Follow-up questions they answered

Is the investment in functional medicine testing worth the cost?
Diane Gowen and her husband decided the investment was worth it because she desperately needed to feel better. She noted that the specialized testing provided insights she could never have received from a regular doctor. — Diane Gowen
Can Enlightened Wellness help with symptoms traditional doctors ignore?
Yes, Diane sought help after an endocrinologist told her there was nothing to be done for her Hashimoto's. Dr. Meg listened to her concerns about post-COVID symptoms and gut issues that other doctors had dismissed. — Diane Gowen
What does the treatment process look like at Enlightened Wellness?
For Diane, the process involved comprehensive testing that identified gut issues, followed by a supplement regimen and working with a nutritionist named Kristin to transition to a gluten-free lifestyle. — Diane Gowen
Is the Eczema Transformation program worth the cost compared to traditional doctors?
Dennis Elwell noted that the program is a great value because families would eventually spend the same amount on endless doctor visits and medications. He emphasized that the program provides a lasting healing philosophy that empowers parents to handle future issues without rushing back to the doctor. — Dennis Elwell
How does this program differ from using steroid creams and balms?
According to Dennis, traditional methods like steroid creams and natural balms acted only as 'band-aids' that provided no long-lasting help. Dr. Ana-Maria Temple's program focused on determining the root issue and fixing it from inside the body rather than just masking symptoms. — Dennis Elwell
Can children with eczema eventually eat dairy and gluten again?
Dennis shared that his daughter, who had to exclude certain foods for years, is now successfully and slowly reintroducing foods. He expressed relief that she can look forward to a future where she doesn't have to constantly ask if food contains dairy or gluten. — Dennis Elwell
