Lindsay: Weight Loss + Sleeping Through the Night + Energy Back

Summary

Lindsay gained 43 pounds in about 6 months while her PCP kept telling her labs were fine. Two close family members recommended functional medicine, and after researching online she connected with Med Matrix. Working with Colin, she discovered her A1C was raised and her cholesterol and triglycerides were past 300, all against a severe cardiac family history her PCP had never taken seriously. She has since lost weight, stopped a 3-year sleep medication, sleeps through the night, and describes the experience as "life-changing."
