Success Stories with Functional Medicine & Holistic Nutrition
We are proud to offer the highest level of nutritional analysis available by providing patients with a Science Based Nutrition™ report and recommendations. Science Based Nutrition™ uses the latest in diagnostic testing, (blood, heavy metal, toxic element, tissue, mineral and urinalysis, etc.), to reveal nutritional deficiencies, illness, or tendencies toward disease even before symptoms have manifested. Using these valuable tests, we are able to make specific dietary, supplementation and lifestyle recommendations and monitor your progress through re-testing. The examples shown are documented cases of patients who have used the Science Based Nutrition™ report and clinical nutrition program to help in their healing.
Please note that we treat the PATIENT, not their disease, but many of the people that come in do so for an alternative approach to their diagnosed condition.

Reversing diabetes - In just 3 months this patient improved: triglycerides down 129 points; increased energy; glucose level down from 274 to 120; thyroid showing improvement; dropped 30 pounds.
Reversing diabetes, or preventing prediabetes from becoming diabetes is possible through functional medicine and clinical nutrition. Sometimes exercise and changing diet alone is not enough. Testing is so important to identify and address complicating factors in the way of your optimal health.

 In just 3 months: No more fatigue issues; reduced joint pain; sleeping >6 hours per night; better concentration; allergies improving
Chronic fatigue can have MANY causes -- nutritional imbalances, hormone imbalances, toxins, parasites - they all can wear down your system. In this mini case, the cause was heavy metals - testing that we do that hardly anyone else looks for. After helping her clear toxins, her symptoms greatly improved. |
 Holistic nutrition and Crohn's disease: In just 3 months: digestion under control; no nausea; fingernails healthy & strong; dermatitis gone; increased energy
The nature of Crohn's disease often results in malnutrition, dehydration, and inflammation. Typically Crohn’s patients are more likely to develop rectal bleeding, arthritis, skin conditions, weight loss, sores, ulcers, and colon cancer. To prevent these complications, we need to get the patient as healthy as possible by providing his body with extra nutrients and soothing supplements to help the digestive tract do its job. Restoring mineral balances and removing triggering foods and toxins as found through thorough testing can yield positive results with this auto-immune disease.

Chronic skin infection and diabetes management: In just 3 months: triglycerides down 88 points; cholesterol down 43 points; Vitamin D levels optimal; better energy/stamina; glucose levels improved
This 77 year old woman with diabetes, HBP, and high cholesterol contracted MRSA during a hospitalization and then a fungal infection over much of her torso and underarms. By running SBN testing, she was found to have low vitamins, high inflammation, and poor diabetes management. Nutrition helped her restore her function across the board and improved her rash, where creams and pills had failed.

In just 5 months: can walk up/down stairs; more independent; vision better; able to walk on toes; increased energy; off medications. Update: forget walking, she now dances regularly with her husband!
Here is yet another case where heavy metals and held in the body and functional imbalances lead to neurological degeneration. When was the last time YOU were checked for toxicity? Probably never! When your body is toxic and can't heal and repair all the damage going on fast enough to get ahead, widespread symptoms happen. With proper nutrition counseling and testing/retesting to endure it's working, monumental improvements can be made. Your body WANTS to heal itself.

Menopause, insomnia, and anxiety: In just 3 months: night sweats gone; weight stabilized; hives gone; stopped taking Xanax. In 9 months: anxiety down; appetite improved; blood pressure normal; hot flashes and shakiness improved; off all medications.
This patient’s anxiety took over her life. She went to her doctor who prescribed two anxiety drugs. Was she anxious? Absolutely! But why? Lead levels accumulated in her body to the point they were actually interfering with and shutting down the tools needed for everyday function. Once we’ve analyzed the patient’s imbalances, we can then map out a course of action to replenish her body with the essential elements and minerals needed to return her to an optimal state of health.

Anxiety help: In just 2 months: night sweats nearly gone, no depression symptoms, increased energy, sleeping 6 hours/night, excessive hunger under control, off all 5 medications.
The 33-year old patient presented with General Anxiety Disorder (GAD), concentration problems and memory loss. She was already taking a basic multi-vitamin and an enzyme therapy supplement as well as 5 different drugs to control her anxiety, depression, headaches, constipation and an infection in her ears. Her testing did not reveal any values outside of clinical ranges (so her conventional doctor would have said "all normal") but FUNCTIONALLY several were out of ideal ranges. Supporting those areas enabled her to turn her condition around.

After treating for parasites: chronic fever gone; sensitivity to light gone; hormone problems resolved; GI symptoms gone; weight gain ceased; off all medications.
After going to 7 doctors without relief, changing her diet, and being put on several medications to try to manage her symptoms, her SBN testing revealed several nutrient deficiencies. But this case has a twist... when she didn't respond as well as expected to her program, the key is WE KEEP LOOKING. Turns out, she had atypical presentation of parasites. Her nutritional parasite cleanse allowed her to pass several tapeworms - the first one within 3 days! and her symptoms were gone!
