Hello Everyone, I don't think I did the intro post when I first found the Clarity Circle some months ago - but "better late than never" is my motto (especially repairing my health!!) so here I go... I'm Lisa, a Canadian living in Bermuda. I found Dr Stephanie on Insta earlier this year and appreciated how she explained specific tests, what they meant and how they tell a specific story about you when combined with other tests. For over a decade I've been actively searching for a diagnosis and path to heal, received an autoimmune diagnosis 4 years ago and still learning how to heal. Testing out the wazoo over the years, so every time I learn something new here, I go back and dig through my past bloodwork and Eureka - the answers were right there all along! Now I know more, continue to get better at what to ask, test and watch for. Finally feeling some confidence that healing will be achieved 🤞

Sharing hope and encouragement for anyone in this group feeling like no one listens, they won't heal or ever feel better. I spent over the last 15 years asking why am I constantly fatigued to be told I just need to "eat better and move more". I already was eating very healthy and even a simple walk would leave me able to only the bare minimum tasks for days after. Not normal for a woman in her 40's, the gaslighting is real! Then at 51 I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease (IgG4-RD) that attacks my pancreas and at that point it was no longer functioning - but the symptoms (high A1C, digestive issues) I'd had for a couple years by then were being treated as if it was my food intake and (lack of) movement choices. 🤦‍♀️ Peri-menopause symptoms were also likely contributing to the cause, but no one was talking about that then. I've been "working on" repairing my gut health for probably 8 years now, but it's only been since I started following Dr Stephanie that I've gained enough knowledge to interpret the copious amounts of testing I've had done over the last decade. What I was doing wasn't showing measurable results in my eyes, but in reality it was very likely saving me from crashing and burning completely and giving my body a leg up. Now I know this is because I wasn't focusing on the underlying causes, because I didn't know what they were and my healthcare providers also didn't know.... Four years ago I was treated for the autoimmune disease and it has remained dormant ever since. Now this is where the hope comes in - for the first time in six years of testing, one of my panels came back all "green" - no blaring red results screaming "in desperate need of help!!!". My pancreas is now fully back to normal. With Dr. Stephanie's help and guidance, I'm now hopeful to figure out the rest of the puzzle pieces, beat the fatigue for good and keep the IgG4-RD from activating. To everyone I say this - there is hope, keep persevering, keep asking questions, keep learning - the answers are out there! And in the meantime, keep doing what you can as it may be helping you more than it shows.🤩

I joined the RootRx program late June and I received my Protocol this morning and I have spent the last few hours reading through everything and crying ... There have been happy tears because I have FINALLY found someone who is looking at my labwork and addressing my long-term issues. However, there have been more tears wept in frustration for the gaslighting I have experienced, from multiple providers over the last 20 years, as my labwork has been deemed "normal" because the Dr. or NP doesn't know how to look at the labs TOGETHER as a whole picture of my health. All of that money spent on office visits, labwork, allergy testing, supplements, medications FOR 20+ YEARS knowing that nothing was helping me heal. Also, hours and hours spent on the Internet researching and trying to make connections between my symptoms and possible causes & then asking my provider if what I found applies to me only to be told 'no' when, in actuality, my new Protocol tells me that I HAD figured some things out! I know that @Dr. Stephanie Dunlop is active on here helping answering questions about labs, etc. but I highly recommend the RootRx program if you really want to get everything figured out once and for all. I am just beginning my 16-week Protocol and can already say that this will be the BEST money I have ever spent on myself hands down!! I am sooo looking forward to each step of the Protocol and the healing it is going to bring to me, both physically and mentally. I wish I could meet Dr. Stephanie in person so that I could give her the biggest hug LOL, but this 'thank you' post will have to do for now.

Hey everyone! I was on the DUTCH Podcast last week with Dr. Jaclyn Smeaton, and I want you to hear this one. Here's what we covered: ✅ Why "normal" on your lab report is a statistical average of a population where three out of four adults already have a chronic condition ✅ The four markers almost nobody runs: high sensitivity CRP, ferritin, homocysteine and fasting insulin (insulin can climb 5 to 10 years before your A1c ever moves) ✅ The client whose cortisol problem, progesterone problem and estrogen problem turned out to be one problem: low iron... and so much more! If you have ever felt like your labs said one thing and your body said another (most of us here right?!), grab a coffee and give it a listen.
