Before seeing Steve, I was experiencing major bloating, constipation, sleepless nights, major aches in my joints, especially my feet and massive weight gain (10st 3lb – 12st 10lb) in 8 months. I have always eaten healthily and train 3-4 times per week.
So as is the norm I approached my Dr and over the next few months saw many “Ologists” to try and get to the route of the problem;
Nephrologist – Was it a kidney problem – No.
Endocrinologist – She told me I was old (48) and my symptoms were to be expected as I am obviously heading for the Menopause!
Gynaecologist – Apparently I have a fibroid but it’s immaterial as I am menopausal!
Gastroenterologist – He put me on antidepressants as it was obvious from a five-minute chat that I had IBS and Fibromyalgia and apparently anti depressants are very good for that!! When they made no effect he called me a liar and stated “nobody eats and trains like you do and gains weight” Eventually he agreed to do a colonoscopy which I am pleased to say was clear.
So convinced I was not mad and was not making my symptoms up, it was suggested I go and see Steve…
With a thorough Functional Medicine assessment and some testing Steve was able to uncover some of the underlying issues causing my symptoms. Steve explained the implications and what I need to do to resolve the issues.
Within a few months my symptoms had resovled, I am going to the toilet on a regular basis and sleep well between 6 and 8 hours a night, my aches and pains have gone and have lost a stone.
I feel amazing and it is all down to Steve’s dedication and commitment to get to the root of my problem.
Thank you so much.
