 Hey guys, this is Dr. Rochelle. I'm here with Harman or Harman Jeep. And man, we've had quite the road over the past four months. Do you want to tell people a little bit about what you came in with and your experience? So actually I started off reading your book because I just had insane brain fog. I went to like a million doctors, had a lot of food and childhoods. I didn't know all that part of the background. Yeah, I went to seven doctors from Akhizer and I went online. I started searching up. I found like Canada and Sibo and stuff. And actually found you on Yelp, which is where I found your book. So I started reading your book. So I started reading your book and I went kind of through your book. And then that's kind of when I realized I need a little bit more help than what the book had. And that's when I contacted your office and I came in with insane brain fog, depression, which is I was a really happy person so that was new for me. You seemed constitutionally happy when you came in. You seemed like a happy person, but you cried during our first visit. And I could tell that you were really just kind of debilitated by, I think the brain fog was the most detrimental symptom, right? Yeah, that was the worst for me. I couldn't even concentrate at times. So then, yeah, I came to you and you kind of helped me step by step. And it's been about, I'd say three or four months now. And your brain fog is pretty much gone. Yeah. And your reactivity to food, pretty much gone. So my heart broke for you when you first came in because I could see how, and as someone who suffered from the brain fog myself, I understand how it just debilitates you because you're at work and you're saying things and you're doing things, but in the back of your head, you're saying, I really don't feel like I'm making any sense and I really don't feel like I can concentrate and I really don't feel like I'm fully mentally present. And so I get how just frustrating it is. And didn't take a tremendous amount to get things moving in the right direction. We modified your diet. There were some food triggers. We used some antimicrobials. We used some gut healing compounds. But you said something that I thought was interesting, which I wanted to showcase in particular, which was, I encourage you to kind of expand your diet as we are working into this process. Because I had the sense that you were kind of working yourself into this restricted dietary corner. And do you want to share with people what you had said to me? Yeah. So I was only eating chicken and carrots. Pretty restrictive. And then last time I came to see you, you told me it was okay to try things, even if I had a slight reaction to them. And that opened so many doors for me because I kind of lost that fear of having even a small reaction and now eating so much. And I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you were so concerned about having a reaction to food that if you only had a slight reaction that in and of itself wouldn't have been that bad, you got so worried about that reaction that you exacerbated and made it worse. Yeah. Is that kind of fair to say? Yeah. So this is one of the reasons why I take a soft stance on dietary restrictions because people take the hard stance on dietary restrictions literally and they get really worried. And so these are some of the living, breathing examples of why I'm not super dogmatic about any kind of dietary restriction because people need a little bit of flexibility and also why I encourage people and clinicians not to over exaggerate their diagnosis because I think people have the tendency to go to the worst possible interpretation of anything. Yeah. So as the clinician, if you make that worse, you're really exacerbating the situation whereas if you can be a bit more conservative and cautious with the mentality or the prognosis or the picture that you paint, you can help prevent that sort of situation where I think you were not feeling bad from food but maybe you were noticing like a slight blow and you were probably just freaking out inside and I can see the things that you would think like, oh my God, does this mean I have information on my gut, information on my brain and you start just freaking out and that stress is really unhealthy. Yeah. And now you're eating more foods. Mm-hmm. You had gluten-free pizza the other day. I did and it was really good and I didn't have a reaction to it. Good. Good. So yeah, I just wanted to share this with people. A couple of key things. Some well-constructed antimicrobials. We use the antimicrobials that we use in the book, a biodecure 1A and 2A, combined with some gut healing compounds, some adrenal support, essentially kind of like a FODMAP research or diet but without really tight boundaries and using her response to dictate what to eat and what not to eat. And it's only taken really, it's been about three, four months and you're pretty much out of the woods. We're going to follow up one or two more times to make sure that we maintain this trajectory that you've done awesome. Thanks. I am really happy for you because I can see how distressed you were when you first came in and is there anything else that you want to share with people in clothes? Well, first of all, you're a great doctor. Thank you. I've trusted you completely and you're just so knowledgeable. I just want to tell people don't be scared and, you know, come in. Okay. Well, thank you. I really appreciate that. I appreciate you sharing your story and, you know, I almost wish we had done a pre-post because you could, you know, you could see, you could feel how, and that's why I gave you a hug at the end of our first visit because I felt for you because I could see how much it was, it was really just affecting your life in a negative way. So I'm so happy that you're feeling better. Thank you. Thank you. Awesome.
