Speaker: Lisa Hermann
Lisa Hermann: I do know that I was racing up the stairs with laundry one day, and I wasn't thinking about my knee, and that's when it dawned on me, Hey, I'm not feeling any knee pain.
Question 1 of 3: Describe a specific moment when your joint pain stopped you from doing something you love and how that felt.
Lisa Hermann: So I've been dealing with my knee pain, now for about 3 years and I went to go see the doctor and I'm not a candidate for replacement because I'm too young and they don't last that long. So right now it's about pain management. Fine. I took meloxicam for swelling. I was wearing a compression knee joint thing to bed, to the gym, up the steps, and, I wasn't very encouraged that I was going to be able to. Feel OK until I had surgery. I saw an ad for these, Green-lipped Mussel Pills and I thought I have nothing to lose. It sounded new. It wasn't something conventional, and I was desperate. Also a glass half empty person, so not very hopeful. 3 months in, I was still feeling my joint pain in my knee and I was getting very discouraged. 4 months. And I finally noticed that I wasn't noticing my knee. I, if I can't, I can't pinpoint exactly when that happened. I do know that I was racing up the stairs with laundry one day, and I wasn't thinking about my knee, and that's when it dawned on me, Hey, I'm not feeling any knee pain. And when I say not feeling any pain, I mean, I have mobility. I am not cracking. I, and I'm not uncomfortable, which is crazy. Granted, I was still wearing my compression joint thing, but at night, I don't have to sleep with that anymore because I'm not feeling my knee. It's not waking me up. So I am incredibly happy, and I'm performing better at the gym and I can go back to my 3 times a week. I don't do anything crazy. I just want to do balanced and stability and not be in chronic pain. It's not asking a lot, but it seems like it's really hard, for people to get that kind of relief. And I have to say, This is working. And I'm very, very pleased with the product.
Question 2 of 3: What made you finally try GLX3, and how soon did you realize it was different from everything else you’d tried?"
Lisa Hermann: So, I watched the ads come through my social media feeds for probably 2 months before I finally decided I was going to try it. Again, incredible skeptic. I feel like I've tried everything out there that's over the counter and also prescriptions, and the OTCs didn't work and the prescriptions made me feel wonky. So I was really keeping my fingers crossed for this, for this Green-lipped Mussel formula, which I had never heard of. Now, I'm a non-compliant person. Sorry. And I, I know that the bottle said for like the first 2 weeks, take 4 capsules, but it's expensive and I didn't want to do that. So I started on, please don't kill me for telling people this, but I just started doing the 2 capsules a day. And that could be why it took me 4 months to see a difference versus the 3. But very, very happy with my results.
Last Question: Now that you're back in action, what’s the best part about having your life back?"
Lisa Hermann: I think now that I'm feeling this relief from this chronic knee pain that's been with me now for years, is the freedom just to say yes. I'm able to say, sure, I'll go on that long walk with you. Sure, I'll take that hike up the, wherever you're going. And, I don't really think about it. I will put on my compression, just as a mental support, but in terms of feeling pain, I, I kind of just feel like. I don't have to think about that anymore. And it's really liberating. One, not to be in chronic pain, and 2, not to have to be thinking about it all the time. It takes up a lot of mind space, and at this point, I can't remember what I'm having for breakfast in the mornings. So the more space I can free up, the better. So yeah, I'm, I'm a lot more active. I'm doing a lot more things with my family. I'm saying yes a lot more. So, very happy.
