My body is just that much more efficient. I sleep like a champ, workout like a pro, and feel the best I’ve felt in so long!
I went to Dr. Caroline after months of rashes, hives, and breakouts of unknown origins. I was so frustrated because I had done elimination diets on my own as well as consulted with a dermatologist and allergist. I was left with so few answers and a feeling that all of this was food-related, but couldn’t tie the pieces together myself.
After Dr. C ran the initial blood work, it was apparent that my body was full of inflammation. This was a shock to me as I am a person who “does all the right things”. I ate very healthy, exercised five to six days a week, purchased organic and natural foods and household items. After digesting the news, I was immediately ready to do whatever needed to be done to heal my insides. I started my journey to heal my gut the next week!
I cannot emphasize enough that my relief was almost instant! Between the supplements and the complete removal of any well known trigger foods, my body and mind responded with vigor! My slight 5’3″ 115lb frame leaned out in a few weeks’ time. In the first two weeks, I dropped almost seven pounds of what I can only assume was inflammation. I describe it as if someone popped a balloon around me. I was in no way overweight, but after it was gone, I realized I was carrying some kind of swelling or visible inflammation in my flesh.
And you know what? MY CELLULITE DISAPPEARED!!!! What??? I have literally read books on the subject and tried all the techniques to get rid of it with no luck. Turns out my cellulite was inflammation!
Fast forward to today, three months after I met Dr. C. I’ve reintroduced some foods; however, I feel too good to even bother bringing most of them back. My output at the gym has been phenomenal: doing the same class I had before, I’m burning an average of 100 additional calories without working harder! My body is just that much more efficient. I sleep like a champ, workout like a pro, and feel the best I’ve felt in so long! Thank you so much, Dr. Caroline! – Mandy
Everyone at work is also noticing the energy I have and the incredible shift in mood.
As a mom and executive, I wake up every day trying to get more out of myself. But I hit a wall where I couldn’t make sense of my severe fatigue, moodiness, high-anxiety feelings, and brain fog. I had long accepted that migraines were a twice-a-month occurrence that I had to live with. That was just a given. But when I was diagnosed with Grave’s Disease as well, I realized that I had dismissed the symptoms for so long because I was just used to feeling physically terrible every day! It pushed me to figure out what to expect from my body as just a baseline. I didn’t know what was wrong, but I knew I should be expecting more from my body than I was getting.
I Googled to find someone who could help me objectively assess my situation and give me the tools I need to be whole. When I met Dr. C (and her amazing assistant, Victoria!), they were very patient (since I had to correspond from Saudi Arabia, where I am working right now). We were able to get started during the week or two I was back in the States, and I have been working with Dr. C for five weeks now.
I feel AMAZING! First and foremost, my migraines are gone. This is unbelievable, given the number of doctors and nurses who could not remedy this. Everyone at work also notices my energy and the incredible shift in mood. I haven’t felt this good in years! If I had any energy in the past, it was because of the 3 cups of coffee I drank. But I don’t have these ups and downs in energy anymore. I don’t want to oversell how incredible I feel, but knowing that my body can feel this way without tons of artificial additions like sugar or caffeine is unbelievable. I’m not only enjoying the results, but also the process and I feel like my old self from 20 years ago! – Jessica
She caught me when I was just falling and held my hand to bring me to health.
I cannot recommend Dr. Caroline and balance Atlanta enough. I am a client of both her functional medicine and chiropractic practice. I walked into her office with significant health issues and at my wits end with the pain from my Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sjögren’s syndrome and other autoimmune disorders. I had gained so much weight from various medications over the years and could not take it off. I knew the weight also did not help with my chronic pain. I was in a vicious circle that just wouldn’t stop.
I found Dr. C via Google and after thoroughly reading her website, I knew I had to have a consultation. She sent me for blood work and explained the results compared to a woman my age. It’s not the “standard” range you usually get at your primary care office. The results, when compared to a person of my age and gender, were unbelievable. No wonder I was having so many issues. My thyroid wasn’t even functioning, amongst severe other vitamin deficiencies. I chose to move forward with a full 12-week detox and chiropractic work. I was at a point when someone told me lettuce for a year; I would do it. That’s how badly I was hurt all over. Dr. C also discussed and asked about my level of commitment, which I thought was fantastic. I was so impressed by that because it showed me how serious and committed she was to me, and if I weren’t as committed, this wouldn’t work. I held up a photo of my 2-year-old and told her I must live a long time for her…. Tears filled our eyes.
This is truly personalized medicine, and she is whom I call “an angel.” Dr. C created a plan and gave me a very detailed binder with all of my results and a complete roadmap of how to work these 12 weeks. We had one-on-one calls each week about functional medicine. We worked (and still do) three times a week on chiropractic.
I won’t lie—the 12-week program was challenging, but she was with me the whole time. She sent recipes, endless food ideas, exercises, words of encouragement, and so much time talking and getting to know me. She helped me dig deeper into the stressors in my life that contributed to the underlying issues that led me to her.
I lost 17 lbs in two weeks and am currently at 38 lb weight loss. Most importantly, I am entirely pain-free from the agony my autoimmune diseases cause me. We focused on my 12-week program and my post-life choice of new eating habits, and we planned on eliminating the inflammation. That is the root of a lot of my physical ailments. The chiropractic work helps tremendously. I’m the one on the table who, let’s put that big “ahhhh” after a good adjustment. Lol.
I have to say that Dr. C changed my life. She caught me when I was just falling and held my hand to bring me to health. It is a life commitment but one I could never have done without Dr. C. I would recommend her to everyone (and have been doing just that). She is truly outstanding, the best in the business, and you certainly need to see if any of my stories ring true to you! – Dianne
I’ve lost 37 pounds and feel great; I have more energy and joy, and I have regained my positive attitude.
Four months ago, I was in the depths of despair, both physically and emotionally. Covid, the loss of my father, caring for my mother, my partner’s cancer diagnosis and a very busy job, created an extremely tough time for me. I’ve always been a stress-eater, and going through all of this, it became totally out of control; drinking and eating entirely too much! I finally realized I could not continue this lifestyle any longer and needed assistance in getting healthy.
A friend recommended Dr. C who practices functional medicine, and I made an appointment immediately. In the four months working with her, I’ve lost 37 pounds and feel great; more energy, joy and regained my positive attitude.
Another accomplishment is somewhat hard to discuss. However, I am thrilled to share, I now have clean and whole bowel movements or “poops” if you will! Prior to this lifestyle change, I had the messiest “poops” and was praying for no additional toilet paper shortages, as I was using quite a bit at the time! 🤔😊
I truly cannot express how much better I feel and recommend Dr. C to everyone who might be experiencing what I was before seeing her. Her program is amazing and she’s the most caring and sincere provider I know. Reach out to her, and you’ll be glad you did! – Pamela
I noticed how certain foods directly affect my feelings.
She was able to break down to me why, at 24, my body was not functioning correctly, causing unexplained pain and severe tiredness. We made a plan and started with changing my diet. It took a lot of guidance and trying new foods, but I made the change. I immediately noticed a drastic shift in my feelings, and I lost 13 pounds in 2 weeks. It hasn’t been easy, and I failed a lot, but I noticed how certain foods directly affect my feelings. I finally feel 24. I have a long way to go but seeing such a massive change in my body excites me for what’s to come. – Jennifer
I have the knowledge to lead my kids into a healthy lifestyle and have hope that I will be the young mom they deserve
I have been working with Dr Caroline for two months now. This program and Dr. Caroline’s coaching has changed the way that I eat but also the way I feed my family. After generations of obesity and diseases, I refuse to write the same story for my children. I have the knowledge to lead my kids into a healthy lifestyle and have hope that I will be the young mom they deserve. So far, the program has changed my life and it continues to shift my mindset about what food can really do.
It’s not a get slim quick program, and it takes hard work, but the results will come not only with weight loss but also an enjoyable life worth living. Okay, so my new lab results came back normal, as well as my vitamin D, which has always been low. They tested my vitamin D because I told the doctor I hadn’t taken the prescribed supplement. Anyway, the levels for my T4 and TSH were normal. – Naomi
This was the first time I can remember I could eat without repercussions.
I’ve always had GI issues ever since I was a kid and figured it was just something that ran in my family; I’d have to live with it. I’ve tried previously to eat healthier, avoid, and identify possible triggers, but nothing seemed to help.
After meeting with Dr. Caroline and starting the program, I finally felt like I had a trustworthy action plan. Adjusting to the restricted foods was easier than expected by Dr. Caroline’s guidance and supplements; it was easy to fall into a new routine. Week by week, I could see improvements in my symptoms. By week 1, my reflux while working out was gone. Week 2, I was starting to bloat less in my upper stomach. By week 4, my bloat was almost gone and I had less hair breakage. Finally, in weeks 5 and 6 I felt like I was settling into a new routine. This was the first time I can remember I could eat without repercussions. I can’t wait to build on the foundation I’ve built with the repair and clear program with Dr. Caroline. – Kristine
My thyroid has been heading in the right direction.
All in all, I am doing well. I would NOT be in such good shape if it weren’t for all the health work and I am so thankful for that. I’m still eating pretty well and I take the Clearvite in the morning. My body seems happy with that.
My thyroid has been heading in the right direction. The doctor is surprised, but I went from the initial 3 pills per day to 1 pill every other day. This is apparently pretty speedy in just 7 months. The usual duration of this medication is 12-18 months. I hope that when I return for my appointment in a couple of weeks I’ll be 100%. – Britton
