Because of Dr. McCord I could be a mother again

It took me a while to figure out what to say because it’s so hard to put into a few sentences how much you have given me hope and brought life back into my world. I was so discouraged, because for two years doctors had dismissed me as a tired mother, and did not look further into why I was so tired, why I was having more symptoms, and why they were getting worse. I had fatigue, chills, and then aches and pain. I knew something was wrong with my body, but I needed to find someone to really listen. I finally stumbled upon Jennifer McCord’s website, and she was the only doctor to try to think outside of the box why I was having this happen to me. She worked with me to build my body back up, and I could finally be off the nerve blockers and hold my children without pain! Because of Dr. McCord I could be a mother again and it’s so amazing to have someone in your corner supporting you and not giving up!

My world has expanded again

I am a Registered Nurse with a master’s degree but for over 15 years suffered from extreme fatigue, pain in my joints and muscles, brain fog, memory loss, gut issues, insomnia, mood swings and excessive weight gain. I went to a multitude of doctors only to be told everything was fine and my labs were normal. On more than one occasion I was told my symptoms were all in my head and I just needed to eat less and exercise more. My symptoms had gotten so bad I went from working full-time in facilities to working part-time from home. In effect, my world was becoming smaller and smaller, and I was feeling more isolated due to not being well, even considering going on disability.

I was blessed to become a patient of Dr. McCord’s … and my world rapidly went back to near normal. I began to see her in August of 2022, and within 8 short months most all of my symptoms have resolved…What made my experience different with Dr. McCord was that she listened to my story. She made sure that I knew she understood my story and as a partnership we planned for my road back to health…

(H)as my world expanded again? A resounding yes! I am doing water aerobics, going on outings with friends, increased my hours of work and 2 weeks ago I began to study functional medicine as a nurse to help other people with their struggles to regain their health. If my story sounds like your story, I will highly recommend Dr. McCord. She is the most caring physician I have ever worked with. She truly cares about her patients and wants us to all be successful and live a full life.

I feel like a new person

I just want to reach out to thank you and give you an update on my health journey. I am so appreciative of you!!! I am about 4 weeks into my gluten-free lifestyle and supplements and I feel like a new person. I am COMPLETELY OFF ibuprofen (after 5 years of 1200 mg per day)!!! I have NO joint pain!. My clothes fit better, I have more energy, my goiter seems less prominent, my IBS is gone with increased regularity and I just feel better. I can’t thank you enough for helping me figure it out.

If it wasn’t for Dr. McCord, I wouldn’t be where I am today

If it wasn’t for Dr. McCord, I wouldn’t be where I am today. 2.5 years ago, I became suddenly ill. No one could get me answers. I was bed ridden. I was unable to interact with my kids, work, or do simple day-to-day tasks. I saw specialist after specialist. I was repeatedly being told that nothing was wrong or that they didn’t know what was wrong therefore I must be depressed.

Dr. McCord took the time to listen, run genuine tests to figure out the root cause of what was going on, and come up with a long-term plan to help my body heal…This is how medicine should be practiced. With doctors that listen to concerns and …. fix the root cause rather than throw pills at you to mask symptoms without correcting the problem. I feel human again. My kids are thankful every day that they got their mom back. You just can’t put a price tag on that kind of health care.

If you are struggling with health concerns and constantly being told everything is fine, even when you know it isn’t, then Dr. McCord is the physician you’ve been needing. And if you are a woman that feels like she isn’t being heard when you know your body isn’t functioning the way it should, then Dr. McCord is the physician you must see.

A huge weight lifted off my shoulders

Thank you so much for your understanding, your compassion, your professionalism, and your caring. Driving home was an interesting feeling. I felt as if a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders just by having this appointment with you and getting the process of healing started. My breathing and my shoulders did not feel as heavy… I am so thankful and excited that you have put together a plan for continued healing and for a plan to reverse the issues with my gut & ulcerative colitis.

Feeling optimistic about my health

It has almost been one year since I first sought Dr. McCord’s assistance and I feel better today than I have in several years. I have reduced my prescription medication from 4 to 6 pills daily to 4 to 6 pills monthly. I am feeling very optimistic about my total health and have continued taking the vitamins and supplements…I am so thankful that Dr. McCord was able to assist me with a total health plan that I will be able to stick with for years to come.

Four years lost with conventional medicine

Before I met Dr. McCord, I had been through four trying years lost in the conventional medical system. Numerous doctors dismissed my concerns, and I was told that my hypothyroid symptoms were simply a cause of my age and inability to cope with life…What I appreciate about Dr. McCord is that from our initial visit she showed compassion and understanding, something I had not experienced in the conventional medicine setting. Just as importantly, she was flexible with her treatment plans and was determined to find a solution. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I had someone in my corner. Through her guidance and recommendations, I quite literally have a new lease on life and for that I am forever grateful.
