Allison’s Autoimmune Breakthrough
Allison Wu shares how Nutrition With Confidence helped her navigate the complexities of multiple autoimmune diseases with personalized care and expert guidance.
“There are really very few people in this world who I believe can be at that caliber of nutritional expertise, and she is one of them by far.”
Allison Wu is the founder of Forge Wellness DC, a company dedicated to holistic well-being. Having been diagnosed with multiple autoimmune diseases since 2017, Allison embarked on a long and challenging healing journey, focusing on functional health practices, diet, lifestyle, and a complete re-evaluation of her identity and emotional responses.
The Challenge of Complex Autoimmune Conditions
Allison's journey with autoimmune diseases presented a unique set of challenges. Her symptoms were varied, often fluctuating, and difficult to pinpoint, making it incredibly hard to find a practitioner who could truly understand and address her complex needs. She had previously relied on Mary Ruddick, a practitioner who provided holistic care, and the prospect of transitioning to a new provider was daunting.
“I was very nervous at first having to leave Mary’s care. There really had been nobody else who was able to diagnose, treat me, and just wholeheartedly and holistically care for me.”
Many Western doctors and even other holistic practitioners struggled to grasp the intricacies of her case, leaving Allison feeling isolated in her battle against chronic illness.
Finding a World-Class Functional Health Nutritionist
Allison's transition to Natalie Earle at Nutrition With Confidence proved to be a seamless and incredibly beneficial experience. Natalie, a world-class functional health nutritionist, quickly became the sole leader of Allison's care team. Her expertise in diet, lifestyle, and extensive supplementation protocols, combined with a deep understanding of functional health practices, provided Allison with the comprehensive support she desperately needed.
“My transition from Mary to Natalie was quite seamless in my time. Working directly with Natalie has been enormously helpful. She is at once, in my opinion, a world class functional health nutritionist and just really knows her stuff.”
Natalie’s approach went beyond just treating symptoms; she embraced a growth mindset, viewing challenges as opportunities for healing and providing a compassionate, flexible, and knowledgeable presence throughout Allison's journey.
A Steadfast Partner in Healing
With Natalie’s guidance, Allison found a steadfast partner in her healing journey. Natalie’s ability to articulate complex information, offer insightful knowledge, and provide unwavering support transformed Allison's experience. She no longer felt alone in her battle, knowing she had a practitioner who could not only understand her unique case but also empower her to face challenges head-on.
“Natalie is always somebody that I know I can come to and face the challenges head on while also still having someone who is giving a good listening ear.”
Allison now confidently recommends Natalie Earle to her own patients, friends, and loved ones, a testament to the profound impact Nutrition With Confidence has had on her well-being. For anyone facing chronic illness or seeking to improve their overall health, Natalie offers unparalleled expertise and a truly holistic approach to care.
