Testimonials
Here are testimonials from some of Dr. Marcantel's patients. Dr. Tina Marcantel is a naturopathic doctor practicing in Gilbert, Arizona, and serving the East Valley cities of Mesa, Chandler, Tempe, Apache Junction, Queen Creek, and the greater Phoenix area.
I am 19 years old, and I always used to be exhausted every day; I felt like I was “running on empty,” or like I was stuck in a rut and could not get out of it...I would wake up tired and I would stay that way all day, and I had to take naps every day or else I could not function...I also got sick a lot and my cycles were so unpredictable that I would sometimes get two in one month, along with very painful cramps...I was depressed a lot and I always had a constant feeling of being “down” and sad...I have always had extremely cold hands and feet...
I expressed some of these things I had been going through to Dr. Marcantel one day, and she suggested I get my blood tested for Hashimoto’s disease. It turns out that she was right on with the diagnosis; I do have Hashimoto’s disease. I did a hormone salivary test and those results showed that I was estrogen dominant. Since Dr. Marcantel has been treating me with the bio-identical hormones and Nature-Throid, my hands and feet don’t get cold at all anymore, my cycles are regulated and the cramping isn’t severe anymore, I am not nearly as emotional as I used to be, I wake up easier and feel more rested throughout the day, and I have much more energy...
I have heard many patients say that Dr. Marcantel has helped give them their lives back, or that they feel more like the “old them,” but I cannot say that… only because I have never felt this good, ever. This is a life that I have not experienced before; I have never had this much energy and have never felt this good.

I was having premenstrual symptoms and had been to several doctors that had no answers for hormonal relief–they said my estrogen was fine. I was also having weird allergy symptoms with each period. Dr. Marcantel's treatment gave me back my life! By working with me to balance hormones and adding a diet plan I feel like myself again. I've lost more that twenty pounds, am sleeping better, and have much of my old energy back. And my allergies disappeared! ...Dr. Marcantel has one of the most informative, thorough, and caring websites online. The articles and recipes alone are worth their weight in gold.

I was having a lot of joint and muscle pain, was having trouble sleeping, and by mid-afternoon I was exhausted. I'd also had a chronic yeast infection for about two years. Dr. Marcantel diagnosed me with an overgrowth of candida and put me on a special diet with supporting vitamins. Within the first week my muscle and joint pain were pretty much gone and the yeast infection is now completely gone. The services I have received have been above and beyond any medical services I have received in the past. The office staff is very friendly and Dr. Marcantel is passionate about her work.

I signed up for six weeks of nutritional monitoring and was amazed with the results. With a few changes to my diet and some additional supplements I was feeling better within a few weeks. My IBS was under control, I was sleeping better, 100% less stressed, and I lost 7 pounds to boot! ...Dr. Marcantel's calm and caring demeanor was a healing factor in itself. Such a refreshing experience after the harsh clinical treatment I was getting at traditional doctors' offices.

I did not take care of myself for a number of years as I was working full-time, going to school full-time, and raising my family. My health suffered and conventional medicine never addressed the root causes of what was going on. I needed someone who would work with me, one on one, and provide the answers I so desperately needed to heal my body...My whole life improved with Dr. Marcantel's help. I took back control of my body and I determined, with Dr. Marcantel's guidance, the most important issues that needed to be addressed. I have lost twenty-five pounds while increasing my bone mass by three percent. I have more energy than I have had in years. I think much clearer and have so much more knowledge of what is really healthy eating.
I am still working with Dr. Marcantel on my prediabetes and estrogen dominance and have already seen a significant improvement with my blood sugar numbers and my menopause symptoms. I sleep better than I ever have before and have not had a single hot flash in the last month. There are so many little things that Dr. Marcantel was able to change for me. The most important improvement was that she gave me the knowledge to fix what was truly wrong and not just address the symptoms.
I was very impressed with all the information she had available for the general public on her website. I could not wait to find out what other knowledge she would provide for her patients. I love trying out her recipes and my kids have fun making what we now call "Mommy's Surprise." The food boards that she made to go over during visits and the shopping lists she gave me were an invaluable part of my success.

I felt very frustrated and incapacitated because of not knowing how to deal with my diabetes. A friend told me about the excellent results she had experienced as a patient of Dr. Marcantel. Since starting with her program I feel more empowered by the information Dr. Marcantel has given me and in control of my diabetes. In 2 1/2 months my Hemoglobin A1C dropped from 6.4 to 5.9, my triglycerides from 371 to 183, and my cholesterol from 266 to 172! I've decreased my oral diabetic medication and I'm using natural supplements to lower my cholesterol. I visit her website regularly for information; I get the newsletter and use the recipes. I love the tips in the newsletters and on the website--vinegar water is great!

I was not receiving guidance from my clinic physician on specific methods to control and reduce the
effects of my diabetes, other than continuation of medication. I saw Dr. Marcantel's advertisement...She appeared to offer exactly the type of care I was looking for. My physical condition and my attitude towards my diabetes have improved dramatically with Dr. Marcantel's advice and guidance. My results of the initial 12 weeks of following her program:
Weight loss: 25+ pounds
Morning blood sugar readings reduced from a range of 188-232 to 99-126
After evening meal blood sugar readings reduced from a range of 87-212 to 82-124
Hemoglobin A1C reduced from 9.9 on to 7.4
Glucose reduced from a high of 255 to a high of 131
I feel that one of the very valuable aspects of Dr. Marcantel's services is the unhurried one-on-one consultations, indicating a high degree of interest in the patient's welfare...I am very appreciative of the care and advice I have received from Dr. Marcantel.

Having recently moved to Arizona from out of state, I was in search of a new physician. After some reading, I knew that I wanted to use a Naturopathic doctor for my health care needs. I found Dr. Marcantel's site on the internet and was attracted to her integrated approach to healthcare...There is no doubt that Dr. Marcantel has helped me. Not only did my cholesterol drop from 301 to 189, my LDL from 205 to 96 and my Cholesterol/HDL ratio from 5.9 to 4.5, but I lost 10 pounds--all in just under three months! She has shown me how the food I eat can actually help my body heal itself. Even though I may get off track occasionally, I am learning that just by making changes in my eating habits, using quality supplements, exercising "with sweat" AND keeping a journal, I am going down the right road...I am greatly encouraged by the progress I have made in such a short time. I am confident that I will see more great results in the near future.
