What brought you to our clinic? I have tried to work out over the years, but for the past 10 years I have really seen no change. In the past couple of years I began to feel really sluggish. I also experienced no strength gain…actually, I was probably losing strength....Dathel’s Story
I had a kid at 42, so I started really looking at my health. I lived in a lot of fear that I wasn’t getting the results I needed to have a nice long and healthy life. Not only did I want to be able to take care of my kid, I wanted to be around for his kids. So I...David Wiggins
When I first visited the clinic… I had almost no energy, I was lost and didn’t know where to turn to help me get my health and weight under control. I had tried several diets with little success. I was ready and needed a massive change in my life. My weight was...Don’s Story
Three months ago I was suffering from joint pain both in my shoulders, knees, and lower back. Not from injury, but just from the bad food I had been eating. It was lots of sugar and all of that. Since then a lot of that has really been depleted quite a bit. I would...Felicia’s Story
I had a slow journey at first. I was diagnosed with uveal melanoma cancer, which is a really extremely rare form of eye cancer. That sort of pushed me forward a little bit faster, with wanting to get healthy.

I didn’t feel like myself. I didn’t have any energy. I was tired all the time and just feeling like I needed a change. It’s a pretty significant mental game that first three or four weeks as you start to grieve the things that you’re giving up in your life. After that...Jerry Cichon
A little over a year ago, I had a major heart attack and was miraculously brought back to life by Creek County EMT’s right in my living room. They took me to the hospital, did a Heart Cath procedure and gave me the news. The Heart Surgeon said I weighed 424...Jimmy’s Story
I was wearing size 36 pants that stretch to 38 and they were stretched all the way out. I needed the next size. I decided that enough was enough, I was drawing the line, no more. I would get up, and go to work but skip breakfast most days. Then I would eat whatever...Karen’s Story
Well I basically went into the office and I wasn’t sure what I was gonna hear, or what was gonna happen. I knew that I liked the natural way of healing and I didn’t wanna go mess with the doctors. I didn’t wanna be on pills. And so I went in to see...Kim Norton
This is what my life used to look like: I went to work and gave everything I had, ran errands on the way home, cooked dinner for my husband and kids and then fell asleep on the couch exhausted. The next day, I would do it all over again. After talking to my friends...Kim West
Where was I? “In bad shape physically and mentally.” A partial list: migraines, restless legs, fatigue, sleeplessness, aches from arthritis, sweats, stress and of course overweight. The list can go on and on. A lot of these problems caused my relationship...Kimberly Shipman
When I came to see Dr. Mark Sherwood at Functional Medical Institute, I was struggling with my weight. I thought I was doing all the right things by eating healthy and exercising, but physically I was not seeing the results. In reality, I was eating some of the wrong...Lan’s Story
I had been working out at the gym, and been slowly gaining weight, for about ten years. I was playing racquetball, and realized I was extremely overweight. My inflammation levels were really spiking. One day I had trouble walking, from having an injury. I just...Linda Burnett
I have been a personal trainer for over 20 years. I am very much a research addict and try to learn from any and everything I can get my hands on. When I heard about the DNA test, I was fascinated to think there might actually be individualized results that were for...Mary Joe’s Health Story
Before meeting Dr. Mark and Michelle, I thought I was living a good life. I was a mother of five, a full-time graduate student, worked full time, and volunteered in my community. I just constantly felt tired. I was drinking probably a pot or two of coffee every day...Michael Scofield
Several years ago I injured myself and let myself get out of shape. Finally trying to get back on track a couple of years ago, I lost weight, but also gained some back. It was a constant guessing game on what I needed to do to get where I needed to be. I’ve...Michelle’s Story
I didn’t like who I saw in the mirror. I didn’t like being in a full length mirror, and seeing the person looking back at me. Let alone being in front of my husband, and him seeing who I was, how big I was. I had a hard time sleeping, and I know during...
