How Root-Cause Healing Transformed My Client’s Health

I’m excited to share a client success story that showcases the importance of addressing health issues at the root. If you’ve struggled with sugar cravings, weight cycling, or managing PCOS symptoms, this story might feel all too familiar—and hopeful!

When my client came to me, years of dieting had left her metabolism sluggish, and her sugar cravings were out of control. She also dealt with stubborn PCOS symptoms like weight loss resistance, acne, PMS, and mood swings. Together, we dove deeper to uncover what was really going on.

Here’s how we helped her:

1. Balancing Blood Sugar to Reduce Cravings
   We began by stabilizing her blood sugar, which had been causing those intense sugar cravings and energy crashes. By creating a tailored nutrition plan, we balanced her energy levels, and she saw a dramatic reduction in her cravings. Learning how to recognize her hunger and fullness cues helped her consistently nourish her body and feel more in control.

2. Hormone Testing with the DUTCH Test
   We ran a DUTCH test to dig deeper into her hormonal imbalances. The results were eye-opening—her androgen levels were off the charts! High androgens are common in PCOS and were responsible for her weight loss resistance, acne, and mood swings. Having this deeper insight allowed us to take a more targeted approach in addressing her hormonal issues.

3. Supporting Natural Detox Pathways
   Instead of relying on medications, we focused on supporting her body’s natural detox pathways to help clear out those excess hormones. By improving her detoxification process, we saw significant improvements in her symptoms: her skin began to clear, her mood stabilized, and her weight started to shift. Balancing her hormones gave her the relief she had been searching for.

4. Correcting Nutrient Deficiencies and Replenishing Minerals
   One of the key pieces of this client’s transformation was identifying and correcting her nutrient deficiencies, as minerals and nutrients are essential cofactors that support metabolism, hormone production, detoxification, and digestion.By addressing these  deficiencies and replenishing her depleted stores—drained by years of dieting—we helped her body function optimally. This led to significant improvements in her PCOS symptoms. Most rewarding of all, after struggling to conceive, she was able to get pregnant naturally. 

Why Getting to the Root of the Problem Matters

This case study is a great reminder that real healing happens when we address the underlying causes of symptoms. By balancing her blood sugar, correcting her hormone imbalances (especially her high androgens), and replenishing key nutrients and minerals, we helped her regain control of her health. She no longer struggles with cravings, her PCOS symptoms are under control, and she has the energy to live the life she desires while feeling confident in her body.
