I caught my husband cheating with a girl half my age. She was 28, I was 52. And the only [music] reason I didn't crumble was what my sister flew in [music] from Brazil to show me.
So here's what happened. I came home early on a Tuesday. Heard noise upstairs.
[music] Walked up and there they were in our [singing] bed. She was 28. He was 54.
I didn't [singing] scream. I didn't [music] cry. Not yet.
I just closed the door. Walked back downstairs and stared at the wall until it got dark that night. [music] I stood in the bathroom and look at myself for the first time in [singing] 3 years.
I'm 52. Man, the paws hit me. Yeah.
49. I never let up. 35 lb in 18 months.
My [music and singing] belly never went down. My face was puffy every morning. My jawline was gone.
My skin had lost its glow. My edges were thin. Standing in that mirror, I got why he did it.
I didn't recognize the woman in the mirror [music] either. I tried everything for 3 years. I [singing] did Zumba.
4 days a week, cardio and Zumba didn't work. Sack, plexus, [music] and hydroxy. On top of all of it, nothing moved.
I went to my [singing] doctor. She didn't even look [music] up. Said it's just menopause.
Try to eat less, walk more. I walked out of her office and cried in my car. The night I [singing] caught him, [music] I called my sister Yolanda.
She lives in Salvador now [music] 20 years in Brazil. Married a Brazilian man, trained at a wellness clinic [music] in Rio. I told her what happened.
She says this. I'm on the next flight. Don't even [music] argue.
She got off the plane. Didn't hug me first. Didn't cry with me.
put her hands on my shoulders and says, "Sis, we got work to do. [music] You are not staying like this. " 3 days into her visit, she placed [music] a Brazilia pouch on the kitchen counter.
I looked at it, then looked at her. She opened the pouch and [music] placed two golden soft gels in her hand. She said, "You know those women who never seem [music] to age, the ones who still look confident, energized, and glowing years [music and singing] later.
The women who seem like they have their life together, [music] they're not luckier than you. They're not more disciplined than you. [music] They understand that supporting your body matters.
" I looked at her like she was crazy or blunder. I gained 35 lbs. I [music] don't need another supplement.
I need to lose weight. She looked me right in [singing] the eye. She said, "You don't [music] need to fight your body.
You need to support it. Your gut, your daily habits, and [music] your body's natural balance all work together. " She picked up the Brazilia [music] pouch.
This is Brazilia. Two oils in one soft gel. Ethiopian [music] black seed oil and oregano oil.
Oregano oil [music] is standardized to 85% carvacrol, one of the [music] key compounds studied for supporting gut balance. And [music] black seed oil contains douquen, a compound studied for supporting [music] your body's normal inflammatory response. They work together to support your gut and your body's [music] natural balance.
I said you're l there's no way two soft chills can change how [music] I felt after 3 years. She looked at me consistent support 6 weeks just watch. By week one I started paying attention not because something magical happened overnight but because I finally felt like I was supporting my body instead of constantly fighting it.
I started my mornings differently. Two soft gels every day. A simple routine.
And little by little, [music] I started noticing changes. By week two, my routine felt different. [music] I was sleeping better.
I had more steady energy. Throughout the day, my daughter called and said, "Mom, you sound different. " Week three, I looked in the mirror.
My face looked less tired and [music] my skin looked like it had more life. I felt like I was getting myself back. The woman I forgot was still there.
Week [music] four, I stepped on the scale and I finally saw progress, but more than the number, [music] I felt different. I had more confidence, more energy, more motivation. [music] I started going out again.
I started laughing again. I started feeling like myself again. [music and singing] Week five, I opened the dress in the back of my closet.
The one I never wore. I put it [music and singing] on and I cried. Not because I became someone else, because I finally felt like [music] me again.
Week six, my best friend pushed me to date. My daughter [music] set up the app. I match with a man named Mark.
He's a lawyer. The divorce came fast. I put on the dress, looked in the mirror, and I didn't recognize the woman staring back at me.
I saw me smile. [music] There she is. Cuz I got a martini early by the window.
Marcus was running [music] late. I looked up and my husband walked in. The same 28year-old [music] wearing the blue shirt I bought him last Christmas.
She was hanging on his arm. [music] They sat for tables away. He didn't [singing] see me on his shoulder.
[music] He was telling her it was funny. But halfway through dinner, I felt eyes on me. I looked over and my [music] husband was staring, his mouth slightly open like [music] he was seeing a ghost.
I excused myself to the bathroom. My sister was at the sink next to my mid50s, [music] beautiful but exhausted. She looked at me in the mirror, said, "I'm sorry, I have to ask you.
You look incredible. You can't be [music] over 40. My husband just left me and I look like death.
" I told her about my sister, about the Brazilia pouch, about the [music] two oils inside, about how I started supporting my body with oregano oil and black seed oil. [music] She pulled out her phone right there at the sink and ordered. I walked out and he was standing there alone.
[music] Renee, you look, he paused. You [music] look incredible. What did you do?
I didn't smile. I didn't speak. [music] I walked past him back to the table.
I was [music] glowing for Marcus. For me? M.
Two weeks later, my daughter visited. She saw the Brazil pouch [music] sitting on my counter. Mama, what is this?
Why do you look like that? Why does your look like that? I'm 24 [music] and I look more tight than you do.
She tried it. Two weeks later, she [music] texted me a selfie. Said I look like you.
Here's the thing. I thought he loved me cuz I [music] got old. He didn't.
He left me because he was a coward. He couldn't handle a real woman his [music] own age. I let myself believe him.
I let myself believe menopause was the end. It wasn't. [music] Menopause just locked everything in sick and I drained it.
I got me back. Not 30 year old me. But me, I was supposed to be at 52.
[music] Sharp, awake, alive. The woman you should have been terrified to lose. Look, I [music] don't know where you're at right now.
Maybe menopause hit you and never let up. Maybe [music] you've tried the diet in the Zumba, the beach body, the sun fast. Maybe your doctor wouldn't even look [music] up from a chart.
Told you it's just your age. Don't let them sell you those zic and [music] hormone therapy when your body just needs the drain. What menopause [music] locked in.
For generations, people have used natural ingredients to support wellness. And now [music] Brazilia brings two powerful oils together in one simple soft gel. Ethiopian black seed oil.
Naturally rich in thyocinone and [music] oregano oil. Standardized to 85% caracroll. A simple daily routine.
Two [music] soft gels before bed. If you still see the orange button below, resil available. [music] 30-day money [singing] back guarantee.
But honestly, after [music] 6 weeks, you won't need it. That's all it took for me.
