Monica's Story
Monica is a beautiful 38-year-old woman. No one would have suspected the amount of pain she had endured as a result of four car and snowmobile accidents during a sixteen year period. As a result of the pain, her sleep was constantly interrupted, and she was unable to function without taking outrageous painkilling drugs such as Flexoril, Neurontin, Relafen and Ibuprofen.
After her first visit to Nutritional Direction, we did adrenal cortisol testing which showed day-long depressed states of cortisol, also known as adrenal burn-out. Cortisol not only reflects energy and stress states, but also modulates inflammatory actions. Pain and inflammation recovery is impossible without addressing and correcting adrenal function.
Monica says, "I have felt remarkably better with all of your coaching and in such a short period of time! I can't even begin to tell you the years of unbelievable back, neck and joint pain that were before you. And the difficulty with energy was an obvious and enormous cross to bear. If I even showed you the amount of X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, etc., not to mention the hundreds of doctor visits you would be horrified. In just a few months, I take almost nothing for my back and although I am still tired, I feel a slight but obvious difference in the morning and in the afternoons - it's great to not be dying for caffeine around the clock. Thank you so much for using your gift to help others!!!"
The body, as designed by our Creator God, operates as a total mechanism. Reductionistic medicine would have us believe that the heart 'attacks' and the kidneys 'fail' because there is an inherent flaw in that organ or system. We must look at the entire body as a synergistic mechanism, one system giving support to another. If the kidneys become burdened, for example, as reflected on a blood test, it is absolutely important to support liver function. Identifying root causes are so critical to allow the body to heal!
