We’ve all experienced short-lived illness where all we can ingest are saltines and chicken broth. But imagine being limited to those two things not just for days, but for weeks.
Wanda was experiencing such bad digestion issues, that’s all she could stomach. “This was an issue that went off and on for years. It was accompanied by other symptoms, too, like coughing and choking attacks, but being limited to those two foods… that was the last straw,” she explains.
Like many patients who are new to functional medicine, Wanda had seen several doctors to try to resolve this issue. She had seen a gastroenterologist (and had an endoscopy of her upper and lower GI tract) and a pulmonologist, too. “I went through lots of traditional doctoring and nobody could figure out how to resolve it,” she says. “Nothing they were prescribing worked. I knew I had to try something else.”
Getting Her Life Back
Wanda heard about Valeo from both her therapist and a friend. After a free consultation call, she decided to see if Dr. Kassie could help get to the root of her health issues.
“My initial appointments with Dr. Kassie were great,” shares Wanda. “She asked a lot of questions, took a lot of notes, and referred me for some blood tests to take a deep dive into potential problems I could be having. I appreciated that she also gave me a couple different things I could try in the meantime while we waited for the lab results.”
Once Wanda’s results came back, Dr. Kassie walked Wanda through the results, thoroughly explaining the findings. Based on the combination of Wanda’s health history and the lab work, Dr. Kassie and Wanda decided on a treatment plan with which to move forward.
“Once starting the treatment plan, I noticed a difference fairly quickly,” Wanda states happily. “In fact, I noticed the biggest changes within the first 60 days. The supplements she recommended seemed to really resolve things. I am still taking some of them, but some I don’t need to take anymore.”
Wanda was impressed at how quickly she regained her quality of life, especially when other doctors had been unable to help her.
“Last year to this year is totally different. Last summer, I didn’t want to do anything because of how I felt. My husband and I did very little of what we would have liked to do together. He did stuff without me,” tells Wanda. “Now, I have more energy, my mental health is much better (I was even able to go off of medication I was on for anxiety and depression), and my digestion is obviously much better, too! I’m also seeing Michelle for Emotion Code, and I believe that’s been helping my health, as well.”
Thoughts About Valeo
When we asked Wanda what her overall experience was at Valeo, she summed it all up nicely: “It was amazing!”
It’s a goal at Valeo to make sure patients feel welcome, loved, and cared for from the moment they step foot into the clinic.
“Everyone I’ve run into at Valeo has been very professional and very nice. The whole experience from start to finish has been incredible. I also love how Valeo is upfront with their Christ-centeredness. I think that, for me anyway, it is comforting to know they share the same values as I do.”
