SUCCESS STORIES

Finally Heard and Helped!

I am happy to share my experience with BeWell. I was having GI problems, insomnia, chronic UTI/ kidney issues along with a full-blown case of Menopause/ hormonal imbalances. Family Doctor and Urologist couldn’t/ didn’t help me. However, with updated labs obtained through BeWell, along with their guidance with supplements and diet, I have been able to share my results with my OBGYN and together they came up with a plan to help me get back to me! If you feel like you’re not being heard or helped, I would highly recommend BeWell and its services.

Significant Improvements

After five months working with the BeWell team, I have experienced significant improvements in my overall well-being. I came to my initial appointment with a variety of ailments including brain fog, anxiety, and fatigue. Laura was able to suggest a few supplements based on my symptoms before diving deeper into the roots of my issues to build a customized plan. I was honestly surprised at how quickly I began to feel better. Every aspect of my plan was thoroughly communicated to me in a way that I could understand and was given constant support and feedback on my progress.

Scheduling, meetings, and checkout procedure are seamless. Team members are at the height of professionalism. I Highly recommend BeWell Associates to anyone looking for a natural approach to their health.

Excellent Customer Service Sets BeWell Apart

I just wanted to let you know that [Office Manager] Lydia provides excellent customer service. She is efficient, pleasant, and helpful. I know this must be a busy time with the supplement sale going on but she was excellent. That’s one of the main things I like about your business – when you call you get to talk to a real person who knows you and cares about you.

Thanks for all you do.

Weight Loss and Great Numbers!

Thank you for helping me get on the right road and getting my body to function properly. As of now, I am down 31 pounds and feel much better. Knowing what to eat and when to eat it has made it much easier, and I am never hungry. Thanks again for helping me not become a statistic as a diabetic. It takes some work, but I think it is better than finger pricks, prescription meds, or insulin shots. I’m happy with my recent numbers and my doctor is also. My A1C is down from 6.6 to 5.7, just .1 away from “normal,” total cholesterol down from 193 to 137, triglycerides down from 123 to 65, LDL down from 124 to 79, and my risk of stroke/heart attack went from 4.39 to 3.04, considered “low.” Thanks, Monica!

From Skeptical To Believer

I was skeptical about calling BeWell because I thought that I would have to make hard changes to my diet and lifestyle. My daughter convinced me to call because she did not want me on a lot of medications. I am so glad I made that call. The changes have been easy. The BeWell Team are so knowledgeable and so helpful. I am feeling better than I have in years. I am off my reflux medicine, I am making better and healthier eating choices, I have the energy to exercise, and I walk every day. I have no inflammation, no bloating, no aches and pains. I have lost ten pounds. I don’t miss bread or dairy at all! I would recommend BeWell to anyone!

Help For Pain And Food Allergies

I have lived for many years with pain and food allergy issues. Recently I was told that I have autoimmune problems, but with no answers to my question – why? Doctors just wanted to give me prescription medicines to deal with the pain. I didn’t want to go down that road of constantly taking prescriptions that only mask the problem. I know that there has to be a reason that my body is being affected the way it is. I am glad that I have found BeWell Associates to try to help me figure out all of my food allergies and health issues. Only one blood test will check for 90 different food allergies – this amazes me! So I went for the blood test, and am now awaiting the results to come back. I’m trying to have patience as I await these results. I have already noticed a difference in my health and pain issues just by cutting out some things that they advised me to stop eating. So I’m grateful for the improvements to date and look forward to knowing more in the future. Thank you BeWell!

Dealing with PCOS-related acne can be a real rollercoaster. Gratefully, there’s a wave of new research indicating specific compounds can lend a helping hand.
⠀
🚨EXTREMELY IMPORTANT CAVEAT BEFORE WE GET INTO THE LIST🚨
Not all supplements are a good fit for all individuals with PCOS. PCOS and hormone management is EXTREMELY individualized. Be sure to talk to your BeWell clinician and pursue hormone testing before starting any new supplements.
⠀
Alright, here are five supplements to support PCOS related acne:
⠀
1️⃣ Myo-inositol: Also known as Vitamin B8, this compound helps your body use insulin better, regulates your menstrual cycle, and can even boosts fertility. Plus, it can tackle issues like hirsutism and gestational diabetes. No wonder it's a favorite among PCOS warriors.
⠀
2️⃣ Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These bad boys are great for keeping testosterone in check and getting your menstrual cycle back on track. Plus, they can up your SHBG levels, which is always a good thing.
⠀
3️⃣ Chromium: Think of this as insulin's little helper. Studies have shown it can lower blood sugar levels by making  insulin more efficient.
⠀
4️⃣ Zinc: This mineral helps reduce DHT levels and keeping your hormones in line. Reducing DHT improves wanted hair, acne, and mood swings.
⠀
5️⃣ Saw Palmetto: If acne is driving you crazy, saw palmetto might be your new best friend. It can help balance out those androgens and keep your estrogen levels in check too.
⠀
So, there you have it. Five supplements that can make a world of difference in managing your PCOS acne.
⠀
Remember, everyone's body is different, so what works for one person might not work for another.

😴 Feeling the effects of daylight savings time (DST) over the weekend? 
⠀
As much as we love soaking up that extra sunlight, the transition isn't always a breeze for our internal clocks, aka our circadian rhythm.
⠀
☀️ Exposure to light later in the day suppresses your body’s secretion of melatonin, making it harder to fall asleep and then wake up in the morning.
⠀
So, what do you do when you find yourself fatigued and under slept after the time change?
⠀
💊 You can use for supplemental melatnonin! Just 1mg, up to 3mg, can help the body transition to the new clock.
⠀
Talk with your BeWell clinician to determine in this is the right fit for you.
⠀
And if you need a reliable, quality melatonin product, we have great options in stock!

We’ve already established that there are multiple factors that can contribute to acne in PCOS.
⠀
So what are you to DO about it? 😩
⠀
Here’s 2 research-based dietary approaches to address PCOS acne.
⠀
1️⃣ Blood sugar control is crucial!
Managing blood sugar levels is a big deal here because PCOS ups the ante on insulin resistance. Insulin resistance revs up those pesky androgens that fuel oily skin and clogged pores, not to mention the unwanted facial hair.
⠀
To manage blood sugar, aim to include protein, fiber, and fat in every meal. For example, that means pretzels as a snack is NOT balanced! It’s all carb without any protein, fiber, or fat. Try instead, hummus with some vegetables topped with canned tuna - now there’s a balanced snack!
⠀
2️⃣ Inflammation control is necessary. Transition to an anti-inflammatory to manage acne.
⠀
Here are some easy examples of anti-inflammatory foods:
⠀
🥑Load up on healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, salmon, and omega-3s.
🫘Get your fill of high-fiber, low glycemic carb sources like squash, beans, and lentils.
🥗Dive into colorful fruits and veggies packed with phytonutrients. Remember the Pigments as Nutrients series?! Colorful produce is packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatories!
⠀
🌭Finally, it’s time to break up with ultra-processed foods that don't bring much to the nutrient table. Here’s an easy rule of thumb - if you couldn’t make it yourself in your kitchen, it’s probably a highly processed food. Instead, focus on those beauties listed above.
⠀
Keep blood sugar control and anti-inflammatory foods as your priority as you navigate the PCOS and acne journey. You’ve got this!
