name, but a product by a company who is leading the industry in Mental Wellness, by targeting gut health, mental health, balancing hormones, helping with appropriate inflammatory response, increase energy, improving focus, eliminating anxiousness, and promoting stress resilience.
With a company that focuses on gut brain axis, they aren't just covering things up, they are getting to the root cause.
What is the science behind adrenal fatigue? The hormone cortisol. This hormone is designed to help us cope with stressful situations. When we deal with stress, our body pumps out cortisol to deal with it.
We aren't supposed to live in a chronic state of stress. Life happens, stress will come- but we aren't supposed to LIVE there. We are supposed to be able to manage it.
The good news, we don't have to manage it alone.
If you can calm your nervous system down and balance your cortisol, you will find yourself in a place of stress resilience and your symptoms will go away one by one. That is what the protocol is all about- helping your body feel calm, stress free, yet motivated and happy. Medication won't heal a wrecked nervous system, but if you never address the cause- you never are truly helping yourself.
Within the first week, my family started to notice a difference. By the end of the first month of this protocol which includes happy juice, mood supplement and a sleep supplement- ($10 off link below), I started to notice a big difference. By the end of 90 days, all of what I was struggling with was pretty much gone. I had more energy, my brain fog clearer, I was sleeping soundly and waking up refreshed, I wasn't reactive, and my feelings of overstimulation were gone.
This fueled the fire to share with others because if I didn't know what was happening- how many other women didn't know either. How many other women, were struggling with "normal" when the symptoms are actually not normal and there is hope!
My Supplement Protocol: Happy Juice + Mood + Sleep
The holistic and natural protocol I use contains:
- 3 powders (mentabiotics, edge, energy+)
- Mood + capsules
- Sleep+ capsules
The three powders get mixed together in water to form a delicious drink (I prefer grape + dragonfruit, as I find that is the best place to start with those who are in adrenal fatigue because it is sugar free and caffeine free)
The Mood+ capsules you take 2 in the morning, and you can take up to 4 more throughout the day depending upon how stressful your day is!
The Sleep+ capsules you take 2 about 30 minutes before bed.
Let's break down my protocol and explain in detail WHY these supplements help to provide the body with stress resilience, cortisol balance, eliminate panic attacks, increase energy & motivation, help with healthy inflammatory response and improve sleep quality. Keeping the body calm and improving your stress resilience is going to help your cortisol response to be normal and let your body heal and function as it should.
The best part? There are no side effects, no medication interactions, no artificial ingredients, no dyes, no toxins, no sugar, no stimulants, no caffeine, and no gluten.
