From Fibromyalgia to Feeling Fantastic

Some search terms matched

In this consultation review, Jackson sat down with longtime Purser Wellness patient Lois Schweigert to go over her latest intracellular micronutrient (CMA) test results. After years of dealing with fibromyalgia, pain, gut issues, and inconsistent energy, Lois has made remarkable progress. Her newest CMA shows ZERO deficiencies — her best results ever — and it perfectly matches how great she’s been feeling. We discuss: • Her consistent weight training and dramatically improved recovery (thanks to catalase!) • Key optimization tweaks: amino acids, omega-3s, chromium, inositol, and glutathione • Blood sugar stability • Sleep support and overnight recovery • How trauma & stress affect your nutrient levels • Why intracellular testing is so unique and powerful If you’re dealing with chronic symptoms, poor workout recovery, or just want to optimize your health, this conversation is packed with practical insights from real patient results. 👉 Ready to get your own CMA?
