Female Hormonal Problems/Menopause/PMS/PCOS

I came to Alternacare with a multitude of medical issues. My cardiologist asked me to consider lap band procedure to lose weight. My Endocrinologist wanted to put me on an insulin pump. I was taking 8 shots a day (3 types of insulin). I was having hot flashes all the time.  I received a brochure in the mail inviting me to take a workshop at Alternacare.

After a short period of time I have lost 28 pounds, no longer have hot flashes and take NO Insulin shots.

Alternacare has changed my life-It is truly a God Send!

I started seeing Dr. Rob about 2 months ago.  I had not been feeling well for a couple of years and the medical community did not fix me even though I had spent thousands.   I got so tired of being sick and tired that I said that is it, I’m going to do something about it.  The truth is, I could not do the will of God because my body was hindering me and I knew it.   I had worked for years getting my spirit strong and my soul clean of past issues but that body just wasn’t lining up!  

 Anyway, after being on a program for 6 weeks now, I feel better than I have in I can’t remember how long.   I no longer have migraines, dizziness, hormone issues, pain all over my body, sleeplessness and the list goes on.   I feel more calm, balanced, mentally alert and my energy is returning more each week.  Praise the Lord!  It’s like I am born again, again!   I am so gratefully that you both went and brought the wisdom back to the body of Christ.   We are going to get Mike tested next and I can’t wait for him to feeling good as well.  I’ve been telling everyone about it too in hopes of helping others.    

Here is a nugget that I have learned thus far:  Change takes commitment and I am finding that many are not committed to longevity and just want an instant miracle.   God can and does do instant miracles as we both know but it’s about living long to do the complete will of God and being a good steward of your soul, spirit and body.  Let me say, I am in it for the long haul and I recognized that I needed to change in order to do the will of God. 

 So my friends, thank you so much for passing the good word along.   I have asked the Lord to bless you greatly for it!

 Love and blessings,

After having my hysterectomy a year ago I began to have major hot flashes and night sweats.  I also noticed a lack of energy, always feeling tired and most recently weight gain even though I exercise and go to the gym at least 3 days a week.  Since I’ve been coming to Alternacare for the past three months my energy levels has greatly improved, my hot flashes and night sweats have greatly decreased and my weight is steadily going down.  The staff at Alternacare is very friendly and helpful.  I would highly recommend Alternacare to all my family and friends.

I came into Alternacare wanting to lose weight and try and control hot flashes.  After a little over a month, my hot flashes are 100% better.  My weight is also better.  I still have alot more weight to lose in order to reach my goal, but with the help of Alternacare I feel sure I will reach this goal!  I am very excited and looking forward to this summer in a new bathing suit!

Thank You Alternacare!

SLEEP/LOW ENERGY/HOT FLASHES

I kept getting the flyer with the body types on them.  I read some testimonies and decided to attend the next Healthy Self workshop. I was impressed and decided to join Alternacare to see what could be done for me. I was having problems with sleep, my energy level was low. I had extreme hot flashes, weight gain, and brain fog.  After various tests to determine what I needed to do to improve by body internally (toxins) I was on my way.  After 3 weeks following the program, my hot flashes were gone. I have more energy, rest well at night and wake up refreshed, my thought process has improved. My hair was really rough and I couldn’t do much with it, now it is softer and more manageable. I lost weight and I feel like a person in control again. I am glad that I decided to go to Alternacare.

Many thanks to the staff, Dr. DeBease and Dr. Truax who worked with me on a constant basis.

Eloise Porterfield.JPGWhen I first came to Alternacare I was on medications for allergies and hot flashes, which were out of control. I was over weight, had knee pain, back pain and memory problems. After all my treatment recommendations by Dr. Poli and his staff, I no longer take any medication I was so dependent on. I lost 22 pounds, my memory has improved 100% and I truly feel like a new person. Alternacare treats the source of the problem through natural means, opposed to taking medications, which just treats the symptoms. Thank you Alternacare for helping me to do what I could have never done on my own.
 
Love,

KIM SHARKEY 002.JPGI am a 50 year old female and I am going through premenopause I began having severe hot flashes several times a day. I went to my gynecologist and she prescribed a topical hormone (a compound that I would rub into my skin everyday.) I gained 10 pounds within the next two months. I came to Dr. Poli and he put me on some natural supplements. I stopped taking the hormones. Within the first two weeks, I had lost six of the ten pounds and have not had any hot flashes at all! I am sleeping wonderfully and have lots of energy.
 
I also received Chiropractic care at Alternacare and after I started having upper back and neck pain. I would exercise, walk and do zumba, or play tennis but the bottoms of my feet would “burn” terribly. It felt like tiny needles were being stuck in my feet. When I would walk, my right hip would hurt so I stopped exercising. I came to Alternacare and had x-rays taken. I began having chiropractic adjustments, and all of my symptoms have drastically improved.   At one time, my hands started tingling and feeling numb at nighttime. After having adjustments, this numbness has totally gone away.

Sonia Frank august.JPG My name is Sonia Frank.  I’m 51 year old and, what anyone would consider living a pretty healthy life style, but still struggling with my weight.   Hypothyroid was also part of my life, along  with Fibromyalgia.  Two years ago I made the best decision of my life, “I quit smoking “cold turkey.”  I started feeling better the minute I stopped, even though I wasn’t a heavy smoker.  Then came a little bit of the problem, my clothes were getting tighter, months went by, and then menopause became a friend along with my weight problems.  Even though my size wasn’t that bad (8-10), my problem was buying pants.  I was getting worse and worse, everything was going to my tummy and started looking like my front was my back, I became very depressed and frustrated specially considering that I worked out almost 2 hours a day and was eating a very healthy diet, even had my own trainer at the gym!  I also tried many things that they claimed would help you lose weight. I would lose maybe a pound or two, but the sizes stayed the same.
The beginning of last year came to the point that even though, it scared me to death, I was going to get a tummy tuck!  I ended up going to my family practitioner and gave it another try.  He prescribed me Adipex,,, OMG lost 5 pounds but almost killed me,,, I felt like a 80 year old woman, all this within 3 weeks.   I shop at Publix and have looked at that sign for Dr Rob’s clinic (ALTERNACARE)  many times, and finally one day, I got the courage to go in. ”That day changed my life”.  We started the program without some of my lab results and I gained more weight, my world came down and start thinking OMG what have I done?  Another, take my money deal,,,,,,,,That’s when I met Dr. Rob and he explained to me that I needed to be patient, as well as wait for the lab results so he can do his job.  Boy was he right!!  He started the treatment and like magic, I started saying bye bye to my pounds, but most important to my inches, I felt like my life was beginning!  I was no longer having hot flashes, my migraines were going away, and I was getting “My sexy back!   I lost over 20 pounds and many inches and have gained back my confidence and many more positive things.  My pouch is no longer with me.  I went for my thyroid appointment last Friday and the Dr. was stunned when he saw me, especially when he  looked at my lab results and my levels were better!   Oh, did I mention that all this has been happening in less them 4 months?  You read right, now my son has become a patient for different reasons, and my husband will be next.  If you’re like me a couple of months ago, don’t wait, I promise that the Dr. will help change your life.  I will always be grateful to him and the rest of the staff.

God bless them all

Melanie Pourhassan.jpgWhen I first started Alternacare I had terrible headaches, rash, sweats and problems with my menstrual cycle. Since starting treatment my headaches and sweats are gone. My menstrual cycle is back to normal and I’ve lost 25 pounds.
Thank you Dr. Poli and to the whole Alternacare staff.

LINDA RAHN.JPG….. I was complaining of hot flashes, unable to lose weight, insomnia, no energy, forgetfulness, and sinus problems. Here it is September and I’ve come a long way. I’m 31 lbs from goal, my energy level is great, my forgetfulness is much better, my insomnia is gone, my sinuses are much better, and my hot flashes are rare and only at night when I have them. I feel so much better. I’ve learned what’s good for me and what to avoid in the food line so that I can keep myself where I need to be. My experience here has been good and helpful. The staff is very nice and helpful.
Thank you,

Linda Rahn

Gail Sims.JPGPrior to my visit at Alternacare, I always felt conscious of what I wore. I always had a bloated stomach, my feet were swollen and needless to say I couldn’t get a full night of sleep. But I can say that I’m sleeping now, my feet aren’t swollen any more, and yes my stomach isn’t bloated. I have been trying on clothes and I’m amazed at the changes in such a short time frame. I can truly say…. Oh Happy Day since I’ve met the staff at Alternacare.

Before I started coming to Alternacare, I was having a lot of digestive issues, which were putting me to bed. I had gone to a regular doctor some years ago. They did not do any labs but told me I had acid reflux and a spastic colon. He then gave me different medications to take, which would help at times. Over the years it just got worse along with other problems. Some of those, not being able to sleep well most nights and getting hot at night, even when the air was turned down to 67 degrees. I started to just not to feel most days and felt older than I was. I knew I needed to do something but was not sure what. I first came to Alternacare because I was having back issues and then found out about the holistic care that was being offered there. A workshop and a few labs later, I feel wonderful. I have not had any digestive issues for the 6 weeks that I have been going to Alternacare. I am even sleeping better and not getting hot at night any more. I would recommend Alternacare to anyone! I truly feel like I have chosen the right path for my health and gotten back myself once more! Thank you Dr. Rob and Dr. Poli for taking time to care and investing in me.

Laura Dinkins 2.JPGI feel like a new person! I was beginning to lose hope in ever being healthy again and felt like I was actually dying.   I suffered from liver problems, hormonal imbalance, weight gain, fatigue, hot flashes, no sex drive, insomnia and severe depression.   I WAS A TOTAL WRECK!   Not only did I feel awful, it was a challenge just to get out of bed and face another day of feeling miserable.  I knew something was wrong and wanted help.  I had an overwhelming sense of knowing what I was experiencing on a daily basis was not the healthy quality of life I should have.   I went to my doctor for help and after taking a series of lab tests that confirmed my symptoms and conditions, I became more depressed.   I was not happy with the type of traditional treatment of numerous prescribed medications where the side effects were just damaging and would make me feel even worse.   

A friend actually listened to me one day, told me about Alternacare and suggested I go to one of their workshops for more information.   I had some background on the holistic approach to health and wellness, so based on that and through prayer and faith I headed out for the workshop.  Every one of the symptoms I was experiencing was touched upon by Dr. Rob during the workshop.  I knew right then that this was what I was looking for and what I needed.   My consultation with Pam and Dr. Rob gave me hope again.   I received excellent educational advice on how the body works and what my body was doing.  After experiencing their customized treatment program for about five months, I had lab tests redone and to my surprise, EVERY ONE of my lab tests had improved over more than half.  I was absolutely ecstatic!  This has been a totally amazing and very rewarding experience.  I cannot think of another approach to health and wellness than what I am experiencing with Alternacare.  I look forward to my visits and living a healthy life.  Thank you to all, Dr. Rob, Pam, and the entire staff.  This has been an exceptional life altering experience.  God Bless you all!

Debbie Davis_1.jpgI initially sought treatment for menopausal symptoms and weight loss. Over the past one and a half years I slowly put on 15lbs, which affected my overall daily living. In addition, I have lived with sinus allergies for over two and a half years.
 
Once I started uncovering the deficiencies of my health such as adrenal insufficiency and food allergies, I am amazed how greatly improved my quality of life is. My allergies such as sneezing, coughing, post nasal drip and scratchy throat is a thing of the past.  My hot flashes and mood swings have diminished and I have boundless energy. My weight is dropping off now that I know what to eat.
 
I have not felt this healthy in years.

Jane Ray.jpgMy experience has been a very positive one. When I first came, I really didn’t know what to expect. I have been educated on how the body works, which has helped me to understand my care that I am receiving. The workshops are great to help with that.

I had so many problems. I was hormonal, tired all the time, could not sleep through the night, hot flashes, depressed, and aches and pains in my joints. With feeling and questions of WHAT DO I DO TO GET BETTER? I feel I have found the answer.

After seven days on my program, I have lost eight pounds, my energy is improving, I sleep though the night, my vision is better and my joint pain is better. I am so excited about getting well. Now I have hope. One day at a time.

ADDITION:

This is amazing, please realize that after my Bad report I was not able to try to and get the levels down. I had so many things going on with my health that you now understand. with no direction to go. Not until I came to you and started my programs that I began to feel hope and I have been giving IT my All. This is a bonus. I now know that I am getting better. Thanks so much. I only wish others would have an open mind. God Bless Jane Ray

NikiMonk.jpgI first came to Alternacare for several problems. I had horrible stomach pains that would prevent me from eating, otherwise I’d either throw up, have constant burning, or diarrhea! I suffered with severe menstrual problems, which were periods lasting 3 weeks long and than having another 2 weeks of PMS! I also had constant back and knee pains. I was miserable. I started to become very depressed. I had problems with sleep and was gaining weight even though I was barely able to eat anything! I fought with my spouse all the time and never had energy to do anything! I couldn’t even play with my kids! I felt myself withdrawing from people. I didn’t want to do anything except lay in bed! “I felt my whole world caving in!”
Since I started treatment with Alternacare, I no longer have any pain whatsoever, they figured out through testing which foods I couldn’t have, discovered I had an infection that was causing me to stay sick all the time, I am losing about 2 pounds/week, and I can sleep through the night, therefore giving me tons of energy to do the things I want to!
Everyone has noticed the weight loss, my relationship with my spouse is much better, and I have improved my life completely! I haven’t felt this good in years! This was a lifestyle change for me! I have lost a total of 19 lbs and still losing! All of the problems I came in with, are now gone! I am a new me!

I have lost ten pounds and one pant size in three weeks on the Liver Enhancement Diet. I also had trouble sleeping before and took Ambien. I am now completely off of Ambien and sleeping better. My hormones are improving as well.
