“All I have to say is that it took so many integrative and functional doctors before I reached out to you (Ms. Analia). You quickly figured out that I have a genetic disorder and I will need lifelong supplementation. 1 day after starting supplementation, I felt better than I have in the last 12 years of my life. This makes me angry that more functional practitioners don’t have the knowledge or training you have. I feel like I can be happy again, like someone reached inside my brain and pulled out the tangles. You are the bomb. It’s now been a few months since I started with you and I feel motivated to exercise and be a productive member of society. My mom can’t believe it. She has been crying with happy tears.” VD 18 years old.

What Our Patients Say
Thyroid issues and no energy
Before coming to FMCC I had been taking thyroid medication for years yet I wasn’t feeling up to par. My endocrinologist would run the usual labs and kept saying that my labs looked great, but I didn’t feel great. Coming to see Analia was a gift from God. She was able to show me that treating the person is more important than lab values and we were able to find the cause behind why my thyroid was out of balance to begin with! It turns out that I had gut issues and I can tell you that Analia is excellent
Before coming to see Analia, I had terrible digestive symptoms and I had not been able to eat regular foods for a long time. Right before I made an appointment, I was having diarrhea for 40 days straight and could keep nothing in. I had gone to so many specialists and all my tests were normal! I loved how in depth they were with their intake and how they helped me navigate through all the information I had gathered through the internet to make sense of what was happening to me. I now live a normal life and am able
Dr. Daniel introduced me to functional medicine in 2014 after hearing my health challenges and of my failed attempts to address symptoms with visits to clinicians who were not willing or able to put all the pieces together. They treat each client as they would their own family, offering unwavering moral support and proactive follow-ups. Functional medicine is not just a lifestyle for Dr. Rashid and Analia, but daily life they live, and therefore exemplify with their own family. I highly encourage other potential patients to invest in their own health and choose to move beyond the co-pay and impersonal
When I came to FMCC I could not walk a flight of stairs. I had gone to countless doctors and no one could diagnose me with anything. They walked me through a step by step process back to health. This took over a year but I had so much trust in them after our first appointment. They helped me with so many lifestyle changes and introduced healthy eating and healthy cooking back into my life, back to the foods my grandmother used to make for me. I began to feel better little by little and at each appointment we sometimes
Where do I start? I was on birth control, my skin was a mess, I had bloating, constipation and diarrhea, no energy, no libido, was a miserable human being and I was on the BCP, antidepressants, laxatives, had taken Rifaxamin three times, even my thyroid was starting to be sluggish. I just couldn’t take it anymore and one day a friend suggested I come see these beautiful human beings. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE how Dr. Rashid listened to every word I had to say in my first hour and a half consultation. This was unheard of for me! I
I came to FMCC looking for help with my libido and they ended up fixing my diet. That’s what Analia does, she connected the dots for me and made me see that my super restrictive diet was making me run on empty. The clinic is super detailed with testing and after about 8-10 months, my hormones are back to normal and I am no longer on a low/medium carb keto. At FMCC, they are very passionate about keeping the gut microbiome at top notch, so come prepared to take notes because everything is connected. Analia made me understand that keeping
It makes me sick to think all the times I’ve been prescribed antibiotics through the years.
I have quite a history. I’m of advanced age, and with decades of drinking, I quit over a decade ago and I can remember the doctors giving me a prescription for Cipro for excess gas. When I went back because I still wasn’t feeling well from excess gas, burping, belching, bloating, they’d give another prescription for Cipro. I remember when I was diagnosed with diverticulosis, with diverticulitis flare ups they started me on Flagyl and Cipro. It makes me sick to think all the times I’ve been prescribed antibiotics through the years. My health basically got out of control where
I was basically 85% disabled and barely able to work or do anything else.
Before I came to FMCC, I was in what felt like a critical situation. I was sleeping most of the day. I had episodes of barely being able to walk because of excruciating pain in my hips, flu-like symptoms, brain fog . . . I had suffered with this condition for approximately 4 – 5 months. I had gone to an acupuncturist, my regular doctor and a hormone specialist and none of this helped and no one could figure out what was wrong with me. I was basically 85% disabled and barely able to work or do anything else. Everything about the experience
“I had Epstein Barr Virus, possibly a re-activation which no other doctor had picked up…”
I had gone to a primary care and internal medicine doctors before coming to FMCC but they had said all my labs were normal. I was extremely tired all the time and I’m a first responder so that wasn’t an option for me. I don’t like to mess around so I wanted someone who could look under the hood and give me a thorough picture, someone who could use their brain and put clues together. I had EBV, possibly a re-activation which no other doctor had picked up because they hadn’t done the right tests. I did exactly what they
“I had developed food sensitivities, all kinds of digestive issues (I was told I had SIBO and SIFO), leaky gut, insomnia…”
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
