BETHANY’S STORY: 8 YEARS OF SEARCHING, 5 MINUTES TO ANSWERS
"I spent 8 years searching for answers for my health issues… within 5 minutes of meeting me, Dr. Maria identified my root cause."
Bethany came to Dr. Maria after nearly a decade of medical struggles that left her exhausted, confused, and financially drained. In those 8 years, she saw 4 cardiologists, 4 endocrinologists, 2 rheumatologists, 2 neurologists, made multiple trips to the emergency room, and even received a pacemaker. She was misdiagnosed more times than she could count, put on medications she didn't need, and spent tens of thousands of dollars on both conventional and holistic doctors—all trying to get to the bottom of what was happening. Nothing ever truly worked.
Within just 5 minutes of their first consultation, Dr. Maria identified the root cause that had been missed for years. She taught Bethany how to treat it in a way that has completely transformed her life.
Bethany's Results:
SVT episodes have completely stopped
Blood pressure is the lowest it's been in years
No longer experiencing fainting episodes
Brain fog and chronic low energy are gone
Daily joint pain that lasted for years has subsided
Lost 20 pounds and continuing to lose weight healthily
"Dr. Maria is the first doctor who truly got to the root of my health struggles and she has given me back my health and quality of life. I am forever grateful I found her." — Bethany S.
A MOTHER’S HOPE: NON-VERBAL TO SPEAKING IN TWO MONTHS
"In just two short months, the progress we have witnessed has been nothing short of incredible."
This family began working with Dr. Maria in July 2024 for their 7-year-old son who is autistic and had been completely nonverbal his entire life. They were searching for natural, holistic support that honored their son's unique needs while addressing underlying root causes.
Before Working with Dr. Maria:
Completely nonverbal—had never spoken words
Limited awareness of surroundings
Minimal outdoor engagement
Unable to ride a bike or pedal independently
Low stamina and energy
After Just Two Months with Dr. Maria:
Now considered preverbal—saying sounds and simple words like "mom," "dad," "go," "no," and most letter sounds
On his first day of school, he told his teacher, "I want my mommy" (a moment that brought his parents to tears)
More connected to his surroundings and aware of his environment
Enjoys spending long stretches of time outdoors
Stamina has grown so much that the family now walks at least a mile together every day
Learned how to pedal and ride his bike almost entirely on his own
"The changes we've seen in just two months are remarkable, and we truly believe it's because of the care and guidance from Dr. Maria McKendry. We cannot wait to see what the next two months and beyond will bring. It has been a life-changing experience for our son and for our family."
In only 6 weeks my anxiety is near nonexistent, my extreme fatigue is diminishing rapidly by the day and my motivation is coming back. I’ve also lost 15lbs, some chronic pain that I had is gone, my mood is better, my cravings are gone and I finally feel like I’ve found the missing piece to my “health puzzle”.
“I took Dr Maria McKendry’s "Make the Metabolic Switch" course after contemplating taking it for a while but wanted to make sure I could commit! I am a self-employed mother of 7 in my early 40’s and have battled extreme fatigue, inability to lose weight and keep it off, lack of motivation and anxiety for close to 5 years now. Although my bloodwork came back mostly “normal” I was desperate to get to the bottom of what was going on. I have been studying about all the benefits of ketosis and fasting and I decided to take the class and put in the work and WOW!
The amount of knowledge and information poured into this group is astounding and with a teacher like Dr Maria, you will not be disappointed! This course has not only been a blessing to me but my family as well and I am excited to continue on this journey to heal and will forever be grateful to Dr Maria for this amazing opportunity."
