My stomach had been ‘bothering’ me on-and-off for at least a year and my primary physician had diagnosed it as ‘stress related’, a byproduct of life (job, children, etc.). A friend casually referenced Forum Functional Health, so in time, I reached out to discuss my issues. The doctor and team were very knowledgeable with the functioning of the gut and how my symptoms were a direct result of my gut health. They administered a few tests, and with the results began a program to improve my gut health. After a number weeks on my individually tailored program, my stomach issues improved, and with continued attention during the subsequent couple months during which vitamins were recommended, and they explained how to incorporate the right foods in order to maintain my gut health, I no longer have ‘stress related’ stomach issues (despite the byproducts of my life remaining a constant).

Thank you

I’ve dealt with IBS, food sensitivities, acid reflux, joint pain, and mouth sores due to chronic stress over the last ten years of my life. Forum Functional Health is one of the first and only practitioners to show genuine interest in my health problems and help me find a way out of chronic infections, brain fog, and fatigue. They took the time to discuss my health issues, and listened to my concerns, taking into account existing test results and diagnoses, then ordered additional tests (urine, saliva, and stool) that helped us gain insight into other imbalances in my body such as adrenal fatigue and candida overgrowth.

An outlined course of treatment was recommended that was easy for me to stick to since I had already made dietary and lifestyle changes in an effort to heal my body. My treatment protocol has left me feeling more energized, and more like my old self. I finally have the stamina and energy to exercise regularly, which is a big accomplishment because I haven’t been able to stick with exercise for several years due to fatigue and chronic infections. I highly recommend Forum Functional Health. They are extremely patient, and took the time to follow up with me regularly. I finally feel like my health is a priority and I’m no longer slipping through the cracks, and that we got to the root of my health problems.

I had been suffering with ulcerative colitis for over 10 years. I had severe health problems, and it was impossible to live a normal life, maintaining a work schedule and social life with my frequent gastrointestinal symptoms.

After extensive use of conventional medicines with many side-effects and no real improvement I was desperate to try out another treatment.

Forum Functional Health did an in depth consultation listening to me, taking time that other practitioners did not. Several tests were ordered, and I began a protocol of supplements and dietary changes. I noticed relief in only a few months which continued to improve with time. Since I started with Forum Functional Health, nearly 8 months ago, I am symptom free! There is no blood issue any more, and my bowel movements are back to normal frequency. Recent blood work at my General Practitioner’s office also confirmed there is no inflammation left. It was so good to hear the words “everything looks normal”.

Thanks to Forum Functional Health, I have regained control and can live a normal life again. I hope many more will find this wonderful help and become as happy as I am.

My doctors could not find anything wrong with me, even though I felt tired and irritable all the time. They tried to put me on antidepressants because I always complained I did not feel like myself.Then I went to Forum Functional Health. They tested my hormones, as well as other systems of my body that can cause hormonal problems. My estrogen was high and my progesterone was low. I also had a gastrointestinal infection and liver detoxification issues. They started me off handling the GI infection and then the liver detoxification problems. Within weeks, I started noticing less brain fog and fatigue.

Oh yes….. my stubborn belly fat also started to melt away

I am sleeping great and my mood swings and irritability are also gone. I am not yet done with the program, but I look forward to the final product! My future looks so different. I tell everyone I know to go to Forum Functional Health.

Tell everyone I know to see Dr. Matiscik
