I’ve been suffering from gut issues for years. Mary Ruth was able to identify ways to improve my gut health through extensive lab findings. She developed a solid protocol of supplements and diet which has really served me well.

Over the last couple of years of working with Mary Ruth, the information, suggestions, and tips around nutrition and healthy eating that she has given me have been life changing. She is extremely knowledgeable in how to incorporate healthy foods and supplements into your life. Her approach of making healthy changes to your diet while still enjoying delicious, satisfying and yummy meals has worked great for me. It has been amazing to me how much better I have felt since working with her to create fun, sustainable, healthy, balanced eating habits! It has been so helpful to come to her with questions about how to make healthy swaps for aspects of my diet. She is always up for the challenge! Healthy habits have never been so much fun and rewarding since I started working with Mary Ruth.

When I started working with Faulkner Functional Wellness, I was approaching the three year mark of a seemingly unending health journey filled with chronic pain and no answers. I was experiencing a variety of difficult symptoms including back pain, neck pain, numbness and tingling throughout my back and extremities, gastrointestinal dysfunction, fatigue, and headaches. I had been to several specialists such as orthopedists, neurologists, and rheumatologists, and no one seemed to be able to help me. To say I was scared would be an understatement. Working with Mary Ruth at Faulkner Functional Wellness was the thing that finally turned my health around. She knew of a specific diet that was the perfect fit for me, and she gave me invaluable education about how to appropriately fuel my body with what I needed. I thought I knew how to eat healthy, but there really is a lot more to it than just eating fruits and vegetables (you'll know what I mean when you start working with Mary Ruth!). I completely changed the way I was eating by cutting out the major sources of inflammation in foods. I later found out the condition I have is an auto-immune condition that creates inflammation in all of the joints in my body. Mary Ruth knew that my body needed to dampen down the inflammation before I even had a diagnosis that explained my symptoms! I cannot speak highly enough about Mary Ruth and her work. She is extremely dedicated to her clients. She goes above and beyond to meet you where you are at and work with you to find the best steps forward. A few ways she went above and beyond for me include but are not limited to meeting with me at times that worked best for my schedule given that I work full time, doing extensive research and communicating with other health professionals, and checking in with me regularly outside of our scheduled sessions. Faulkner Functional Wellness helped me so much and truly changed me for the better, and I know Mary Ruth will do whatever she can to help you too!
