What is the Paleo Diet?

I have been struggling with chronic unknown illness, pain, and depression for about 10 years. I have seen several doctors and chiropractors during this time frame, but no one has been able to truly help me find a long term, healthy solution. At one point my life seemed to have fallen apart. I lost friends. I got divorced. I was bypassed for promotions. My family got tired of hearing the same sob story over and over. So, in effort to try to help myself, I moved. I switched jobs. I dated. I drank. I ate. I meditated. I changed medicines, added medicines, stopped medicines, took anti-inflammatories. Went to therapy, read and prayed (which all helped me mentally), but I still wasn't getting the physical care I needed. I then found myself alone, using all my energy just to go to work and come home. I felt like I had the flu ALL THE TIME. I couldn't even enjoy my active hobbies, which made my depression worse. I was 100% exhausted from being on over-drive and considered suicide on many occasions.

Fast forward a couple years after being accustomed to living like a robot during the day and sobbing at night (usually using work as excuse for my absence in life) I heard about Dr. S and Dr. Z's clinic and decided to give it a try. What did I have to lose? Many of my physical symptoms were getting scarily worse and I didn't know what else to do. My regular doctor kept on saying I was completely fine and healthy. Well, my body AND mind was SCREAMING that I wasn't, among other things.

It's been three weeks now after being on a chiropractic and nutrition program, and I am getting my life back; words can’t even fully describe how I feel. I can do meaningless tasks now with ease, such as dishes or putting on my make-up. I can enjoy the things I love like riding my horse and gardening without serious pain and exhaustion. My relationships are beginning to heal. I have more energy than I've felt in years. My excitement for life is coming back! I'm even planning for the holidays instead of planning for sleep. The best part is, this is all from holistic and natural care!

Even though the team is working hard to help me, I still have to hold myself accountable and put in my fair share of hard work too. It's amazing how your body can heal when it's allowed to heal naturally, and they're teaching me how. I know I still have a long road ahead of me, but I have finally found an understanding, welcoming and supportive team to join me on this journey.

Don’t lose hope.

Dr. Z has been so helpful not only to me but my family. We have received great chiropractic care to address neck and back issues related to daily living. My son no longer struggles with frequent, severe headaches and has improved posture. I’m most thankful for his assistance in helping me reduce/eliminate chronic mouth ulcers and improve my immune system through nutrition.
Dr. Z, Dr. Socha, and the AYS staff are helpful, encouraging, and great to work with!
