The Healthplex

Where do I even begin? My health started declining rapidly in January this year, and despite multiple visits to my primary care physician, I wasn’t getting the help I needed. My symptoms were severe—chronic diarrhea up to 8 times a day, constant stomach pain, facial numbness, heart palpitations, daily panic attacks, blurry vision, and much more. My PCP kept attributing everything to anxiety, increasing my medications, and even prescribing schizophrenia medication as an anxiety treatment. But nothing improved; in fact, it only got worse. It felt like my entire life was spiraling out of control.

Desperate for a solution, I did my own research and found The Healthplex in May. From the very first call with Dr. Fern, I finally felt a sense of hope. He listened to me, validated my concerns, and assured me that their program could help. What truly impressed me was the thoroughness of the lab work they conducted—it was far more detailed than anything my PCP or even the hospital had ever done.

Now, four months into the program, I can genuinely say it was the best health decision I’ve ever made. My life has completely turned around. I’m finally sleeping through the night, I’ve lost 20 pounds, and my gut is healed. The panic attacks have stopped, my vision is clear, and I’ve regained my energy and focus. Remarkably, I’ve also been able to stop all my previous medications, including two blood pressure medications and the anxiety medication.

The support from The Healthplex team has been incredible. They were always there for me, checking in regularly and guiding me through every step of the program. I never felt alone on this journey, and their kindness and dedication made all the difference. I also learned so much about what truly works for my body. I always thought I was eating healthy, but this program showed me how to tailor my diet specifically to my needs.

I can’t emphasize enough how satisfied I am with this experience. The personalized approach, the support, and the life-changing results have exceeded all my expectations. I wholeheartedly give The Healthplex a 10 out of 10 and would gladly go through this program again. It has given me my life back.

It is with great enthusiasm and gratitude that I submit this five-star review for the Functional Medicine Lifestyle Program at The Healthplex. I chose to embark on my six month lifestyle program to address some chronic health challenges and prevent familial heart disease and diabetes. It was time for me to get some help addressing root causes of issues and prevention rather than to wait and treat symptoms later when ill. The return on investment (of time and money) has been priceless. Significant health improvements, weight loss, identification of food sensitivities, improved sleep, wellbeing, energy, and hope for continued progress make all the hard work worth it. The program is solid and the amount of support that is offered through the written curriculum, weekly group videos, archived videos, and individual consults is amazing. The staff are genuinely invested in the clients; they truly care about your progress. Thanks to this program and the wonderful people at The Healthplex, I have tools that I will use the rest of my life. If you are on the fence about participating in the program, don’t hesitate- invest in yourself!

Where do I start. About 4 months ago I finally hit the bottom and could not settle with what my results and what my doctors were telling me. I knew there was something else going on. I am not the type of person to take medicines so I found it hard to accept. Doing research and finding a ton of information not sure if it was correct or not on social media I decided to look locally. I stumbled on Healthplex. After reviewing the reviews, their mission statement and what they did I decided to pull the plug and contact them. This initial contact was the end of May beginning of June.
After my first consultation with the staff I had a good feeling. My final decision to go for it was when I spoke with the Doctor there. After my hour long appointment with him and learning more than I have ever learn with my primary care doctor I decided to try the program.
Now I am not even close to finishing the program as my first official day on program was July 1 I can say that my energy, sleep and eating has improved tremendously. I am not getting a full 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. My physical fitness it back to where I feel like I want to work out not the dreaded have to. I can eat and not get nausea and so much more. The absolute best is I have lost 27 pounds with out starving my self and with out any drugs.
So if you have any doubts do your research and definitely look into the folks here at Healthplex I know I am glad I did

At age 50, a Type II diabetes diagnosis really through me for a loop. My A1C was initially over 10 and I was in the OBESE category with a BMI of 36. I tried everything from hypnosis, acupuncture, fad diets, weight watchers, etc all while walking 3 miles a day and staying active hiking and kayaking. I love to travel and when I would see picture of me I just cringed. At age 55 I found Healthplex via a Facebook ad and could not be more thrilled. I am exactly 3 weeks into a 6 month program. Everything is very easy to follow with great documentation and wonderful support. Understand that I was ADDICTED to sugar and caffeine. There was not a day when I didn't crave and cave in to eating a candy bar and drinking ice tea. So, the 1st three days of the plan were tough for me because of the withdraw causing a headache. Day 4 was like a new sunny day. I started the plan at 190 pounds. Today I am 174 and feel amazing (21 days on the plan). Not only that, my BMI is a more reasonable 32 and my blood sugars are IN RANGE for the first time since being diagnosed. When I say this program is a life saver, I am not exaggerating. I used to dread going to my PCP and getting the same lectures and referrals to nutritional support sessions. I took their advice and yet never lost more than a pound or two. I have to say the most profound difference is that I felt like the tin man without oil every day. My joints ached and I could barely get out of bed in the mornings. When I say I haven't felt this good since my 30's when I was in the US Navy, I cannot believe it myself. My family immediately noticed my "better mood"....amazing when you don't have constant pain. I have spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on foot inserts to relieve pain, prescription meds for high bp, high cholesterol, depression and pain, and every over the counter remedy for pain and weight loss. I even had the lap band surgery and never lost more than 5 pounds. I KNOW I will continue to be successful on this program even though it won't always be easy because it makes sense and I do not feel 1 tinge of hunger or cravings at all. I honestly is nothing short of a miracle for me personally.
