I love this story because it is a great example of the interconnectedness of our healing community here at LTYG! One of my readers, Nishtha Patel (no relation – Patel is a common Indian name – similar to Smith in the US) used the protocols in Listen To Your Gut to heal her daughter.
Nishtha was so inspired by what she learned on her daughter’s journey and her experiences with holistic healing that she went back to school to train as a naturopath in the UK. She is currently studying Functional Medicine in the USA and can be contacted for advice or consultation in person or by phone/Skype through her clinic ZEST.
I recommend booking with Nishtha Patel if you would like the additional support of a nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner on your healing journey who is personally familiar with my protocols. How cool is that!! What a beautiful circle of learning, healing and paying it forward.
Here is the article about Nishtha in What Doctors Don’t Tell You magazine or you can download the PDF.
