Jennifer (client name anonymized) is one of our long term clients. She struggled with microscopic colitis for 14 years before finding Jess and Ayurveda. During that time, she saw four different gastroenterologists who put her on a variety of pharmaceuticals.

Unfortunately, the medications were unable to address the root cause of her issue. She would have frequent minor flareups, and recurring major flareups. The major flareups left her unable to leave the house, unable able to eat most foods, and with no energy. During her final flareup, she lost 15lbs in eight months.

As a result of the flareup, she got in touch with Jess, Radiance co-founder and Ayurvedic doctor, through a mutual friend. At that time, her son remarked that if this didn't work, they would have to put her in the hospital - she was in a precarious condition.

Jess and Jennifer began working together in depth in 2017. Their work involved a detailed program of food, self-care routines, and Ayurvedic formulations. After quite a bit of work over several months, Jennifer's symptoms began to disappear. Over the course of the first year of treatment, the symptoms disappeared entirely.

[Working with Jess] gave me my life back. It really did. I couldn't leave the house before, and it got me feeling like a normal person again.

There haven't been any reoccurrences of Jennifer's condition since then - she's able to eat and do what she wants, and lives an active life.

Jennifer's story highlights Ayurveda's extraordinary power at identifying and addressing the root causes of digestive disorders. In more recent years, scientific evidence has confirmed the same thing. We work with many clients who similarly are unable to address the root causes of their condition with conventional treatment, and find solutions with Ayurveda.
