I am now in my late 70’s but feel much younger and able at last to enjoy a more energetic lifestyle and go walking regularly. Family and friends have all noted how much better I look. “After all these years of slow painful decline and concern it is so gratifying to feel back in the control seat and feel and look better.”
A former nurse in the UK National Health Service, Barbara contacted us because she was getting frustrated with the healthcare system.
Now in her late 70’s she’d experienced a plethora of health challenges over the years, including:
- Nausea, gas and belching
- Pain and discomfort in her digestive system
- Severe tummy bloating
- Mouth ulcers
- Food Sensitivities
- Migraines
- Poor sleep
- A burning sensation in her arms and legs
- A “lazy” gall bladder
- Non-alcohol fatty liver disease
- Skin conditions
- Chronic colds and flu-like symptoms
Even with this set of symptoms, we were 100% confident we could help.
So how did we do it?
We began, as we always do, by working on Barbara’s nutrition and lifestyle. We gradually helped her optimize her food intake, meal times, blood sugar levels and other critically important factors.
We then ran a stool test to check Barbara’s digestive health. The test result immediately identified some areas that required attention:
She had a yeast and fungal overgrowth, as you can see below:
She also had low levels of some important beneficial bacteria – for example, her Bifidobacter levels were way too low relative to her E. coli levels.
We could also see that Barbara had lower than ideal elastase I levels, which indicate pancreatic enzyme production (we like to see a value of 500+, and hers was 334).
Furthermore, elevated triglycerides and moderately elevated LCFA, total fat and cholesterol in her stool showed she wasn’t digesting dietary fat properly.
90-days and a new life!
Remarkably, by working to remove her yeast and fungal overgrowth, improve her digestion and optimize her foods and lifestyle, it took just 90-days of support for Barbara to reach her desired level of health.
She reported:
- Much better energy levels
- Sleeping through the night without waking (first time in 8 yrs)
- No longer having migraines
- Feeling slimmer and less bloated
- Friends and family were commenting on how good she looked
- Reduced itching sensations
- No burning in her arms and a significant reduction in her legs
And with the knowledge she gained during her 90-day programme, she’s been able to maintain her vitality long after her support programme was completed.
Indeed, a year after Barbara had finished her 90-Day support package she sent the following email:
“I am still progressing well with careful diet control and my energy levels are good with sleep pattern much improved. I wish you a Happy Christmas and good consulting in 2014”. I am extremely grateful to Jack, Dave and the team for their advice, help and encouragement.”
Can we help you?
Barbara’s results are far from unique – many people experience improvements in their symptoms once they know why they’re not feeling well and take action to fix it.
I will be 100% honest with you: we can’t guarantee the same level of health improvement for everyone and in some folk it may take a little longer before a desired level of wellness is achieved.
But what we can guarantee is a major improvement in symptoms over a 90-day period, even if those symptoms don’t disappear completely.
In order to get those improvements, the first step is to run a comprehensive case review where we look at your symptoms, health history, family history and food diary.
We can then recommend specific nutrition changes, and the right functional lab tests to pinpoint the specific reasons why you as a unique individual are experiencing symptoms.
We’ll then help you find out what your individual situation looks like, so we can tailor a support package for your needs and hold your hand through the process of reaching your goals.
If you’re ready to book a case review, or if you’d like an informal chat about your symptoms, please click here now.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Dave.
