Elizabeth sleeping well without pain and more muscle

Summary

Elizabeth B., a former dental hygienist and longtime health-minded person, came to Med Matrix after years of sleep deprivation and health neglect while serving as a caregiver for her mother following multiple surgeries. Through comprehensive testing including blood panels and a stool test, she identified gut issues and received targeted supplements and peptides that resolved her sleep problems, improved her workouts, reduced GI issues, and led to a gluten-free diet that made a significant difference.

Before Med Matrix

• Severely sleep deprived for years (caring for mother for 26 months, three days and four nights per week)
• Could only sleep about 5 to 6 hours per night, often broken
• Slept best between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. (disrupted circadian rhythm)
• Tossing and turning due to pain when lying down
• Frequent waking at 2 or 3 a.m.
• GI issues
• Multiple surgeries in 2018 requiring heavy antibiotics, disrupting her system
• Guessing at supplements and treatments without a clear plan
• Lifting weights regularly but seeing no muscle definition despite training hard

Results

• Now sleeps from approximately 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. (around 8 hours), feeling well-rested
• Can lie in any position without pain
• Mind more relaxed, less anxiety
• Better overall sense of wholeness
• Workouts noticeably better (heavier lifting, more definition)
• Making better food decisions
• GI issues improving
• Discovered gluten sensitivity through stool test; gluten-free diet making a difference
• Less guessing, more certainty about what her body needs
