I was coming off adderall and anti depressants, and felt a disconnect between my body and spirit.  Through working with Vanessa, I feel like I have my spirit and energy back through nutrition and supplements. She gave me the confidence to make better choices for myself through care and a guided program.

The first day I walked in for my initial session, Vanessa’s raw strength and authenticity shined. Immediately, Vanessa helped me realize my problem wasn’t only my addiction to a drug but my relationship to food.

After taking Adderall for seven years, it turned into a crutch I was using to get me out of bed but I wasn’t truly living my life. It made everything feel numb. But working with Vanessa gave me hope. Vanessa helped me find a way to take control of my life again. She taught me that most things can’t be done alone. It’s okay to be vulnerable, lean on people and to ask for help.

I’ve dealt with my fair share of demons from attention deficit disorder, anxiety, OCD, and depression. I thought I could solve my problems with one magic pill. Whether you are looking to detach from a drug, learn more about better eating habits or be healthier than you’ve ever felt before, consider this a sign.

Vanessa’s insight to health, wellness, food and diet proves that she is the guru in this space. Thank you, Vanessa, from the bottom of my heart for all that you have done for me and continue to offer other people. You truly are one of a kind.

Not to sound corny, but Vanessa has been that person for all of mine. When I found out I was pregnant, that meant I had to throw away every single pill I had ever been prescribed. Adderall, Xanax, Ativan, Zoloft, you name it I was on it. During the duration of my pregnancy, I made a sound decision to never go back to those drugs, as I had finally realized while I was off of them, that I was better off. Those drugs had too much control over my life, and truly did nothing for me, but only hold me back. Before Vanessa, I never thought I was capable of coming off these drugs. I never thought there was a life for me free of pharmaceutical medications. I felt trapped in this lifestyle of self-medicating. Vanessa has many talents, and one of them is helping people detox, and live a life free of these toxic mind-controlling drugs. Instead, she taught me a more holistic lifestyle, including a whole food, real food, diet. She taught me through diet alone, my gut health would save my brain health. She also recommended I take whole-food supplements as an alternative to medication. Since working with Vanessa, I am able to function every single day without any medications. If I didn't know anything about Vanessa, I would think she was a Medical Doctor based on the amount of knowledge she has on the body alone.

Thank you, Vanessa, for being my superhero and helping me live my best life.

It would have taken me 4 hours and it would have been amazing. Thanks to Vanessa, I do not have to spend all of that time to let you know how much of a blessing she is in my life. I weigh less, am in better shape, go to the bathroom regularly, am in a healthy relationship, and my business is in full force. I was scared and nervous to go off this pill that I had been on for 20 years, but Vanessa kept me sane. This has been the best year of my life and I cannot wait to keep moving on without having to take a pill every morning. Never before have I ever felt more like myself. Thank you Vanessa, and I hope you continue your platform to help others take control of their own life.

I was having a hard time living a ‘normal’ life while on my meds and am so happy, 3 months later, still doing GREAT without them. I now use nutrition and certain supplements to fuel my body. I highly recommend Vanessa. Her vast array of knowledge is impressive!

Thank God the algorithm had your page come to me. All your tips of supplements to take was such a kick off for my passion of wellness. I never thought I could get off adderall seriously til I saw how you did it!!!! Thank you!!!! You changed my life 🫶🏽 also no one at that time shared how toxic and addictive it was, everyone was just glorifying it so it was just so incredible that you brought truth to what adderall actually is doing. I loved when u said how it changed your personality too and made you anxiously insecure, and shared relationship issues from it cause I felt like the only one!!! It was so eye opening and you are such a blessing!!!

My dad and step mom took me to three separae psychiatrists until one would diagnose me and prescribe me medication. They first tried to put me on anti-psychotics, my mom fought back, and they landed on adderall. I spent age 4-21 on it in some capacity. Until 14 I used it every day and then in hs and college when I came to learn it was something my peers valued I used it as a “quick fix” to study and to stay thin. When I was in college I got really into doing coke (with other drugs sprinkled in from time to time). I was taking adderall during the week, doing coke on the weekend and hardly eating in between. I quickly drove my life straight into the ground fall of 2020 and finally reached a place where I decided I’m done. After I graduated college I stopped taking it even sporadically. While I didn’t struggle to stop taking it on a physical level, my first year out of college was one of the darkest times of my life because the trauma I’d been numbing for so many years caught up with me. I’ve spent two and a half years fully changing my lifestyle, my habits, and realigning with my values, and I can acknowledge I have such a long way to go. Adderall, for me, hijacked my dopamine at such an early age that I constantly find my brain seeking these huge highs and have hip-hopped from one coping mechanism to another (phone, sugar, food, tv, dating) in search of it. I’m healing, and am slowly but surely creating a life I’m proud of, but if it weren’t for this drug I truly don’t think I would’ve driven my life down such a hard path. I was a small child that felt things deeply and I truly believe I never should’ve been prescribed. I’m so grateful to have come off of it and believe NO-ONE on earth needs to be prescribed. If I can come off of it anyone can and I’m sharing my story because if it helps one person, it was worth it. 🤍

I knew I would eventually have to come off but it was my dirty little secret and filled with so much shame and embarrassment. I felt so alone and isolated in my dis-ease with no resources to help me get off this awful drug. I found your ig which gave me the courage to slowly wean off, educate myself on natural alternatives and ultimately give me the strength and confidence I needed to kick this awful habit. While it sucked so bad and was some of my most difficult days it was SOOOO worth it and I couldn’t be happier with the decision. I felt so empowered, strong and trusted my body to do what it needed to do to regulate and get back to baseline without garbage Pharma. Thank you!! Yay!!

I was in a very isolated phase of life at that time. I didn’t know anybody else on Adderall. I did a Google search multiple times, and had a hard time finding anyone’s journey through detoxing that made sense and wasn’t, for lack of a better word, weird. I stumbled across I believe your interview with Melissa would Health via Google search and then I believe that prompted me to google your names specifically and pull up your videos. It was a bit disjointed, I remember and I remember, wishing that they were  like I was missing days. But I am very distinctly remember the look on your face when you would wake up in the morning, or those 3:30 PM videos you would post when you wanted nothing more than to desperately pop some Adderall, and I knew that face well, and I knew that feeling well.I said to myself, if this woman can do it, so can I. I didn’t begin at that time, but you gave me the hope and knowledge that to know that one day I could quit when I was ready. I found out I had gotten pregnant, which was all I ever wanted and it was a no-brainer at that point. I did a slow taper on my own and never looked back.

Another very relatable statement you had made was when you commented that you found yourself walking around with little pieces of blue pills lining the bottom of your purse. And that was me. And I remembered that hearing somebody else put a name to it almost made me ashamed.

I couldnt find your orignal videos that you posted on youtube about your experience but I took away the biggest lesson from you doing that. Vulnerability and not doing it alone. It took me a long time to quit adderall / stimulants forever and the only way I was able to was by telling my family members and close friends because just like you I couldn’t do it alone. If it wasn’t for you I may have never had the courage to tell them. I seriously thought for the longest time that I was the only person in the world who had gotten themselves hooked on this drug. I also listened to every podcast you had ever been a guest on. Your story and advice helped me immensely. I even became a patient of dr Beth. You steered me to allow myself to rest, cook my own food, listen to classical music, stopped going to barrys lol and finally had hope that I could live and function without adderall. Thank you ❤️

 I listened to all of your podcast episodes and you were such an inspiration. I knew it would be hard but I wanted change. Change in my relationships and simply to find NATURAL JOY. I’m still suffering from fatigue but I know the withdrawal effects will subside and it will be SO WORTH IT in the long run. Thank you Vanessa

I took it nearly for ten years thinking it was harmless, help me get through school, keep a job, etc. While maintaining those things, I was miserable, in terrible unhealthy relationships, drinking often and I look back and see how delulu it truly made me. I quit drinking thinking it was the cause of everything, it wasn’t. It was the adderall. 

I started taking micronutrients and slowly tapered going off them during Covid lockdown on my own and nailed the coffin closed with a mushroom trip. My dr did not like hearing that and said how I put my life in danger after them prescribing me legal meth for nearly a decade 🙄

Now I am happily married with a beautiful baby boy and just have so much peace in my life.
