“I went from sad and tired, with thinning hair and constant chocolate cravings, to energetic and mentally alert, with a healthy gut. I finally felt like myself again. I didn’t have to worry about my health anymore. Now I can just live life!”

After years of an active life as a healthy athlete, I suddenly found I was tired, depressed, and my digestion was off. I couldn’t sleep at night. My hair was thinning and I had no libido. I needed multiple naps to get through a day and experienced brain fog from eating almost anything. I was feeling depressed and woke up at 3 a.m. with insomnia only remedied by chocolate. I went to a few doctors and disappointingly, all my lab tests came back normal. I was told there was nothing wrong with me, but I knew something was very wrong.

I read everything I could on the internet and proceeded to waste a ton of money on herbs, vitamins and supplements in attempts at treating my symptoms. I eventually found Functional Medicine and figured out that a gut infection was at the root of all my problems. I learned how to heal my gut, rebalance my hormones, and get my health back.
What I Am Doing
I am writing a book on digestive and thyroid disorders. I am very interested in improving digestive treatments because your gut is crucial for overall health. Because of this, I am performing a clinical trial in my office.
