Hello Dr Jockers, I suffered in the past from SIBO, Helicobacter pilory, candida, etc, etc. I tried different doctors, practitioners but nothing worked. I have always been constipated but this has worsen and now I am suffering from acid reflux, stomachaches, and other issues. I suspect I have SIBO again and I just ordered a test and a Helicobacter pilory test to confirm. I am treating myself but I need someone. I live in Florida. How does it work with your functional practitioners? I tried to find a naturopathic doctor but they are not allowed to prescribe in Florida. I love natural approaches anyway but if a test is needed I need someone who can order the tests, etc.

Hello,
I’ve been diagnosed with hypothalamic amenorrhea and my GYN automatically has resorted to prescribing birth control pills for me. I’m 43 yrs old and want to avoid starting this medication at all costs. I’ve had all my reproductive hormones checked via blood work along with a cortisol level and a bone density. All came back within normal limits except for low estrogen and slightly elevated cortisol. Cannot get out of a follicular stage. I do cardio exercise-intensity jogging most days and follow a healthy whole food modest diet while monitoring inflammatory foods and fermented foods. Can you please assist me in finding natural ways either in foods/supplements or professional recommendations to help my menses cycle return?

Hello Dr Jockers,
My sister and I have been following you for many years.
She has had eczema starting from age 4 and she is now 61.
8 years ago she stopped all medication for eczema and now has TSW (Topical Steroid Withdrawal) also called Red Skin Syndrome. She has followed many of your health suggestions and also does coffee enemas. She’s gotten much better, however, there is still so much room for improvement. She recently did an Intracellular Nutrient Analysis.
Could you please help in suggesting her next step on whether to see a coach or to even see you!
Thank you for all that you do and the knowledge you teach!

In reply to Leslie B. Unfortunately, insurance covers very little but in certain cases may provide some level of coverage.

My brother has just been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s (not early-onset). He’s in his late 60’s. He has mild cognitive impairment now.

Which of your coaches would be best for a recently diagnosed Alzheimer’s patient?

I’m ready to retain one of your coaches for my brother as soon as possible.

Hello, Dr. Jockers!
I just signed up with you, and on your thank you for signing up with you page, just notifying you that the “Read More” link on your “Top 24 Cancer Fighting Foods” article takes me to the “How To Follow A Cyclical Ketogenic Diet” article instead.

Thank you for this informative article regarding finding a functional medicine nutrition coach. I have been looking for a holistic solution to my health care issues currently so this was very helpful. I am currently in end stage renal failure, stage five kidney failure with polycystic kidneys and I’m on dialysis and have been for two years. I’ve started the test to get on the transplant list at UNC. The nephrologist that I deal with do not want to have anything to do with any type of progressive/holistic care. Medicare probably requires strict adherence to assure payment but this approach is unfortunately possibly robbing many dialysis patients of better healthcare…especially since the kidneys play such a vital and integral role throughout the body. I’m having to be my own advocate because I know functional medicine could help improve my quality of life. If you have any recommendations with someone on your team who has experience in the field of renal failure/dialysis or if you could recommend a functional medicine practitioner in the Wilmington North Carolina area that would be awesome! Again, I appreciate your article and I look forward to hearing from you!
Thanks!
Cameron Smith

What to do for sticky , enlarged red blood cells that show on tests ? I’m plant based in my eating plan .I know they lead to serious conditions . Is there anyway to prevent and reduce their size and stickiness ? I’ve been told about them by two doctors .

Is any of this covered by insurance? I was hoping to find something that’s even partially covered.
Sorry if this question is redundant. I’m in Ohio, not that it matters like you said.

Any good functional doctors in SLC, Utah? I’ve had many abdominal surgeries, including
hysterectomy, nissan fundoplication, gall bladder, small intestine blockage, and lg. bowel resection from diverticulosis. I’ve been diagnosed with CLL leukemia. I have a pacemaker. I suffer with awful digestive issues–SIBO/IBS, etc. I’m afraid to eat or go anywhere because of bowel problems. I’m battling depression. I could really use some help.
