Our Story
Our story began from my desperation to find help. I had spent 8 years suffering from auto-immune type issues. I had been tested for everything under the sun and took many medication and went from specialist to specialist with no results. All of my joints aches, I would get random skin rashes, my hair was brittle and breaking, I had gained almost 50 pounds, I slept 10-12 hours a day and could still fall asleep at the drop of a hat. My depression was out of control and I had terrible panic attacks. The doctors thought I had Rheumatoid Arthritis or Lupus, but the tests came back negative. I tested negative for Celiac Disease. My belly would bloat terribly, waking up with a flat stomach in the morning and looking 6 months pregnant by the time I came home from work and my pants digging into my waist line. I had terrible digestive issues. My body was unable to absorb nutrition and I had to take vitamin D supplements and I got B-12 shots every 2 weeks because my levels were so low they were in the range that could result in neurological damage. I had hit rock bottom and didn’t know where to turn.
After a recommendation by a friend to read the book Wheat Belly, which I did very reluctantly, I sat down and cried. That book seemed to be written about me!! So I made some radical dietary changes and completely eliminated gluten from my diet. In as little as 60 days, many of my symptoms went away and for the first time in years, I lost 5 pounds and I wasn’t exhausted! In just under a year, I had lost 40 pounds, went down 4 clothing sizes, and had the energy to start exercising again. At age 40, after a decade of being sedentary, I became a marathon runner. I ran 4 half marathons and a full 26.2 mile marathon that year!! I did food sensitivity testing and found that I was highly sensitive to all forms of dairy as well. So to this day, I am gluten and dairy free. I am at a comfortable weight, my depression is in check, I rarely have panic attacks and I have a good quality of life. I no longer require B-12 shots or Vitamin D supplements.
I knew that there had to be a better option for people. While traditional medicine is wonderful for serious health ailments, it often fails us when they are unable to diagnose and prescribe a medication to treat the symptoms. We knew we had to provide a way for people to get control back of their lives - and Sangeo Wellness Center was born!! Our goal is to help people employ the right lifestyle changes and practice primary prevention to improve their symptoms and to prevent the development of avoidable chronic health conditions. We also provide treatment options to address chronic pain issues and PTSD without the use of prescription pain medications with toxic side effects and addictive properties.
