FxMed Centers

For several years I had gone the conventional medicine route, but found absolutely no answers/remedies for the maladies I was experiencing. Shortly after consulting with Dr. Gourdine (blood tests, urine tests, etc included), she provided a treatment plan along with her interpretation of the reason why I had been experiencing what I was, and after implementing the plan (supplements, radical diet change, exercise, etc), I improved dramatically. If you want specialized, individualized medicine at its best, FxMed Centers and Dr. Gourdine is the way to go. I’ve actually recommended her to others and they have been awed by the experience and attention to detail as well. If you haven’t found a solution, give it a shot. And if you want guidance as to how to optimize your health and well being, you’re in good hands as well. You won’t be disappointed at all. More...

In June of 2017, my general doctor diagnosed me with Hashimoto Thyroiditis. My TSH level was at a 10.18 (normal range 4. 5) and I had thyroid antibodies of over 600 (normal 0). I was told prescribed to Levothyroxine for the rest of my life since Hypothyroidism was a lifelong illness. I REFUSED to believe that. When I panicked, my doctor told me not to worry and that most of his female patients had this condition. His comment caused me to feel uneasy. I thought it was odd that my general doctor did not even ask me how I was feeling, he didn't ask me about my symptoms, nor did he ask me about the potential causes of my diagnosis. I wasn't given any alternative options or any information on the condition. After I got off the phone with my doctor, I searched all over the internet to find out as much as I could about Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's. I stumbled upon a group that directed me to find a functional doctor and change my diet.I learned to remove gluten and dairy from my diet which was very difficult but I tried it anyway. As soon as I let go of dairy and gluten, I had more energy and was no longer falling asleep all day. In the meantime, I researched the FXMed website and looked up functional doctors in my area. Dr. Vanessa Gourdine came up and so I called the office to get an appointment. I was hesitant at first and unsure of what to expect. I was reluctant to even schedule an appointment because I knew the services wouldn't be covered fully by insurance.I started working with Dr. Gourdine in July of 2017. Throughout our consultation, I was able to figure out some potential root causes for my Thyroid issues. We discussed all areas of my life, career, finances, health, nutrition, fitness, feeling and emotions, family life and history, genetics, past traumas. We also discussed personal and romantic relationships. I was a little confused at first as to why she wanted to know all these things. What does my thyroid have to do with all this? I asked myself. Then I realized it had everything to do with my biochemical imbalance. I took a series of functional tests where I discovered so much about what was going on inside of my body.After I received the results of the functional tests, Dr. G. created a treatment plan which was designed specifically for me to take action on. It consisted of following a very restrictive diet and taking a number of supplements to help bring my body back to its normal and natural state. I have to admit, I was a little skeptical but I had already invested a lot of time and money so I promised myself I would see it through.A couple of months after working with Dr. Gourdine, AND doing the work required, I have gained my confidence and energy back. Dr. Gourdine alleviated my depression, fatigue, and anxiety by brining me back to good health with Functional Medicine. I am taking care of myself in ways I've never done before. No longer do I feel bad about myself and my life. I have the tools I need to maintain a healthy life. I know that food is medicine and it is important to educate myself on what to eat and which supplements are beneficial specifically for me. I've literally transformed my life through Functional medicine. It feels liberating and empowering. By the way, my TSH level went from 10.18 to 3.9 and my doctor told me that was impossible. I highly recommend anyone who wants to gain back control of their health and their lives to work with Dr. Gourdine. She's very understanding, attentive and knowledgeable. With Dr. Gourdine, you will get the results you are looking for. In the process, you will learn so much more about yourself. This has been a very arduous process but it is worth every second and every dollar I spent. Invest in your holistic health! You deserve it! More...

I was referred to Dr. Vanessa Gourdine because of having multiple health issues. I had aches and pains in the joints and in muscles. I had a heart problem that my cardiologist was treating. I had type II diabetes. I received traditional medical care and was only getting a little bit better. I wanted to restore my health. Dr.Gourdine did a very extensive evaluation on me using the Functional Medicine approach. It was time consuming and costly in the beginning. She provided me with a very detailed explanation and results from my lab tests. Her treatment plan was very detailed and got to the root causes of my issues. I am off of my medications and it has been a major transformation in my health with a change in lifestyle, diet, personalized supplements, coaching etc... I am able to do all the things I use to do 20 years ago. I feel invigorated. My mood is excellent and I look forward to life now. I can't thank her enough for her caring support and insightful guidance. Thank-you, Andy More...
