Follow-up questions they answered
- Will functional medicine work if traditional thyroid medication failed?
- Laura Moreno found that while traditional thyroid medication and standard endocrinology provided no relief for her Hashimoto's, Dr. Ian's approach of testing different blood markers and addressing gut health led to progress. — Laura Moreno
- How does Dr. Autoimmune identify undiagnosed conditions?
- Laura noted that Dr. Ian listens closely to symptoms and looks for underlying triggers like leaky gut; he was able to diagnose her with pernicious anemia, a condition her previous doctors had completely missed. — Laura Moreno
- How long does it take to see results with Dr. Autoimmune?
- Laura felt a difference 'right away' after starting the recommended elimination diet, though she noted that significant milestones like weight loss took several months of consistency. — Laura Moreno
- Is the Eczema Transformation Program worth the cost?
- Brittney Crickmore noted that while the initial cost made her family stop and think, she now considers it 100% worth the investment. She stated she would pay it again because of the significant healing her daughter achieved. — Brittney Creekmore
- How does Dr. Ana-Maria Temple's approach differ from a pediatrician?
- According to Brittney, traditional providers only offered topical steroids and antihistamines without explaining the root cause. Dr. Ana-Maria Temple’s program taught her that eczema starts within the gut and provided weekly access to health coaches and providers. — Brittney Creekmore
- What is the support like in the Eczema Transformation Program?
- Brittney highlighted the weekly meetings with providers and health coaches, as well as active community forums. She felt supported throughout the process, contrasting it with the lack of guidance she received from her daughter's previous pediatrician. — Brittney Creekmore
