The Science of Transformation: How We Track Progress & Optimize Your Recovery

For over two years, we have tracked client transformations with remarkable results. Our protocol is currently undergoing formal publication to validate what our clients already know: this works.

“Recovery is no longer a mystery—it’s a process.”

Feeling lost in your health journey? You’re not alone. Recovery happens step by step, and tracking your progress provides clarity and confidence when you need it most.

Real Results: Our Data from Past Clients

We measure real-world improvements. Here’s what our data shows:

📊 From our clients surveyed from December to March:

69% reduction in anxiety, depression and panic.

75%  reduction gut and digestive issues

76% reduction of muscle weakness/pain

A nurse, struggled with debilitating chronic health

A nurse, struggled with chronic health conditions for years, including POTS, fatigue, crushing pain, nerve issues, insomnia, and mental health struggles. In 2017, her health deteriorated, leading to three years of being bedridden. Feeling nonfunctional for three years, Jennifer experienced severe depression, anxiety, fatigue, and physical limitations that affected her ability to drive and care for her home. Within two weeks of starting the program, she noticed a significant reduction in inflammation, improved circulation, and relief from headaches, muscle pain, and joint pain.

How Malia Triumphed Over Chronic Health Issues

Malia struggled with hypoglycemia, adrenal fatigue, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and vision loss. The health issues left Malia unable to perform basic tasks like brushing her hair or getting a drink of water. Traditional medical approaches provided no answers, leading to frustration and hopelessness.

Why Data Matters in Recovery

Tracking doesn’t create progress—but it guides, accelerates, and optimizes it.

Without clear markers of improvement, it’s easy to feel stuck or uncertain about whether what you’re doing is working

  • We track progress Weekly
  • We analyze key biomarkers 
  • We personalize adjustments

Who We Help:

dysautonomia / autoimmune disease diagnosis
Autoimmune Diagnosis: Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Adrenal Fatigue, POTs, POHs, MCAS, ME/Chronic Fatigue, Lymes and other debilitating diseases.
Individuals with Unexplained Symptoms: Many of our clients have visited multiple doctors without receiving a clear diagnosis. They often experience extreme fatigue, heart palpitations, and other symptoms that are frequently misdiagnosed or labeled as psychosomatic.
Sleep Issues: Many of our clients suffer from disrupted sleep patterns, leading to non-restorative sleep and conditions like insomnia, which severely impact their well-being.
Those with Visible Signs: Symptoms such as changes in skin color, dryness, and acne-like blemishes are common among our clients. They might notice their feet and legs turning purple or pink due to blood pooling.
People with Sensitivities: Light, sound, and temperature sensitivities are typical, leading to significant discomfort and disruption in daily life. Clients often report needing sunglasses indoors or struggling with even slight temperature changes.
Cognitive and Physical Impairment: Brain fog, memory issues, and physical difficulties such as muscle pain and weakness are prevalent. These impairments make daily tasks challenging and affect the overall quality of life.
Immune System Deregulation: Frequent infections and severe autoimmune responses are common, complicating health further and often leading to additional diagnoses.
Unpredictable Daily Functioning: The variability in symptoms makes it difficult for clients to plan activities, as their capacity to participate can change dramatically from one day to the next.

How We Help:

“At the Integrated Health Foundation, we specialize in recognizing and treating these complex symptoms. Our holistic approach addresses the root cause's and provides personalized care plans that promote lasting health transformations.”

THE KEYS WE HAVE DISCOVERED

Repair one system at a time.

Chronic health conditions often present a myriad of confusing and widespread symptoms, leading to a cascade of diagnoses that can leave you feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about your next steps. At the heart of these conditions lies a dysregulated nervous and immune system, making them the key areas to address first.

As such, the main focus needs to be on repairing, rebuilding, and balancing the nervous and Immune systems. If these core issues are addressed the rest is sure to follow.

The IHF Protocol is a nutritional, limbic and lifestyle protocol designed to do the following:

  • Rebuild and balance the nervous system
  • Rebuild the immune system
  • Regulate the microbiome
  • Establish proper hydration and electrolyte balance
  • Regulate blood flow
  • Repair damaged nerves

THE MICROBIOME AND THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

The gut, often referred to as the ‘second brain,’ contains around 100 million nerve cells that significantly influence our nervous system, mood, and immune health.

The helpful bacteria in your gut, called the microbiome, and the things they make are very important for keeping your body’s automatic functions healthy.

Our microbiome is widespread – it covers the skin outside our body and powers our digestive system inside our body. It is composed of trillions of bacteria, parasites, and viruses. In fact, the human body has more bacterial cells in its microbiome than it has human cells!
Copy of Why You’re Still Struggling on Carnivore... (1)
99% of the genetic diversity (genes from DNA and RNA) in your body comes from these bacteria, and not from our parents. The human body is a combination of its native and acquired genetic diversity.

Humans are initially seeded with their microbiome through the mother’s birth canal (if we were born naturally). We are further seeded through breast milk and contact with the people who have been around us the most. If one is born via c-section, if one is given sterile formula, and if one has taken antibiotics, all these can impair or even completely disrupt the development of a healthy microbiome.

Why You’re Still Struggling on Carnivore...

The bacterial colonies in your microbiome have life cycles that range from one single day to twenty-four months. Without enough of the specific food a bacterial colony requires during its lifecycle, the bacteria will die-off. This die-off can be used to change the microbiome composition in a very beneficial way and in turn enable the regeneration of the nervous system.

“The intricate relationship between the microbiome and the autonomic nervous system underscores the critical importance of addressing gut health in your recovery journey.”

LIMBIC SYSTEM AND IT’S LINK TO THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

The limbic and nervous systems are closely interconnected, yet they serve distinct roles. Balancing both systems is crucial for restoring overall health.

The limbic system is a specialized part of the nervous system that plays a crucial role in emotional and memory-related functions, while the nervous system as a whole manages communication and control across the entire body.

Many people with chronic health issues experience what is known as limbic hypersensitivity. In this state, the brain remains trapped in a ‘fight or flight’ response, continuously releasing stress hormones like cortisol, which perpetuates inflammation, anxiety, and chronic symptoms.

Limbic work is the practice done to ‘rewire’ the brain to produce the happy chemicals, enabling the body to return to a state of balance and calm where it can recover naturally.

LIFESTYLE AND ITS IMPACT ON THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

Our body constantly reacts to its environment, directly affecting hormones that impact the limbic system, gut microbiome, and nervous system.

Regulating your hormones is crucial for nutrient absorption and achieving balance. Developing new daily-lifestyle practices helps align the hormonal system with the body’s natural rhythms, promoting deep, restorative sleep which is essential for repair.

Lifestyle Tips

  • Scary movies and modern intense music decrease nerve function. Opt instead for funny movies and classical/gentle music while you are healing.
  • Cold showers and cold therapy regulate and enhance nerve function.
  • Snacking and eating frequently deregulate and compromise nerve function.
  • Poor sleep quality deregulates immune function. Impeccable sleep habits will be required, and these can be developed.
  • When chronic health patients are studied in sleep labs, they express significant sympathetic surges through the night, waking them up frequently. The patients often wake for under two minutes and are rarely aware of awaking at all. This is believed to be a large contributor to the “hit by a bus” feeling patients experience, as they are not achieving deep levels of sleep.
  • Although chronic health patients typically present with hypersomnia, it is imperative that one wakes at 7am. This is regardless of one’s bedtime. Due to the deregulated circadian rhythm, most will be up at night and asleep during the day. As we cannot force ourselves to bed, the best option is to wake up at the same time every day. This includes when one is unable to go to sleep until 5am. After a few weeks, the body will start to reset, and one will become sleepy at night.

These are just a few of the lifestyle factors that need to be considered and addressed for a client to go into full remission. We could write a whole other guide on the misconceptions and misinformation given around suggested exercise routines!

Taking responsibility for better health outcomes is 100% necessary with this condition.

Severe Fatigue & Pain Nearly Took Her Life – An Inspiring Comeback.

Savannah was a registered nurse. She suffered from severe fatigue (sleeping all day), headaches, constipation, insomnia, joint and muscle pain, and shortness of breath. She experienced significant improvements in just two weeks. Her fatigue lifted, sleep quality improved, and daily life became more manageable. This transformative journey brought newfound energy, allowing Savannah to actively engage with her family, a stark contrast to her previous struggles. Savannah went on to experience an amazing recovery.

20 years of struggling with chronic illness, neurological issues.

For over 20 years, he battled severe fatigue, neurological symptoms, blood sugar crashes, joint pain, and sleep disturbances, all while doctors found no answers. Despite spending thousands on treatments and supplements, nothing provided lasting relief. The frustration of being dismissed, financially drained, and missing out on life experiences—like a father-son hiking trip—made the journey even harder. After years of trial and error, he finally found a comprehensive approach that addressed the root causes, leading to real healing and a renewed future.

Nutrition

We emphasize the importance of nutrients in chronic disease and understand the key role it plays in the microbiome, nervous system and overall healing. Our unique, study supported diet combines thousands of years of human digestive progress with a powerful understanding of the gut biome in health and mental resilience. Because each case we work with is unique, we strive to incorporate root causation, developing a nutrition plan that is specific to the individual.

Limbic Work

The limbic system plays a crucial role in regulating emotions and stress responses. Our program includes techniques to retrain the limbic system, helping clients manage stress and improve emotional resilience. We provide strategies, education and accountability to assist in balancing the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

Lifestyle Modifications

The brain and nervous system are influenced throughout the day by each task performed. For the chronically ill, nervous system regulation is crucial. The lifestyle modifications not only bring a safe, calm environment but also stimulate specific areas of the body to tone, modulate and synchronize their particular organ systems. This allows a whole body restoration with each system harmonizing together. We work with clients to develop personalized lifestyle plans that address factors relating too: sleep, exercises, environmental stress and so much more. These changes are essential for maintaining a balance of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) and overall health.

A Supportive and Collaborative Community

We understand that dysautonomia and other chronic illnesses can be extremely isolating and discouraging. Additionally, the effort it takes to make big changes is daunting when faced alone. Because of this, we have designed our program around building a knowledgeable community where we can support and lift each other. We have found that clients are significantly more likely to be successful in their health goals in this type of collaborative environment.

Our Story

Our journey began with a personal health crisis. At 19, our founder experienced a sudden and debilitating swelling in his legs, leading to a diagnosis of Lupus. Presented with a regimen of steroids, synthetic drugs, and a grim lifelong prognosis, he chose an unconventional path, seeking alternative methods to restore his health.

Along the way, he was led to many enlightening discoveries and practitioners who had reversed not only Lupus but many other conditions. After turning his health around, he decided to partner with leading practitioners from around the world to show the 70 million people battling dysautonomia how to reverse this debilitating condition.
