Nutritionally Yours

I’ve been here twice and have e-​mailed numerous times related to symptoms… I’ve been waiting to make this post, because I wanted to get my test results back and to see if the Paleo diet worked for me and prove to show results… Well the answer for both is yes, and that’s why I’m giving a 5 star rating, along with a few disclaimers…
If you have been going to traditional medicine doctors and can get any answers for your symptoms then this is the best place for you based on my experience!!!
I will say this 1: Have your funds available and get ALL the testing that she recommends…
2: DO NOT buy any products until you receive the test results back!!!
3: If a diet is recommended, please try it for at least 30 days…
My 1^st visit was overwhelming, so I did get the comprehensive stool test (in which I’m grateful for), but I also bought three shake supplements/​powders (which I should have waited on) (see pic). When I received my comprehensive results (that gave me many answers and one I still search for the root cause of) then I had to get herbal meds to treat what that test showed.
2 of the shake supplements I have yet to use, except once! I have started to use the Paleo protein when I make myself the Dr. Oz smoothie (it taste like banana pudding). But make sure that you are aware that Paleo protein comes in 3 flavors… Vanilla, chocolate, and berry! I do plan to have more testing as soon as I have the funds to do so!
I did follow-​up with my GP to show him my test results and he disclosed some information to me about the medical field and practice that was disheartening… If you need to know, I will recommend that you get yourself tested ASAP!!!

Alane is phenomenally knowledgeable and genuine. Not only do you benefit from her expertise, but she really cares about the people that she sees. You are never just an appointment to her.

I honestly don’t know where to begin but I want to share my story in the event that it might help someone else. I am a registered nurse and healthcare consultant. My husband is a physician and my father and grandfather were both physicians. I have been around «traditional medicine» all my life. I respect it and have seen it work miracles. With that said, I have also seen the gaps in traditional medicine. I absolutely believe that many diseases come from a lack of balance in our own bodies. Most traditional physicians are taught to diagnose a condition and treat it with a medication and/​or surgery. They don’t know how to look at how one thing out of balance may cause something else to be out of balance. So, I was going to my doctors like a good patient. I was taking the medicines they prescribed and I was feeling worse than ever.
I’ve been feeling sick for the last 3– 4 years and I was getting worse. I was exhausted from the time I rolled out of bed until I fell back into bed. I hurt all over, all the time and nothing could keep me going except sugar and caffeine. As tired as I was, I was only able to get 3 — 4 hours of sleep a night. I was depressed and couldn’t concentrate. I had gained 35 pounds and couldn’t exercise because I was too tired and all my joints hurt. I was about to give up and accept that my active life was over.
But … I read a book about adrenal fatigue, balancing your body with nutrition, supplements and reducing stress. It made perfect sense to me. I was on a mission to heal myself — from the inside out!
I spoke to my doctors. Some were on board and some were not. I kindly told a few of them that they were not «selected» to be on «my» team. The team that was going to work with me to get me healthier. I aligned myslef with a caring and open minded internal medicine doctor who respected holistic medicine. She was on my team. Then I set out to find a nutiritionist who would work with me and my doctor in a whole person/​whole body fashion. That’s what led me to Alane at Nutitionally Yours. She listened to my story. We did some lab work and devised a plan. She put me on supplements, took me off dairy, gluten and corn and my life has changed so dramatically that it’s hard for me to even describe.
I’ve lost 17 pounds. I sleep peacefully through the night — every night. I can concentrate throughout the day and have given up all caffeine. Oh and I no longer crave sweets from moring until night. I am energetic and happy! The pain has decreased signficantly and I now exercise 45 minutes/​day — 6 days/​week. Now «my team» consists of a couple of good doctors and Alane at Nutritionally Yours. She helped solve the mystery that was ruining my life and I will be forever grateful.
