Hey there, Evan Hirsch here. Welcome back to another episode of the energy MD podcast, where we help you resolve your chronic fatigue long COVID and M casts by finding and fixing the real root causes of your symptoms, a combination of heavy metals, chemicals, mold, infections, and trauma when I call the toxic five. So really excited about today's episode, because today we're going to be speaking with a participant in our program, and we're going to hear how they resolved their fatigue and other symptoms. So sit right back, and let's jump into it. Hey, there, Alice, thanks so much for joining me here today. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us.

Alice  00:49

Happy to help.

Evan H. Hirsch, MD  00:50

Thank you. So you've gone through our program. So let's talk first about where you were at in your work, what symptoms you had before you started our program. What were you struggling with,

Alice  01:03

I had been sick for many years, unable to work. And many times, lots of aches and pains been down many roads, trying to find out what was wrong. I've had doctors that were uninterested in helping others that refuse to do blood tests. So I have not had a clue what's been wrong with me for years. This, when God showed me this program, I was excited because I knew I knew it was gonna help. And it identified things for me that I suspected but could never get any help with. And it's just been overwhelming.

Evan H. Hirsch, MD  01:44

And so thank you for saying that. So then when when you started off, what was your energy out of 10?

Alice  01:50

For I was very, very, very just dead tired all the time. There were I have spent weeks and weeks in bed at times.

Evan H. Hirsch, MD  02:03

And you had said that you'd been sick for many years, we talking five years, 10 years, 20 years. 1515 years. That's that's a really long time. And so you went through the program? And now what are your own? Then you also had you also had sleep issues? Right? And you had some? Yeah. And we found along the way that the BCI was a big issue and Bartonella some of these infections, right? And then where are you now in terms of the symptoms and your energy,

Alice  02:34

my energy is up to sometimes eight, on a scale of one to 10 I have a life I'm functioning, it doesn't kill me to go to the grocery store. You know, I can I have back issues and things that help keep me off my feet sometimes. But as far as energy, I have it to do things. And it's you know, my life, I haven't started to develop a life.

Evan H. Hirsch, MD  03:03

And so what does that mean? Is that going out with friends is that what does it mean to have a life again,

Alice  03:07

being functional in my church functional around my property, I have a large piece of oil have two acres. So I have a lot of work to do out here. And so I'm able to do a lot of things, keep this up, help other people, you know, sometimes we have to help each other within our church. And if I can be a part of this, and I can be a part of that. That's my social circle. And I didn't have it for so long.

03:35

It's amazing. It's helped me so much. I'm

Evan H. Hirsch, MD  03:39

so happy for you. So what would you tell somebody who's thinking about joining the program or looking into a program like this? And they're kind of on the fence because you know, it is expensive, right? You have to buy the supplements, you have to be organized, like there's quite a bit of work that needs to be done. What would you tell somebody like that?

Alice  04:01

Well, it I was blessed to have the money to do the program. And so, but the money even if you had say even if you had to borrow if your life was like of mine, and you want your life back, this program could very well help you. I mean it. It was overwhelming at first, but because of these q&a sessions that you provide for us, that helped me so much I couldn't concentrate first I couldn't read it first. I couldn't really focus on the program. So you helped me get started. And you've provided support all the way through. Yes, at times, I was like, I don't know what I'm doing. But you know, I could get support. And as long as I and I just kept doing it, I just kept doing it. And just finding out that I had infections I don't know what you know, everybody's got different causes. But that was huge that made the biggest difference. Infections. So I'd say that it's worth it because of the ongoing support, and that you're constantly updating the workbook and trying to help us to be able to understand it better. So it was worth it to me. Excellent.

Evan H. Hirsch, MD  05:16

Yeah. I mean, it's, you know, money can't take your money with you. Right? Exactly. You know, and you just have to determine what's the value of that getting your life back of getting?

Alice  05:29

Yes, for me, it worked. And I think it can work. Really, I think it can work for anybody. I don't you know, I'm not a doctor. So I don't know. But yeah, you know, you got to try something. I've tried many programs. Nothing. Different. This was very different.

Evan H. Hirsch, MD  05:49

Thank you. And so and what was the best part of the program? Do you think? Was it the Q and A's? Was it the workbook? What do you think, Well, step process.

Alice  05:58

The q&a is? Yes. I mean, they're invaluable. The Q and A's are wonderful. The step by step process, yes. I mean, you have to find out what's wrong before you can know. And that was my, I was overwhelmed at first trying to figure out what's wrong, but the way you've got it step by step, you can't really avoid figuring it out for too long to be able to figure it out. If you're willing to put in the time and the money, you should be able to figure out what's wrong.

06:32
