Virtual Functional Medicine Healed My Wife

“My wife had recurring diverticulitis type pains and also frequent bladder infections. She also had a bout with impetigo. We wanted to see a Naturopathic Dr after seeing all the disappointing stories of folks with hospitals and allopathic doctors during covid. We found Dr Candi Dias online and made an appointment. She was very thorough and unlike previous doctors she spent three hours talking with my wife to learn about her history and lifestyle. She set up blood lab tests at a local lab and analyzed them to establish a treatment plan using supplements and lifestyle/diet changes. We did most of this remotely via zoom after the initial, comprehensive in person appointment. She suggested one scan but that was the only hospital visit we needed to make and it was a simple outpatient visit. So it was a blessing that mostly everything was accomplished outside of a hospital. The scan did establish my wife’s bladder was retaining 200-300 cc of urine which led to the use of intermittent catheters at home which helped my wife’s UTI’s significantly. Today my wife rarely has a GI flare-up if she follows the plan with her diet and supplements and has not had a UTI in months. Dr Diaz took a personal interest in my wife’s health and did follow up calls, zooms and emails on a regular basis. She was proactive in helping with my wife’s health issues and doing the appointments remotely from home was a great convenience.”

I Feel Better than I Have in Years Thanks to Functional Medicine

“I can’t say enough good things about this holistic health company! I was struggling with digestive issues, painful menstrual cycles, and daily inflammation. After following their detox plan (no sugar, soy, gluten, or dairy) for 10 weeks, about 80% of my symptoms have improved or completely gone. I even gave up diet soda — something I thought I could never do — without any cravings! I feel better than I have in years. Highly recommend to anyone serious about healing and improving their health!”

Gut Issues, Inflammation and Weight Gain Resolved!

-LeAnn Sloviak

“I was struggling with fatigue, inflammation, bloating and weight gain and had been advised by my primary doctor that all my blood work was “normal”. I knew something wasn’t right, so I reached out to Mitchell Holistic Health and I am so glad I did! They were able to help with all my symptoms and I even lost 15 pounds. I feel so great now and would highly recommend Mitchell Holistic Health!”

“Natalie and Claire are great, funny, and real! I was unhappy with how I was feeling after I ate and just in general. I was always tired, headaches, muscle aches, and my brain fog was crazy to the point I would stutter to try and find the right words let alone ANY words really. I, like most started with my PCP and of course didn’t hear what I was looking for because I knew it was deeper than that and she didn’t care to even ask those things. I was told to walk for 15 minutes and the weight will fall off and I will feel great. I found Mitchell Holistic and I am forever grateful. I started with Claire, she dove deep. She wanted to hear about everything (no stones left unturned). She wanted to do a blood test to find out where my levels (thyroid, etc) were truly at. Once those results came in we started on one diet plan. We thought this would be a 2-3 month process and I guess my body works in layers. That plan was working but still wasn’t ready for re-introductory so we went back to the drawing board and tried another, more strict plan as I noticed I was having troubles with night shades. I was discouraged because I just wanted to add new things in. As I got through this second, more strict plan, I actually said I was thankful! I was feeling better, it wasn’t actually as hard as I thought to eat this way and why wouldn’t I when I feel great afterwards. It was becoming my new normal and I feel if I was done after month 2…would it have stuck? Probably not. So we dove deeper as I was still unable to introduce new foods. Hair test it was!!! Why didn’t I just do this one from the beginning…because I wanted to try the other ways first! This was a game changer because now I knew EXACTLY what my body liked and didn’t/couldn’t tolerate. I started to meet with Natalie at the beginning of all of this as well and we found out that STRESS is huge and plays a major part. She started me on DNRS and I loved watching and listening to this lady speak. It was inspiring. There were times I questioned my journey and the DNRS path but I was recently away (vacation kind of) for a month and realized I was actually following the DNRS in a different way and succeeding. In my 8 months working with these two ladies I have lost 50+ pounds. Was it what I went in for, no but it was a great perk that I have loved! I can now teach my kids the things I have learned which is empowering. These two ladies truly listen and try to understand who you are and how you work so they can create and help you form plans that will work for you as an individual. They are always there to answer questions, to be your cheerleader and encourage you on this journey.
