Imagine dealing with daily dizziness, fatigue, low libido, depression, vision disturbances, and equilibrium issues for four years. Lori K. knows the feeling firsthand and can tell you how miserable it is.
“These symptoms had such a negative impact on my life. I was to the point where I dreaded waking up and getting out of bed. I didn’t have the energy or focus to take on the day. … I just didn’t want to do it.”
As a designer and business owner, Lori’s symptoms kept her from thriving at her job. “I’m a designer, and my husband and I have our own business. It was tough to do my work and be creative. But it also was so difficult to see how difficult this was on my husband, too. He just wanted to help me feel better, but he couldn’t help solve it. We both felt helpless.”
Where to Look When Traditional Healthcare Disappoints
“I tried several traditional doctors, neurologists, and OBGYNs (thinking it was a hormonal issue), and even some other chiropractors and physical therapy. During this time, I tried some natural hormone treatments and took a number of vitamins they recommended, but nothing made a difference for me. I was fed up because I wasn’t getting results. It had been going on for too long.”
Lori’s frustration led her to do a Google search for wellness centers in the area. “Valeo was one of the first results that came up in my search, so I started looking into it and was starting to feel hopeful. When I saw it was Christian-based clinic, I was more excited, so I decided to give it a try.”
Finally Feeling Heard
When Lori found Valeo, she knew things were different almost immediately. “At my first appointment, as I sat there waiting to be seen, I could feel the presence of God. There was Christian music playing, and I just knew I was in the right place,” Lori says emotionally, adding, “I get choked up talking about it!”
“Dr. Rob sat and talked to me … and this was huge! One of my big frustrations over the years was I couldn’t get anyone to listen to what was going on. I felt like I was on an island and was just making things up!” Lori echoed what many patients say their experience has been prior to finding Valeo—feeling unheard and like it is all in their head.
“Dr. Rob finally listened and talked to me about ideas of what could be going on and how we could work on it,” says Lori. “It was just wonderful. I had never experienced this type of care before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. But, he did a great job explaining and educating. I was quite hopeful and excited when I left that there was a plan and someone who cared about me and my health. It felt nice to not sound crazy! He assured me I wasn’t crazy and I felt so relieved.”
“Another cool thing about my first visit is that Dr. Rob went over previous doctor records and noticed things that none of the others had picked up on. He showed me how my blood labs indicated dehydration (even though my previous doctor said they looked normal), and I just knew he had gotten that right. Dehydrated was how I felt all the time! He just picked up on several really important things that had been missed by other practitioners. I worked out, ate well, there wasn’t anything the others had seen in my blood work that was out of the norm, but Dr. Rob did see it.”
Neurometabolic Therapy: Life-Changing Care
When Lori started the personalized protocol from Dr. Rob, her life rapidly changed.
“I happened to be in Wyoming, where I grew up, for first weekend of treatment and it just felt fitting to be there as I started fresh on this new journey. I felt close to God and was hopeful with this new start.
“Within a month of strictly following his protocol and supplements recommendations, I feel like a new person. Within the first couple of weeks my dizziness started going away. It was amazing. I started regaining my energy and everything just started blossoming again for me. I am able to get up and work out again—getting out of bed isn’t a chore anymore. I actually feel ready to take on the day. I just feel more vibrant and more … ‘me.’”
Lori’s Recommendation: Trust Valeo to Guide You to Wellness
“I would say to anybody that hasn’t tried a wellness approach that it’s worth the investment and the time to give it a try! Dr. Rob is fantastic. I feel like I’ve known him my whole life—he feels like family. The compassion he has for patients—really, the compassion the whole team has—they all feel like family. It’s a very cool place and I am so thankful that God led me here! The care I’ve received has made all the difference in the world. I look forward to finishing out my treatment and seeing the results continue to show up in many positive ways. It’s changed my life and I could not feel more blessed!”
