Results
over 10 years of experience
for over a decade, I've been practicing as an ifm fully-certified functional medicine physician. my very favorite condition to help with is anything related to the gut...especially sibo.
OVER 1000 PATIENTS SERVED
serving in southwest virginia, I've helped over a thousand patients with gut-related issues ﹣often finding that over 75% of cases of ibs are really missed cases of sibo (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), imo, or iso.
1 SPECIALIZED SYSTEM = RESULTS
with 10 years of experience treating sibo, IMO, and IsO, we've discovered best outcomes happen with a dual approach: combining healing for both the belly and for the mind: The Mind-belly blueprint™
My Story ⬇️
Once upon a time... Doesn't every good story start this way?
During a worldwide pandemic 😷...oh boy, that's more like the beginning of a Stephen King novel. 😱
Through careful and thoughtful distancing, mask wearing, and a series of shots, the Arthur family had escaped the brunt of the pandemic. It wasn't until our boys returned to school in 2022 that they brought home the latest version of Covid-19. One by one, we all succumbed to the virus and one by one, we all healed, relatively unscathed at least from a respiratory standpoint.
Weeks after my own recovery, I began to feel my digestive system failing apart day by day. It started with mild symptoms like belching after meals and extra gassiness at night. Over a period of days, the symptoms worsened in severity and started increasing in frequency.
Soon, my symptoms were occurring daily and one night, I found myself so bloated that I looked down and thought, "You look 5 months pregnant!" 🤰
My waistband was terribly uncomfortable as my belly stretched beyond measure, pressing into and bulging over my belt. Like an over-inflated balloon, I had so much pain that I changed into some comfy sweatpants and just sat on the floor of my closet, rocking back and forth, hoping to will the pain away. As I rocked back and forth while holding myself, it dawned on me...I had SIBO﹣Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth.
By 2022, I had treated thousands of patients with SIBO, not once thinking that I would ever become a patient myself. I wasted no time getting my own breath test done and confirming my diagnosis. I started right into all of the tried-&-true protocols to eradicate my overgrowth, but there was one thing that these protocols didn't address...
My ANXIETY. 😬
I had never in my life experienced so much anxiety, worry, or sense of impending doom. ☁ It kept me up at night and it distracted me by day. I had seen this before in MANY of my patients who felt the same dark cloud following them around too.
Lucky for me, 2022 was the same year I completed my certification in RTT﹣Rapid Transformational Therapy developed by world-renowned hypnotherapist, Marisa Peer. I began to use everything I knew about hypnotism to help my brain make sense of what was happening in my body.
And something miraculous began to happen. My anxiety began to lift and all the things I was doing for my SIBO began to work better...like my treatments had been amped up, strengthened, put on steroids.
Combining the 2 approaches - 1 for the belly & 1 for the mind - was the secret formula. I began to share this secret formula with my patients, and they too saw accelerated paths back to wellness.
I knew we were onto something BIG and this approach needed to be shared with more people than I could reach in southwest Virginia.
out of my story, The Mind-Belly blueprint™ was born and the rest is what we call history.
