I am a female living in Canada and have struggled with fertility issues for quite some time. I have seen several different doctors in various countries who were unable to help me. I spent many months doing an immense amount of research and came across a blog written by Dr. Mark Hyman. I searched online for his practice, The UltraWellness Center. I made the call to the office to gather more information and booked an appointment with Dr. Todd LePine. I was scared at first as it involved a time commitment and was very expensive. I had been to several doctors and nothing was working. I knew something in my body was off. I made the trip from Toronto to The UltraWellness Center with my parents. I met with Dr. LePine who was very thorough and gave me his testing and supplement recommendations. I also met with Holly Niles, the Nutritionist on staff and she was tremendously supportive, especially with explaining why we feel the way we do and helped me get on track and stay on track with my diet. Also on that day I met with Heidi Spear, a Relaxation Specialist, and she helped me bring things to the surface and deal with them through journaling, visualization and reiki. I was in awe at the results of the variety of tests that I did and what was going on with my body. Dr. LePine explained she needed detox support and her microbiome was off. I’m not 100% yet, but I am eating the cleanest I have ever ate and feels the effects of that with good energy levels, and has a whole new outlook on life and looks forward to every day, and this was not always the case. The entire staff at the center has been so supportive through this healing process. The level of communication is excellent. When I have questions I would email and have a response within a day or two. I wanted to share my story to help others who are struggling. It’s so important to look at the root cause and the whole person, not just the parts. That’s what successful, healing medicine is all about.

My son Douglas is 34 years old, severely autistic and non-verbal. When we first saw Dr. LePine, my son was overweight, had acne, oversensitive hearing, and several self injurious behaviors such as head banging and finger biting. Since my son could not tell us how he felt, he would frequently “act out” when he was upset or not feeling well and couldn’t vocalize his needs. Dr. LePine found sensitivities to gluten, dairy, soy and 12 additional common foods that my son consumed frequently such as bananas, mushrooms, tomatoes, and black pepper. Food sensitivities can lead to a leaky gut, inflammation and eventually autoimmune problems. Dr. LePine also checked for heavy metals, parasites, vitamin levels, and a host of other tests that focused on finding the root cause of his problems and not just eliminating symptoms. With information culled from the test results, Dr. LePine recommended a vitamin and supplement protocol targeted to his particular issues. When we left after our first visit, we were given a loose leaf notebook to take home, outlining the information discussed at the visit. After going Gluten/Dairy/Soy free and following the vitamin/supplement protocol for about 3 months, we began to see a difference in our son and now after 3 years of being treated by Dr. LePine, he is a totally different person. His self injurious behaviors have almost disappeared. He enjoys lots of things that used to make him nervous, he has lost 50 pounds, his acne has totally cleared up and he is a much happier person too. Our whole family is now enjoying a less stressful and a more joyous life. I have been taking my son to see specialists since he was a small child and never felt so confident in a doctor as I do in Dr. LePine. He is the best doctor we have ever worked with. In addition, the UltraWellness Center has the most nurturing atmosphere of any medical group we have ever visited. Every person I have encountered there has been caring, competent, and concerned about making our experience as good as it can be. Each email I get from the UltraWellness Center states on the first line: We specialize in YOU! That’s the truth. I would recommend the UltraWellness Center wholeheartedly to anyone needing help with chronic problems and health issues that are not being properly addressed by their regular physician and would be better served using a Functional Medicine approach.

I have had a very positive experience with the UltraWellness Center. Everyone is kind, courteous, caring and professional. Caring and listening are the focus here. When I speak with my doctor, he wants to hear every symptom that I am experiencing. I can almost hear him thinking before he advises and treats. The nutritionist is passionate about her work; I look forward to her visits. She has so many suggestions and is so knowledgeable- I am so impressed with her. My nurse is always helpful, she even lead me to another source for ordering a supplement that has a high postage and handling rate. Her final words were "I will look into this and find the reason for the costly charge!" The UWC addresses the whole body. Overall, I gained more information concerning my health than I have ever known. They got to the source of the issues and promptly solved it. Prior to this, I was always in doubt when leaving a medical office and proceeded to do research for myself. The UWC has done all of the research and they are ready with concrete solutions. I appreciate this type of healthcare as I am not a believer in just treating symptoms. I prefer to get the the root cause. They treat the entire person. I feel blessed to be associated with Dr Mark Hyman’s UltraWellness Center and highly recommend it!
