When Tom Taylor and Jenna Rayner got
together it was a big change in both their lives. Tom was
used to the single life. Jenna had been through the
emotional break-up of her marriage.
Says Jenna:
“We were both on eggshells around each other. We both had a
huge amount of stress as individuals and then as a family,
and since being on Rhodaptin we can deal with our individual
stress and then for some reason that kind of lowered the
family stress. So now we can go have fun together. In all
honesty the Rhodaptin Program and Dr. Vern saved our
relationship. Had we not dealt with the stress level that we
had I don't know that we would have gone on much longer as a
couple.”
Tom agrees:
“Things are a lot better for us. I would say that now
we're not just together, we actually have a relationship.
Before, we didn't really have a solid relationship because
we were very timid around each other due to stress. It was
very shaky, very strained.”
Tom says that his job brought on a
lot of the stress: “My stress level would be, I would say
considered extreme. Very stressed at all times...all times
of the day...all times of the night...at work...at home...to
a boiling point, to a snapping point. I’ve been a high, high
level stress person for 20+ years and nothing has ever been
able to take my stress load down like Rhodaptin. Since being
on this program I am relaxed and I can actually function on
a day-to-day basis. After I started the program, probably
within a week I felt a difference. But within a few weeks it
was really apparent. My fuse was not short any more. If it
can work for me Rhodaptin would absolutely have to work for
somebody who doesn't have the stress levels that I carry.”
In Jenna’s case, she says, “Before
being on the Rhodaptin Program, I was an emotional basket
case. I couldn't deal with things. I wouldn't deal with
things. So they would sit and pile up and the problem would
get worse and the stress would get higher, and I kept trying
to hide from it. And once I started on Rhodaptin, I felt
stronger and I was saying to myself—you know what, I can
deal with this. And so I would tackle six or seven things
that had been piling up for months and get them done all in
one day. I absolutely recommend Rhodaptin to everybody, and
I have.”
Both Tom and Jenna have noticed a
huge improvement in their sleep patterns.
Says Tom:
“We both sleep now. That helps too. That was the part of the
compound issue. You lie awake at night, you don't sleep,
you're maybe going to bed mad at each other because we're
not dealing with things well. Now we get a good night’s
sleep and have a better chance to start a day off right and
not wake up to a high stress level, knowing that you're
going to add to it throughout the day and continue the cycle
on through the night. So now everyday you wake and there's
an opportunity to start with a clean slate.”
Adds Jenna:
“He wouldn't sleep at night. I'd wake up and look over at
him and he was just lying there staring at the ceiling. And
you could feel the tension because he was thinking about
everything, and I'm thinking there's got to be some point
where he turns off and can relax. And it wasn't until he
went on Rhodaptin that it happened.”
Being together as a family was a big
adjustment for Tom and Jenna (and Jenna’s six-year-old son,
Brandon).
Says Tom, “You know, I went from a
happy little single life in which I could be stressed all I
wanted in my nice little house, and now I've got a woman
with an opinion and I have a six-year-old running around,
and then I have to buy a bigger house and so I have more
bills and more mouths to feed. You can bring as many
external stresses as you want, but they are going to get
added to it immediately when you get into a new
relationship. So, now at least we can deal with that and
focus on the relationship, instead of focusing on what's
dragging things apart.”
Says Jenna, “I had stuff going on as
well trying to get a new home made and having my son get
used to a step-dad and making sure that relationship was OK,
and trying to hide Brandon from Tom’s stress. I didn't want
Brandon to think that if Tom was mad or angry that it had
something to do with him. So I was trying to shield him.”
And Tom? He remembers, “Many nights
I'd have to tell Brandon that he hadn’t done anything wrong
and I wasn't mad at him, that there were other things going
on. I would apologize if I'd done anything to him that made
him think that he'd had done anything wrong. So, that became
an almost a nightly thing as well.”
But not any more.
Says Jenna, “After Tom had been on
the Rhodaptin Program for a while we noticed a big
difference in him. He'd come home in a good mood, and then
you could see Brandon was excited. He'd run out to the
driveway to get him and they'd come in and change and go out
and play baseball. They loved to play catch, go fishing
together, and now that Tom has that reduced stress, it's a
lot better for their relationship because they have fun
together.”
Tom’s
colorful summary: “I would say for me, before the
Rhodaptin Program, I was the dark, red face on your
messenger emoticon with smoke flying out his ears. And now
I'm the smiley, yellow face with sunglasses enjoying
things!”
