From Gastroparesis Pain to Hiking and Gardening Again with F8 Wellcenters

Dawn (00:00) What I'm doing now I wasn't doing before the is I can actually get out and do stuff. I am back to hiking. can take care of my garden. I'm just back to doing the things that I can do, where before I was in so much pain I couldn't even stand up or walk. I also can now I can - actually I can eat the things that I was told that I couldn't eat before. Lots of good My name is Dawn Hopkins. I live in Boulder, Wyoming on the New Fork River. Before F8 Well Center, I was not doing very well. I had some digestive problems. I had gone to see a gastroenterologist, and they ran some tests and diagnosed me with gastroparesis, and it was a very painful time in my life. I had a difficult time keeping food down. I just could hardly eat anything without getting sick. They worked with me virtually, which was really nice because I didn't feel very well - not well enough to travel at times. And for them to be able to meet with me virtually was wonderful because I could do that in the comfort of my home. What made me say "yes" to ahead and do the treatment plan with F8 Well Center was when I actually got to sit down and talk with Dr. Jake. He talked to both me and my husband to let us know what I can do and I had I was very impressed with the knowledge, the fact that he could actually go through and show you how the systems work. That was very, very, very helpful. So, F8 helped me help myself, which I really appreciated. If there was something that might have kept me from doing the program, it might have been the upfront cost. But overall, when I weighed all of that out, it was very much well worth it for me What surprised me most about the F8 Well Center was that I had an MC that I could check in with every week, especially when I was very, very ill. I loved that. I was surprised to have that. And she was a dietitian, was something I think I knew I needed to have, but I did not know where to go or who to call or anything, so... I have a lifetime of habits that I can live with. I would recommend F8 Well Center because they give you a program to heal yourself. It's a lifestyle that is healthy, that you can continue on for the remainder of your days. I have learned so much from them about myself. That's what I would tell my friends and family. You need to figure out what it is about you that you need to get taken care of and F8 will help you do that.
