Client Case Study: How We Found What Everyone Else Missed and Changed Dan's Healing Path Forever

Most people who come to me have already been to the GP, sometimes multiple specialists, and maybe even a naturopath or two. They’ve had blood tests, maybe scans, sometimes a supplement plan…, even done multiple cleanses and fasting, and yet they still feel stuck.

For the sake of my client's privacy let's call him Dan...Dan was one of those people.

He had a list of symptoms that didn’t seem to connect

• Low energy
• Poor circulation
• Left-sided pain
• Restless sleep
• A slow urine stream
• Left Kidney lesion and a lesion in his pancreas
• and ongoing digestive issues.

He had been told everything from “it’s just stress” to “maybe you just need to stretch more.”

The problem? Everyone was looking at the data but not into it.

When Dan came to me after hearing me speak at my tour and shared his symptoms, I knew straight away that we needed to dig deeper than the standard medical approach, and that’s exactly where the breakthroughs began.

Step One: Functional Blood Analysis - The Hidden Gut Permeability Clue

Within minutes of looking at his functional blood ranges (not just “normal” lab ranges), I noticed markers pointing toward gut permeability, also known as leaky gut.

This was huge, because no one had connected his immune activation, inflammation, and poor nutrient absorption back to his gut wall integrity. Which blew my mind because those symptoms SCREAM gut health issues...

In conventional ranges, his results looked “fine.” But when I overlaid them against optimal functional ranges, looked at other markers to create ratio patterns, and correlated them with his symptoms, the pattern was obvious.

What I picked up:

• Elevated inflammatory markers despite “normal” CRP. E.g Ferritin. Ferritin is not just iron storage, it’s an acute-phase reactant, confirming inflammation.
  

• Protein markers indicating malabsorption

• ALT, AST, GGT. ALP, LDH -> All elevated. And what blew my mind is that they have been so for the past few YEARS! And not once did his doctor say anything. In fact his GP questioned him when Dan requested to get a full blood panel and refused to get some markers I requested because the GP admitted that he didn't know how to read them!!!! READ THAT AGAIN. 

All those markers above is a classic pattern of hepatocellular stress and sluggish bile flow.  GGT + ALP elevation strongly suggests biliary congestion or early cholestasis. 

 Combined with fatigue, mood swings, cysts, and slow urination, this points to Phase I/II liver overload + gallbladder

• Dan also showed, white blood cell patterns showing chronic immune stimulation

From here, the entire plan shifted, because if your gut lining is compromised, you can’t just “throw supplements, juice cleanse, a detox diet" at the problem and expect lasting change. You have to heal and seal the gut first, before you start any deeper detox work.

Step Two: HTMA - Mineral Patterns That Told a Bigger Story

Next, I ran a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) to look at Dan'’s mineral ratios and heavy metal levels.

The results came back showing a Four Lows pattern = low calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium, meaning his body was in a state of metabolic “shutdown” from prolonged stress.

Key findings:

• Low magnesium: impacting energy, muscle function, and sleep quality

• Borderline sodium/potassium: affecting adrenal output and circulation

• Poor calcium utilization: affecting tight junction integrity in the gut

• Trace heavy metals: burdening his detox pathways

Knowing this helps me to create a mineral balance marco nutrient level and diet. 

Step Three: Sclerology & Iridology - The Eye Never Lies

While blood and hair tell me what’s happening now, your eyes tell me what’s been happening for years.

Through sclerology (white of the eye) and iridology (iris mapping), I could see:

• Left kidney congestion (matching his reported side pain)

• Signs of pancreatic stress

• Circulatory challenges (explaining his cold extremities)

• Digestive congestion and inflammation zones

These visual signs lined up perfectly with his lab data, giving us a crystal-clear map for our healing priorities. Below is just one picture of Dan's eyes with some quick visual highlights of what I see. Sclerology pictures not included in this case study. 

The Plan - Layered, Phased, and Bio-Individualised

Instead of giving Dom a random “detox,” we built a 4-month healing & detox plan in phases:

1. Drainage & Gut Lining Repair – Opening detox pathways, calming inflammation, and repairing the gut wall with zinc carnosine, collagen peptides, acacia fiber, and mucosal support blends + diet change and lifestyle habits. 

2. Microbiome Reset – Targeting bacterial overgrowth with gentle antimicrobials, binders, and bile flow support.

3. Mitochondrial & Hormonal Recovery – Restoring testosterone, adrenal function, and cellular energy.

4. Resilience & Maintenance – Anchoring the new normal and preventing relapse.

I paired this with his Four Lows Healing Diet - a precise macro split (40% protein / 40% carbs / 20% fat) to gently reawaken his metabolism while repleting minerals through real food.

The Wins So Far

Within weeks, Dan has noticed the following:

✅ Energy and mental clarity improving
✅ Night urination reduced from 4–5 times to just twice
✅ Better bowel movements (less sticky, easier to pass)
✅ Circulation improvements — warmer hands and feet
✅ Reduced groin discomfort and shoulder tension

And we’re still in the early stages, but Dan is loving the improvements already and feels finally at easy knowing he is on a path that is specific to him and that meets his needs. 

In the next phases Dan will go even deeper into detoxification, rebuilding, and resilience, but before I do that with him, I must get his minerals back up, heal and seal his gut and get his energy levels balanced, because you need ENERGY to detox and heal. 

Why This Matters for You

If you’ve been feeling unheard, stuck in symptoms no one can explain, or you’ve been told “your tests are normal” - Dan’s story shows what’s possible when you work with someone who refuses to stop at surface-level answers.

When I work 1-on-1 with clients, or get people to consult with me in my "bio-individual package" that includes all the testing, I’m not just looking for what’s “wrong” - I’m mapping your entire internal terrain, connecting the dots across multiple testing methods, and building a protocol that works with your body, not against it.

Because real healing doesn’t happen when we chase symptoms.
It happens when we uncover the root cause, even if everyone else has missed it.
