Edi\u2019s husband, Tony, the love of her life and partner for 27 years, suddenly fell ill. He was in great health, so Edi rushed him to the hospital, where doctors struggled to figure out what was wrong. Then, before she knew it, Tony was gone.<\/p>\n<p>Not long after this shocking loss, Edi came to me, raw with emotion. I was heartbroken for her.<\/p>\n<p>Still, shortly after that emotional visit, she returned for products to help her with sleep, nutrition, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/immune-supplements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">immune health<\/a>. She was resolute in her desire to take care of herself.<\/p>\n<p>As if the heartbreak of losing her husband wasn\u2019t enough, though, Edi had an accident on her bicycle trying to avoid hitting a deer. She sustained a number of injuries, including a major fracture in her left leg. Unable to return to work with the children for months, she is now back and continuing to rehab and get stronger.<\/p>\n<p>Still today, Edi fights through pain and mobility issues as she recovers\u2014all while continuing to work and tend to her ranch.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"22410\"
