Frequently asked
- Is the Urban Monk retreat worth the financial investment?
- Laura Bierwagen initially needed to justify the cost, which she did by focusing on the opportunity to discuss the 'Upstream' microbiome program directly with Pedram Shojai. Ultimately, she concluded the experience is a 'gift to yourself' that provides value in ways you cannot anticipate. — Laura Bierwagen
- How did you feel before engaging with the program?
- I did feel an emotional shift. I had been struggling personally with where am I gonna go? I was on crutches for 10 years, and I had horrible autoimmune arthritis and chronic pain and just it was ... It hurt to move at all. — Laura Bierwagen
- What was your motivation for joining the Urban Monk Academy and attending the retreat?
- I wanted to be in the room with Pedram. I have been a member of the Urban Monk Academy for a long time. I know that he is science-based. If he says something, he's got evidence and he knows it. I also wanted to talk to him about Upstream, a program talking about the microbiome. — Laura Bierwagen
- Does Reimagined Health work if you have a medical background and are skeptical of supplements?
- Nikki, who works in the medical field, was an extreme skeptic of the 'naturalistic side' and changing diet or supplements. However, she followed the program religiously and was 'glad they made a fool out of her' when the results proved her skepticism wrong. — Nikki Tuchek
- Is the online Zoom format effective for medical consultations?
- Nikki initially hesitated because the program was entirely online and she worried about never being with a doctor one-on-one. Despite these concerns, the virtual format delivered life-changing results including a successful pregnancy. — Nikki Tuchek
- Can functional medicine help with low AMH levels?
- According to Nikki's husband Joe, her AMH levels actually went up during the program. He noted that while everything they read said it was impossible for those levels to increase, seeing that change is what made him believe in the program. — Nikki Tuchek
