When Maureen came to me, she'd felt unwell for about a decade — bloating, gas, low energy, poor concentration, headaches, skin issues. It had gotten to the point where she was genuinely afraid to eat, because food meant more bloating and pain. She'd tried many things that never made a difference, so she wasn't expecting much — she just hoped I might help with even one symptom.
When I ran her bloodwork, it gave the decade a name: elevated inflammation (a high CRP), a vitamin D deficiency, and thyroid autoimmunity (elevated thyroglobulin antibodies). Real, measurable drivers — and all of them addressable.
Before I could address any of that, we had to make it safe for her to eat again. So we started with nervous-system support and met her exactly where she was — gently rebuilding the simple habit of eating on a regular schedule. The turning point came when she realized her body could actually break food down again; once she trusted that, she started eating more — and from there we could finally work on the inflammation, restore her vitamin D, and support her thyroid, with nutrition and lifestyle carrying it over those six months.
The numbers moved — and so did how she felt every day:
"I'd not been feeling great for about a decade, and I thought that was just how my body was wired. I'd done many treatments that never made a difference, so I wasn't expecting much. I'm so happy I went through with it — it's helped me so much. Gina went above and beyond to help me understand the root cause of my symptoms. I feel better now than I ever did in the last ten years."
If you've been told your labs are "normal" but you still feel off, let's find what they missed.
