More Energy and More Motivation

Summary

Amber found Med Matrix through a Facebook ad while worrying about her family history. Her father died at 66 of cirrhosis of the liver despite never drinking, and all six children in her family have shown up with fatty livers, including her. She had also lived with psoriasis most of her life, covering up rather than wearing short sleeves or shorts, and had been told by other doctors that she had a sluggish thyroid, which she assumed was normal. She wanted root cause answers instead of what she calls a band-aid. Working with Colin Renaud, PA-C, she says her energy is up, her motivation is back, and her psoriasis is going away.

Before Med Matrix

• Family history of cirrhosis of the liver; her father passed away at 66 from it, having never drank
• Told she had a fatty liver; all six children in her family have shown up with fatty livers
• Had a hiatal hernia dealt with (transcript garbles this as "I've had to have my stomach a hiatal hernia put down")
• Psoriasis most of her life, covering her face, to the point she would not wear short sleeves or shorts
• Feeling tired and sluggish, without the energy or motivation to do things
• Told repeatedly by other doctors that she had a sluggish thyroid, and assumed it was normal
• Hormone levels she was not even thinking about

Results

• Energy improved; no longer feeling sluggish
• More motivation and more excitement to do things
• Psoriasis going away, and confidence with her own skin returning
• Her kids are happier seeing her active, and have started following her routines
• Felt heard and comfortable asking questions instead of feeling stupid for asking
• Understands that her thyroid throws off a lot of the rest of her body
• Says it does not feel like a band-aid
