DEE: So before Cereset, I have had, you know, medical issues for over half of my life and severe stress. And what I learned was trauma from dealing with that, for over half of my life kind of hit a point where I realized I needed something else to help me get through the mental side of those health issues. I had really become a little bit more isolated in the way that I was living my life in the sense that with the medical issues, if something was stressful, or I didn't feel, you know, safe eating certain foods, I would just avoid everything at all costs to prevent any type of scenario. But after Cereset, I realized I could conquer a lot of those fears from my past medical issues. And you know, it might sound funny, but you know, eating certain foods on an airplane, or, you know, trying foods I hadn't eaten in years, I was able to do again, and it wasn't scary to do it.
VENICE: So can give me a little more of how the swallowing issues started with you and why foods were scary.
DEE: Sure. So when I was 12 years old, I'm 26 now, pretty much overnight, I developed swallowing issues, eating food, I would choke on it. I also developed anaphylactic allergies overnight. So eating, which was something that I'd always loved became something that was scary. And over time, over the years, those issues progressed, they got worse. So I've kind of dealt with that for years. I actually had a surgery about a year ago to try to aid in the swelling issue, trying to you know, get me back eating more foods. But even though I had the surgery, I was still too scared to re introduce foods back into my life because I was, you know, rightfully afraid of a choking incident. But Cereset provided me the ability to kind of move past the fear, and slowly start reintroducing foods I hadn't eaten and, you know, I had not had popcorn in six years. And now it's something that I can eat regularly.
VENICE: Do you find you have more patience with people?Do you find you have more patience with people?
DEE: Yes. Because I'm not stressed, I've determined. I didn't realize how you almost get to a point where you're just so stressed all the time. You're not even consciously aware that you're stressed. And until I went through Cereset and felt what it was like to be, you know, normal in the sense of normal stress levels again, I didn't realize how stressed I was every day.
VENICE: Has your sleep changed at all.
Yeah, I actually realized I didn't even realize this until I finished with my initial Cereset appointments. But my entire life. I'm somebody that always would dream every night, I would remember my dreams. And about three years ago, I realized I stopped dreaming altogether. And since I started Cereset I am dreaming again. And I've noticed for me everyone's different but a correlation between being able to dream and being able to fall asleep.
VENICE: Cool. And do you feel more rested when you get up?
DEE: Yes, because I think I'm actually in a deeper sleep than I was before. Before I you know, the last three years is really when I had the sleep issues, but I've never had before. Falling asleep was almost impossible. And then staying asleep was also more difficult where I didn't have any of those issues before. I think COVID is what really started that for me, I got really sick with COVID. And I think it really messed up my sleep patterns and Cereset got me out of that sleep pattern.
VENICE: Did you have a loss of smell and taste with COVID
DEE: Thankfully that was the only symptom I did not have. But after I got COVID Come to find out, you know, working with doctors, I did have the original strain of COVID. Back in December of 2019, before anybody knew what it was. And long COVID is something I dealt with for almost two y
