I had gone to many conventional doctors, a health coach, a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner, a functional chiropractic neurologist, many functional medicine chiropractors, a functional immunologist, and even an herbalist/acupuncturist, and no one could make my fatigue go away. My family was very supportive of my team of practitioners bu I had been sick for many years. Analia figured out it was likely due to environmental exposure to pesticides in my college dorm. I had developed food sensitivities, all kinds of digestive issues (I was told I had SIBO and SIFO), leaky gut, insomnia, and I was forced to drop out of college.

I came to FMCC because a friend of a family member has been seeing them for years and since I already had all kinds of tests done, we only ran basic tests. The thing is that all of these previous “gurus” had missed the most basic of vitamin and mineral deficiencies and kept giving me diagnosis such as Lyme, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, SIBO/SIFO, mold toxicity, slow motility, etc. With each test and each practitioner I had a new diagnosis. I started working with Analia in January of 2019 after meeting with both of them initially and in 1+ year, I have come so so far. She is able to determine what the Citric Acid Cycle and the Electron Transport Chain are up to by looking at basic labs and the Organic Acids Test. I am still in awe of how she’s able to pick out that doctors with decades of experience have never told me. We worked on my hidden iron deficiency anemia, folate deficiency anemia, and on all of the lose ends of energy metabolism. Dr. Rashid and Analia are available when I need them but don’t require me to come in for silly things. As a broke college student, they have my budget in mind. I’m back in college now and working on weaning off some supplements. I highly recommend them.

I learned 2 things: the team I originally had has been replaced by them (my parents are very happy about this from the money aspect) and I am thankful everyday they are so smart that they were able to bring me out of the hole I was in. The second thing is that I’m never listening to another health summit ever again. None of those people are health gurus, it’s all marketing and the true healers are right here at FMCC. ~ Emily Y.
