How I Helped a Client Take Control of Her Health
How I Helped a Client Take Control of Her Heath: Client Testimonial
I form a special connection with all my clients, but some client stories resonate with me more than others. One in particular was one of my younger patients named Lauren, who came to me two years after giving birth to her first child. Please note, client’s name has been changed to respect her privacy.
When Lauren sought out my help, she was truly at her wit’s end. Two years post-partum she was struggling with chronic fatigue, depression, weight gain / inability to lose weight, constipation, and digestive issues. After many visits to the doctor to find the root of the problem, she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Disease. In general, this means her immune system is attacking the thyroid which in turn results in inflammation leading to excess thyroid hormones, or hyperthyroidism. Over time, this inflammation prevents the thyroid from producing enough hormones, meaning hypothyroidism. Because of this many people, including Lauren, have struggle maintaining a healthy weight.
Following the diagnosis, Lauren was put on thyroid medication and sent on her way, as is the case in many traditional doctor-patient relationships. Unfortunately, Lauren’s various symptoms did not subside with the intake of the medication. Frustrated and determined to find an answer, she continued seeking out medical attention only to be told the same thing by multiple different endocrinologists: “You just aren’t trying hard enough, we’ll increase the dosage of your medication.” This is the terrible reality of many people struggling with health conditions, but fortunately for Lauren my approach turned her life around.
When Lauren came to me and explained everything she had been struggling with, I was shocked that none of the doctors and endocrinologists had investigated it further. Lauren had been struggling with chronic constipation issues for her entire life, never realizing how she was feeling was abnormal.
Today, after working closely with me and taking complete advantage of my services, Lauren is living her happiest and healthiest life. She has replaced her prescription thyroid medication completely with diet and supplements, which gives her the energy she needs to keep up with her energizer-bunny three-year-old all day! In addition, she has lost 40 pounds and has corrected all the digestive issues she came to me with, which makes a huge difference in how she feels.
Unlike her first pregnancy, Lauren didn’t have to worry about the threat of gestational diabetes during her second childbirth. In fact, she went through that pregnancy feeling healthier than ever – a complete difference from the first time around!
“Aubrey’s extensive knowledge and guidance has quite honestly changed my life and I feel more control over my health than I ever have before.”
