Wize Nutrition Therapy

My Personal Health Journey

I have been a practicing pharmacist for more than 20 years now, both as a clinical pharmacist in the hospital and a community pharmacist in a retail setting. I have also had some health issues that have not been resolved by drugs or conventional medicine, which led me to begin to search for alternative therapies.

I have had bowel problems for more than 10 years as well as joint problems.

I had tried all sorts of remedies without any cure. I would use anti-inflammatory drugs for my joint pain, but it bothered my stomach so I could only use it sparingly. I tried chiropractors including advanced orthogonal chiropractors. I found relief for my lower back pain but it never lasted for more than 3 weeks. In fact most of the time I would have to go weekly to the chiropractor to get adjusted. Early in 2015, I started experiencing extreme fatigue. It did not matter whether I slept or not, I woke up unable to get out of bed and when I forced myself up it was a drag to get through the day. I started some nutrition program with supplements that would help sometimes but never really resolved the issues. I knew that I was going through some pathology in my organ systems that no one had been able to identify.

I decided to give it a try and was amazed at how the practitioner was able to identify the areas of my body that were not functioning well. My thyroid gland was identified as the priority, even though I had bowel problems, adrenal problems and joint problems. It made sense to me because several months back I had actually asked my doctor to test me for thyroid but the test came back normal. I had read so many articles that suggested that the standard test for thyroid function is not sensitive enough to identify thyroid dysfunction that was causing significant symptoms in people, especially women. I was also told I was sensitive to most grains and sugar. Again I had already suspected these problems and had taken steps to structure my diet accordingly, but despite my healthy diet I could not solve any of these problems that had plagued me.
