The interview

What was your life like before working with Dr. Ian?

Before working with Dr. Ian, I had about 6 to 7 months of being sick. I had vertigo, and every week it felt like I got a new symptom. Local doctors told me I had a thyroid problem, and I was desperate at the time.

What made you decide to trust Dr. Autoimmune?

After our first consultation, he looked at my blood work and he really gave me more answers after one meeting than the past six months of me going to various doctors. He really opened my eyes to what was going on with my body.

How did this approach differ from previous treatments you tried?

I went to several different doctors and even tried a different healthcare company, and pretty much they just prescribed more pills. Dr. Ian showed me how they were hurting me instead of helping me. Everybody just wanted to give you more pills for sickness instead of finding the root cause.

What surprised you most about the process?

What surprised me most was Dr. Ian's knowledge. His knowledge is very in-depth. Just looking at my blood work, he knew how everything correlated and was able to put me on the right path to healing.

What was it like working with the nutrition team?

He assigns you a nutritionist, Stevie. She's the one that stays on top of me and makes sure my nutrition's good and I'm eating right. She builds your plans for you and works around what you like and what you don't like. It was very helpful.

What physical results have you noticed since starting?

I feel like my life's back to normal again. I have energy so I can play with my kids. I got my second set of labs back and had progress on almost all my results; everything's trending better. Also, it wasn't my goal to lose weight, but eating correctly, I have lost about 30 pounds.

Who would you recommend Dr. Autoimmune to?

I highly recommend Dr. Ian to anybody that's been to all the doctors and haven't got no answers. If you're telling them 'I don't feel well' and they're saying 'there's nothing wrong with you,' that's why I recommend Dr. Ian. He's pulled me out of that.

Frequently asked

Will Dr. Autoimmune just prescribe more pills for my symptoms?

No. Bryce Runyon noted that while previous doctors just prescribed more pills that were 'hurting instead of helping,' Dr. Ian focused on finding the root cause and using nutrition to heal.

How does Dr. Autoimmune help with nutrition and meal planning?

Bryce worked with a dedicated nutritionist, Stevie, who stayed on top of his eating habits, built custom plans around his preferences, and ensured he stayed on task with his healing path.

Can functional medicine help if my blood work looks 'normal' to other doctors?

Yes. Bryce was told by other doctors that everything was fine despite feeling unwell; however, Dr. Ian analyzed his blood work to validate his symptoms and identify specific areas for improvement.
