My name is Cheryl. I am 62 years old, and have struggled with major health problems since age 15. At age 15, I threw my back out, and things progressed downhill since. Insomnia, Type II Diabetes, Hypertension, Porphyria, Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis…those are just the tip of the iceberg.

Josh's Story
Dr. Josh,
Thank you for the role that you have played in my son being able to return to a competitve level in track and field. Last year when we came to you with our concerns, Josh was not able to compete to his God-given natural ability due to breathing problems. However, with his regular adjustments, eating very healthy and ‘clean,’ and a side dose of good book recommendations from you, Josh has returned to championship form. As proof, last Friday Josh become a Division III TSSAA State Champion as a sophomore. We are very excited to see what the next two years of his high school career hold.
Thank you again for you role in helping Josh get back to competing at a high level in the sport that he loves.
Regards,
Jeff

Cheryl's Story
I have spent most of my life battling various physical issues including a hereditary blood disorder. It has been nearly 20 years since I was diagnosed with Lupus and chronic Anemia. During my pregnancy 11 years ago I lost function in one of my kidneys, and about 3 years ago I was proclaimed “pre-diabetic” after my gallbladder was removed.

Curtis' Story
When I first came to Dr. Axe I had been suffering from back and neck pain for well over 20 years. The pain and stiffness had only gotten worse over the past 6 to 8 years. I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was 13yrs old and thankfully my parents did not opt for the recommended back surgery the doctor suggested.

Jim's Story
The past few years have been some of the most challenging, heart breaking and physically exhausting years of my life. In 1999 I was hit by a drunk driver and sustained substantial damage to my neck. I spent 2 years in rehab and had been on narcotics and other pain killers almost ever since then to some degree.

Kathryne's Story
I just have to share this with everyone! I have been overweight well since I got married, gaining more weight as the years went by. I have tried many different things over the years to lose weight, but haven’t been able to stick to it. Mostly because it seemed to take forever to lose the weight and I had a long, long way to go. It always seemed hopeless to me. I would do well for a while but always ended up falling off the wagon and gaining the weight back.

Mark's Story
My wife and I recently attended Exodus Health Center’s Total Body Revolution Seminar, and it proved to be a life changing event. After struggling with my weight most of my life, fad dieting and always being able to lose weight but never keep it off, I was ready to make the changes needed to permanently lose the weight and become a healthier person. During this motivational half-day session, Dr. Axe explained the benefits of natural/organic eating, along with the importance of having a regular exercise regimen. That afternoon, we went home and cleaned out our refrigerator and cupboards, replaced everything with natural and organic foods, and began a new approach to healthy eating and living.

Sheila's Story
Six months ago I was 70 pounds heavier, had pain in my legs and was also having problems with my memory and cognitive function.
I came to Dr. Axe’s office after my daughter urged me to give his total health program a try. I found out I was allergic to dairy and gluten.
Since I started his program I’ve made radical changes to my lifestyle and diet. It wasn’t necessarily easy and it did require a lot of work, but I am very happy with the results! Dr. Axe’s philosophies of health and healing just makes sense.
Since I’ve been a patient of his I’ve lost 70 pounds, the pain in my legs is gone and my memory and cognitive function is back to 100%.
I accredit all this to the care I received from Dr. Axe, the diet changes he recommended and the upbeat nature and positivity of the staff at Exodus Health Center.

Brandi's Story
Before I started coming to Dr. Josh’s office I was dealing with severe allergies, back & neck pain, aching joints in my hands, and eczema (rashes & hives). I had tried every brand of over the counter and prescription medicine for my allergies (Claratin, Zertec, etc.). I used decongestants and ibuprofen on a regular basis.
In the last couple months since beginning Dr. Josh’s health program I’ve had NO back pain, NO allergy symptoms and way more energy. The joints in my hands also feel much better. Just last week I had a cold, but after getting adjusted and taking the recommended regimen of Vitamin C, it was gone the next day!

Sue's Story
I started coming to see Dr. Axe in January 2009. Every month for 6 years I would get a migraine. I told a friend that taking the medication made me tired and I would have to miss work. My friend recommended I see her doctor. I was nervous at first about getting a chiropractic adjustment, but I made an appointment. I soon started with Dr. Axe’s program and was getting adjusted and following his eating plan and recommended supplements. It was overwhelming at first, but I slowly made changes.
It has been almost one year since I began care and I have not had a migraine in 8 months. I have not had to take my prescription medication or even need Advil! I lost 20 pounds with the changes in my diet and regular exercise.
I am grateful to my friend who told me about Dr. Axe and Exodus Health Center. Dr. Josh and his staff are a blessing to me and my family.

Greta's Story
I first realized something was wrong in my senior year of high school. I was running late, as usual, and had skipped breakfast. I had an algebra test at the beginning of the day. I looked down at my test and I couldn’t answer a single question. Everything in my head was foggy. I knew something was wrong. My parents immediately called the doctor. I ended up having an EEG and many other tests, but they all came back negative. No one could figure out what was wrong.

Cheryl's Story
I always thought of myself as a healthy person. Growing up, I hardly ever went to the doctor for sickness or injury. It appeared I was in good health until I started having children. I had very difficult pregnancies that led to possible miscarriages and pre-term labor, etc. Once through having children, it appeared all was well again. Then I began having female organ problems (i.e. very painful menstrual cycles, ovarian cysts, ovarian tumors, endometriosis, etc.) This led to numerous exploratory surgeries, which then led to removal of the tumors (grapefruit size) and cysts (orange size), adhesions, and then ultimately a complete hysterectomy. During this time I used a wheelchair as needed and was in tremendous amount of pain.

Robert's Story
I came to Exodus Health Center about three months ago, almost as a last resort; I’d had eight angioplasties and had taken countless tests but nothing had worked. I was also on lots of drugs.
