Testimonials Archive | Amy Beard MD

Dr. Beard and her team have been amazing. The experience of the Total Gut Job as well as the functional medicine services I have received in addition have truly been life-changing for me. I came to them as a very complicated case, with much to learn about my health. Health is truly influenced by so […]

I started working with Dr. Beard in August of 2022. Since that time I’ve learned how to eat “clean” which has drastically improved my thyroid function, helped me lose weight, and completely improved my plantar fasciitis. I’ve learned so much about gut health and the role our gut plays in our overall health. Her supplements […]

The primary reason I came to Dr Beard was issues with my thyroid. I was frustrated with the traditional medical system not really concerned with trying to figure out what was causing my thyroid issues that really came out of nowhere.  Dr Beard and my health coach were very attentive to all of my concerns […]

I just wanted to let you know that I am beyond thrilled to have Amy Beard’s Living Well Course. Some time ago, I consulted with Dr. Amy and followed her advice, by trying the elimination diet because of stomach issues. By doing that, I discovered that there are some things that I cannot eat without […]

When my daughter was 12 years old, we began seeing Dr. Beard for concerns with her height and joint pain. In the western medicine/big pharma world, she needed referrals to a rheumatologist, endocrinologist, and dermatologist. We wanted to go the functional medicine route. From my own personal experience, it is SIGNIFICANTLY more effective and healing. […]

My health journey began at 40 with a lot of prayer!! I had no support from my pcp or rheumatologist. Much to my own ignorance, I thought they would support gut health and diet changes for healing. I was very disappointed with blank stares and arrogant smirks. I left their offices in tears. I had […]

Immediately after hearing Dr. Mark Hyman speak in 2017, I scheduled a consult with Dr. Beard. I’ve been under her and the team’s care ever since. Upon healing my gut, identifying sensitivities, and overhauling my lifestyle, my overall health has improved 100-fold. My journey has not been all gumdrops and rainbows. That said I cannot fathom the […]

The Live Well guide and planner and course is absolutely amazing! This is such a valuable resource for physical and spiritual health. Amy is simply a wealth of knowledge and truly has a heart to help educate others with the ability to steward their health well. It is practical, full of useful information, and easy […]

As I got closer to my 50th Birthday my bloating got worse. Many trips to the doctor to see what could be the problem and nothing. Even worse, they pushed me off like it wasn’t a big deal and to get over it. I had been receiving Testosterone pellets for several years and they helped […]

I would LOVE to share my POSITIVE experience and results with this group! I started the total gut plan in January 2023 with TERRIBLE liver enzymes results which is what brought me here. Doctors put the fear in me about what all could happen to my liver if I didn’t take action and lose weight. […]

I’m about 6 weeks out of the elimination phase and got all of my labs back and they are soooo much better! I knew I felt so much better but having modern medicine/science confirm what I felt to be true was pretty exciting! All of my hormones (which literally were ALL out of whack) were […]

The LiveWell planner was a God-send for me. Even after making changes to my diet & lifestyle, I  was at a point where I needed guidance. I felt this planner might be my answer & I was so right! It is well designed and so easy to follow. I own a business and literally work […]

“I had a really good experience with functional medicine. I was having some issues with itchiness, swelling, and redness on my lips, and it had been misdiagnosed as HSV-1 in the past, but I had never had success treating it this way. After meeting with Hannah Tikson, I did the total gut job elimination diet, […]

“Amy’s Total Gut Job is a great resource for anyone wishing to improve their overall health and to improve how they feel from day-to-day. I’ve done the protocol twice now, having kept 50 lbs off after the first time for over two years. I lost a little more this time (about 8 lbs), but I […]

“I’ve always been intimidated by people that can be so disciplined to eat properly to heal their gut. I never thought I’d be able to be one of them. My excuses included: time, money, love of “trash” food, not educated in what I’d need to eat, etc. Eventually, my desire to feel better trumped my […]
