On the Road to Recovery …Nutrition Therapy is an Essential Part of Healthcare!

My issues began with symptoms of constant diarrhea, fatigue, stomach cramps, feeling full quickly and poor digestion and absorption of my food which lead to significant weight loss.  This was soon after discontinuing many years of a PPI (acid reducer) with history of GERD and a fundoplication.   While out of town, I received emergency care and was sent home without any diagnosis and a round of antibiotics. Upon returning to Sarasota, my GI doctor unavailable and I continued a downward slide of symptoms and weight loss. Julie was recommended to me and she took me quickly learning of my symptoms.  After recording all the info she needed, we began a program of clinical recovery while she obtained access to a GI doctor on my behalf.

I experienced immediate improvement as soon as I followed Julie’s instructions. After much testing, a diagnosis was obtained of pancreatic insufficiency and likely gluten intolerance. As the severity of the symptoms subsided, I knew I had the right team.

Through all of my discussions with Julie, I learned about the importance of a balanced, healthy gut microbiome and understood the consequences of the imbalance. My experience also demonstrated the importance of a healthy diet as prescribed by Julie.

I am now on the road to recovery by following Julie’s recommendations for diet, supplement, and lifestyle interventions. I am aware of my situation and the possible outcomes. As I learned about the gut microbiome, I noticed the benefits of getting and keeping it healthy as I became aware of some symptoms of imbalance that disappeared as I improved.

With Julie’s kind and gentle direction as well as availability to hold my hand and walk me through the steps to recovery, answering all my questions thoroughly, I am now able to act more calmly, enjoy healthy meals, stabilize my weight, and have lost interest in foods such as sugar, most dairy and the unhealthy forms of grains. Julie didn’t just provide instruction and guidance but explanation of future challenges that could occur.

Nutrition therapy is an essential part of healthcare and it does not get any better than working with Julie
