My Mobility Improved 100 Times – A Whole-Picture Approach to RA

I have suffered from Rheumatoid Arthritis for 15 long years, but since COVID, my condition has deteriorated significantly. There were days I struggled to perform basic chores, and sometimes even struggled to get out of bed due to crippling pain across all my joints. It was exhausting and frustrating.

I started seeing Luanne at Luanne Naturopathic Nutrition & Phlebotomy just under six months ago. She is incredibly thorough, looking at the entire picture of my health rather than just the single field of conventional medicine.

Key Discoveries and Improvements

Luanne’s approach led to several vital discoveries and changes:

1. Dietary Education: Who knew cordials could have such a bad effect on my health? Luanne educated me on why certain foods are detrimental, rather than just banning them. I was initially apprehensive, thinking she would go through my cupboards and say “no,” but her supportive and educational approach completely changed my perspective.
2. Root Cause Testing: Through thorough functional lab testing, Luanne discovered I had dangerously high levels of Arsenic and other metals. Identifying these underlying toxins was critical in addressing the significant contribution to my pain and deterioration
3. Tailored Support: With tailored lifestyle changes and a specific supplement protocol, I started noticing huge improvements.

The Outcome

While I am not cured and still have days of pain, my mobility has improved 100 times over. Compared to six months ago, I have a much more positive outlook and am now able to complete many tasks that were previously impossible.

The support Luanne offers goes above and beyond—she even attended one of my RA appointments with the consultant, demonstrating her commitment to the full spectrum of my care.

I highly recommend Luanne. If you are looking for a practitioner who is thorough, knowledgeable, and genuinely looks at the root cause of chronic illness, she is the one to see.

Luanne was able to provide effective advice to address my chronic acid reflux problem. Following on from a concise and relaxed consultation, I was provided with recommendation on a number of dietary and lifestyle changes that were the clear cause of my gastric issues and, in following her advice, the problem(s) went away in mere days and have only reoccurred whenever I strayed from her programme.

Sincerely I cannot recommend Luanne’s practice highly enough, her services have altered my life in ways more than just the acid problem. My new dietary regime has resulted not only in me being able to enjoy food without reflux or wind, I also have substantially more energy and better sleep patterns. Without her help it is unlikely I would have found the root causes myself as they were quite complex in nature, and I regret leaving it so long before considering this course of remedy.

Luanne from the start made me feel at ease. There were initially many questions to go through, but she asked them in an understanding way, and we were able to establish a rapport quickly.

I was very pleasantly surprised to hear what Luanne had planned for me in relation to improving my menopausal symptoms. It wasn’t just nutrition based although that was obviously a big part of it; it was whole body and mind with exercises and ways to also improve my mood.

I have taken many of the suggestions on board, and my symptoms have decreased in severity.

Thank you very much, indeed, for my appointment with you today.

Please let me say that your professionalism, knowledge and expertise are remarkable.

I had Luanne take bloods from both arms last week. It was the most pain and stress-free experience I’ve ever had with having blood taken.

I usually bruise quite badly, but not this time, not a mark.

Meeting Luanne was the best decision fate had ever made for me. She was so incredibly balanced in nature, filled with a sense of calm and enthusiasm to do her best in equal measure. I felt extremely safe talking to her openly as I knew this is a woman who cares. She was non-judgemental when I said a lot of crazy things, and she planned out the perfect plan for me to follow, which honestly just changed my whole life. I especially took notice of how she maintained eye contact, not just reading things manually like a robot, she helped me to understand the importance of it all and by the end of it. I could not believe the extra mile she went to recommend alternative hobbies for me that were still within my passions to help protect my eyesight, and this had nothing to do with diet but with lifestyle and I knew this is someone who is going to help a lot of people because she really gets to know them as a person. The plan itself was bang on the money, and within 3 days, I was feeling better than ever. like she’s turned back time for me, and I could not be more grateful. She absolutely knows what she’s doing, and she’s just such a wonderful human being to come into contact with and I could not thank her enough!

I have been seeing Luanne at Naturopathic Nutrition for 3 months now.

I have underlying health issues, and my main priority was to improve my immune system and to generally feel better.

Luanne carried out a full assessment and identified some vitamin deficiencies, and I was recommended a number of supplements and a strict diet.

After 3 months, I am feeling much better both physically and mentally, with my anxiety at night and first thing being much improved.

I have just had my 6-monthly appointment with my consultant, and he was extremely pleased with my condition and actually seemed quite amazed at my blood results.

Luanne is very professional and extremely knowledgeable in her field plus has a kind, calm presence.

Long may the progress continue.

After years of struggling with persistent bloating, digestive discomfort, and IBS symptoms, I finally found the support I needed through Luanne. Traditional approaches never seemed to get to the root of the problem, but from our very first session, I felt heard, understood, and hopeful for the first time in a long while. The decision to try an elemental diet wasn’t taken lightly, but Luanne explained everything clearly and compassionately. She provided not just a plan, but ongoing guidance, emotional support, and practical tools to make the process manageable. It was challenging at times, but the results have been truly life-changing. My bloating has significantly reduced, my energy levels are better, and I feel like I’ve finally regained control over my health. More importantly, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of my body and how to nourish it properly. If you’ve been struggling with digestive issues and feel like you’ve tried everything, I highly recommend working with Luanne. Her knowledge, empathy, and personalised approach is making all the difference.

From initial contact, Luanne was prompt and informative.

Luanne instantly puts you at ease the moment you arrive. She was thorough, took her time, made me comfortable and explained the process. At the same time, she was efficient and professional, the blood draw happening with me hardly knowing it!

Thank you, Luanne, for a positive, relaxing experience.

Luanne’s naturopathic nutrition has been a blessing for me. After years of misdiagnosis and growing antibiotic resistance, I sought a more holistic route to combat my struggles with fatigue and low immunity. After just 1 week of following Luanne’s program, I felt more energetic, stronger and had much higher quality sleep. Further along the tailored program, I haven’t felt physically ill at all (which is an anomaly for me), and my confidence is being restored day to day. Not only has it had a positive impact on my overall physical health, but my mental health has improved dramatically, and now I’m able to enjoy my free time more without feeling paranoid about falling sick. I am so grateful to have worked and continue my journey with Luanne, after not having success on my health journey for years. Thank you! You’ve changed my outlook on life.
