Fortunately, I found Dr. Lewis and BHERI. The supplements have been life-changing for me. I have seen a drastic reduction in the frequency and severity of my headaches; my memory issues have dissipated; my emotional regulation has improved significantly; and my body feels much better. To give a concrete example, I went from being unable to focus and retain information while studying for the GMAT to graduating from a top-five MBA program.
