“I visit my doctor once a year for a physical! I get checked by my dentist twice a year as well! I try to gather overwhelming, information about my health Online? But try to make sense of their medical jargon is quite daunting! A while ago, I was referred to Caitlin from a friend! I was researching homeopathic support to my medical quandary. Caitlin took her time and was able to help me find supplements in support to my general health! Thank you, Caitlin and staff. See you soon!” ~ Jim
“Heartburn! That is what originally brought me to Leaves of Life! I had numerous other issues, but this is the one thing I was certain needed a more holistic approach. After taking a daily Prilosec for ten plus years, I was determined to have an alternative. I saw Caitlin and that’s where we started. It’s been over a year and a half since my first visit and I no longer take Prilosec, and no longer have heartburn. But, that was just the start of my transformation successes.
I have stopped taking two of the three blood pressure medications that my primary family doctor had told me I was maxed out on the doses of each and there is no way I would ever be off them. I would have to take them for the rest of my life. (Well, I had heard that before - that’s what they said about the Prilosec). I am now also off a depression medicine that my primary family doctor said would be hard to get off of. She had to wean me off in increments.
I was morbidly obese (nice term they use at the doctor’s office) and was having no success changing this. I watched my calories, fasted, exercised in the morning on an empty stomach, and went to the gym after work. What else could I possibly do? When Caitlin said I was stressing my adrenal glands and my body was making too much of the stress hormone cortisol, I asked for her suggestions. Her advice - eat before I exercise, eat more, stop exercising so much. I thought, Are you kidding me? I can’t lose weight as it is, if I do that, I’m going to gain weight for sure. But, she added in some ideas to help with the process- working with my lymphatic system, breath work, improving sleep, reducing inflammation, etc.
It’s hard to believe it myself, and I can’t name one thing that caused this change in me. I just think it was a combination of all the self care. But I stopped going to the gym so much, stopped counting calories, and stopped obsessing about my next meal, and miraculously I started losing weight.
I also had chronic knee pain that has disappeared. It had gotten so severe I couldn't walk up and down the stairs without holding on to the railing. I was diagnosed with Lipedema and was told my legs would always be affected by it, but I changed my outlook and my mindset and used self-care techniques like working on my fascia and some amazing thing happened. At 54 I am the healthiest I have been in over 25 years.
I appreciate the time Caitlin took at every appointment to understand my issues and help me learn more about what my body needed. I learned so much and am so grateful for all that Leaves of Life has helped me to accomplish.” ~ Rhonda
I was recommended by my father to come to Leaves of Life and I’ll admit, I was afraid I was going to be recommended to go down a similar path previous medical professionals had told me which I wanted to avoid as much as possible. From the moment I saw Caitlin, I knew she was different from my previous experiences. I did not feel pressured one way or another to do anything I was uncomfortable with and she provided me with a knowledge-first approach that transformed my life. It has been three months since I have started to follow the diet and healthy lifestyle recommendations she offered and now I am sharing it with everyone! I feel in charge and empowered and I did not feel like that prior to meeting with Caitlin. ~ Jewelee
