If they can get these results, so can you!
Anxiety, ADD, Depression, Respiratory Infections, IBS, Acne and Weight
Loren was an army lactation nurse that came to me in her 20’s grappling with the stresses of being a military nurse in an environment that shames mental and emotional issues as weakness, driving people to fear getting help. She was struggling with ADD, depression, anxiety, IBS, hormonal imbalances, recurrent respiratory infections, acne and weight gain. After only three months of working with us, she lost all of the extra weight and felt fit. Her skin cleared up, her digestion normalized, her hormones were feeling balanced, she stopped getting sick and was able to function well without ADD meds.
One day she spontaneously texted me:
I am so happy! This is the happiest I have ever been in my life. My depression is gone, my energy levels are perfect, and I hardly have anxiety any more. I feel like I am flowing through life. Thank you.”
Chronic Complex Illness (Including Debilitating Anxiety, Fatigue and Pain)
Erin is a mother and entrepreneur who owns her own real estate firm. She experienced a health breakdown in her late 30s with symptoms of debilitating fatigue, headaches, body pain and severe anxiety. She knew something was seriously wrong and said she literally felt like she was dying. After visiting dozens of doctors who couldn’t figure out what was wrong, she was told it was all in her head and prescribed Xanax. This drug treatment only made things worse, which led her to look for deeper answers.
When I met her, she was scared that she had literally tried everything and that there was no hope. She was willing to do ANYTHING to get better. She said, “If you want me to drink my urine, I’ll do it. If you want me to drink YOUR urine, I’ll do it.” With her total commitment to do whatever it took and the tools she needed to get to the root of the problem, she was successful beyond her wildest hopes.
I truly feel that I was blessed with a miracle when I met and started to work with Dr. Traci. Through personal coaching, she helped me through a complex and overwhelming health challenge, which I now see as a much needed wake up call to love myself on a deeper level.
She first gave me hope and then helped me put together and execute a simple plan which started my path to healing. It is through her combination of passion, knowledge, and the ability to help break down complex issues into lay terms that I was able to understand what I needed to do to assist my body in it’s own healing process. I wasted so much time and money on things that didn’t work. I would have paid double to get these results. I can not recommend Dr. Traci’s services enough. She literally helped me transform my life and for that I am eternally grateful to this loving, compassionate, and intelligent individual.
Digestion, Weight Gain, Chronic Pain, Anxiety, Alcohol
Daijo, an IT expert and veteran Zen Buddhist, came to me in his 50’s struggling with GERD, low energy, weight gain and a history of anxiety. He was also looking to reduce pain in his knees, hips, lower back, shoulders, and neck. He had previously felt overwhelmed by contradictory health advice and was feeling unmotivated to stick with any sort of plan. After completing a custom program, his food cravings changed, he accidentally lost weight, his energy increased, the inflammation started to melt away and he found he wanted to be more physically active. He ended up getting into fabulous shape motivated by pleasure and joy. He found himself looking and feeling younger.
He also shared that, not only did his self confidence improve, he also learned to love and nurture himself in ways that, years later, continue to delight and inspire him.
I just want to say how grateful I am to Dr. Traci to have learned a foundation for good nutrition and overall health based on science that may not be mainstream, but is powerfully true. This program not only changed my physical body, but it helped me let go of alcohol. This profound healing process also deepened my meditation practice.
Overwhelm from Chronic Complex Illness
Jasmine, a copywriter and transformational coach, posted on Facebook after we worked together:
This brilliant woman, Dr. Traci Potterf, helped me transform my health when I was at my absolute worst. She is a game changer and a life saver. She also connected me to half of my care team.
I had always hated cooking. I literally can’t believe I’m about to say this and mean this, but I actually…omg *gasp* I actually look forward to going to the grocery store and preparing a healthy meal for myself. This has never happened before, but because of Traci’s cheerleading, encouragement and specific actionable advice, I’ve actually had positive and empowering cooking experiences.
People use the phrase so and so ‘changed my life’ so loosely these days. But Dr. Traci literally changed my life for the better and I am so grateful for her. If you want to enjoy the many benefits of better health, I highly recommend working with her! Thank you, Traci. You are a life raft in choppy waters. I love you so much!
Digestive Issues, Insomnia & Mood
Ellen is a psychiatric nurse practitioner that came to us in her 50s feeling like she had tried everything. She was struggling with debilitating digestive issues. Also tied to her gut issues were recurrent sinus infections, chronic pain, trouble sleeping and mood struggles. She sent me a lovely card in the mail that read:
Decades of doctors charging thousands of dollars, years of suffering… Now it’s all a memory. Thanks to you, I have a digestive system that actually works for the first time in over 40 years. Love your wisdom, your humor, your compassion —just plain love you!
Overwhelm, Mood, Fatigue & Weight Gain
Daien, entrepreneur and owner of Beloved Yarn had this to say:
Working with Dr. Traci has revolutionized my life in myriad ways. Understanding how the different systems and organs respond to my daily habits gave me incredible insight to why I’ve felt overwhelmed, tired, emotional, and unwell during much of my life. It is not an exaggeration to say that within days of beginning to nurture myself properly, I felt like a new person.
The biggest benefit was that I was no longer experiencing chronic pain, which I thought was due to the aging process. It wasn’t! My body was responding to stressors and the foods that I couldn’t process by being in a constant state of inflammation. I would have thought that I would go through a withdrawal process, or feel deprived of favorite snacks and treats, but that’s never happened.
Following her guidance, I’m rewarded with clear, soft skin, an unexpected and natural loss of weight, a happy countenance, even emotions, and a sense of being fully in accord with life. This work has also allowed me to drop into a deeper practice of meditation and yoga.
I highly recommend Dr. Traci to anyone who is looking to feel better and live life more fully. She is a beautiful, knowledgeable, and loving guide to health and wellness!”
Medical Anxiety: Mastocytosis and Hemocromatosis
Tara, an organic farmer, artisan and mom approached me at her wit’s end with the exhausting, painful and debilitating impact of two genetic conditions, one of which had taken her dad’s life at a young age. She was terrified of not living to raise her son. I helped her learn how to use cutting edge science to customize a delightful lifestyle and supplement protocol to protect her heart and other organs as well as to increase her energy and soothe her emotions. She sent me this text out of the blue one day:
I just want to speak how much I truly appreciate the way you hold space and your approach in your work. You are such a strong support and it feels really really nourishing to feel held and seen and to have support of the wealth of tools and knowledge you hold be shared to help me on my healing journey. It brings tears to my eyes and warmth in my heart to feel your compassionate, honest, vibrant energy and the love you bring by being you and doing the work that you are so made to do. Thank you for helping me through this time.
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
Brigitte is a yoga studio owner who presented with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis in her 40’s. She was struggling with hair loss, low energy, sleep issues, inflammation and the beginnings of weight gain. She did not want to stay on synthetic thyroid the rest of her life if there was any chance normal thyroid function could be restored. Furthermore, she knew that something must be causing this that could cause other health complications down the road if this was not addressed.
She had a very busy schedule and felt overwhelmed by trying to figure out how to use food and other lifestyle interventions to have the best shot at remission. Through strategic habit changes, she was able to fall in love with a pleasurable lifestyle of self-care that worked with her full schedule and her unique biology. I also connected her with a functional medicine practitioner to address her clinical needs. Through this full-spectrum integrative approach, she was able to successfully address the underlying causes of her condition, restore normal thyroid function, lose the weight, gain strength, regrow her full head of hair and get off of her now unnecessary meds. Most importantly, she was able to get back to serving others and enjoying life, including falling in love and getting married. Now in her 50’s, she is fit, beautiful, energetic and vibrant.
The information and strategies that Dr. Traci teaches helped me get into remission from Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, and I don’t need medication anymore, because my thyroid is working again! I love and trust Dr. Traci. She has so many healing gifts to offer.
Weight Gain, Accelerated Aging, Chronic Symptoms
Mary is a speech pathologist that came to me at the age of 70 overstressed with chronic pain, fatigue, brain fog, osteoporosis, hormone imbalances, gut problems, stubborn weight gain, fear of eating fat and, as a result of decades of deprivation dieting, shame around eating pleasurable foods. After completing a custom program, she reports…
An amazing, unexpected, and oh so welcome outcome is that for the first time in forever, I eat without guilt! I seriously never put food in my mouth without feeling guilty…until now. Food is a joy! Cooking is a joy! Taking care of myself as though I were a loved one is a joy! I still care about how I look but care as much about how I am healing my body…I lost 30 pounds! As motivating as looking better is, the most precious gift is that I am improving my longevity odds and feeling great physically and mentally…Dr. Traci is a special combination of brilliant, gifted teacher who makes sense of complex science while doling out warm, fuzzy nurturing. I am so grateful to be on this journey.
Weight, Energy, Optimization, Prevention
Kellen, a hairstylist and woodworker in his 30s, came to me with a desire to lose fat, build muscle and have more energy. He was interested in both optimizing his health as well as preventing chronic degenerative diseases that are so common in our culture. His goal was to feel great, age well and stay off of medications as he ages.
There is no way that I could overstate the ways in which Dr. Traci has enriched my life. She helped me gain a comprehensive understanding of what my body wants and needs to function at its highest. I was cutting so many things out of my diet and under nourishing myself in the name of “nutrition.” She helped me to utilize the knowledge that she shared with me by breaking down very complex bodily functions into terms I can understand. The education allows me to take control and use the knowledge to make choices to enhance my entire outlook.
Each body’s natural tendencies will be different and she has taught me to work with mine with its unique set of imbalances. The body is a constant work in progress; there is no finish line. She has made this ongoing ‘work’ a joyous process of understanding and there has been a constant improvement in many areas of my life from working with her.
Symptoms & Optimization
Fe, a Producer & Director, came to me to help troubleshoot some minor symptoms and optimize her energy.
I have enjoyed Dr. Traci’s services. She coached me through a cleansing process that was one of the kindest and most fun protocols I have ever followed. Her knowledge, light spirit and tips are amazing. She is personable, reachable and available. I so value her and everything she has to offer.
Chronic Complex Illness (Including Fatigue, Pain & Brain Fog)
Ena, an archeologist in her early 40’s, came to me in tears of desperation and pain. Typically an athletic, active woman, she was at her wit’s end having been from doctor to doctor with no real answers. She suffered from debilitating fatigue, compromised brain function and was in so much pain, there was hardly a position she could be in or movement she could make that did not hurt. She couldn’t exercise and it was all she could do to handle her demanding job. In her customized program, she learned to use daily habits to heal her body and increase pleasure, energy levels and joy in her life.
With patient advocacy support, she made these changes in tandem with a functional medicine practitioner and we were able to help her determine that a combination of environmental exposures and other lifestyle imbalances had damaged her immune system and sent her into a debilitating downward spiral of severe inflammation. The light at the end of the tunnel is that she has been able to sustain energy, greatly reduce pain, be more active, enjoy cognitive clarity, drastically reduce stress, eat in a way she LOVES, sleep well and, most importantly, feel happy.
This work is one of the best things I’ve done for myself. Dr. Traci distills an amazing amount of knowledge, and in such an engaging and compassionate way. Her guidance has been a lifeline, a beacon in the storm. My journey back to health has been empowering and I am so grateful!
Acute Digestive Issues
Elizabeth came to me at the age of 72 already practicing a healthy, active lifestyle with low stress. This is why she was baffled that she was experiencing digestive malfunction and increasing abdominal pain. She was also dealing with arthritis and fluid retention. She tried the Whole 30 diet, but it didn’t work for her as a long-term solution. She said she felt like her gut was dragging her down from feeling happy and joyful, and this was very discouraging.
I had been having gut discomfort for a few years, but it was becoming more acute and painful. Since completing this program, my gut has never felt better! It’s a miraculous change! Huge thanks to you. I feel great and really appreciate your knowledge and help.
