Follow-up questions they answered

How do I find an evidence-based functional health program?
Suzanne Subaitani filtered through many programs specifically looking for one that was evidence-based and on the cutting edge of research. She chose the Institute of Restorative Health because it provided a deep understanding of how the human body works through a systematic, research-backed program. — Suzanne Subaitani
Can functional health protocols help with chronic gut infections like H. pylori?
Yes, Suzanne Subaitani used the program's protocols to overcome devastating gut issues caused by H. pylori, parasites, and the subsequent damage from heavy antibiotics. The program taught her how to repair the 'terrain' of the gut rather than just treating the infection. — Suzanne Subaitani
Is the Institute of Restorative Health curriculum immediately applicable?
Suzanne noted that she was able to utilize the tools and knowledge right away with her clients. She found the education impactful 'right out of the gates,' which motivated her to complete all four levels of the program. — Suzanne Subaitani
Is Laura Frontiero's program worth the investment compared to traditional health insurance?
Lisa and Tim Deno viewed the program as an investment in themselves, choosing to buy the cheapest catastrophic insurance possible to redirect those funds into Laura's program. They noted that they were previously spending thousands on insurance they didn't use without seeing health improvements. — Lisa & Tim Deno
Can Laura Frontiero help with chronic digestive issues?
Yes, Lisa Deno reported that at age 61, she achieved regular daily bowel movements for the first time in her life after being doubled over in pain for years. She attributes this to Laura's focus on drainage pathways and specific protocols like the HCL challenge. — Lisa & Tim Deno
What makes Laura Frontiero's approach different from physical therapy?
Tim Deno noted that he previously went through physical therapy with very limited improvement and felt frustrated. He found Laura's level of knowledge and her ability to investigate treatments and relate them to specific protocols provided the resolution he couldn't find elsewhere. — Lisa & Tim Deno
