Stephanie came to me in 2022 carrying a heavy load — Hashimoto's, high cholesterol, pre-diabetes, likely fatty liver, and severe migraines she'd had since she was a pre-teen. She ate clean, tracked everything, exercised up to two hours a day, and still couldn't lose weight or shake her IBS. She'd lost hope of feeling well.
A GI-MAP finally explained it: an H. pylori overgrowth, opportunistic bacteria, depleted keystone strains, and mold exposure. We treated the root — including getting her husband tested and treated, since the H. pylori kept reinfecting her — and rebuilt her gut and metabolism. Two years later her thyroid is optimal, she's 20 pounds lighter, no longer pre-diabetic, and her liver ultrasound came back normal.
The wins
- Thyroid optimal — TSH 5.29 → 1.18
- 20 lbs lost; no longer pre-diabetic
- Cholesterol 260 → 238, no medication
- Liver ultrasound came back normal
