Raquel & Doug: More Energy, Less Brain Fog, Healthier Together

Summary

Raquel and Doug, a married couple pursuing healthy aging together, came to Med Matrix after a friend referred Raquel. Both were tired, foggy, and stuck. Raquel struggled with her weight, foggy memory, and kidney stones her doctor never looked into, while Doug was fighting high blood sugar, low energy, and vision changes from his glucose being out of control. With comprehensive blood work, repeat InBody body composition scans, and a realistic plan from Colin, both regained their energy, Raquel started building muscle, and Doug brought his glucose down, all while working on better health side by side.

Before Med Matrix

  • Both felt tired and run down, with afternoon energy crashes around 2 or 3 pm
  • Could not get clear answers from regular doctors, with medications that did not resolve the issues
  • Raquel had foggy memory and trouble remembering things
  • Raquel struggled to lose weight despite trying
  • Raquel had recurring kidney stones and a lot of antibiotics, and her doctor never checked her vitamin or iron levels
  • Doug had high blood sugar with glucose out of control, causing vision changes
  • Doug felt in a slump and wanted to feel like himself again
  • Hard to get out of bed in the morning, and the low energy made them moody

Results

  • More energy for both, with the afternoon crash gone
  • Less brain fog and better mental awareness for Raquel
  • Raquel is building muscle and feels stronger, even when the scale holds steady
  • Doug brought his glucose down and his weight is stable or slightly down
  • Doug gets up earlier and comes home from long workdays feeling okay
  • No longer needing to be dragged out of bed in the morning
  • Better control of their health and a clear road map to keep improving
  • Going through the journey together has helped them physically and mentally
