Dr. Shah was great. She has a very personable demeanor. Even online she could tell where I could benefit. She has a very calming voice and always listens and then promptly follows up. She followed up promptly with email and suggestions. I don’t take my medication as often. I am now down to taking it 4 times a week instead of 7. The diet has made a big difference in my GI system. I can feel the difference when I am away and have to eat outside. I feel calmer by working on myself more and taking care of my diet and health. Some of the supplements have helped my son who also has ADHD.
