Rob & Anne H.

Long Beach, California

Diabetes was going to steal time away from this SoCal couple (Anne and Rob) as Rob's diabetic complications went from bad to simply life threatening.

Kidney disease, severe lethargy and poor vision meant Rob had to step down from his technical supervisory role at a major defense contractor.

After receiving one of our mailers - Anne suggested Rob look into our Reverse Diabetes program. He attended one of our weekly seminars to learn more about his disease and his complications.

Although highly skeptical, he took the plunge with a "nothing ventured - nothing gained" outlook.

"I literally had nothing more to lose and diabetes was wrecking my life. I did not want to take this lying down. So I thought I'd try their program."

Within 4 and half months Rob was off his meds with an #a1c of 6.4 and back on his feet with clear vision and renewed zeal and vitality.

Within months of receiving treatment he was back at his old job and most recently, they renewed their marriage vows in Trinidad and are looking forward to many happy healthy years together with Rob's Diabetes as a distant memory. *

Lauren P.

Los Angeles, California

"When I came to this clinic I was suffering from digestive issues horribly for several years. My doctor sent me to a GI specialist. The endoscopy and colonoscopy they ordered revealed nothing, so they told me nothing was wrong.

Well something was wrong! No one could tell me what it was. I discovered functional medicine and did some research to see who practices this way in California. I came to Advanced Functional Medicine after seeing all the positive reviews online. At first I was skeptical, but I felt like I had nothing to lose and did not want to live this way.. In the first few weeks of them seeing me, my digestion was almost normal!

This was very encouraging and their tests revealed exactly what foods and issues were causing my problems. They put me on a customized plan, and in a few months not only was I back to normal, I looked better too!

Thank you all so much! I feel like I was given a second chance at life. I would recommend this office to anyone."*

Bob D.

Anaheim, California

"My name is Bob. I heard about this program through a family member who listens to public radio. I didn't know anything about it. I was diabetic for over 20 years and with the same physician who never did anything but prescribe me drugs. I was taking 3 diabetic medications, cholesterol medications, and blood pressure meds.

My doctor told me, or implied that I would be on these for life. I also had burning sensations constantly in my feet. I started this program and the first thing I noticed was the burning sensation in my feet started to resolve, my vision got clearer, and my energy returned.

Over a few months my weight changed from 250 down to about 220. My cholesterol and blood pressure started to drop too, which they monitored for me all the way through and I was able to reduce those medications.

Needless to say, my doctor was amazed. My A1c is normal, my cholesterol and blood pressure are good, and I'm barely taking medication. No more burning in my feet, which amazes me. This is a great program, very thorough, just follow what they tell you to do. I'm very thankful I heard about this group." *

Melvyn B.

Irvine, California

"It was quite sudden shock to me - in terms of my diagnosis as a #diabetic - I had no idea"
Melvin B. is a 52 year old Filipino American who had always tried to be careful of what he ate in spite of of working long unsociable hours - the Father of three was shocked to find himself a Type 2 Diabetic but not entirely surprised in retrospect.

"My Mother had diabetes and so does my Sister. Also my work has always been stressful - but its expected in my profession as a network engineer - when a job needs fixing there's no going home until it's done. It was just exhausting"

The first signs of a diabetic problem for Melvin were blurred vision and often complete exhaustion after eating when returning home in the evening.

A routine set of tests with his PCP revealed an A1C of nearly 11 and high fasting glucose levels in the morning. He was prescribed Metformin and, a year or so later, Glipizide to combat what seemed to be an ever worsening condition.

Insulin was discussed after Melvin's BG levels were unmanageable - even with 2000mg of Metformin RX.

There seemed to be a grim future ahead and with it the prospect of an impaired quality of life that may have impacted on his ability to continue to hold his job.

Melvin attended our Diabetes seminar and, he and his wife agreed that anything was worth a try over the inevitable course of lifelong insulin.

"Advanced Functional Medicine has achieved what I rationally assumed to be impossible. Within a few months I was energized again, off my meds and full of energy - they were the first to comprehensively test me and identify the various factors at the root of my problem and correct it".

"I am, clinically, no longer Diabetic and am making more time for my family with a less stressful job and simply getting on with life" *
