Elimination Diet Helps Patient Uncover Root Causes
Yvonne Addressed Hormones, Inflammation & Sleep — All In One Place
For years, Yvonne battled hormone imbalances, poor sleep and chronic inflammation. Like many women, she didn’t know where to turn. Instead of chasing scattered treatments for each concern, she came to Dr. Marguerite Weston, where everything was addressed together, with purpose and clarity.
One of the most powerful tools in her journey? The Elimination Diet — a functional medicine strategy that removes inflammation-triggering foods and helps identify what’s really going on in the body.
“I’ve been struggling with hormone issues, sleep issues & inflammation. So, I decided, why not give it a try? I’m about 14 days in, & I am so grateful that I did it.”
One Team. One Plan. One Whole Body.
At Donaldson, we don’t treat symptoms in isolation. We treat the whole person. Dr. Weston and her team used root-cause diagnostics and nutrition-first interventions to give Yvonne real answers. From hormonal balance to improved sleep and reduced inflammation, every outcome was connected.
And so was her care.
“I’ve done calorie counting, macros, measurements. All of it. But this was different. I’ve just been eating whole, really amazing, nutritious food — & I could not feel better.”
Our Focus is on Healing, Not Restricting
Yvonne also lost weight naturally, without chasing the number. While this wasn’t the focus, it was a welcome byproduct that aligned with her unique goals. It is also a leading indication that the plan her and her care team created was working.
“Yes, the caffeine headache was rough the first day. I felt miserable, grumpy … but now? I’m sleeping better. I feel like myself again. And I’m honestly shocked at how good this feels.”
