The interview
How did you feel before you started working with Natalie at Bluestem Nutrition?
Before I started working with her, I felt very, very sick. I was losing 30 pounds in four months. I thought I was going to die, so I had lots of symptoms. I had gut issues, gut pain, dizziness, panic attacks, anxiety. I couldn't sleep well during the night. I had internal tremors, red spots on my legs and my hands. I couldn't focus very well, so I couldn't work. I had to stop working.
Had you sought help from other professionals before finding Bluestem Nutrition?
I had sought care from three other healthcare professionals without any benefits. So I found myself sicker and sicker and my health declined severely.
What was your initial impression of Natalie's approach?
I like her approach. She wanted to discover the root of my problems first before she developed a treatment plan for me or a diet plan because of her specialty and knowledge regarding GI disorders and GI imbalances. I fully trusted her from the beginning.
What kind of results did you experience during the treatment?
After I started working with Natalie, I saw improvements from one month to another. It was a long recovery because of my health problems. She was the one that got me where I'm at right now because I regain my health and my energy, and I can work, and I know I can focus. I can do whatever I want.
How has your diet and daily life changed since finishing the protocol?
I can eat foods that I couldn't eat before. I no longer have the aches and pains and gastrointestinal problems that I used to have and I regain my physical strength. I feel more energetic right now and I can eat different kind of foods that I couldn't eat before. So I can enjoy life right now. I can go out to the restaurants with my family and with my friends and life is different now.
Was the financial investment in your health worth it?
The investment is worth it because I was sick. I thought I was going to die. As I told you, I had already spent lots of money with other doctors, with other healthcare professionals on treatments, and I was still dying. It's worth like every penny working with Natalie.
How has this transformation impacted your role as a father and husband?
I'm a better husband and father for my kids because now I can teach them the way they should eat in a healthier way. Since I'm feeling much better, I can spend more time with my family and I can focus on my family and on my kids.
