Thursday, March 4, 2010 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.
Tuesday, February 16, 2010 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.
About a month ago, my husband Matt and I watched a couple documentaries like Food, Inc. and Food Matters that made us think about what we were putting in our bodies. After seeing the progress Matt's parent's had made as patients of Dr. Axe’s, we decided we would go for it and do what had obviously worked for them and many others.
Wednesday, December 30, 2009 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.
Tuesday, December 22, 2009 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.
Wednesday, December 16, 2009 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!
Wednesday, December 9, 2009 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.
Tuesday, December 8, 2009 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.
