Follow-up questions they answered

How do I find an evidence-based functional health program?
Suzanne Subaitani filtered through many programs specifically looking for one that was evidence-based and on the cutting edge of research. She chose the Institute of Restorative Health because it provided a deep understanding of how the human body works through a systematic, research-backed program. — Suzanne Subaitani
Can functional health protocols help with chronic gut infections like H. pylori?
Yes, Suzanne Subaitani used the program's protocols to overcome devastating gut issues caused by H. pylori, parasites, and the subsequent damage from heavy antibiotics. The program taught her how to repair the 'terrain' of the gut rather than just treating the infection. — Suzanne Subaitani
Is the Institute of Restorative Health curriculum immediately applicable?

Is Laura Frontiero's program worth it if I have no medical symptoms?
Dinesh Mistry was initially skeptical because he had no medical symptoms, but joined after seeing his wife's progress. He found the knowledge, honesty, and community support to be a 'real investment' for long-term health. — Usha & Dinesh Mistry
What was the value of Laura's program for you?
The value of Laura's program, I cannot put a price to it. I had gone to just improve my gut health, which I knew was connected to little issues and other things in my body. The guest speakers she invites to her sessions are excellent. — Usha & Dinesh Mistry
What health issues were you facing before joining?
Before joining Laura's program, I was going through low energy. I had a stiff back in the morning, poor digestion, inflammation, sleep issues, and I also have high BP. These were little things that doctors never considered a big problem, even though they were becoming a problem to me. — Usha & Dinesh Mistry
