Testimonials

Before I met Dr. Cole, I had been feeling terrible for years. I was in my mid-twenties when my body just felt like it was falling apart. My muscles started hurting, I was always tired no matter how much rest I got, and my brain just didn’t function the way I was used to. I grew up in a farm where I learned to always work hard, and my illness took away my work ethic. At first it was hard to make it through 8 hours of work. Then, 4 hours was difficult. I was only working a few days for a few hours each day. It took me days to recover enough to try to work another day. It always also took me hours to get out of bed. I heard about Dr. Cole on KLOVE and I instantly knew I needed his help. Him and his team looked into everything, ran a bunch of tests and helped me change my life. Less than a year later, I’m back to feeling like me. I’m working full time plus running my own business on the side, and I have energy to play with my girls. I fully believe Dr. Cole saved my life. And I cannot thank him enough.

In November 2015 I was on two types of insulin, one of these medications caused my body to retain fluids, and for a lack of better words, to thicken up. The clothes that I had worn just a month before did not fit. My legs had swollen up and they were seeping fluid, causing the front of my pants legs to become wet. I had to place bandages on them to control the seepage. My wife noticed a program that Dr. Will Cole was presenting on leaky gut syndrome. At first I wasn’t sure that I wanted to attend this lecture but we attended it in December 2015. After listening to Dr. Cole’s presentation I knew that this was something that we had to proceed with. It was one of the best decisions that I have made other than marrying my wife, Valerie. My blood, stool and saliva, specimens were sent to the lab. I learned that I truly have a leaky gut problem. I was allergic to gluten, and had a candida yeast infection. I had low iron and vitamin D deficiency. Since January 2016, following the protocol that Dr. Cole laid out I can say in all honesty I have not felt this good in a long time. I was informed by my endocrinologist that I no longer have to take insulin, and my cardiologist said I could reduce my blood pressure medication. I am now down to one pill a day. My blood pressure is down as well. Since January 2016, I’m down 48 pounds. This is not a diet but a lifestyle change and one that I can say is for the better. My health is better than it has been in a long time. I have more energy and feel good about life in general. I feel good about me.

With just a few weeks on Dr. Cole’s program, my blood sugar is lower and I’m taking less insulin! My joints and muscles are not hurting anymore, and I’ve lost weight! This program is fantastic!

To quote the president of the company I worked for back in 2008, “Christa, you are the sickliest person I know!”. He was right! For years I suffered with out of control thyroid disease (Hashimotos), abdominal issues, brain fog, bronchitis and/or pneumonia on a regular basis, unexplained hives, joint issues, severe allergies…I was always sick. After years of visiting countless physicians and specialists who wanted to throw pills at me to solve my issues, I decided I’d rather learn the drivers of my illness in order to determine the proper solution(s).

Using a functional medicine approach, Dr. Cole identified that food was the underlying driver of the majority of my health issues. He found that I have a sensitivity to gluten and dairy, and provided a specialized diet/protocol to eliminate those foods from my diet and heal my gut. After 15 months of following the protocol, I have seen AMAZING results. My thyroid disease is finally under control. The cyst/nodule I have had on one of my thyroid glands for years has completely disappeared. I have not had bronchitis or pneumonia (or really any sort of a cold) in 15 months. No brain fog. The hives have virtually stopped, and my joints are stronger. My insulin resistance numbers have decreased in half. And lastly, my allergies have significantly improved! Decreasing the inflammation in my body has also resulted in two additional benefits I was not expecting – my eyesight has improved and I lost 10 pounds without even trying.

I never would have dreamed food could impact my health the way it has, but I am now a firm believer in a functional medicine approach to healthcare. Thank you Dr. Cole!!!!
