The interview

What was your primary health challenge before finding Urban Monk?

My gut health was my biggest challenge. I'm generally very healthy otherwise. I had gut issues since my early 20s, but they got quite severe with a lot of bloating, fatigue, brain fog, and constipation just in the last couple of years to the point where I really needed to seek help.

Why did you choose this approach over traditional Western medicine?

I'm a retired RN; I worked in the field for 30 years. I knew what the Western medical model would do for me, and it would not be helpful. Western medicine has its limitations—standardized tests, petrochemicals. They just don't have the freedom to practice true compassionate medicine or the time.

What was the diagnostic process like with Urban Monk?

I discovered I could order a test to see what was going on with my gut, so I did. Then we ordered the whole gut microbiome test, the part that tells you everything. That information is powerful. From there, seeing what we could see, we knew exactly how to treat it with supplements, coaching, guidance, and support.

What was your experience during the first few weeks of the program?

The brain fog and the fatigue were kind of overwhelming 'cause I'm used to being a really active person. The first few weeks of the program were really tough. Lots of changes, lots of things to learn, lots of food restrictions based on what the microbiome test was telling us. But I was so determined and I followed all that.

When did you start to see significant results?

Six weeks in was the real turnaround, and I started feeling so much better. It's so important to follow the plan that they set up for you, and don't cheat. Don't go off the plan because it will just come back to hurt you, and everything will take longer.

How has your life changed since completing the program?

I would say I have a lot more confidence because I feel good. There's nothing worse than the feeling of losing your health; it's very disempowering. To have somebody help you regain it is actually quite empowering. I'm on a much better level of wellbeing. It truly is a life-changing program.

Full transcript

Since working with Urban Monk, my gut health was my biggest challenge. I'm generally very healthy otherwise. And they were able to help me. It was worth the time, the energy, and the money to participate fully in it. My name is Suzanne Scholl. I live outside of Seattle, Washington. I'm a retired RN. I worked in the field for 30 years. So I had gut issues since my early 20s, but they got quite severe with a lot of bloating, fatigue, brain fog, constipation just in the last couple of years to the point where I really needed to seek help. And I knew what the Western medical model would do for me, and it would not be helpful. So I feel very fortunate that I found Urban Monk. I discovered I could order a test to see what was going on with my gut, so I did. Then we ordered the whole gut microbiome test, the part that tells you everything, you know? That information is powerful. And from there, seeing what we could see, we knew exactly how to treat it with supplements, coaching, guidance, support. My goodness. I feel so, so lucky to have encountered them and participated with them. I feel like I don't even wanna think about where I could be today without that experience. My daily life was mostly consumed with stress about the whole situation, not understanding why or what to do about it, and I was fortunate enough to do that, to find the solution. I think we all know Western medicine has its limitations. Standardized tests, petrochemicals. They just don't have the freedom to practice true compassionate medicine or the time. And so you need to step outside of that model to find people who can practice medicine in such a compassionate and helpful way. The brain fog and the fatigue were kind of overwhelming 'cause I'm used to being a really active person. And the first, you know, few weeks of the program were really tough. Lots of changes, lots of things to learn, lots of, you know, food restrictions based on what the microbiome test was telling us. But I was so determined. I followed all that. Six weeks in was the real turnaround, and I started feeling so much better. It's so important to follow the plan that they set up for you, and don't cheat. Don't go off the plan because it will just come back to hurt you, and everything will take longer. They know what they're doing. Stick with it. Don't give up. I would say I have a lot more confidence because I feel good. There's nothing worse than the feeling of losing your health. It's very disempowering. And to have somebody help you regain it is actually quite empowering. I'm on a much better level of wellbeing. If you're thinking about working with Urban Monk, and you're just not sure if it's going to be all that you hope to... it will be, I just want to assure you it truly is a life-changing program and all to the better
