I have my life back!
I used to run/hike miles every week, also resistance training at the gym and I had a physical job. Then 5 years ago my health started to deteriorate but I tried to carry on. Then 3 years ago I hit a brick wall and could not get up. I had the most debilitating fatigue. I could not even leave the house walking, nevermind exercise. I had to give up my job. I had horrible nerve pain. I was having awful menopause symptoms. My sleep was non-existent. I had to eat every 2 hours just to not crash. My diet was so restricted as I could not seem to tolerate any of the food I used to eat. I was in so much pain in my muscles and joints most of the time. I had a whole cupboard full of supplements which were so expensive and I hated taking them. It was very difficult mentally, not knowing what was wrong and how to fix it. There is also a stigma around this kind of illness that other people, because they can’t see anything, think you should just pull yourself together. If only! I saw my GP, had tests and nothing showed up. I knew there was more to it. I went down the natural route of all the treatments you can think of: acupuncture, kinesiology, reflexology, TCM to name a few. All the while I was constantly researching and came across Functional Medicine. Again, nothing of significance was found in my comprehensive tests. I was at the end of my tether when my husband came across Dr Dylan and Optimal Circadian Health. Dr Dylan sounded like he knew exactly what my family and I had been going through and it looked like he could help with all of my health problems. We had a great chat with Dr Dylan who said he could definitely help me so we signed up to his program. Just from that first call I started to believe there was now hope. I was astounded that within the first week of the program they had me eating just 3 meals a day without crashing and I was off most of my supplements. As the days and weeks progressed there were so many landmarks. My pain disappeared, I was able to walk (up hill to). I was able to start cleaning my house. My tinnitus disappeared. My mood improved. My energy levels started to increase. My chemical sensitivity improved. My range of food also increased. My sleep has really improved which is huge for me! I can actually get back to sleep after waking in the early hours and I am getting 7.5 hours of sleep a night. My weight had plummeted to around 8 stone and is now back up to my ideal weight and a healthy 10 stone. This has happened very gradually which is perfect. The help, care and support I have received from Dylan and Molly is so unique and so all-encompassing it has been phenomenal. I have felt completely safe and comfortable working with them right from the beginning. Their patience is exemplary. Dylan and Molly are completely human as Drs. They have been through stuff too and provide genuine empathy and care. There is also a great sense of fun on the program and Dylan is never short of a quip or two to keep us all smiling. I have my life back in ways I never thought would be possible. I have energy! I can now walk outside, I can spend time participating in life with my family. I eat a variety of foods. I am much stronger. I had forgotten what it was like to wake up feeling refreshed and ready for the day.
