I was four months into a new exercise regime when I had hit a plateau and a friend mentioned Steve to me at a dinner party and told me he had been seeing Steve and had achieved amazing results and thought I would benefit from his help.
Although predominantly weight loss was my goal I told Steve at our first meeting that I had a terrible rash for the last six months on my legs that constantly itched and had caused me to contract cellulitis at its worst.
I had been to the doctors several times and been given different creams to try each time that made no difference, even a visit to A and E when it was really bad and had become infected yielded no solution or any idea as to what was causing it. I couldn’t sleep and my legs were starting to scar from the constant scratching.
Steve was convinced of something underlying in the gut or part of my lifestyle contributing to my issues. We adapted my diet which didn’t affect the rash but I lost weight and lowered my body fat yippee!, then running a stool test and adapting our approach I was finally able to remove the rash from my legs.
I haven’t itched since its been a revelation and all my friends that thought he was barking mad to even consider the connection between food / gut health and my rash have had to eat there words!
I am not only itch free but I’ve lost weight and more importantly more body fat!!! So a win-win situation.
It has been and still is an emotional journey for me.
More importantly than all Steve’s wonderful knowledge and know how has been his compassion and sensitivity in understanding things at a much deeper level. My journey continues and I’m very happy to have Steve helping me he has been a great find!
