CLIENT SUCCESS STORIES
How she cleared her skin…
this client came to me with... chronic acne since puberty, bloating/heartburn, PMS, low energy/brain fog
she had tried...accutane, several rounds of antibiotics, tretinoin, and numerous topicals, and worked w/ another practitioner for her gut but her skin wasn’t budging
we started out with…a thorough one-hour consultation to deep dive into her symptoms, history, lifestyle, and more
some notable things were that... she already had a solid foundation of nutrition and ate minimally processed foods but she had a tendency to skip meals, high-stress job/history of stressors, strenuous workouts/fasting, and scattered sleep
prior to getting her lab results in, I had her...double down on hydration with added minerals/electrolytes, focus on providing her body with enough nutrients/food for her activity level and made sure she didn’t skip meals, had her stop working out fasted, and focus on her morning/nighttime routine to optimize her sleep and nervous system from the ground up
then we received her lab results…
some h pylori starting to grow
lack of good bacteria and the start of overgrowth of bad bacteria
Candida starting to show up
overactive immune response and reactivity to gluten
moderate GI inflammation and low pancreatic enzyme function
and this doesn’t include her comprehensive lab results which showed sub-optimal vitamin D levels, high LDL, and more!
she then started a personalized protocol to address her deeper root causes...
support and prep her drainage pathways
gave her immune system some love + repleted minerals
targeted h pylori/dysbiosis eradication
gave her gut lining some added tools to heal and reduce inflammation
boosted her vitamin D levels and other targeted supplements for an indicated reason
and most of all continued to have her focus on all those non-negotiable foundational pillars of her healing with nutrition, nervous system regulation, hydration, blood sugar balancing, etc.
