My Wandelkraft Experience Report:
How I Almost Lost Myself Without Realizing It
- Brigitte, 54 years old
- 9-month journey
- Wandelkraft by Revitera
“I am Brigitte and I want to tell you how I almost lost my own life without realizing it.”
When I look in the mirror today, I recognize myself again. A year ago it was different.
I saw a face I didn’t know. Rounder, puffier, sad. The eyes tired, as if they hadn’t really slept in months.
I’m 54, I live in Switzerland, I’ve worked all my life, taken care of family, household, and everything else. I’ve never been the type to let myself go. But in recent years, something inside me had shifted.

The Gradual Decline
It started with small things: I felt cold faster than others. I could barely get out of bed in the morning. I forgot things that would never have slipped my mind before. I blamed it on stress, on age, on “that’s just how it is now”.
Then came the water retention. At first only in the evenings in my ankles. Then every day.
I could literally watch my legs swell over the course of the day. My rings no longer fit. My face looked bloated, even right after waking up.
And over all of this there lay a constant fog of exhaustion. The simplest things cost me energy. Shopping, laundry, cooking – everything felt like a marathon no one could see.

At the doctor’s I kept hearing the same sentence: “Your values are fine. You’re correctly adjusted.”
My Research: I Didn't Want Another Empty Promise
That evening I couldn’t sleep. I sat down at the kitchen table, grabbed my laptop, and started researching.
I read everything I could find: articles, experience reports, medical pieces. I wanted to know whether Wandelkraft was just a good marketing story or whether someone there really understood what is happening in bodies like mine.
I found articles about women whose bodies didn’t function properly despite L-thyroxine. Again and again I read the same theory: That the hormone itself is not the problem, but the conversion in the body.

The Key Discovery
Many affected people produce or receive enough T4 (the “storage hormone”), but the body can’t manage to convert it into enough active T3 – the hormone that controls metabolism, energy, digestion, weight, sleep, and wellbeing.
And this is exactly where the liver comes into play. It is largely responsible for converting T4 into T3.
The Friend Whose One Sentence Changed Everything
One evening I was sitting at the table with a friend. She’s known me for decades; she’s seen how I used to be: awake, active, solution-oriented.
She looked at me for a long time and then said quietly:
She looked at me for a long time and then said quietly:
“You’re not you anymore.”
That sentence hit me harder than all the blood values and medical reports together.
Then she told me about a product called Wandelkraft from Revitera. Normally, that’s the point where I would mentally check out. Over the years I’ve seen enough “miracle cures” that did nothing.
This time was different. She didn’t promise me anything. She didn’t gush. She just said: “It helped me. Take a look at it in peace. And if you have questions, ask me.”

The First Contact with Revitera: For the First Time, No Empty Phrases
I hesitated for a long time before writing to Revitera. I didn’t want to be an annoying, suspicious customer who questions everything.
I explained that I have Hashimoto’s, that I’ve been taking L-thyroxine for years, that I suffer from fatigue, water retention, and digestive issues. I asked about quality, origin of raw materials, testing, and studies.
The answer surprised me. It wasn’t loud or flashy. It wasn’t evasive. It was calm, factual, and very respectful.

The Doctor's Appointment That Finally Proved Me Right
When the results came in, I could see it in her facial expression. She was serious. Focused.
My fT4 was relatively high, my fT3 rather low, the ratio clearly shifted
My rT3 was elevated
Selenium in whole blood was clearly too low
The liver values showed that my liver was really busy
I sat there and only thought: “Finally. It’s not all in my head.”

The Decision to Try Wandelkraft
After this appointment it was clear to me: I wanted to try something that wasn’t just “more of the same”.
I went to the Revitera site and looked at Wandelkraft again. The composition wasn’t a wild mix, but seemed well thought-out. Liver support, nutrients for conversion, antioxidant plant substances, all embedded in a concept that matched my blood values.
I decided on the 3-pack. One month would be too short to say anything serious.

The First Weeks: Waiting, Doubting, Hoping
I took Wandelkraft as recommended: In the morning on an empty stomach my usual L-thyroxine, after lunch two capsules of Wandelkraft with a large glass of water.
The first few days nothing happened. At least nothing I could perceive. I became impatient.
After about a week and a half I noticed something for the first time that I almost overlooked. Noon, normally always my low point, felt different.

It was no spectacular effect. It was more like someone had moved a switch one millimeter further towards “on”. But I felt: Something is happening.
Weeks 3 to 6: Slowly, I Started to Come Back to Myself
With each week, I noticed more differences. First in small things.
I slept more deeply and no longer woke up feeling as if I hadn’t slept at all
My mood changed. The irritability eased off
My digestion became more regular and calm
My shoes were looser in the evening. The swelling in my legs eased
For the first time in a long time there were days when I could say: “Today I feel normal.”
And that was almost the best feeling of all.

The Follow-up Appointment: "I Owe You an Apology"
A few weeks later I had my check-up. We agreed to measure the same values again.
When the results came in, her first sentence was: “I think I owe you an apology.”

The Key Discovery
- ✓ The fT4:fT3 ratio had improved
- ✓ The rT3 had gone down
- ✓ Selenium was in the normal range
- ✓ The liver values looked more relaxed
For the first time in many years I had the feeling that my body was no longer my enemy.
Nine Months Later: I Am Myself Again
Today, about three-quarters of a year after I started with Wandelkraft, my everyday life looks different.
I’m tired in the morning if I go to bed too late – like any normal person
I have lost almost ten kilos without dieting
The water retention is almost gone
My doctor was able to reduce my L-thyroxine dose

I am not “cured”. I will always have Hashimoto’s. But I have my life back. And that’s more than I ever dared to hope for.
Why I'm Writing This Experience Report
I’m not someone who constantly writes reviews or praises products to the skies. Actually, I wanted to close the chapter of “trying new products” for myself.
But at some point I got an email from Revitera support asking whether I would be willing to share my experiences. After they took so much time for me and had such a big impact on my life, I wanted to give something back.
If you recognize yourself in some of these sentences, if you’ve been tired for years, retain water, feel misunderstood, and have the feeling that your body isn’t playing by the rules:

Then I want to tell you:
- ✓ You're not imagining it
- ✓ You're not "too sensitive"
- ✓ There are ways to support your body
For me, Wandelkraft was a crucial building block. What you do with this is your decision.
I just hope that my experience shows you that you’re not alone.
