For working with Dr. Donnie, the biggest issue that I had that I came to her for was I was falling sick constantly. So every winter, every two to three weeks, I'd start to get a sore throat, sniffles, feverish, and I would have to like work really hard to prevent that. And then three weeks later, repeat. And this happened for like two years. Aside from that, my digestive system was out of whack. I'm a very good sleeper, but I would wake up tired. I had like brain fog in the morning. Constant. What made me trust Dr. Donney was that she was able to pinpoint tests and leading indicators of what the issues were through actually lab based tests. I'd tried a few other naturopathic doctors before and they would just ask me to do things and I didn't know what was happening to my body and I didn't see the results. It just was a little bit sort of blind faith. Whereas Dr. Donney, I researched her and she had very clear definition of what is leaky gut, how do you test for it? And that was the reason I went to her. And then once I went to her and did these tests, I had sort of astonishing results in two or three weeks in terms of some side symptoms that I didn't even know that they were part of my issues that she was going to be solving for. So after working with Dr. Donny, number of things changed for me. One biggest things that I'd gone to her for falling sick. I stopped falling sick constantly to my brain fog. Mornings like fog, fatigue, tiredness that cleared up. That was like a lifetime change. I had never been like that. And that was like I could wake up at six or seven o' clock and actually not be tired. Number three, my digestive system, which had been really pretty good until I moved to the US and then within a few years after that it had just gone down. It was really bad. That just cleared up. It started to function like very normally. The treatments that Dr. Donney did that helped me the most were probably best to understand my food intolerances and eliminate those. It was very worth it because slowly I was able to eat most things again. Even though I tried to stay off the some things permanently and even post that. But most things are back on my food diet and I don't react to them. But definitely the supplements that she gave me to try to heal my immune system, my gut made an impact because I know a lot of friends who also try elimination diets, but they don't have the same results that I did. So I just rely on her. I ask her a lot of questions every time something's happening and over time I understand these things better. I think she diagnoses issues and the root cause of issues versus a lot of the other doctors that I've tried to go to before traditional medicine doctors or other naturopaths. She comes to a clear diagnosis of what the root cause is and then she treats it really effectively. I think the other thing is that she discovers a whole bunch of other things along the way that you may or may not realize that are going wrong in your body and so it feels like a holistic treatment. I think the biggest reason actually is that no matter what I've gone to her for like it's been a varied number of unrelated issues over the years like eczema or my my skin has intolerance to metal and so I break out with jewelry no matter what it is. She just helps me where a lot of other doctors cannot.
