Self-healing phenomenon
I started working with Anne two months ago, unbelievably, but already today, I have excellent results and a positive dynamic of how my body displays a self-healing phenomenon. I am endlessly grateful to Anne for her extra-attentive and unbelievable gentle approach to every single client. Interestingly, but before I met Anne, my husband and I were praying about the practitioner who could help me gain my health back because meeting one who is genuinely interested in his/her patient is extremely rare today. My luck, I've been recommended by my co-worker and my boss to see Anne as they have already achieved their positive results; so, I did call her. Here are the problems I had and the results of Anne's work on my health state (I had only three visits):
three months every morning bloating (has completely gone!)
absence of appetite till the mid of the day: to become hungry, I had to take Smecta medicine every single day (Almost gone; I finally start getting to become hungry during the first hour after awakening!)
sleep issues: hard time falling asleep at night and waking up in the morning (Work in progress, but now I know how it is like to wake up restful and ready for a new day!)
pain in the stomach (has wholly gone!)
endless tiredness with short-time flushes of energy during the month (Work in progress: I'm slowly getting there since I'm very ambitious with my goals; however, there is a huge difference where I was when I first time saw Anne and where am I right now
feelings of being crushed once I woke up when I haven't yet gotten out of bed (Work in progress: no unknown crushes in the morning unless I went to bed late in the previous night; my physical body gets stronger day after day)
pulsing headache (Has completely gone, though I had it for a long time - months - and now I do not).
I must admit that I took Anne's recommendation seriously from the first visit and obediently followed everything Anne recommended, which gave me a chance to improve my health state faster. However, some parts of my treatment journey were complex - like changing a diet, which positively influenced my health almost immediately. Also, sleep was a huge part as well. To be honest, I never sleep well from my childhood. I was constantly waking up tired and had low concentration. Now I'm getting on the regular schedule, which gives me enough energy to go through the day as a full-time student and wife. How I wish I could know about these recommendations earlier. From now and on, I use Anne's recommendations in my everyday life to keep myself in good physical and psychological shape.
I'm looking forward to working with Anne to address other aspects of health I am interested in, but this time it is more about prevention! I wish everyone who is looking for a genuine and caring practitioner to try Anne's service first. Maybe you will not have to search anywhere else as Anne's responsible approach to her clients' health is beyond "just nice attitude."
Thank you, dear Anne! And keep in touch!

Perspective shift
Anne has completely shifted my perspective of healthcare. Before I met her, I felt lost and overwhelmed. My gut was a mess, and my PCP was giving me no answers. After several trips to the ER due to unbearable pain, I needed a different approach, and Anne was the solution. Anne's method of healing is centered around humanity and wellbeing, rather than disease and pathology. She taught me how to advocate for myself in a healthcare system that has lost sight of the "care". She is so incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to functional medicine and her support made me feel like I wasn't alone in what I was experiencing. I am now on a path to achieving optimal health and am so grateful for all that I have learned from Anne along the way.

Freedom
When I first met with Anne almost a year ago I had been diagnosed with PCOS a few months prior. I had not been menstruating for at least a few years. The diagnosis sent me into a downward spiral and I became somewhat depressed. I had a lot of frustration regarding my weight, which only seemed to go upward despite all my efforts, and I constantly dealt with IBS symptoms, poor digestion, as well as feeling exhausted every day when 3pm rolled around. Anne tailored a plan for me to get my body back on track and functioning where it should be by changing my diet, adding supplementation, and stress coping techniques. Today I am happier, I have no IBS symptoms or PCOS symptoms, and I have had a period for the past 9 months! Not to mention my energy is 10 times better than it used to be. If it weren't for Anne I don't think I would be where I am today in my health journey. She genuinely cares and wants to help you get better. Working with her keeps me motivated to continue this new healthier, happier lifestyle.

I started working with Anne two years ago and I can't say enough great things about her. She transformed my health. I came to see Anne with complaints of regular migraines, bloating, skin problems and weight problems to name a few. Anne was very thorough in gathering all of my health history including recent blood work testing to ascertain if anything was out of range from a functional medicine perspective. Anne found that I was deficient in certain vitamins. She recommended some supplements that I started taking immediately and she was able to order a few functional lab tests that I would never have gotten from my PCP. Anne helped me with the correct diet that played a major role in getting rid of a lot of my health issues. For the past two years, Anne and I had several meetings, which were very conveniently done through Skype since I live almost an hour away from her. Besides Anne being an amazingly knowledgeable functional medicine specialist, she is also an unbelievable person. I had to have an emergency surgery and Anne was the first person I reached out to. Anne and her husband recommended a great surgeon who was able to help me with my problem in a very short time. I will always and forever be grateful for Anne and her wonderful husband for this! At this point of my life, I feel great! I'm migraine free with stable weight and clear skin. I've learned so much from Anne and can't stop recommending her to others.

Transformation
When I first met Anne, I was a mess. Years of treating my body poorly left me feeling tired and weak which was having a negative impact on my work and my overall quality of life. Almost a year later now I can say I feel healthy again, and it is 110% due to the help and guidance that Anne has given me over that period of time. Anne was able to take her extensive amount of knowledge and use it to create a clear plan that was just for me. She kept me motivated and I could tell that she genuinely cared about my success. I look forward to working with Anne in the future and continuing my self- improvement!!

Lifestyle Change
Bio-individuality- one size does not fit all
When I first began working with Anne I had a slew of gut and digestive issues, I was constantly bloated, my stress was at an all time high, and I felt like I was a roller coaster of emotions unable to stop the ride. I had tried everything under the sun to get to the bottom of what was causing me so much pain and, after many doctor visits, was ready to give up. However, I knew that something was going on that the doctors were unable to detect, and I had a strong feeling that a functional medicine practitioner would be able to help. I met Anne at a talk in NYC and knew that she was the person for me. Her positive energy that exudes happiness and excitement, her maternal instinct to comfort and care for those around her, and her in depth knowledge on a broad range of topics blew me away. I often call Anne my "ray of sunshine", because she is just that! During our first session we discussed the history of my health and, within that first hour, she was able to piece together moments of my life and draw conclusions of causes that none of my doctors had been able to recognize. After that, we embarked on a journey together to heal my stomach and I am so incredibly grateful to say that we are approaching the finish line. She has helped me do the unthinkable and I could not be more grateful for her work and assistance. I recommend her to everyone and anyone!

I was getting stomach pains, constipation and vaginal yeast infections almost every month for a few years. For the yeast infection I saw my gynecologist and specialists but was only given an antifungal medication fluconazole (Diflucan). It treats the side effects of yeast (itching and burning) but doesn't cure the problem at the root. My doctors told me that they didn’t know the reason for me getting this awful monthly yeast. I was very lucky to have known Anne, and we started working together. Anne is very attentive, personal, and professional. I love Anne's approach. Anne explains everything so well. She is very detailed and helped me to understand what and why things were happening. She designed a customized plan for me, checked on me regularly, and was never pushy at all. I was always given great advice. Anne created a life style change for me. It’s not a diet, it's my life :-) I feel great now, no yeast, no constipation, and no stomach pains. Thank you Anne!
I highly recommend Anne Lemons to everyone. She is an awesome person and a very talented professional.

I was introduced to Anne Lemons by both my daughters, who knew how frustrated I was trying to seek new avenues to help with my diet. But, they did warn me, “Mom, you have to do what she recommends or it will not work.”
A few years prior to meeting Anne, I had my gall bladder removed and I was at a loss for what I could eat. When I first met Anne, I was a “hot mess”. I had gained weight, had digestive issues and high blood pressure. I was also pre-diabetic with allergy-related asthma.
After treatments with Anne, I was able to control all of the above symptoms. I lost the weight and said goodbye to my high blood pressure medication. I am no longer pre-diabetic and my allergies and asthma are no longer an issue. I feel great! I also no longer have that pesky wart on my thumb. It was welcoming to hear at a recent doctor’s appointment, “how can you be so healthy?”. My secret, Anne Lemons.
I would highly recommend Anne to anyone who is struggling with finding an answer to your health issues. I thank Anne for her professional advice and my daughters for their recommendation!

In the year that I've been treated by Anne, she has made an amazing difference in my overall health. She came recommended to me by my acupuncturist who I initially sought out post surgery a few years ago when I started not feeling like "myself." My symptoms ranged from low energy and unexplained weight gain to bloating and insomnia - even though my primary care doctor assured me that all was "normal" after various physicals and bloodwork that I had. I was incredibly frustrated as my body was telling me something very different.
I brought my concerns to Anne and she immediately had a plan. Anne suggested an elimination diet as the first step and fully explained everything in a way that made perfect sense. I have extensive knowledge in nutrition but Anne brought a whole new depth I didn’t have. I was willing to put in the work so I went home and executed her plan right away. Anne checked in with me frequently, making me feel supported in this new journey. Over the course of almost a year now, Anne has been very responsive to any and all of my concerns or questions. My health is improving and I no longer have back pain all the time - which surprisingly was caused by a food I was eating. I now sleep almost eight hours a night, my energy is rebounding and the bloating is not as constant. I wish I had met Anne before my surgery as I feel it possibly could have been avoided.
Anne’s approach was clean and clear. We worked on just a few of my symptoms at a time and at my own pace. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a different, holistic approach to their health care. She’s very patient, caring and detailed in her plans and her results for me have been dramatic.

When I first came to Anne I was having issues with stomach bloating and my skin reacted to things I would eat and I could never figure it out. It was driving me crazy!!! Over the past twelve years, I would get up on average 4-5 times per night to go to the bathroom and I wouldn’t get a restful night sleep. I am so grateful that I met Anne!!! My skin glows now, my stomach is flat, I feel my body looks fit and lean, and I only get up once per night. I even got a compliment from someone recently that I look like I’m in my twenties (and I’m in my forties). Anne is so knowledgeable in what she does. I would highly recommend booking an appointment to meet with her. It changed my life!

I am so grateful to Anne for her beautiful spirit, in-depth knowledge, and approach to health in general. As a functional medicine practitioner, Anne sees the entire person: mind, body, and spirit equally. Western medicine doesn’t begin to do that. I was so frustrated with the doctors I saw for my health challenges; they didn’t listen to me, and they certainly didn’t care about who I am as a whole. I was just a conglomeration of parts to them. Anne spends the time with me to understand who I am as an individual. What is true for me and the way my body works may be completely different from someone else. When I work with Anne, the sample size is n = 1. She doesn’t try to treat me based on what everyone else might be doing; she recognizes and honors my unique situation. Particularly for conditions such as SIBO, this is a critical approach to beginning to feel better and heal. Anne offers her wide knowledge with compassion and curiosity instead of judgement and superiority. We are a team. My eternal appreciation and sincere gratitude to Anne for walking with me on this healing journey!

I came to Anne over two years ago now- which is crazy to even think! When I started seeing her, I was having yearly sinus infections, bloating, gut and digestive issues, headaches and horrible acne. I was so fed up and knew I needed to make a change. When I started with Anne, she uncovered and examined the history of my health in a way I had never experienced before and after the first visit I instantly felt more in control of my health. What I love about Anne is her customized approach to healing my concerns. All the information and tools I am given are there for me, not just during this journey, but also for the years to come!
Beginning this journey with Anne was the best gift I ever gave myself- not to mention how much I look forward to our sessions. Anne has such a warm and calming presence; I always leave with a smile on my face! Since my initial journey with Anne, we have resolved my acne, I have not had a sinus infection since, and my gut health has healed immensely. Though I no longer need to see Anne regularly, I am so grateful to have her to check in for a session once in a while when I need added support. She has given me the tools to take control of my health, but I can say with confidence my greatest tool in my tool belt is Anne- and for that I am thankful!

Consultation for colleagues
I just wanted to give you a big virtual hug and say THANK YOU so much for all of your guidance and expertise with my SIBO client. I couldn’t have done it without you and I was able to learn so much in the process. We finished up our work together for the time being and he is doing really well. He continues to gain weight and he is close to his target weight and his energy has returned. Of course his path with SIBO continues to unfold, but he feels major progress has been made and is in a much better place (both physically and emotionally) to deal with the ups and downs of SIBO. THANK YOU!
