"Before I started with Ashley and her wonderful team, I had some issues that were decreasing my quality of life. Brain fog, a messed up gut, joint pain and difficulty sleeping were among top problems, which was leading to depressed feelings about how my life was going to look as time marches on. As I work with Ashley and the team, I am feeling very supported and empowered to regain control of my health, one step at a time. I've only been following the process for a few weeks and I feel so much better. I love that I am learning what I need for my specific issues and as I follow the program that is tailored specifically for me, it is becoming extremely clear that functional medicine is the only way to heal the body.  
I have increased energy to workout and have lost some weight too. Sleep is better and I'm feeling positive about the next chapter in my life. 
This program is easy to follow and understand. The "whys" are explained which helps to stick with it and the team is always available to answer questions and coach you along. Thank you Rise Functional Medicine for putting me on the path of good health."

"Hi everyone my name is Jack Doherty. Before starting this program I was constantly feeling bloated, constipated, low energy and having breakouts on my skin. I knew I wanted to heal myself but not the traditional unnatural way. When I found RISE functional medicine I knew I was in the right place. Since finishing the program my digestion and acne has improved so much only within a few months. I was surprised how smooth and easy the process was and how I was able to play a high level contact sport while fixing my body. I am so thankful to have found Ashley and the RISE team and I would say if you are on the fence you should totally give it a try because you body will thank you later."

"Working with Ashley has been the best thing for my health! At 46, I was experiencing unusual weight gain, muscle loss, terrible bloating, and lack of energy in my workouts. I simply did not feel like myself and I was frustrated with what was happening in my body. But after going through the 3 month program with Ashley, I have lost 17 lbs, don't experience bloating anymore, have more energy in my workouts, and have shifted my diet to foods that work for me and my body's specific needs. Ashley's program was fully comprehensive, and - most importantly - Ashley felt like my personal champion all along the way and she was always available via her app if I had questions or concerns. I HIGHLY recommend Ashley and her amazing program!”

-What was going on in your life before starting this program?
I was exhausted, constipated, gassy, in pain, had hot flashes, night sweats, was not sleeping well and more.

-How were those symptoms or challenges affecting your day-to-day life?
 I felt like I had to use all of my energy just to get through the work day leaving nothing left for my family and friends. Weekends were spent catching up on all of the chores I couldn’t get to during the week because I was so tired.

-What changes have you noticed since starting your work with Rise Functional Medicine?
I feel so much better! I am having regular bowl movements and am pain free. I don’t have to worry about eating before a presentation or anything important for fear that I would be in pain or have gas, which could be uncomfortable and be distracting. My hot flashes and night sweats have dramatically dissipated and my sleep is evening out.

-How has this impacted your energy, confidence, or quality of life?
I have more energy which has definitely impacted my quality of life for the better. This has also increased my confidence as well.

-Before joining, were you skeptical about this approach and how do you feel now?
I was mostly worried about the work that this approach would entail but after I started feeling better it was well worth the work.
