While thinking about my journey and how far I have come I feel an overwhelming since of peace and joy. You see, 9 years ago I had to have a complete hysterectomy. I feel my body went down hill from there. Over the years of gaining weight and my self esteem going with...Becky
A friend and co-worker of mine referred me to Dr. Michele & Dr. Mark Sherwood after I had been struggling for 2 years with losing that “last 10 pounds” and was constantly fighting fatigue. I went in, took a few blood tests and when the results came...Bill Breshears
For over the past 5 years, I knew I was a candidate for diabetes; because my dad was diagnosed as a diabetic at around age 45. I have worked out over the past several years, sporadic at best, to hopefully avoid one day being told I was a diabetic. My lifelong family...Bob Harrison’s Story
Drs. Mark and Michele are so unique. Hi, I’m Bob Harrison and I have put on events in Hawaii for 37 years. For many of those years, we have had people from different avenues of health and wellness to share with our group and our audience. But when Mark and...Bryan’s Story
Before I had even considered losing weight, the doctor had told me that my triglycerides were on the rise. The last time I went and saw my primary carer, they were pretty concerned, because my triglycerides had gone up and cholesterol was going up. I was also having...Cari Stuff’s Story
My health was pretty much the pits. I couldn’t figure out why. Compared to everyone around me, I thought I was the healthy one, and I wasn’t on a whole lot of medications, but you know, didn’t feel good. I was always struggling. I knew that I needed...Carla Hanes
A big issue was blood pressure that was out of control. I was having some medication changes that didn’t seem to really help. Also, I was having some inflammation in the body that couldn’t be identified. I didn’t really know what to do about it....Carla Odom
Where was I? When I came to FMI, I was recovering from cancer and was confused by all the information available. Even though I was eating healthy and consuming mass quantities of supplements, I was still in pain and unhealthy. I was anxious, depressed and...Carla’s Story
Before I came to Mark and Michele, I was recovering from cancer, and I was kind of on my own health quest journey. And there’s so much out there, it’s hard to make sense of it all. And I was taking mountain loads of pills, and I was eating all this stuff....Charlin Graham
I was borderline diabetic. I was obese, having a lot of joint problems. I didn’t feel good. It was a bad feeling. It was depressing. I was just in a bad place at the time. Numerous results I’ve seen. I’ve dropped weight very quickly. My joints feel...Charlotte Simpson
I became a momma at the young age of 17, got married and was blessed with 2 more daughters and a stepdaughter. Family life was in full swing and I just stopped taking care of myself and took care of everyone else. I felt so out of control on my nutrition. I would go...Chris & Mandy
Chris: A friend suggested that I should visit Dr. Mark…but didn’t really know why. Honestly, I was at the heaviest point in my life (around 260 pounds). I had tried several weight loss programs, but nothing seemed to last. I have always said, “God made me to love...Chris’s Story
Thanksgiving 2016 we had family pictures taken. Up until that moment I knew I was overweight and had issues, but you know, hey everybody has issues. Everybody’s got high blood pressure when you’re overweight. But when we took our family photos, I looked at...Christine Mata
I am an installation technician for AT&T which requires a lot of heavy lifting, attic and crawl space work and climbing utility poles. As a 58 year old female, this is no easy task. Prior to visiting FMI, I was constantly fatigued, irritable, and experiencing...Cindy Graver
When I first visited the Functional Medical Institute, I was at a loss. My biomarkers were in good shape with the help of medication, but I was unable to lose weight. I was even working out 5 days per week! My primary care physician told me, “be happy where you are...Cindy Heald
I’ve struggled for a long time with emotional eating and poor body image. And the more weight I put on, the worse those became. So, I was in a pretty low state. I never felt like an example. Being in the health field and teaching young people about health...Connie Moody
I have been on the program for 6 weeks. Have traveled the better part of the last 3 1/2 weeks and have, for the most part stayed with healthy, clean eating, admittedly with a few slip ups. My results so far: I am off of Prilosec (I had been on for over 10 years!!) I...Craig’s Wellness Story
As we get older, obviously us males start losing muscle mass, and after age 30 it just gets worse and worse. I play a lot of golf with my buddies, and they were always out driving me and I’m like, “What is going on here?” So I started trying to...Cynthia Blair
I was taking my medication for depression and my weight kept getting bigger and bigger. And, I’m eating as healthy as I thought I was. I mean I was not eating a lot of junk food. But, it wasn’t helping. In our family, there is diabetes. I wasn’t too...
