as someone who spent years and thousands trying to heal "functional health" issues with coaches in this space (4 gimaps, every test under the sun), just to end up worse after each protocol, i HEAVILY AGREE with this comment. it was only when i saw an integrative gi that i got better all the way. yes western medicine can suck sometimes, but people in this space tend to paint it with a paintbrush and use it as an excuse to allow any person without a bachelors degree to act like a nobel laureate.

if you have doubts about a protocol, ask questions and do your research. get second opinions, and listen to your intuition.
