The interview

What are you able to do now that you weren't able to do before the program?

I'm able to get around comfortably. My joints don't hurt. I can go up and down the stairs. I can walk. I can get on the ground and work out. I'm gonna have my first grandchild, and I'll be able to hold her. I feel so much better. I'm able to do everything that I should've been able to do for the last 20 years.

What surprised you the most about working with the Vitality Renewal team?

The personalization and the authentic approach to every level of my care, whether it was looking at a blood panel or taking a deeper dive into specificities. They truly listened and would cater my program of care every step of the way. They weren't just giving me medications; they were giving me vitamins and supplements that my body needed to feel my best.

How quickly did you see results in your health markers?

What surprised me the most was how fast I had noticeable differences in my blood tests. In three months, I lowered my bad cholesterol by 100 points. I lowered my A1C enough to bring me out of the pre-diabetic range. C-reactive protein, or my measure of inflammation, also decreased by several points. In just three months' time, I noticeably felt better, slept better, and had lost 15 pounds.

What made you decide to work with Dr. Karney specifically?

At the root, at the core, it's Dr. Karney and her belief system and her ability to help me feel like her and I together could get where I wanted to go. I never felt like she would just spew information without really listening to what was important to me. Immediately, I felt a connection with her.

What is your health status today compared to when you started?

I never thought I would be where I'm at today. I do no longer take high blood pressure medicine. I went from 50 units to 10 units of insulin. In the last six months, my numbers have been amazing. It's a gift that I didn't know I was gonna be able to reach.

Frequently asked

Is the investment in functional medicine worth the cost?

The patient admitted it took a long time to reach a point where she was willing to invest in herself. However, after reaching a 'low place' with her health, she found that the personalized care and life-changing results at Vitality Renewal justified the investment.

What I'm able to do now that I wasn't able to do before the program is get around comfortably. My joints don't hurt. I can go up and down the stairs. I can walk. I can get on the ground and work out. I'm gonna have my first grandchild, and I can, I'll be able to hold her. I feel so much better. I'm able to do everything that I should've been able to do for the last 20 years. What surprised me the most about working with the vinal- Vitality Renewal team was the personalization and the authentic approach to every level of my care, whether it was looking at a blood panel, taking a deeper dive into specificities of that. The opportunity to have group education, as well as individual education for my own personal care. So whether that would be how two vitamins may interact, or whether it was a piece of my health profile that wasn't functioning to the manner by which I wanted it to. They truly listened. They truly listened and would cater my program of care every step of the way. They weren't just giving me medications. They were giving me vitamins and supplements that I needed to feel better. Like, I feel like you go to a regular doctor and they're just like, "Oh, you're depressed. Take a anti-depression pill," or, "It's your cholesterol. Take this." And I think with them it was more about giving me the right vitamins and supplements that my body needed to feel my best. What surprised me the most about working with them was how fast I had noticeable differences in my blood tests. In three months, I lowered my bad cholesterol by 100 points. I lowered my A1C enough to bring me out of the pre-diabetic range. C-reactive protein, or my measure of inflammation in my body, also decreased by several points. And in just three months' time, I noticeably felt better, slept better, and had lost 15 pounds. What made me say yes to Dr. Carney is just Dr. Carney. At the root, at the core, it's Dr. Carney a- and her belief system and her ability to help me feel like her and I together could get where I wanted to go. I never felt like she would just spew information and, and give me thoughts or ideas without really listening to what was important to me. That I really, really appreciate about her. I never thought I would be where I'm at today. I do no longer take, uh, high blood pressure medicine. I went from 50 units to 10 units of insulin. In the last six n- months, my numbers have been amazing. It's a gift that I didn't know I was gonna be able to reach. Sometimes it makes me emotional because it's so cool to go in and not have somebody, like, "Okay, I'm feeling this way," but not say, "Well, here, let me write you a prescription for this." And it's like, "Okay, let's see what's going on. Let's do some blood work." And so they're always on top of it, and I'm just so thankful. Immediately, I felt a connection with Dr. Carney. She listened to what I was experiencing. She didn't pressure me, but really talked about some solutions that would work for me. It took a long time for me to get to a point where I was willing to invest in myself, but I got to that low place. After meeting Dr. Carney and her team, I felt like there was a group of people that I could trust to help me get to the place where I wanted to be, where I know I was before, where I needed to be.
