When I first visited Dr. Huber in 2010 I was suffering from chronic fatigue, and I would wake in the morning after 6 to 9 hours of sleep feeling desperately tired. It was so bad in the morning that my body felt like a heavy lead weight. I was in no way unfit, I am 46 years old and weigh 175 pounds and hold 2 black belts in different forms of Karate.

A sleep clinic told me I had sleep apnea so I tried CPAP for 3 months and it made matters worse.

I made an appointment to see Dr. Huber and my initial test results confirmed that I had many vital levels that were way out of balance and ultimately contributing to adrenal fatigue. I was prescribed a number of herbal supplements to reverse the problems.

"Dr. Huber actually promised me that he would cure me from this debilitating ailment (Sleep Apnea) and that I would feel far better in a short period of time. I felt that was a guarantee that could only be made by someone with extreme confidence and ability in what they practice. No one had ever given me guarantees like that before.

Within 3 months I had actually experienced what waking up feeling refreshed actually feels like. It was amazing to say the least. The heavy weight feeling was replaced with new strength and stamina. After 6 months of treatment all my vital levels were well within tolerances. I was able to resume 3 Cross-fit sessions a week and am now the strongest I have ever been.

I was also diagnosed with some food intolerances that are now being addressed and will also be reversed.

The staff is simply fantastic. They really care and fully understand what you are going through. They actually spend the time to listen to you and then spend the right amount of time explaining what the problem is and how they will address it. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to get a new lease of life and feel strong, relaxed and healthy.

“Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)held me prisoner in my own body for most of my adult life. Obesity, acne, unwanted hair and depression- these are the symptoms I thought I would never overcome. I felt certain diabetes, high cholesterol and heart disease were an inevitable part of my future. As a nurse practitioner I attended a medical conference in 2011 and found myself sitting in a lecture given by Dr. Gary Huber on PCOS. His message was different than anything I had heard on the subject matter. Instead of promoting prescription medications as the crux of treatment he was championing diet, exercise and alternative therapies. I listened with doubt but also with curiosity. Could it be that the mainstream treatment I had subscribed to since I was 18-years-old was partly responsible for my continued problems? My first appointment with Dr. Huber left me cautiously optimistic. I was primed for a major lifestyle change: ready to lose weight, get off my prescription medications, increase my activity and radically change my way of eating. That was May 11th, 2011.

Today it is April 5th, 2012. I have been following the recommendations of Dr. Huber and as a result here is what I have lost: 73 pounds, four pant sizes, hunger and cravings, exhaustion, all prescription medications and depression. Here is what I have gained: confidence, energy, passion for healthy living and elevated mood. One year ago I would not have been able to imagine myself as the woman I am today. As a carb-addicted, exhausted and discontented person I felt trapped in my own body and my own life. I have worked hard. But if I can do it, ANYONE can do it! Embracing a new way of thinking about PCOS has most surely saved me from a future of diabetes, heart disease, depression and obesity. Dr. Huber and the staff at Huber Personalized Medicine have directed me and helped me to meet my goals. But I am not done yet! I will lose a total of 100 pounds and at least 2 more pant sizes. I will continue to eat clean and supplement. I will exercise regularly. I will enjoy my new health, my new body and my new outlook on life!

“I am an Executive who ran her own business for 13 years before merging with another organization. Currently I am running a division of that company.

I have been in various stages of unhealthy since 1993 (undiagnosed). In the last five years the symptoms have steadily increased, coming to a crisis point in December 2014. A friend insisted that I see Dr. Huber. Following is a description of my issues:

• Chronic cough that interfered with living a normal life. It got worse the more tired I became and the only thing that took it away (or controlled it) was to sleep.

• Extreme fatigue – not the kind of fatigue you can work through. I had no idea on any given day how much energy I would have for that day. Once the energy was gone the cough became uncontrollable and my body couldn’t cope. Sleep was my only option. Sometimes that fatigue occurred as early as 9:30am. Never could I shower, put on the make up, wash hair and get dressed and go to client meetings. My available energy allowed for only one of those options so I would have to shower on days I didn’t have many meetings.

• My gums were red and sore – brushing my teeth was painful. My poor dentist tried every mouthwash (prescription) and many other things but nothing worked.

• My intestines didn’t work right so managing my bowels because a full time job. I would have to get up very early to insure that I could deal with my bowels and still get to clients on time.

• My body pain was extreme. Each morning I would have to sit on the side of my bed to try to get up the courage to walk to the bathroom. It was painful to straighten my hips; it hurt to put weight on my feet, etc.

• Lethargy was hard to fight because it hurt to do almost anything. Yet I had a full time job to accomplish.

My 92 year old mother could walk farther, accomplish more, move better, and needed fewer naps than I did. I was really beginning to wonder how much longer I could live that way. The possibility of a fruitful, normal future was disappearing and hopelessness was an unwelcome companion.

"I saw Dr. Huber for the first time on April 24, 2015. He listened well to all my issues and seemed confident in the approach he wanted me to take. That confidence was hope producing for me. I felt determined to simply do what he said to do. I was started on some supplements with instructions to stop eating foods that were causing me trouble (all grains). Chelsea helped make that practical for me so that I could succeed."

It is August 30, 2015... only four months since first seeing Dr. Huber. My life is very different! My body pain is virtually gone. I wake up in the morning and get out of bed without any pain. My energy is back to normal levels. I can shower and get ready and still do a full 8-10 hour work day. The lethargy is gone and I am beginning to add fun back into my life. (In the past there was not enough energy for fun and my job. It has been over 10 years since “fun” even sounded “fun”.) The chronic cough that had plagued me for years was gone within 3 weeks of my first visit to Dr. Huber. My dentist is shocked at the health of my gums and tongue. My intestines are working more normally and will continue to improve.

I have hope now of a normal life. I am full of joy and excited about each new day. I have things to look forward to because I now have the stamina and ability to do them. I can take care of my great nieces and nephews and keep up with them. I can plan a vacation and actually look forward to going. I have been given my life back. How can you thank someone enough for that??

See Penny, she has a whole letter that Bill wrote that needs to be transcribed into this testimonial “Dr. Huber, I wanted to take a moment and thank you and your entire staff, specifically yourself and Penny Krebs on what has been...

“My 4 year old son’s pre-K teacher sent me a recent email stating he had impulse control issues, troubling focusing, and had trouble staying on task. She suggested that he be evaluated by his pediatrician. I did not want to take him to his pediatrician for fear they would want to “medicate” him. I immediately consulted Dr. Huber. He asked me to make a list of what my son’s diet consisted of. How many fruits and vegetables he was getting. I listed on average what he ate during a 1 week period. Little did I know he was getting way too much sugar. I thought 100% natural fruit juice was healthy. Dr. Huber advised me making some dietary changes and work with his dietitian to help make this transition easy. In less than 2 weeks he was a totally different child. His teacher told me how “calm” he was. We can go places and he is not being disruptive. He can sit still for a longer period of time. He is less intense and just seems happier. The difference in his whole personality completely changed. Thank you so much Dr. Huber for protecting my son’s future!”

“My initial weight of 198lbs. was a major health concern said my heart doctor, Dr. Dean Kereiakes of Christ Hospital. He suggested seeing Dr. Gary Huber. and I began about 5 months ago. I was having difficulty bending forward (weight exerted pressure on my chest) and I was very uncomfortable and it had affected my personal thoughts of how was I going to get well and return to my desired weight? I tried Weight Watchers and could not develop the interest prior to seeing Dr. Huber and his personalized program. [The staff] assisted and guided me from day one and I could not have accomplished my goal of 170lbs without them. They provided me individual attention, encouragement, monitoring and tests and the results came from all of their efforts.

I will be forever grateful to all the fine people at Huber Personalized Medicine for their kindness and assistance in achieving my goal of 170lbs. Now I have entered a maintenance program to stay at the current level.
With kindest regards,

Andy

I turned 30 years old and it aggravated me to acknowledge I couldn’t eat whenever and whatever I wanted anymore. I hated that if I ate when and what I wanted I piled on mega unwanted pounds. So I started trying diets and I mean all of them! Diets that were advertised on television or radio, diet pills, diets of urban legend, diets guaranteed through the internet underground of un-keepable promises. I even resorted to surgery to lose weight but nothing consistently worked and certainly no diet had endured. Lose 25 pounds but put 35 or more back on when I could no longer stand the small amount of food associated with the latest diet trend.

“I turned from surgery and diets to changing my eating habits with Dr. Huber’s program. Dr. Huber gave me no guarantees, promises or magic elixirs; but it did give me the physician supervised and dietitian coordinated weight management plan of how to change my life style of food choices. Upon working the personalized plan with Dr. Huber and his staff it has delivered. It is not free and it takes effort but isn’t that the price of anything we have achieved in life that is worthwhile?”

57 years old - 365 Days into his personalized program having lost 80.5 pounds.

“I tried not to ever think of myself as being an overweight person. Always prided myself over the years for being able to do the same things that normal people do while I was so overweight. I was in denial for years and years. The weight I carried was taking an awful toll on my body. When I finally did come around to seeing the truth, I was well over 400 lbs. By then it was another four or five years of mental anguish, struggling with the guilt and helpless feelings about what I had let myself become.

I always thought that I had a long hard road ahead of me if I ever wanted to be a normal person again. I thought that I was not physically or mentally prepared to do what I needed to do to get the weight off of me. But I was wrong!

First of all, I was oblivious to the things that were causing me to gain weight. All of the things that made my diet were the real problem. In January of this year, I was weighing in at around 507, I can’t remember. What I do remember was the transition from being helpless to being empowered. Once I was taught about all the causes of my weight gain and started acting on changing the things I was learning, it was not hard at all.

Since the second week of January I have lost about 160 lbs. I didn’t take long (about 6 1/2 months so far) and it was not the hard road I thought it was going to be. Simply changing what I ate and a little exercise, common sense things that Dr. Huber has taught me, I feel more alive than I have in years.” This has started the ball rolling for me and I feel like I can continue on and lose the rest of the weight I need to –no problem. It’s good to have an ally that understands what I am doing. Thank you.

“A number of months ago after my 75th birthday, I decided I did not want to be a little, fat, unhealthy, old grandmother and that Dr. Huber was my last chance to accomplish that dream. Over the months I have lost 57 pounds with the help and enormous encouragement from ALL the staff members of LMI. They are all knowledgeable and extremely kind. Dr. Huber did not accept my excuses when I gained a pound and that was exactly what I needed – clear guidance. I am now comfortably able to consume lots of water daily. I understand but am still learning “food management”. I walk for a half hour to an hour every day and that with the weight loss has been easier to accomplish. I feel as I did at 30 years of age. I’m full of energy, my arthritis is much improved and I no longer take medication for my high blood pressure nor stomach ulcer. The minor health problems I experienced during the months were immediately dealt with by Dr. Huber. Nothing was too big or too minor for his attention. I am constantly told by friends, family and casual acquaintances how much better and younger I look. I like myself now and I could not have managed without the help of Dr. Huber and all of his staff.

“With the help of Dr. Huber’s personalized approach to athletic performance and overall wellness I have been able to soar to new heights as an athlete that I never previously anticipated. His council helped me to jump from the high school level of performance onto the collegiate and eventually international level.”

“I am a woman in my 40’s who has had migraine headaches since elementary school. A typical migraine for me would start with spots in my vision that would last for about 20 minutes. I would then start to feel the pain of the headache and about 20 minutes after the pain would start I would start with vomiting. Other symptoms included unorganized thoughts and sensitivity to light and sound. Up until my hysterectomy I had at age 40 I would get these headaches in different intervals. Sometimes I could go 6 months to a year and then sometimes I would have two or three of them in a weeks time and then go for months without having one. Over the years I have found medications to help with the symptoms, but never anything to make the migraines not come on in the first place. Four days after the hysterectomy I started to get the headaches every other day to every 3 days and sometimes 6 to 7 days in between. Along with the migraines I had other symptoms going on when I was not having a migraine. These included my thinking to be unclear most of the time, I would get light headed often, and I could not focus on more than one thing at a time like I use to be able to do. As well as these symptoms I had a sick feeling in my stomach the majority of the time and my vision always seemed to look like in was only two dimensional. I was miserable for months and months and felt as if I would go crazy. I tried going to my regular doctors and they could not help me with them. They tried synthetic hormones and they just made everything worse and still did not help with the migraine pattern I was stuck in.

At this point my husband had found Dr. Huber and this saved my quality of life. It took a while, but it started with eating healthy foods and getting the right supplements into my body. I also started bio identical hormone replacement therapy, which I think has made the most difference with the migraines. I was tested to see what my levels were and we went from there. At first we started with a low dose and worked our way up. I started with patches and had to move to creams since the patch dose would not go high enough. I could see some improvement when I started counting the intervals of migraines in weeks instead of days and now I am counting them in months and going on one year in April of 2012. I think I can safely say that for the first time in my life I am a migraine free person!

I would strongly recommend anyone who is having migraines to get your hormone levels check out and to seek help from a professional who knows what they are doing with hormone replacement therapy. I of course would strongly recommend Dr. Huber since he has done such a wonderful job working with me to figure out what my individual system needed. It may take a few months to work out what another person’s personal symptoms are but it is well worth your time and effort to try it.

Sincerely, A happy healthy migraine free person!
Melinda

“I came in with high blood pressure, depression, lack of exercise, poor eating habits, irrational behavior, emotional and this took a huge toll on my relationships. Now my blood pressure averages 110/64. No blood pressure meds, always active, running and walking 6 miles every day, light weights and jumping rope daily 1000(x). I’m not emotional, energy level has vastly improved and relationships on the mend.

I am just so grateful for Dr. Gary Huber and his staff. They have given me my life back. I fell like I have been let out of jail. I love the weekly accountability and this program gives you a variety of food choices in comparison to the HCG program.”

Maggie

“I have been in the program for 3 weeks. I have lost 19 pounds and 2 inches. After the first 19 days of the program I was able to wear a suit to church that I had not worn for 2 years. I was wearing size 50 and the suit was a size 48. That was such an encouragement to me to keep going on. The staff is wonderful and is so encouraging. They are always looking for ways to make the program enjoyable.”

Bill

The personalized care makes all the difference. Staff works with individual needs—cravings, hunger, food preferences and food allergies. My husband and I are doing the program together with great success.

The staff here was great! I have lost 30 pounds so far. The snoring is gone. The heartburn is a thing of the past and my aches and pains are greatly decreased. I wish I had done this a year ago!

After 12 weeks on the program, my CRP inflammation number was cut in half. My blood pressure medication has been reduced to half of the dose it was, and I’m confident that I will be able to discontinue this medication in the near future.

“I began with Dr. Huber and his team in September 2013. After looking at summer vacation photos and wondering how did I get to be that big, something had to give. I began with a great deal of apprehension. I had failed Weight Watchers more times than I cared to admit. I could lose 20 pounds – but I needed to lose serious weight. At 244 pounds, I was fat, tired, having migraines, hot flashes, no energy for anything – and blaming a lot of it on myself and the fact that I was probably entering the beginning stages of menopause and there was nothing I could do about that. However, I had to do something – I was entirely too young to feel this tired and I certainly was not going to buy pants another size up.

As someone who was “addicted” to salty snacks – pretzels, crackers, cheese, buttery/salted popcorn, and who cooked meat and potato-type meals, I was not sure if this would work for me. However, it did and it does. I learned what I was eating was making me fat and ultimately, make me feel old and tired. The saying you are what you eat has really rung true with me. I cut out the junk and followed the program and the weight started coming off, and I started feeling better. A few weeks in, I started exercising using my Wii Fit. I could do that – low impact and it got me moving and motivated because my Mii character kept reminding me I was obese and sighed almost every time I stepped on the Wii board. By Thanksgiving, my migraines were all but gone, the hot flashes had stopped, and I was sleeping better than I had in months. Speaking of Thanksgiving...I cheated – my first real cheat day. I ate one plate of food and was stuffed. It had been years since I stopped at one plate on Thanksgiving. The best news, I still lost weight that week. I gave myself permission to have that day – enjoy with no guilt, but get back on the program the next day and keep going – and I did. I no longer call this a program, but a way of life. Do I indulge in any of the “forbiddens” – yes. However, I now know why I gained weight, what I need to eat to be healthy, and how to stay motivated. I have lost 70 pounds since September, and love how I feel.

As I said earlier, I had hot flashes, was tired, migraines, and no energy to do much of anything but sit and read at the end of the day. I was taking up to nine migraine pills over the course of 30 days – all I was allowed to have by insurance. Every month I had to have it refilled. Since these changes I made in September, I have refilled my prescription twice. The migraines I experience now are hormonal. I think they were made worse and more frequent because of the food I was eating. The hot flashes I experienced are not gone completely, but I am not waking up overheated and feeling suffocated. My snoring has all but stopped – for which my husband is grateful.

The best part of this experience – I have energy. I exercise at least four days a week. Nothing too hard, but enough to break a sweat and get my heart going, all in the comfort of my home or neighborhood. When I started exercising, I thought everything was going to hurt – my knees, hips, feet...After playing soccer for the better part of 20 years, my knees, and hips hurt. Once I changed my diet – the aches went away. That is the most amazing thing to me. What I was feeding myself was making me ache. I did not realize it until it was explained to me that what I was eating was making my joints ache and the change in diet has proved it.

A few weeks ago, we were watching AFV and there was a rather large woman in a ridiculous situation. I watched thinking that was me last year – and prayed to myself I was more graceful than the person I was watching. As if he was reading my mind, my son said, “I know why you lost all that weight – you didn’t want to become like that lady.” Bless him, because I was that lady. I am grateful to Penny Krebs for being my cheerleader and having faith in me throughout this change. She made it extremely easy and always was there with the answers. I have the tools to be successful to take a few more pounds off or at least maintain this weight and not go back to that fluffy lumpy person I still sometimes see in the mirror.
