San Diego Naturopathic

I've been feeling off for years. Fatigue, brain fog, exhaustion, enormous weight fluctuations, and a host of other symptoms were slowly draining my vitality. I've often attributed the malaise to just burnout and overwork. While these are definitely contributors, I suspected something was happening internally, as well. When I'd go to most doctors' offices for checkups, the most common answer was, "You're textbook healthy in every way. Just lose a bit of weight and you'll be fine." This was the answer no matter the ailment (I know so many people who can relate to this!) Stomach pain? Lose weight. Chronic fatigue? Just drop some pounds. My labs and vitals would come back perfect, and I'd start another year of battling for scraps of energy.

By summer 2023, I'd finally had enough. I took a friend's advice and began looking into naturpathic paths and others knowledgable about hormones and other commonly misunderstood culprits.

I'm so glad that I took the leap and invested in SDN. By pairing supplements with lifestyle changes, I was able to attack issues at their root. I was able to make longlasting dietary changes that are now habits. I found out what was contributing so heavily to inflammation. I've begun to actually crack the code on this insomnia, and am finally getting more restorative sleep. But most of all, I finally feel seen. The labwork that Dr Wannigman orders look beyond the surface level. The benchmark is optimal health rather than "It's not bad enough yet". This has been such a relief. In addition, Dr Wannigman explains everything extremely thoroughly. Our appointments are lengthy and packed with detail, which really empowers me to monitor my health and make changes.

I was not too skeptical about getting started, since I've invested in personal development in the past, but I really was hoping that it would actually work. The sheer amount of detail presented in the first call and other reviews answered most of my questions. Any question I had before and during the 6 months was answered thoroughly and honestly. Dr Wannigman and the staff were conscientious of my time and budget, and respected both at all times.

While in this program, my body deflated as inflammation went down. My dependence on caffeine reduced as natural energy began to flow in. Slowly, the brain fog began to lift. I began to sleep restoratively and go through intense workdays without feeling perpetually exhausted. I've learned and engaged in new food preparation habits. I actually feel like I'm in my 30s now rather than like I'm sleep walking through life due to low energy.

SDN's program provides a lightweight structure that actually makes lifestyle changes possible and enjoyable. I have knowledge that I'll take with me for a lifetime. I cannot recommend SDN, Dr Wannigman, and the wonderful staff enough.
