Where to begin. I went into this with Dr Borkowski with a positive mindset and thousands of dollars hoping to really be helped and unfortunately any issues I came in with were made worse. First of all I should never have been accepted into their program. That was the first big mistake made by this center. As a person who weighs very little to begin with and then told I had sensitivities to about 100 foods and allergies to 10 of 15 tested I was left with very few foods to eat (maybe 5, if that). Add on the high histamine foods I was not allowed to eat either I was honestly left with very few options. So as a person who is not only very small to begin with and had not eaten red meat in over 13 years and just recently started back with chicken, turkey, fish (with the 30 day protocol/plan I was only able to eat chicken because turkey and fish etc was considered high histamine and a food I couldn't eat) I was again left with foods I've never eaten before like arugula, squash, bison, rabbit etc. Now let's discuss supplements. Wow. I was given a list of at least 15+ that they wanted me to purchase for hundreds of dollars. I only bought a handful but they all caused me horrible issues that she often laughed off as my anxiety (because she knew I had a diagnosis of ptsd). My internal doctor, gi doctor and allergist all told me after this 30 day plan when I explained how I've had terrible symptoms (weight loss, terrible 8-12 hour a day painful bloating, diarrhea after every single meal) and me removing myself from this nightmare that all her supplements "exasperated my original issue" and they all said to stop consuming the supplements immediately. I did this 30 day program the month of July. I went into ketosis, starvation mode and lost approx 20+ pounds too quickly by most likely consuming around 400 calories a day, barely any fat etc. Again, for someone who weighs very little to begin with and finds out there's all these "food sensitivities" and "allergies" and the foods become forbidden I was entering starvation mode. Thousands of dollars for a program and I was never told how to reintroduce foods. I was never monitored properly for my weight. People pay thousands for this information, thats why they go here. And so did I but I never received it. There was no guidance, at all. There is a technique, a special way of bringing back in the foods after the 30 days. I remember reading on a paper that I could reintroduce carrots. I had to ask well what do I do? How many? How often? What if it bothers me? People write books, have websites on ways to carefully reintroduce foods and i had to pretty much beg her (someone I was paying to give me this info) in an email to send me a plan/an outline of how to do it. I never received it. Waste of thousands. After the program I emailed the center and requested direct contact info for the owner Dr Sexton. I was told "Unfortunately, Dr Sexton is not available for contact." What?? The owner isn't available for contact to hear concerns? If that isn't the sketchiest response ever and a red flag I don't know what is. Shouldn't we be able to speak with the owner of a wellness center that we payed thousands of dollars to? Again, this place should have told me from the start based on my weight and the fact that I had not been eating meat for 13 years that this program was NOT for me. Turn me down. Don't take my thousands and put me into the worst physical condition I had ever been in. They're clearly all about the money. And to make matters worse I heard that Dr Sexton worked in the past alongside a nutritionist to help patients with their food reintroduction and for nutritional support throughout their journey. Again, I paid thousands and received none of this. So moral of the story here is be careful. Trust it with a grain of salt. It's a true gamble not only with thousands of your dollars but a gamble with your health as my health deteriorated very quickly. read more
