I came to Dr
I came to Dr. J after a year of very little progress treating a systemic Candida fungal infection with my conventional doctor. He immediately ran some tests (GI Map, Dutch Adrenal, Organic Acids, etc.) and put me on a strict autoimmune protocol and it became quickly clear that I had some serious food sensitivities that I didn’t already know about (eggs, nuts, etc.) in addition to the sensitivities I did already know about (like gluten and dairy) which were causing some serious inflammation. Testing revealed that I had some adrenal issues and a serious bacterial gut infection that was causing a cascade of problems, including poor digestion, leaky gut, and chronic urinary tract infections, etc. We started treatment and within about 3 months I dropped about 25lbs of stubborn weight that I had been trying to lose for a couple years, my energy and mood improved greatly, and the urinary tract infection, which had been plaguing me for years, disappeared as well. I’ve not yet completed my treatment protocol and am not quite to my goal weight and optimal health, but I’m well on my way. Had I not reached out to Dr. J and gotten the functional testing he ordered and his treatment protocols, who knows where I’d be; most likely exactly where I was with my health continuing to decline at the relative young age of 37. My only regret is that I took so song to reach out to Just In Health. While my own personal research reading books and listening to podcasts (including Dr. J’s Beyond Wellness Radio) was great, ultimately functional testing was required to reveal the root issues. My unsupervised self-experimentation and treatments (especially probiotics) were simply making my condition worse and working with my conventional doctor gave me a very incomplete picture and ultimately no results. Thanks Dr. J for all your help and I look forward to continuing to work with you!
