“I’d been sick for 12 years, since I lived abroad in the Philippines and had gotten an H. Pylori infection. Within the span of that year, I had hypothyroidism and other unexplainable fatigue, eczema and rosacea. I spent years going from MDs to Functional Medicine Practitioners, trying to heal and recover my health. It wasn’t until I met Dr. Stringer and started on her regimen for gut healing in 2020 that I actually made a full recovery! I also was able to completely get off my daily 90mg of thyroid medication! My skin is completely clear now and I have more energy than I have had in years! Thank you Dr. Stringer for giving me my life and my health back! I am forever grateful!”

“When I think about the medical journey that I’ve been on with Dr. Stringer, the one phrase that comes to my mind is, “I wish I met her YEARS ago.” For so many years, I’ve been running myself into the ground trying to function on what felt like barely enough energy to get through the morning, let alone an entire day of being a mom, wife, and employee. If I had a dollar for every time someone, even doctors, told me I just have a lot on my plate and it’s normal to feel tired, have a lack of sex drive, and feel like I have fog in my brain, I would be very rich! I’ve had constant battles with being tired from not sleeping well, having unbalanced hormones, gut issues (constipation), and never feeling like I ate well. I would try all of the popular diet plans and workout but I still felt awful, didn’t lose weight, and actually felt like my workouts got HARDER, instead of easier over time.

After beginning my discovery journey with Dr. Stringer, I have learned so much about MY body and what I need. It wasn’t instantly easy but it has been so worth it. It took some time for my body to adjust but within a month, I was a new woman. I sleep so much better, I don’t wake up with puffy eyes anymore, I feel clearheaded, I don’t feel deprived of certain foods that I love, I am ready for my work day and my workouts without having to give myself caffeine and a huge pep talk. I am a better wife and mom because I feel good! This is still a process and I am continually learning and growing but, in my opinion, it’s so worth it. I finally feel heard and I was right – my body needed more than I was giving it.

If I had to give every woman one piece of advice, it’s listen to your body. You are not making it up and you are not overthinking it. You know yourself and it’s time to take care of YOU so you can be the best mom, wife, and employee! You deserve to be happy, healthy, and THRIVING.

Dr. Stringer – I am so grateful for you in my life.”

“Bedridden for months, I had exhausted all resources as far as Western medicine was concerned.  My system was overwhelmed by years of stress, trauma, and chronic pain that resulted in debilitating sensitivity to light, sound, touch, smells and food.  I knew I needed a whole body approach to healing, but I didn’t know where to turn.  Turning to integrative medicine and Dr. Stringer, I was met with compassion and empathy, and a kindness that was unprecedented.  Dr. Stringer was sensitive to my situation, listened to my story, and for the first time in a long time, I felt heard.  She met me where I was at and slowly and gently (at my pace) helped me peel back layers of pain and sickness to find the root source of my health issues.  She held space for me and guided me through a journey of healing of my physical body, mind and spirit.  I could not be more grateful for her support along this journey back to health.”

“Trying to be a good Mom, trying to be a good daughter, trying to be a good friend, trying to be anything other than miserable was nearly impossible for almost 15 years. All I wanted was to have a day of feeling good. I have had about 14 surgeries, GI issues for over 20 years, enough sinus and ear congestion to make me
feel like I was drowning, overweight, depressed, frustrated and in pain every single day. Things declined very quickly in September 2020. I started having hormone issues, food
allergies, severe brain fog, chest pain, heart palpitations and so much more. At this point, I felt completely hopeless and a lost cause. My first [functional medicine] appointment was not like a regular appointment. I was heard, understood, able to tell my life story plus some.  It was the first time that I had any sense of hope. I trusted Dr. Stringer, trusted the process and I jumped in with both feet! I have had several things to tackle and everything that Dr. Stringer has suggested, has worked! I appreciate her knowledge, her willingness to truly help people and I thank God every day for the progress in my health thus far. I have only had two visits with her but I have lost 40 lbs., my headaches are gone, my inflammation is disappearing, my brain fog is getting better. I have a ways to go but I am not fearing the future any longer. I will always be grateful for Dr. Stringer.”

“Dr. Stringer is an excellent practitioner, knowledgeable and thorough. Her holistic, systemic approach to medical treatment is impressive, as is her knowledge of diagnostic tools and treatments available. And efficient, too, she diagnosed a GI condition that I struggled with my entire life. The consultations I had with her were the most influential doctor visits I ever had.”

“I thought I was at the mercy of my gene pool which is filled with autoimmune disease, cancer, stroke, and Alzheimer’s. After working with Dr. Stringer,  I feel like I have so much more control of my own health. I now look to the future with positivity & hope. I look forward to this continued increased energy and mobility instead of fatigue and overwhelm.”

“Dr. Stringer, I just want you to know that I feel God has used you to help keep me here on Earth.  I’m really serious about that because I don’t know if the adrenal insufficiency would have been discovered in time to save me by any other doctor.  You also diagnosed the MTHFR defect all those years ago and the supplements have surely made a difference in my ability to function as well as I do.  Thank you so much for what you have done for me and for all your other patients!!   The expertise you have is amazing and highly valued, but you top it off with compassion, which is healing in and of itself!”

I truly believe if it weren’t for Dr. Stringer I would not be pregnant with twins right now. I
had an abnormal pap smear plus fatigue and sleep problems. You advised me to cancel my cone biopsy and give my body 6 months to heal with your guidance. You started me on methylfolate without knowing my MTHFR status (I was found to be positive later) and other nutrients . When
I returned for my Pap smear 6 months later, the pre-cancerous cells were gone. If I had had the
cone biopsy done, I believe my cervix would have failed me while carrying these twins at age 39 and I could have miscarried by now. I just wanted you to know I appreciate you and your care soooo much.”

“I could not do it without you Doc!! You inspired and showed me Natural & healthy living. Without your guidance I would never be where I am today. I’m FOREVER grateful and blessed for the knowledge you have showed me along the way. I am so blessed for a 2nd chance at life. God blessed me the moment he put you in my path and introduced me to you to be able to heal through natural healing and holistic healing mind body and spirit. I am going to live it to my fullest now.”

“I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 2014. After working with a Gastroenterologist for a few years, I found Dr. Stringer who was referred to me by a friend. Dr. Stringer did some testing on me, and from the results she put a plan together for me that turned out to be the best decision I could have made for my health. The program she has me on has made a big difference and helped me achieve remission. It’s been a great partnership between my Gastroenterologist, Dr. Stringer,
and a diet called Specific Carbohydrate diet that I have been on for two years. This has
been the perfect combination for me for not having to depend on medication heavily for relief. Thank you Dr. Stringer for your time, patience and interest in my health.
I’m thankful to have you as part of my team!”

“I have been fortunate in my life to be blessed with good health.  My biggest struggle has been my anxiety and depression, which I most likely inherited from my parents, but also
a result of my adverse childhood experiences.  As I turned 50, I also started to experience a host of issues relating to peri-menopause.  I had difficulty sleeping, hot flashes, mood swings/irritability, weight gain around my waist, I was achey, had heart palpitations and low energy which I medicated with caffeine. (Okay, I still do sometimes :-).  This all crept on me over time and was my normal.  I even went to my Family
Practice doctor for blood work and asked about my hormone levels and she said they were fine. Then I met Dr. Stringer. She told me that peri/menopause is not only worthy of a conversation, but also that the symptoms could be managed.  She prescribed oral Bioidentical Progesterone.  She also prescribed for me a 6 month group coaching  program to learn how to achieve optimal health.  I was skeptical because I didn’t view myself as needing the classes… because I wasn’t unhealthy. Jump ahead 6 months later, and here I am feeling better than ever!  Honestly, I didn’t even realize how bad I was feeling before, because it was my norm.  In the group program, I committed to setting goals relating to consistent exercise, eating healthier and managing stress.  I know that’s common sense, but in the past I struggled with consistency and knowing it in my head was different than knowing it in my heart. I now
know it in my heart because of the difference it has made in how I feel. Our vitality truly is the sum of all of our little choices each and every day.  My biggest take-away from the past 12 months is; sometimes we don’t even know we don’t feel well… until we feel great!

“I  attribute the health and vitality I enjoy today in great measure to Dr. Penney Stringer. Twenty years ago, I was one sick puppy. My gynecologist had dismissed me, my GP had done his best and was at his wits end. It was my great fortune to find Dr. Stringer. She helped me heal from my hysterectomy, balance my hormones, and guide me on my wellness journey. Over the years, each time I have hit a roadblock or impasse health wise, Dr. Stringer has accurately diagnosed the problem, finding the missing key, and set me on the path to recovery giving me the tools I needed to regain, restore, and revitalize my health. The 5 LBs in 5 Days Challenge has been a bit of frosting on the cake and some extra sprinkles on top. I have so appreciated her knowledge, wisdom, and expertise on living one’s best life. Self-care ~ not just a good thing to do, but a vital component to wellbeing. I have heard it said, you must get healthy to lose weight. Through this Challenge, Dr. Stringer’s lessons, information, how-tos, and encouragement are motivational and help me stay on a healthy track, losing weight, and keeping it off long term. I am forever grateful.”
