Psoriatic Arthritis and Chronic Pain put into remission
My husband suffered from severe, and I mean SEVERE psoriasis. While he had been in remission for many years, it came back 2 years ago with a vengeance. He was in excruciating pain and could not perform even basic tasks like tying his shoes.
We saw many dermatologists and all they had to offer was medication, bizarre treatments with tar cremes and no empathy. Prednisone was the only mediation that ever worked and the side effects and rebound made the cure worse than the disease.
Jodi's Functional medicine approach to finding the CAUSE was crucial. We implemented her dietary changes and supplement additions. The lab tests she ordered provided the pathway to additional interventions with sound data and science. I am happy to report that John is pain-free and for the first time in 2 years and his psoriasis is 95% clear.
My husband was and is not the easiest patient! He does not share my love of healthy eating and Functional Medicine. In addition, he was depressed and discouraged by doctors cavalier treatment of his condition. They would spend 5 minutes with him and then say "let's try this drug".
Not only was Jodi empathetic and patient she went above and beyond to support us and consistently went the extra mile to make sure we were heard and getting what we needed. She was never judgmental if John wanted to try a new drug or didn't follow every guideline to a T.
I am so very grateful for her expertise. But as important as the expertise is, that alone would not have helped. It was her genuine concern and caring that kept John committed to the treatment so that he could experience success.
With much gratitude,
Audrey Schnell, Ph.D.
Fibromyalgia, Extreme Fatigue, Chronic Urticaria, Debilitating Migraines, GI issues and Insomnia in Remission. 90 pounds lost.
After a decade of pain, sleeplessness, fatigue, depression and obesity, and being told this was 'normal' and 'nothing can be done' by my primary care doctor and numerous 'specialists', I found Jodi. I came to her burdened with extreme fatigue and joint pain from Fibromyalgia and Hashimoto's, daily debilitating migraines, Chronic Urticaria, and gastrointestinal issues. The pain in my body and the itching caused insomnia 4-5 nights a week. I was on multiple medications including daily doses of Vicodin, Zantac and antihistamine. Jodi, a true healer, had me feeling better quickly. Within just a few weeks, my migraines were gone. She then worked to discover the root cause of my ailments through testing and showed me how they were interconnected. Within a couple of months, my pain symptoms started to dissipate, my sleep was greatly improved and my energy level rose dramatically. I no longer need Vicodin for pain! I am now sleeping much better and my energy has increased enabling me to function in daily life. The cause(s) of the hives have been linked to certain foods which I now avoid and I'm off the Zantac. My gastrointestinal distress has dissipated and I no longer have blood sugar spikes and crashes. As a side-effect of getting healthy, to date I have shed 95 pounds, which is represented by my daughter in the 'after' picture. Jodi is very professional with a great personality. By working closely with me she found the missing pieces I had been struggling with to help me solve my health puzzle.
Patty: Arthritis and Gut issues in remission. 40 pounds lost
Ed: Type 2 Diabetes, Gout, hypertension reversed. 50 pounds lost
Ed was overweight, Type II Diabetes, Gout, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol and although a strong man, he felt exhausted at the end of every day. I was overweight and suffered from arthritis and gut issues. We decided to do it together.
We began working with Jodi in September and together we've lost approximately 90 pounds and we're still going.
Ed's diabetic and gout medications have been discontinued. He's lowered his cholesterol level too!
The calls with Jodi were educational, supported, celebratory and encouraging. Jodi helped Ed and I to adapt to a lifestyle that we can maintain, a healthy lifestyle that will afford us the ability to enjoy another 30 years together.
Jodi is the real thing. Place your trust in her, commit to working with her and I'm confident you will celebrate the new you!!!
We joined the Vanishing Vitiligo Program... If I may say, you will NEVER find such committed practitioners, such cutting edge and up-to-date science and knowledge on how to tackle and manage this condition as you will within the VV programme... No one is working the way VV does in the whole world... It's the most comprehensive programme around and I have looked in Europe, Asia and North America... If you really want to see a shift, VV is the way to go

After experiencing anxiety for years on end, I decided to do something about it. I am now a freshmen in college and my mom found Jodi and she introduced me to her. Over the past two months, Jodi has helped me eliminate my anxiety and make me feel so much better. I made some dietary changes and took the targeted supplements she recommended and its been the best thing to reduce my anxiety. I recommend anyone who is struggling with anxiety or panic attacks to talk to Jodi because she changed my life in a positive stress-free way.
Type 2 Diabetes, hypertension, fatty liver, high cholesterol and chronic joint pain reversed. 75 pounds lost
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in March of 2018. Along with that news I found that my blood pressure was high, my cholesterol was high, my liver enzymes were elevated, and I had chronic joint pain. I was also very overweight. I was frustrated and disappointed in myself. As a busy mom to 5 young kids, I was failing at taking care of myself. I decided that that needed to change! I contacted Jodi in April of 2018. I was looking for someone to guide me in fixing my issues instead of just treating the symptoms. I wanted to make sure that I was in the right path to regain my health. With Jodi's help, I am happy to say that I have lost 75lbs, put my type 2 into remission, and reversed every negative health marker. My blood pressure is a healthy 108/67, and my A1C was been reduced from 6.8 to 4.6. My goal was to reverse my diabetes and not only did I accomplish that, I also regained my happiness and my ability to be an active, healthy mom!

Chronic Urticaria (hives) in Remission, Lost 17 Pounds, Reversed Gas and Bloating
Infertility, anxiety and eye twitching reversed
I reached out to Nina because I had a constant tremoring on the top corner of my right eyelid for months and suffered from anxiety. I also became pregnant the first week I started the program with Nina and, at 46 years old, I needed all the help I could get to have a healthy pregnancy.
...Nina was able to advise me on the supplements I needed, help me introduce activities to reduce anxiety such as meditation, types of yoga, changes in my diet and a more intuitive way of eating overall. At every step, Nina's advice took into consideration my preferences and my lifestyle. It felt very empowering!
My eyelid stopped tremoring, my pregnancy went great and I gave birth to a healthy baby who is now 3 months whom I'm breastfeeding. I'm feeling healthy and have great energy and I haven't experienced hair loss or any of the common postpartum issues.
Nina's holistic, very individualized approach helped me to gradually overcome anxiety, helped me get the results I wanted and more importantly gave me the tools so I can sustain them in the long term.
Type 2 Diabetes, Dermatitis, Acid Reflux Reversed.
Fibromyalgia, hypertension, high cholesterol, stomach issues, and finally a diagnosis of diabetes II forced me to want to make healthy choices in an effort to reduce prescriptions. Simply reducing food intake was not making the difference I wanted to see. Working with Jodi opened my eyes to the fact that eliminating some foods might solve some health issues. She was right and so far my body weight is reduced by 20 lbs, sugar numbers are below the diabetic range, and not one bout of acid reflux in months! Jodi is understanding, knowledgeable, and on target for how the body reacts to foods and lifestyle. I cannot rave enough about my progress because of 'Coach Jodi'.
Vitiligo in remission
It's unusual in life to find someone that walks the talk. That provides support and guidance, that gives of themselves and their time, who cares deeply and demonstrates that care through action which leads to measurable results. I found that person in Jodi Franklin. I found Jodi by chance, perhaps by luck, or maybe even through divine intervention if so inclined to believe in that which I do. I was at my lowest point in my 54 years, not feeling well physically, dealing with intestinal/digestive issues and if that wasn't bad enough, vitiligo (an autoimmune skin condition that makes your skin lose its pigment). Throughout the months of my relationship and partnership with Jodi, she had been a source of strength, of guidance, of support, and nutritional and life wisdom. She has helped me immensely and tremendously and put me on the path to recovery. My digestive symptoms have completely subsided and my pigment is 50% better through a combination of lifestyle change, gut healing, smarter food choices and some skin therapy. I offer my strongest ever recommendation of Jodi Franklin. She truly is an angel.
Type 2 Diabetes Reversed. 20 lbs. lost
I was overweight, felt lethargic all the time and was very frustrated trying to manage my Type 2 diabetes. I was diagnosed 3 years ago and became insulin dependent this past year. After working with Jodi for the past six months, I have reversed my Type 2 diabetes. In fact, I was able to stop injecting insulin after just two months and I am no longer on any medication. To date, I have lost over 20 pounds and I feel the best physically and mentally that I can ever remember. I have gained so much knowledge about my health and learned so much about myself during this journey. If you are sick and tired of managing your health problems with medication that can have awful side effects then you should reach out to Jodi. I am so glad I did!
REVERSED her Chronic Urticaria
I have suffered with this dreadful disease (Chronic Urticaria) for 20 years and have been through endless doctors, tests, and medications. All previous doctors...have treated only with medications. I had even been told in the past that... This is autoimmune and there is no cure.
The last time I had a "flare", I decided I'd had enough. Something inside me had always told me that there HAD to be something I could do to make this disease go away, or at least get better.
...After much research, I stumbled upon a video on facebook with a testimonial from a patient that had been treated for my same condition by Jodi Franklin with much success, and they offered virtual appointments. I had an initial consultation with Jodi Franklin and had a good gut feeling so I scheduled my appointment.
(Jodi paired me with)Tami, and she has been a Godsend. She was what I had prayed for! Tami was able to dig deep into my past and present medical history and lifestyle which led her to treating me accordingly. ...I was able to get off all my prescription medication and have currently been hive-free for many weeks!
She is the most thorough practitioner that I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I can tell the amount of research and time she puts into me as a patient, and she TRULY cares about my health and well-being.
I would recommend (Jodi Franklin) to anyone with my condition or other medical problems that they need help resolving.
Being a health coach myself, I knew my rosacea had a root cause and was reversible. But sometimes it's hard to see the forest for the trees when looking at your own health. I spent more than a year with my face covered in dozens of red bumps with frequent flushing and terrible bouts of ocular rosacea, which affected my eyes. Jodi was quick to recognize some core issues with my gut and my digestion and, within a few months, my face was clear. It's been several years now and I have remained symptom free. I can't say enough about Jodi's ability to find "hidden" problems and fix them strategically and safely using her advanced functional medicine knowledge and experience. I'd highly recommend her!
OCD, ADHD, Behavioral Issues and Tics Reversed
I would like to share a quick testimony in hopes of encouraging someone else on this journey. My daughter was diagnosed with vitiligo when she was 7 yo, she is now 8 yo. Before VV (Vanishing Vitiligo) we were on a (healthy) diet and made some lifestyle changes, but it wasn't until I found VV that we were able to really zone in on possible root causes, lasting lifestyle changes, and strengthening the immune system.
In VV my family and I have learned how to implement a whole new way of eating and living and really caring about what goes into our bodies. As a family we have embraced the teachings of VV and made it a lifestyle...
SIBO in remission
I've had problems with my gut as far back as I can remember - it became a fact of life, so I came to Jodi skeptical. Coming out of the problems I was having with her support is amazing, but I think the greatest gift she gave me was education. It was like an extreme college course in self care and nutrition - I think so much differently now about the food I eat, and the food my family eats. I understand the effects of certain foods on my body and how to recognize inflammation and now I know what to do if/when my SIBO returns. Jodi was relentless in getting to a diagnosis and providing me with the tools (diet plan) to prevent it. She's incredibly knowledgeable and was a partner and advocate in this process. Thank you Jodi!
Allergies in remission. 20 lbs. lost
[Your allergy reversing protocol is] really working for me, basically! I'm so ecstatic! Today - I was NOT - RED FACED, tight chested, wheezing, unable to get my breath, eyes itchy and watering... I actually felt pretty good and had a decent pace. Jogged 'to the tree' then kept jogging to the next spot, kept jogging... then walked a bit. I am shocked and amazed, basically (that my symptoms are gone)! Very excited. Anyway - wanted to share. Thank you for helping me, because without your help - this would have never happened... I hope it continues. I still have my meds and I'll take them when it feels appropriate... WAY WAY better than EVERY DAY!
GI issues and chronic bloating resolved
Jodi is the best! She will be there every step of the way to (help heal) her clients. She not only is highly knowledgeable she has determination and patience to guide you ( which is something I learned the hard way I really needed!) When I started this journey I had major GI upset and vitamin deficiencies; we had a whole list! None of which traditional doctors seemed to care about and consistently told me I'm fine! I was not fine! ... I learned how to eat and what to eat, how to listen to my body, learned why I had certain autoimmune reactions to things...I am very grateful and can't wait to get to the finish line! So trust the process. She will get you feeling better :)
Increased energy and vitality
This client has put her psoriasis, headaches, and diverticulitis into remission.
Reversed Anxiety
I want to THANK YOU for changing my life!!! I feel better now than I have ever felt even as a child. My mind is clear, my energy is always good. I have more patience and peace in my life. I wish everyone could feel this way.
GI issues resolved
I am so glad to have found Jodi as my functional medicine Provider. For almost a decade, I had struggled with multiple GI problems and being a Nurse practitioner, was so frustrated with my self and my doctors... (It was) the not the healing I needed despite all the expensive tests until I found Jodi. In a few months, I was already getting healing with my symptoms. The patience and the whole general approach she used for me was so different than I had seen with any practitioner. I will highly recommend her if you are looking for lasting solution to any medical problems you have, you will definitely not be disappointed!
Vitiligo, acne, GI issues, sleep issues reversed
Working with Jodi was the best decision I made for my health! I knew that my vitiligo was a sign that there were deeper issues going on in my body and Jodi helped me get to the root of that by taking a holistic approach. She was so kind, supportive and encouraging along the way and after about 6 months of following her protocol I started to see skin re-pigmentation!
I was so thrilled to see a physical sign that my body was healing (and along with that I was getting better sleep, my acne had cleared up, and my chronic digestive issues had healed as well!). I highly recommend working with Jodi if you want to heal your body and reverse your vitiligo.
Increased energy and vitality
We've been putting in +12-13K steps working 12-14 hrs each day at altitude of 8500 feet. I'm feeling great. Thanks for helping this 59 year old be healthy.
There is a saying that no one cares about how much you know until they know how much you care. Jodi, thank you for caring- really caring- about my health and well-being; what a great place to start! And thank you for sharing your immense knowledge to help me on my journey to vibrant health. I'm so very grateful!
Vitiligo 60% repigmented
I spent four years searching for help with my actively spreading vitiligo, and over that time period countless doctors told me the best they could do was to prescribe steroid creams and expensive light treatments - but even then, they said, I was not to expect any repigmentation in the areas where the patches were worst. They never tried to get to the underlying issues, simply saying the causes of vitiligo are unknown. Finding Jodi was like a breath of fresh air. She was confident that we could indeed find the underlying issues at the root of my disease - and solve them in order to achieve repigmentation. I now have pigment returning to my largest white spots. Jodi was able to identify (and correct) a number of other significant health concerns for me as well - her knowledge of nutrition and it's profound effect on our bodies is vast. I highly recommend working with her.
I cannot thank you enough for all you're doing to help me get and feel better, you're definitely go the extra mile and beyond, I'm very lucky and fortunate I found you!
Jodi's approach is fantastic, and refreshing. She is a wealth of knowledge and is educating me for a lifetime. Jodi helped me figure out my food sensitivities and is so compassionate while guiding me through the process. Within four sessions of working with Jodi I am more energetic, feeling so much better, and enjoying life more all because of Jodi's inspiring and sensible help. I am now healthier, slimmer, and can also cook delicious nutritious meals! Thank you Jodi.
Skin issues, insomnia and anxiety reversed
I began seeing Jodi after getting a bad bug in Mexico. I was experiencing anxiety, sleeplessness, and skin issues. She gathered a full picture of what was going on and designed a personalized treatment plan for me. 4 months later and I am feeling SO much better. She is a kind, compassionate, and dedicated practitioner who I'd recommend to anyone.
I began treatment in August 2022 with Jodi and Tami after suffering from Chronic hives for almost 9 months! I was miserable and could not find any relief. I was lucky enough to see Jodi's talk on Facebook and immediately booked a consult. This was the best decision I have ever made!
In less than 3 months, my hives have improved dramatically! When I get a flare, I am recovering from it much faster! I am not in full remission yet, but with all the specific tests we have run, we have discovered the multiple causes for my hives and have developed a treatment plan. I am confident that ... I will eventually fully recover.
I am so grateful to be working with a team that is so knowledgeable and really listens and researches the underlying causes of this horrible condition.
My functional medicine adventure has truly changed my life.
After trying to achieve health on my own, I turned to Jodi Franklin. Starting with their careful assessment, I began a course that addressed all aspects of my well-being.
Most importantly, my wellness coach Nina brought her depth of experience and wise, kind guidance every step of the way. The individualized plan of care, tailored to my specific needs, made all the difference.
With so many options in the functional medicine market, I researched and chose carefully. Jodi Franklin proved to be of the highest integrity--with great results! My energy has returned and I am grateful for an all-around feeling of well-being.
I have suffered with Anxiety and depression for a long time. Add perimenopause (hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia etc) to the mix and I was a complete mess. Jodi was able to greatly reduce my anxiety/depression to the point that I am no longer on prescription anti depressants. My hot flashes and night sweats are greatly diminished and I'm able to get a restful night's sleep. I can't thank Jodi enough for all she has done for me!
Thank you for all your expert TLC, and extra help with (my son). You are phenomenal at this and are helping people to make enormous life-changing strides. I'm so impressed with the vast amount of information you've absorbed and can communicate so well and lovingly. Thank you with all my heart!
