Create A Lifestyle, Not A Fad Diet

by Dr. Darren Schmidt | Follow The Physiology

Flipping back and forth from carb-burning to ketosis is very healthy and shows fitness and flexibility in your cells.

This is all about a natural BALANCE. This is a “balanced diet” that can be a lifestyle rather than a fad diet. Learn how to create a healthy lifestyle below.

So this is not something that you will fail at if you decide to take a day off and eat your favorite foods! i.e enjoy your cheat days!

Remember, it is totally safe to eat meat no matter what you heard in the past or will hear in the future. Organic, grass-fed is obviously the best meat but do your best based on your budget and availability.

Many people will continue to tell you that meat is bad for you but simply ask them for the scientific evidence that supports their statement. Anyone trying to find this evidence will only ever come up with survey-type polls. If you do ever find legitimate, experimental, scientific proof, please let us know and we will tell the world.

Try For Yourself!

This is a great opportunity to try this yourself and be your own judge!

It’s all about feeding, strengthening, and supporting your organs to reverse engineer your lactic acidosis and stop it from killing your cells and flip over to the most important fuel, ketones.

However, there is a point of no-return though so start now to get your health back. Don’t wait until after you have severe lactic acidosis such as cancer, diabetes, or a heart problem.

Lactic acidosis is a temporary state that your body goes through during exercise OR during a bad diet. This means lactic acidosis is occurring during a short period of time but it needs to stop with a healthier diet. It’s originally designed by Mother Nature almost as a buffer under certain circumstances but then you are supposed to come out of it. The danger is when you are in it all the time.

An analogy would be the caveman – a state of stress activates adrenaline and all hormones to create a sudden boost of energy that allows him to escape and save his life – example – running away from a bear. Once the bear is gone, the stress is gone, too. And everything goes back to normal.

Unfortunately with our current lifestyles, we end up being stressed for extended periods of time, sometimes years, and this puts our bodies under a huge strain and we start to break down because stress is only meant to be a temporary state.

This is very similar to lactic acidosis – it’s perfectly fine for short periods of time – example – exercise – but is dangerous for our bodies if experienced for a long period of time or high amounts in a short period of time.

Therefore, to help your body to naturally clean out lactate the way Mother Nature intended you need to “Follow The Physiology Formula”.

We See A Doctor First…

When it comes to chronic illness there are 3 main causes you need to understand.

But first, typically when we are not feeling well, we go to the doctor with a health problem and they perform some tests and in most cases end up prescribing a drug.

This is typically what tends to happen, which is why we have developed a mindset that thinks if we take a drug everything will get better and go away.

A classic example is having a headache, we take a few pills and the headache goes away. Therefore we never really work out why we had a headache in the first place. We never realize that the headache could have been a message from our body trying to tell us that something is wrong. This also means we never try to discover the cause that is directly responsible for the headache and instead we continue as normal.

This helps to highlight that there is more than just taking a pill that needs to be considered. Even though taking drugs may be needed — do they cause any side effects? Sometimes the side effects of taking a drug can start you on a journey to a whole new set of problems.

This means if you do have some form of chronic illness then you need to look at your lifestyle and see if you can work out what you have done that could have been responsible for causing your illness.

Instead of ignoring any underlying issues, I will give you the tools so that you can make new decisions that will create a new, healthy living plan.

The Three Main Causes of Chronic Disease

To address these underlying issues, let’s first gain a deeper understanding of the 3 main causes of chronic disease that modern medicine sometimes doesn’t initially address. By knowing about them, you can create a healthy lifestyle for yourself.

The first cause of chronic disease is Toxins:

Chemical and heavy metal toxins include substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, chlorine, bromine, pesticides, medications, and seed oils (formerly known as vegetable oils). These toxins need to be cleaned or detoxed from the body and the best tools are nutritionally based, not drug-based to clean out chronic toxicity. (1)

viruses can be toxic — A VIRUS IS A PATHOGEN

The second cause of chronic disease is Pathogens:

These infections can live in our bodies without us knowing it. They hide from the immune system and do not always cause “cold or flu-like symptoms”. They are not affected by or killed by common antibiotics and they can mimic our DNA so that they are camouflaged to our immune cells.

The third cause of chronic disease is processed food in the modern diet that is filled with sugars and is high in carbohydrates.

Seed oils, formerly known as vegetable oils, are highly processed, highly inflammatory synthetic foods that produce disease in our bodies too. Sugar and seed oils combined have contributed to the worst epidemic of chronic disease in history, with global explosions of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cancer.

The sugar industry has tried to hide their sins (2) but the seed (vegetable) oil industry is caught red-handed. (3)

Improve The Health Of Your Organs By Burning Fat

by Dr. Darren Schmidt | Follow The Physiology

When it comes to your diet, the answer is to support your organs to reduce lactate and other wastes naturally.

Eat meat and vegetables — EAT MEAT AND VEGETABLES

Your liver cleans out 85% of the lactic acid and your kidneys clean out a further 15%. Then you need to support all of your other organs as well because they all work together. For example, your thyroid can cause problems that can hinder your liver functions.

So how can you best improve organ health and make sure they are all working together to help naturally reverse engineer lactic acidosis?

The first thing is to avoid sugar.

The second is to eat more vegetables.

And the third is to eat more meat.

Meat plays a significant role in addressing the “lactate” part and the “acid” part of lactic acidosis.

Meat supports the structure and function of ALL the organs and your muscles. When all the organs work well, then lactate and other toxins are naturally removed.

AND meat provides “heme iron” which supplies oxygen and iron to the muscles. The oxygen attaches to the acid, which is hydrogen and forms water H2O. Oftentimes, the acid is embedded deep in the muscles which is why various muscle symptoms are common in many chronic illnesses. This is the best solution for the acidosis problems.

It may seem unusual to find out how beneficial meat is to your body, especially when you hear a lot of people say meat is bad for your health!

This is typical because of all the mixed messages being spread around from many different sources. But when you dig deep into the factual scientific evidence, you quickly find out that these rumors are based on observational studies, also known as epidemiology. These are general surveys, rather than an actual scientific method.

To learn more, I have created a Free eBook Guide called the “Follow The Physiology Formula” – Click here to download:

The scientific method has several steps which includes:

1) Make an observation

2) Form a hypothesis

3) Test that hypothesis with an experiment

4) Have someone else replicate the results of the experiment.

Whereas the observational studies only do steps one and two and they never do an experiment. They have consistently given false conclusions. When an experiment is done, such as a clinical trial, it is seen that a low-carb diet is the most important diet and it beats out the low-fat diet that has been promoted since 1980 by the USDA.

Eat Meat!

Disease is always from processed foods — EAT WHOLE FOODS

Do not be afraid of eating meat. No one has ever gotten cancer, diabetes, or a heart attack from meat. There is not a single scientific experiment to ever show meat causes disease. Disease is always from processed foods including sugars, grains, and seed oils.

Meat is the most important food there is to stop the lactic acid cycle.

Therefore, to reverse engineer the lactic acid cycle, you need to understand more about Ketosis and the next steps to take.

Now that we have established that the most common cause of poor health is a high carbohydrate diet and that this is the major factor causing most chronic illness, we need to take steps to reverse engineer this. You will need to understand more about achieving Ketosis, which will change the cells from burning sugar into the cells burning fat. Cells using sugar for fuel contributes to chronic illness including diabetes, heart disease, cancer, arthritis and obesity.

In order to stop this, you need to focus on a low-carb diet which most of the time includes eating more meat. Yes, there are other ways to get there but the easiest and most natural way is to focus on meat and reduce your carbs significantly.

By doing this your body starts to break down its own fat stores – such as the fat that’s in your abdomen – this is the fat that is clogging up your arteries, liver, and pancreas.

You need to get rid of this fat and there is really only one way to do this healthfully.

Burn Fat

You need your body to burn its own fat stores and at the same time improving the health of your organs.

The physiological term for this is called ketosis. I think everyone has heard this term, but not many people really understand it. The word ketosis is commonly used to sell products, but those are not necessary. It is a very basic thing to do. It is the native state of the body.

For your body to use its fat for energy – all it’s doing is turning the fat into 3 water-based chemicals called “ketone bodies” which are a great source of energy for your cells!

So how do you get into Ketosis?

There’s only one thing that matters to get into ketosis. That is to get your grams of carbohydrates very low – below 20 grams per day. You end up eating more meat and fewer plants.

But once you are in ketosis, it doesn’t mean you have to stay in it and worry about falling out and failing. No, this is a natural state the body gets into as soon as it moves into burning your fat for energy. Therefore, if you get out of ketosis sometimes and burn sugar again, it actually doesn’t matter and can even be good for your body to move between the two states.

Meat Plays A Significant Role In Your Body

by Dr. Darren Schmidt | Follow The Physiology

So you need to realize that if you are creating lactic acidosis within your own body or have been for many years; you need to stop – now.

In regular medicine, there is a pattern of lab tests that appear throughout a person’s lifetime.

The first positive lab test that is high is insulin. A great researcher named Dr. Kraft discovered that 90% of 19-year-olds had high insulin due to their high carb and sugar diet and it only gets worse as we age. (1)

Later in life, the next medical tests that are abnormal are high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Then the typical response to this is to be prescribed medication as a bandaid – not a cure. These drugs do not fix the underlying Cause nor Mechanism.

Then again later in life, the lab tests show the liver and kidneys are malfunctioning. Now we have a disease process continuing that should have been prevented many years earlier. Once again more medication is prescribed to avoid critical life-threatening effects.

Then finally, the last lab test that MDs will find is high lactate – which is evidence that the body has been suffering from sub-clinical lactic acidosis over a long period of time.

Although the lactic acid cycle has been occurring for many years or even decades, it doesn’t mean that the lactate blood test will be high because the body compensates to keep it down earlier in life.

Also, the body does its best to prevent the blood from becoming too acidic- so the official diagnosis of lactic acidosis does not apply to most people until the very end of their life.

But the lactic acid cycle, once understood, helps you understand the mechanism of how your health degenerates. And it helps you understand that the best way to keep your health up is with lifestyle choices, natural remedies from food and supplements, and exercise.

When you think about your health in terms of preventing and reducing lactic acidosis, the death cycle, it is more holistic and more encompassing of all options to get your health back.

Compare this to only trying to “control your blood pressure” which is short-sighted, a temporary band-aid. Or compare it to only controlling your blood glucose with drugs. Or even getting rid of chronic pain with a pain killing drug.

Symptoms of Chronic Disease

The lactic acid cycle explains the symptoms of most chronic illnesses. I have linked about 150 symptoms and conditions to it. This highlights that there can be multiple symptoms within your body that are in relation to one commonality – lactic acidosis.

150 symptoms and conditions linked to lactic acidosis

For example, if someone comes to me with multiple symptoms such as fatigue, depression, or muscle soreness I can quickly determine through, history, diet, lab work, and other testing which of their symptoms were caused by Sugar, Toxins, and Pathogens.

It commonly becomes highlighted that Lactic acidosis is the Mechanism.

I can start to address each step and begin the cycle of reverse engineering their condition.

Preventing Chronic Disease

When it comes to preventing lactic acidosis, it’s important to learn more about the physiology of chronic disease. It’s just as important to understand how cells die as it is to understand how to make them healthier.

When you gain a deeper understanding as to how your cells are dying it becomes easier to prevent it if you are healthy or reverse engineer it if you have a chronic health problem.

If you are trying to create a healthier lifestyle or maybe feel as if you are suffering from chronic symptoms, you now have a new way of approaching this especially as you become more aware of Lactic Acidosis as the mechanism and Sugar, Toxins, and Pathogens as the major causes.

Together these create symptoms such as fatigue, depression, or muscle soreness being some of the main ones.

As an example, does a prescribed drug fix any aspect of dying cells or the physiology of lactic acidosis… or does it just squash a symptom?

your food feed or reverse engineer lactic acidosis — DOES THE FOOD YOU EAT FEED OR REVERSE ENGINEER LACTIC ACIDOSIS?

Does that food you are about to eat feed the pathological process of your dying cells and increase lactic acidosis or does it reverse engineer it and prevent it from ever affecting you?

How do you know which herb or supplement to take that will positively affect your health by reversing engineering lactic acidosis?

By understanding the physiology of chronic disease, all of this becomes easier to know what to do when it comes to reversing lactic acidosis mechanism and optimizing your health.

Support Your Organs

So when it comes to your diet the answer is to help support your organs to reduce lactic acidosis and other wastes naturally.

Your liver cleans out 85% of the lactic acid and your Kidneys clean out a further 15%. Then you need to support all of your other organs as well because they all work together. For example, your thyroid can cause problems that can hinder your liver functions.

So how can you best support your organs and make sure they are all working together to help naturally reverse engineer lactic acidosis?

The first thing is to avoid sugar.

The second is to eat more vegetables.

And the third is to eat more meat.

There are many benefits of eating meat, and meat plays a significant role in addressing the “lactate” part and the “acid” part of lactic acidosis.

Meat supports the structure and function of ALL the organs and your muscles. When all the organs work well, then lactate and other toxins are naturally removed.

AND meat provides “heme iron” which supplies oxygen and iron to the muscles. The oxygen attaches to the acid, which is hydrogen and forms water H2O.

In chronic illness, there is a common set of biochemical processes that lead to anatomical changes that cause cells, tissues, and organs to die. This mechanical system operates in a series of causes and effects.

When it comes to healing your body, you have to address the 1) Causes, the 2) Mechanism, and then 3) feed your organs to get rid of the symptoms.

There are many mechanisms but there is one single most common mechanism of chronic disease and it is called Lactic Acidosis. It is the most common mechanism because our modern diet is so high in carbohydrates. Also, pathogens and toxins are key components.

If you don’t address this, you will significantly lower your chance of optimal health. When addressed appropriately, it’s life-changing and handles the widest variety of conditions and symptoms that were never considered related. (4)

History of Lactic Acidosis

Here is some history of lactic acidosis: In the late 1700s “lactic acid” was discovered as a chemical compound. It was a slightly foul-smelling, thick, mucousy liquid that was reminiscent of sour milk. “Acid” indicated the smelly odor and “lactic” indicated it looked like milk.

In 1848, lactic acid was found in a majority of cadavers and in the next decade, it was discovered in a majority of people with a chronic illness. These discoveries set the stage of medical research for the next 100 years. The main goal of doctors treating the chronically ill was to eliminate lactic acid or it’s breakdown product: lactate.

Since the 1920’s, it has had several different names, applications, and definitions.

I figured out lactic acidosis in March of 2016 when I unknowingly suffered from toxic mold exposure. Besides having its own toxic properties, black mold also releases lactic acid in high amounts. I suffered from this for a year before discovering that my Cause was mold.

In the meantime, I had to go back to old nutrition and medical texts and articles (5) (6) from 1930 to 1961 to understand what was happening to my body. Lactic acidosis has been forgotten since 1961 for several reasons but it is time to bring it back so we can all benefit. We hope this article helped you understand the importance of healthy lifestyle habits.

Ketosis To Heal Your Organs and More!

by Dr. Darren Schmidt | Follow The Physiology

One of the most efficient ways of avoiding lactic acidosis and chronic illness is to make sure you are feeding your organs and especially your muscles because your muscles are your largest “organ”.

Feed your body with ketogenic foods to heal your organs — FEED YOUR BODY HEALTHY FOODS TO HEAL

You have pounds and pounds of muscles and if they aren’t fed well, your other organs don’t have a chance.

This tends to be something that we don’t think about. We eat food to get energy and to have a healthy body. But really we are eating food to make our cells healthy and cells make up tissue which makes up organs.. Therefore you need to think about the food that your organs need to become healthy.

As we mentioned earlier your Liver cleans out 85% of the lactate and the Kidneys clean 15%. The main tissue that creates lactate is your skin, muscles, and brain. When you exercise, your muscles are going to produce lactate. When you are using sugar as fuel, your body is going to produce lactate. Even your brain cells are creating lactate.

This is an example of your entire body creating lactic acidosis, which in turn puts your organs under pressure to try to clean out all of that lactate.

To help better support your organ health it is important to achieve Ketosis and feed your organs by eating more Meat and Organs.

By doing this and keeping your carbohydrate intake low, your body can use its own fat to create its energy. Your body will produce chemicals called ketones which is a much cleaner way for your body to produce its energy.

By feeding your organs meat and organs you can prevent and stop the lactic acid cycle and then you can focus on vegetables as a secondary source of supporting your organs in their cleaning process.

Vegetables still have a benefit such as sulfur in radishes and methyl groups in beets that help the liver work better to clean your blood.

ketogenic foods to heal your body and organs — KETOGENIC FOODS TO HEAL YOUR BODY

When you increase your meat intake as you lower your carbohydrate and sugar intake, chances are you will start feeling better ie. more energy, more muscle, loss of fat, better brain power, clarity of thought. But you are also preventing heart disease and diabetes. If you are getting into ketosis, you are also helping to kill cancer cells.

It’s important to understand that when you are in Ketosis, your body is producing ketones for energy and lowering your blood sugar. In this process, you are also starving cancer cells, since cancer feeds on sugar. It has been shown that ketones are toxic to cancer.

Testimonials:

My husband found Dr. Schmidt’s YouTube channel and had been watching for several months, finding the information very helpful and educational. So when we decided to make a trip to the US in May 2017 to visit friends (we live in the UK) we also decided to book appointments with Dr. Schmidt at his clinic and see him too while we were there. He assessed us both and gave each tailored (bespoke) plans for the health aspects we were concerned about, it was a very, very helpful and informative afternoon. It is now late 2019 and we continue to benefit from Dr. Schmidt’s advice and information, we both continue to watch him on YouTube to learn more and would definitely see him again, either in person and via his distance consulting. And while we both have improved our health, I, in particular, have changed my life significantly for the better due to the path Dr. Schmidt set me on. The list of improvements is long and I am so very very grateful that Dr. Schmidt shared his information on YouTube so we could find it and learn. Words really cannot do justice to the positive changes I’ve made. It is a very sad thing, could just as easily be anger and betrayal really, that all my life (I’m over 60) I kept trying to do the right thing for my health. I did my best to follow the standard we have all been told for decades by those in authority and I tried many things – all were for nothing and none were sustainable for long, and are fundamentally flawed by low quality “science”. I had to put aside everything I thought I knew and start again to learn how our health is impacted by the food we eat and what food is truly healthy for humans. I will never go back! It is so sad to see how vested interests of corporations and academic institutions have been taking us down such an unhealthy path for so many years. And so sad to see many people one sees in public that could have a happier life if they were not so badly affected by years of wrong dietary information. Thank you loads to Dr. Schmidt and his staff, these words are genuinely meant yet so not enough to express the depth of gratitude felt!

I learned all kinds of unexpected things during my first couple visits. The staff was beyond friendly, helpful, and always seemed to know who I was and the questioned I asked — even though I was brand new to the practice. I’m also amazed how effective the supplements were within these first couple days of taking them! I’m feeling better than I have for over four months when my diet and sleep was way, way more strict! I’m excited to see how things improve over time!!

I would highly recommend Dr Schmidt. He is one of the most knowledgeable practitioners I’ve ever worked with. He has an amazing intuition for treating patients and gives great hope that one can recover their health.

On October 29, 2019 this year I traveled to this clinic in Ann Arbor from Minnesota. My medical clinic in Minnesota was not helping me solve my issues since 2012. I used the Long distance program with 5 appointments. By October 31, Dr. Darren Schmidt had figured out which supplements I needed through muscle testing. I was not aware my body knew what I needed. Dr. Schmidt is very disciplined, knowledgeable, able, and intelligent. His highly respectful staff is excellent to work with. I have huge hope for my future now and I feel better every day with results I have wanted to see for a long time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I am telling all my coworkers about this miracle.

Great clinic. I am having great results with my nutritional support. Together with the educational videos I am improving my health every day!

From California: Started seeing Dr Schmidt May 23. It’s November. I’m 25% healthier. No more parasites kidney stones diverticulosis issues tiredness and fatigue. Or skinny bony-ness. I gotta say, my body feels different. like I got a brand new body. It’s absolutely worth it if you’re battling with health issues.

Knew which lab work I needed when, in fact, indicated extremely high thyroid antibodies. With the diet changes and supplements he suggested I have lost weight, have better energy and improved digestion. I no longer have to take short naps to help me make it through the day.

Regarding my concerns about dementia, which runs in my family, it feels like a light bulb has been turned back on in my brain.

I have gone to many health care practitioners throughout my life but none with the knowledge and skill of Dr. Schmidt. I highly recommend him.

Best holistic functional medicine Doc in the world. Under his care, my mother is off 14 prescription drugs, has reversed diabetes, hypertension, chronic UTI, chronic Bronchitis, rheumatoid arthritis and sleep apnea. She has lost 22 kgs (48.5 lbs.) and is healthier than ever. May Almighty bless him and his staff.

Dr. Schmidt has been taking care of my husband over the past several months. He has helped with multiple health conditions concerning us.

His recommendations have greatly improved and normalized my husband’s blood pressure more so than any formerly prescribed medication. My husband has reduced and maintained his weight at a healthy level which has helped with his overall health, thanks to Dr. Schmidt’s Keto Diet recommendation. As an out-of-state patient under his distant patient program, we find Dr. Schmidt and his staff highly responsive and helpful in addressing my husband’s overall health and wellbeing through comprehensive phone interviews.

Also, thank you Dr. Schmidt, for the incredible research you provide us through your YouTube channel.

Dr. Schmidt and his team are exceptional and I’m incredibly grateful for what they do. Over the past year I’ve been treating a serious candida overgrowth which was causing all kinds of health issues many of which I had not realized were connected to this issue. Now I’m symptom free and healthier than ever because my doctor knows exactly what to do so how cool is that.

This really works! I’m a 65 year old fairly healthy woman and I’ve had so many noticeable changes in my health since starting as a patient of Dr. Darren Schmidt. I wanted to get off my medications when I started in early July 2018 and after two weeks, quit using my steroid inhaler. I’ve tried to quit before but after 3-4 weeks, my chronic cough would return and I’d have to start using it again. But four weeks went by and no cough. It’s now been five months and it’s still gone and I haven’t used the inhaler once. And I can breathe so much deeper. I just went to see my M.D. who said my lungs are ‘really clear’ now. That would have been enough for me to make Dr. Schmidt’s treatment protocol worthwhile but there was so much more. My brain fog was lifted. My memory is so much better now and I feel ‘smarter’. And if that wasn’t enough, my tinnitus is GONE, I mean really gone and it hasn’t come back in five months so far. I didn’t even expect that would happen! It’s SO awesome to wake up in the morning and lay in bed and hear silence. I’m now working on my hypothyroidism. I’ve been off my Synthroid since early September 2018 and this has been tougher but the supplements make me feel warmer and have more energy. I’ve lost 12 pounds so my BMI is in the normal range now, not overweight. This program is the coolest thing I’ve done for myself in my whole life!

I am so incredibly blessed to have found Dr. Darren Schmidt’s videos on Youtube! I began watching him as I was exploring a ketogenic lifestyle. About four months into watching his videos, I heard him talk about his own experience with a pounding heart and high blood pressure. His story was my story! Gratefully, he has distance appointments with people, as I live on the west coast. I was determined to get off the medication I now had to take. I had thrown every natural remedy at it I could without luck. I called the Nutritional Healing Center of Ann Arbor and scheduled a distance appointment with Dr. Schmidt. It took a few weeks for my first appointment, but I assure you it was WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!!

Dr. Schmidt gave me a great analysis of what was going on with me…something medical doctors had completely missed. He started me on a protocol of supplements and a particular diet and in LESS THAN A MONTH…I am on a QUARTER of my blood pressure medication!!! I think within the next week I should be off of it completely, as frankly…it’s a little low now. 🙂 Having studied natural health as a hobby for several decades, I truly feel in my heart that Dr. Schmidt will go down in history as one of our greatest doctors ever. I really mean that. I have watched countless videos he has presented and have never come across anyone who has dedicated their lives this deeply to not only discovering useful information for the public to get a handle on their own health, but to actually share this information generously with all via Youtube. I have hope now that other problems will clear up that I have been dealing with. This man really knows his stuff. He is one of the most courageous, caring and intelligent beings on this planet.

Thank you Dr. Schmidt for all you do and to your kind staff for always being there for me. I love you all and I’m forever grateful.

After being sick and going back and forth to many different doctors with no results, I came across Dr Schmidt videos on YouTube . I watched every video that he had posted on YouTube. I made appointment to see him and with in one month I seen great improvement in my health. I can’t thank Dr. Schmidt and his staff enough they are my heroes.

I have been seeing Dr Schmidt since Sep 2016. He has helped to get my health and weight back in order within the first 6-8 months. I was also having auto immune, thyroid and knee and heel problems. Dr Schmidt has helped with all these issues and I am happy to say I feel really healthy and have a lot of energy now.

I have seen an Endocronologist for 7.5 years prior with absolutely no results. For all those folks out there with Thyroid problems and auto immune related issues I highly recommend seeing Dr. Schmidt instead. Sad to say The Endo specialists have absolutely no idea how to treat you!!

I am so happy and in debt to Marylin, my friend, who referred me to Dr Schmidt.

A big thank you to Dr. Schmidt and the entire staff at The Nutritional Healing Center of Ann Arbor for helping me to be healthy!!

Here are the important improvements in my health that have been achieved in only 7 months with The NHCAA. Weight down 38 lbs; waist down 4″; shortness of breath climbing stairs is gone; systolic bp down 15 points; stamina has increased; dizziness is gone; virtually all arthritis pain is gone; strength is returning; sleep has improved greatly; nighttime urination frequency reduced almost completely; brain fog reduced; blood sugar way down.

Dr. Schmidt knows what he is doing and almost anyone can transform their health by working with The NHCAA. This is not a one-way street, however. It requires dedication, commitment and belief in them and yourself. But it is so worth it!!!

I have been going to Dr. Schmidt for a couple of years. It has been a life-changing experience for me. I had been sick for 3-4 years – going to the doctor over and over, subjected to tests, yet no accurate diagnosis. Dr. Schmidt helped me identify the problem and do what was necessary to get well and maintain my health. Now, I am healthy and strong again! I can’t thank him enough!!

The NHCAA has helped me tremendously in just 2.5 months! My swollen knee is nearly 100% – I have full range of motion back and have been very pleased with the improvement. The process is straightforward and while the diet is somewhat restrictive, there are many foods I can eat and enjoy. I am feeling so much better and most of my top 5 health concerns have improved significantly. I have lost weight and feel like I am on the right path toward a healthier me.

Dr. Schmidt recommended that I begin an iodine regimen for my symptoms, which changed my mood instantly. I felt so happy and energetic. Along with other supplements that Dr. Schmidt suggested, my general health improved and I feel better every day. Thanks Dr.Schmidt and Staff!

Three months ago, after watching several of Dr Schmidt’s YouTube videos, I decided to contact him believing he could help me find the cause of my higher blood pressure. My BP had risen to 155/105 – 170/110.

I told him I was not interested in using drugs to suppress my systems, I only wanted to find the cause and correct it.

Dr. Schmidt methodically went through an elimination process, with thorough testing and questions, by phone and multiple e-mails, because I am in Florida.

Recently Dr. Schmidt suggested a supplement to help with my cortisol regulation. My cortisol was up and my neuro transmitters, serotonin and dopamine were down.

The product he suggested nearly instantly corrected how I was feeling and solved the problem Dr Schmidt was asked to solve, higher BP.

My BP now is 128/89 – 140/94, plus I feel great; in my case the higher BP was caused by poor cortisol regulation.

I found Dr Schmidt and his staff very thorough!

Dear Dr. Schmidt,

Thank you for all your research on lactic acidosis and for making all the videos on that subject. It has changed the course of my health.

You are brilliant, perceptive and have information that all of today’s physicians should know, but unfortunately do not.

When will our incompetent and uninformed medical professionals listen to you?
