When I first visited Dr. Cole, I was in a place where I had recently been diagnosed with an auto-immune condition that was worsening and was negatively impacting my energy and overall quality of life. I had reached the end of what my other physicians (Natural Medicine Doctor, PCP and Endocrinologist) would recommend without more extreme medical intervention being the next step (e.g. surgery – thyroid removal or radioactive iodine). I wasn’t clear on what to do, but surgery seemed like a very drastic next step to me and I wanted to try something else first. I prayed about this conundrum and shortly after I fortuitously stumbled upon an article by Dr. Cole and his approach made perfect sense to me and was exactly what I wanted to try next. When I met him, I was impressed with his knowledge, passion and kindness.

We followed my data to learn more about what was going on physiologically. They provided lots and lots of information and videos to set patients up for success in following the recommended new routine. Throughout the process, his team helps coach on what to do with practical guidance, goals, and built-in accountability and support. It’s a very pro-patient approach to efficiently succeed at significant lifestyle changes. There is no denying, it’s also challenging with a lot of work and commitment required, but it gets easier over time as the new habits are better established.

This is a journey toward optimal health, but so far along the path, after 5 months, I’ve added many new healthy habits, lost weight, and my TSH, in particular, didn’t just improve, but it reached the ‘optimal’ values, which I was told by other doctors was impossible without more extreme interventions. So, that alone is a huge blessing to me!

Significant healthy living transformations are difficult to do alone, so I’m glad I improved my chances of success by seeking guidance and support through Dr. Cole and his team! I highly recommend their approach!
