From Housebound to Walking One Hour Daily Through Root Cause Gut Healing

I'm Maria Kalevitch and I have a doctorate in biology and microbiology and recently I became a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor and I'm currently residing in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. So Dr. Pedre was really a godsend. For about 18 months, I have been struggling with my health especially my digestive system and as you probably know he is called the America's Gut Doctor, so I'm very glad that I have a chance to work with him. So I had been very busy and my health was important but never had time and never meet the priority and when I had health issues that started about two years ago, that's really made me to think and reevaluate the importance of wellness and well being and taking care of yourself When you go through that journey it's very important for you to have someone who guides you and becomes a partner in that journey, so he really is the one who cares a lot about his patients. The first thing he told me, Maria I'm on your team, I'm your doctor but I'm also part of your team. The team is called Maria and so it was really remarkable for me to hear and gave me hope and chance to really concentrate on my health and knowing that someone is watching my back. Well, I have dealt with various doctors and both in conventional medicine and also in holistic world, functional medicine. But what's important about Dr. Pedre that he doesn't concentrate on my symptoms. He is doing his best to find the root cause of my issues and problems so there is no band aid per se but a solution, long term solution, attainable solution that will help me to recover and enjoy my life, so that's really a big difference between him and conventional medicine. Well, I think he relates very well to his patients and you feel that he truly cares about your success and your well being and I feel like he's very approachable and you can come and ask him any questions you might have. And he really checks on me on a regular basis and we discuss things that are important for my progress. That gives me opportunity to be part of my family, various events and celebrations, my son's birthday is coming soon so I will be able to go and enjoy the time with my family, that's important to me because I was in many ways, housebound in bedbound. So now I can even walk outside, previously I couldn't even do five or seven minutes. My husband was there with me but now I can walk by myself and I do that up to 45 minutes sometimes even an hour, so that's a progress. I really admired him as a doctor and as a human being and very much hope that there will be success in my journey and there will be sustainable solution for my health issues.
