Client Testimonial:

Erin went to another practitioner that heavily focused on hormone replacement. Her top complaints included irregular menstrual cycles and feeling inflamed. She left with a prescription for progesterone and supplements to support her adrenal glands.

Their Findings:

• Inflammation
• Low progesterone
• Low estrogen
• High free cortisol

Second opinion: 

After a year had elapsed, Erin felt there was more to the story and wanted to understand why her progesterone was low. She sought out Fully Alive, and we took the testing the prior practitioner performed and ran a few specific panels to see her current levels.

Our Findings:

• More inflamed than previously
• Now prediabetic
• Insulin resistant

Plan: 

Erin had done a good job of prioritizing rest, but her stress response evaluation showed she was sympathetic dominant (stuck in fight-or-flight). Erin rented a BrainTap, had two biofeedback sessions, and scheduled a few emotion code appointments. Erin was encouraged to increase anti-inflammatory foods high in polyphenols and fiber. She removed grain from her diet. Erin started on a different supplement regimen that focused on reducing inflammation, feeding her body specific nutrients to improve hormone health, improving liver health, and supporting her glutathione production. Her bioidentical progesterone was gradually replaced with Chaste Tree as she preferred to use supplements over compounded hormone replacement.

Results:

Erin is no longer prediabetic, and her inflammation marker is reduced by half! Her menstrual cycles went from 70-80 days to 35-40 days, which is her baseline. While her cycles still fluctuate, she is getting closer to maintaining her baseline. We are still working on insulin resistance. Erin was able to achieve these results during a difficult season in caretaking for her young family and an aging parent with serious health needs.

Erin: “I am so happy to understand the drivers for my altered labs and the specific steps I needed to do to take my health back. Jenny supported me all the way. I really think adding the nervous system work with emotional work was a game changer. I am really happy with my care and can’t recommend Jenny enough!”
