The interview

How do you feel after working with F8 Wellcenters?

I feel like I'm aging backwards at this point. I have energy, nothing hurts in my body. I've lost a lot of weight, like 20 pounds, and even my hormone issues are starting to get ironed out. I just feel like a whole new person.

What was your health situation before finding F8 Wellcenters?

Back in 2016, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. By October of last year, my health was really declining. I saw a naturopath who put me on levothyroxine and I got so much worse. I felt like I was going to have to close my business. I had brain fog, my whole body ached, I had bloating, and I felt like I was dying, literally.

How did you discover F8 Wellcenters and Dr. Ben?

I was looking on TikTok and F8 came up. Dr. Ben was talking and I felt like he was talking to me. He mentioned that levothyroxine is not the solution and that it's not the thyroid that's the problem. I took a chance and messaged him saying, 'I want to do this.'

What surprised you most about the F8 Wellcenters process?

All of the different meetings. You're not just meeting with the doctor, you're meeting with a metabolic doctor. I've been working with Shauna usually every week. They are catering everything specifically to my needs; it's not just a drug, it's a whole regime and lifestyle change just for me.

Who would you recommend this program to?

I would recommend F8 Wellcenter to family, friends, anyone. I plan to really promote them because I just want people to feel good like I do.

Frequently asked

Is levothyroxine the only solution for thyroid issues?

Amy Mader found that levothyroxine actually made her symptoms worse. She sought out F8 Wellcenters after hearing Dr. Ben explain that the thyroid is often not the primary problem, but rather a symptom of a deeper root cause.

How does F8 Wellcenters differ from a standard naturopath?

Amy noted that F8 Wellcenters provides a more comprehensive team approach, including weekly meetings with a metabolic doctor like Shauna. This ensures the program is a personalized lifestyle regime rather than just a single prescription.

Can functional medicine help with menopause and bloating?

Yes, Amy reported that after starting her F8 Wellcenters program, her hormone issues began 'ironing out' and her severe bloating and menopause-related discomfort significantly improved.
