Here’s My Story

Dr. Thibodeaux DC CFMP has spent 12+ years as a Chiropractor and Holistic Health Provider. Her journey in Functional Medicine began after she was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). After this diagnosis she spun on the conventional medicine wheel for 2 years without relief, constantly questioning her conventional medicine doctors about the cause of her IBS. The answer was ALWAYS the same “it’s your genes” and “it cannot be reversed” and “you will be on lifelong medication and battle this condition FOREVER”. It’s terrifying to think that you will be in pain until your last breath and she knew there had to be a better way to live. A way to reverse this without constantly relying on pharmaceutical intervention that created side effect after side effect. When she finally discovered functional medicine she was on 12 different medications, had gained 55 pounds, had eczema all over body and was suffering with chronic insomnia and fatigue. A shell of herself. This was ROCK-BOTTOM. She had turned into an overmedicated zombie with a constant itch and tummy ache. She was introduced to a Functional Medicine Provider 8 years ago and it changed everything. For the first time she was able to get control back. The Functional Medicine Provider was able to connect the dots between symptoms and diet and lifestyle choices. These imbalances had to be corrected. It was a journey of 6 months to correct the nutritional imbalances, get the gut biome balanced and then slowly wean off the many medications, but it was accomplished. The root of the IBS was found and corrected. This was life-changing. Most people utilize Functional Medicine providers as a last resort, when the “wheel” fails. They waste years turning in circles until one day they have had enough and want their control back, that’s what happened here. Dr. Thibodeaux will listen to your whole story to see where you’ve been and what got you to this point. Then go about investigating and finding out the imbalances IN YOUR BODY.
