The interview

What was your life like before working with Indigo Health?

Before working with Indigo Health, my life was hectic, and I had several health issues. I felt like I wasn't being heard by my health professional, my doctors, anyone I spoke to really. I had several visits to the ER. I had seen every type of specialist under the sun, and I just...I felt very lonely.

What made you decide to say yes to Indigo Health?

The thing that made me say yes to Indigo Health was reading through their reviews. I noticed that a lot of people felt like they were being listened to. It was after talking to the doctor at Indigo Health that I felt like, this is the person I want to trust with this journey. I felt safe with her. I felt heard with her.

Were there any obstacles that almost prevented you from starting?

What specific health issues were you facing?

I have several autoimmune conditions, and I was on antidepressants. I was on a very heavy sleep medicine. I was taking a thyroid medicine that I just didn't feel was working for me. And I just always felt exhausted.

What was the treatment process like with Dr. Sharkar?

Dr. Sharkar and I, we did a deep dive into everything that included my vitamins, my hormones, my adrenals. And we slowly started working on what needed improvement.

How has your health changed since starting the program?

My health has changed dramatically. I got off of the antidepressants. I got off of the sleep medicine. I have energy. So pretty much every aspect of my life has just become better. My life now looks like what I would expect a healthy 30 year old to look like. I have a lot more mental clarity. I can keep up with my baby.

What surprised you most about the experience?

What surprised me the most about Indigo Health was the type of operation that they have. They make it so easy for you to take this very complicated journey. I was also very surprised by the communication that her entire team has. They hold your hand the entire way.
