The interview
Can you describe Dr. Meg's approach to patient care?
I would say that Dr. Meg is very kind, very patient. She listens to you and she tries to get to the root of the problem instead of just fixing the symptoms. She just takes the time to explain everything and give me ideas of what to do. She's very thorough.
What health challenges led you to seek help?
About two years ago I had an inflammation in my eyes, which is called uveitis. My eye doctor recommended a rheumatologist because that could be a sign of arthritis. My antibodies were very high. My family doctor sent me to an endocrinologist and he determined that I had Hashimoto's.
What was your experience with traditional medical specialists?
With the endocrinologist, that's where it ended. He said, 'I'm sorry, I can't do anything for you. I'll see you in a year.' He also asked me if I had had any viruses; I said I had a really bad case of COVID back in 2020 and he said, 'oh, that has nothing to do with it.' But I haven't felt the same since then.
How did the testing at Enlightened Wellness differ from previous experiences?
She ran a bunch of very - Like, I would have never gotten the testing done from a regular doctor. And then she found out that I had some issues in my gut and then she put me on some stuff to heal that. The testing that you get, I couldn't see my regular doctors doing any of that testing.
What specific changes did you make to your lifestyle and diet?
Plus working with nutritionist, Kristin, I went completely gluten-free. I'm still taking a lot of the supplements. My husband and I decided it was worth it. Like, it just - I had to feel better.
What results have you noticed since starting the program?
Well, I'm sleeping better and my stomach's better. I have more energy. I think the amount of time that she spent with me, she didn't rush me through and, like, didn't blow off my symptoms.
Frequently asked
Is the investment in functional medicine testing worth the cost?
Diane Gowen and her husband decided the investment was worth it because she desperately needed to feel better. She noted that the specialized testing provided insights she could never have received from a regular doctor.
Can Enlightened Wellness help with symptoms traditional doctors ignore?
Yes, Diane sought help after an endocrinologist told her there was nothing to be done for her Hashimoto's. Dr. Meg listened to her concerns about post-COVID symptoms and gut issues that other doctors had dismissed.
What does the treatment process look like at Enlightened Wellness?
For Diane, the process involved comprehensive testing that identified gut issues, followed by a supplement regimen and working with a nutritionist named Kristin to transition to a gluten-free lifestyle.
