Memorable Moments:
"We pushed back against medicine for the longest time, and finally my husband and I felt like we had no other choiceā¦.Then, the side effects startedā¦I felt hopeless."
"It has been a life-changer. It has been an absolutely night-and-day life-changer for him, for our family dynamic, for the relationship with him and his friends, like all the way from A to Z. It's just been absolutely phenomenal."
"We were living on Miralaxā¦and the pediatrician just kept saying, 'Just keep giving it to him to make him regular. Keep giving him Miralaxā¦' Within a week of starting this diet and thingsā¦I haven't given him any Miralax. Zero."
"Within a week of stopping - especially the gluten, dairy, soy - within a week of stopping those and starting the supplement program and things, he was going on a regular basis and not complaining of stomach aches anymore."
"I was very overwhelmed at firstā¦but I would do it a million times over againā¦It may seem impossible or very difficult at the front end but the resultsā¦It's an absolute no-brainer."
"Your team did an amazing job coming up with those supplements to fill hisā¦nutritional gaps in his bodyā¦And the one-on-one coaching calls, I can't tell you how much that helped meā¦"
"I always felt like we were walking on eggshells then, but I don't feel that way anymoreā¦.He's just a totally different kid."
"Nothing is more important than making sure you're putting your best foot forward for your child and giving them a chance at lifeā¦a chance without medicationā¦a chance with no side effects and a chance to really just live."
"It has been an absolute transformation for our family to just be able to up and goā¦It has made our family dynamic so much happier."
"Surround yourself with people that support you."
