Overcoming Exhaustion and Brain Fog Through Root Cause Functional Medicine

Before I found Arbor Health, my life was it was difficult. I was feeling tired, I was having a lot of brain fog, I was having a lot of stomach issues. So I did seek out their help in trying to find the root cause of what those issues were. My experience with other doctors was starting with my primary physician. I was diagnosed with a thyroid disorder and was put on medication for that. Was still having stomach issues which they deemed wasn't correlated to my thyroid issue. So saw a gastroenteroentologist and they just really couldn't come up with anything other than IBS. So I was still feeling sick between those two doctors. And that is when I sought out naturopathic help because I really thought there had to be more to my issues. What made me say yes to working with Arbor Health was after meeting with the care team, I really just got a really wonderful, personal feeling from my practitioner, from who my health coach was going to be. They had a lot of great ideas. They were really passionate about finding my root cause, and they were so convinced that I would be able to get the help that I needed. And they just made it really easy and comfortable for me. If there was anything that prevented me from starting with Arbor Health, it would have been the cost. But my overall health was in such bad shape that it was well worth the cost and the investment for my long term health to sign up for the program. I felt supported by the care team at Arbor Health, starting with my health coach, who is the primary point of contact. You have access to the portal 24/7. They are there to answer all of your questions. And she's been completely wonderful and has wonderful ideas and suggestions to even do further research and reading outside of what they had talked about in my sessions with them. My primary care practitioner over there is just she's phenomenal. She's kind and lovely and extremely intelligent and knows exactly how to suggest things that might help me in what I'm looking for at that time. I need different things at different times. And I can't say enough about how responsive they've been with that. What surprised me most about Arbor Health was how passionate each person that I've met and talked to there is. They truly do understand my concerns, my health issues, whether it's mentally, physically, emotionally. They have helped me in all areas for an overall better health. And that was truly surprising having never dealt with that kind of medical program before, only dealing with my primary care physician, to get that one on one care and them to truly feel like they care was very different. What I can do now in my life, now that I work with Arbor Health is I am able to get through my days without feeling exhausted. I also have the knowledge and the ability to know what I can and cannot eat and how far I can push my body physically. Anyone on the fence working with Arbor Health, I would say you need to go for it. Your health is utmost important. Self care, extremely important. That is something I've learned since working with them. I put myself first, mentally and physically. I didn't used to do that, And it has been an extremely life-changing event for me. My family, my husband, my daughter can see that I am much more healthier, mentally and physically, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. All of the people there are just so kind, and they are so knowledgeable. I know that I need them in my corner each and every month as I go on and my life changes and things change, they're there for me. And that has been something I can say that no other medical doctor or physician or group has had my back like that in the past. Amy Petruzzelli, Webster, New York
