When I first came to Living Health, all I knew was that I was chronically fatigued and barely managed the energy to get through my day. I was 57 years old , worked as a heavy truck and equipment mechanic for most of my career and just a few years prior, I started taking care of my disabled wife at home. Before meeting Dr. Tom and Dr. Steph I had tried traditional medicine, hoping to lose weight and regain the energy I had lost many years ago. The last doctor I went to simply told me that I had low testosterone and started me on injections, which I took for a year. Sadly, during that time I never lost any weight and never regained any strength . When I had finally given up that effort I began to look to functional medicine. After meeting with Dr. Tom and Dr. Stephanie Chaney, I was finally introduced to the concept of chronic cellular inflammation. Dr. Tom was the first doctor to inform me that if the cells of the body were dysfunctional and the cell receptors were damaged, then nothing of nutritional value nor basic hormones could get in and cellular toxins were trapped. At the beginning of my treatment. Dr. Tom had ordered extensive testing which included among other things the organic acids test and hormone testing along with environmental testing. I was surprised to find out that I suffered from leaky gut syndrome, and chronic inflammatory response syndrome among other diagnosed issues .Dr. Steph , after ordering a food sensitivity test initiated me to my very first anti-inflammatory diet. It certainly seemed to be a tall order, but I knew if I was going to see change, I needed to be focused and disciplined . Amazingly as the following weeks and months went by. I started shedding weight with ease thanks to this protocol and some extensive natural supplementation . Over time I had also benefited from Dr. Steph’s detox programs. I’ve had software therapy for an injured shoulder, regaining full function without surgery. I’ve also benefited tremendously from the novel A2M injections for arthritis in both of my knees since the injections. I’ve had no pain and I enjoy full range of motion once again . And to add to all this, Dr Tom helped me through his chiropractic care to deal with a neck and spine issue resulting from repetitive injury at work. It has now been over two years that I’ve been with the team at Living Health. I’ve not only lost over 50 pounds but I have made great strides in overall health and well-being. I have not achieved all of my goals as yet, but I’m certainly far from where I began. I would like to thank Dr. Steph and Dr. Tom and their entire staff for the dedication and support and great compassion they have shown me and everyone who is part of the Living Health family. I am truly blessed and honored to share this journey of health with all of you. May God bless you. Joe B
