Testimonials
Here are testimonials from some of Dr. Marcantel's
patients. Dr. Tina Marcantel is a naturopathic doctor practicing in Mesa,
Arizona, and serving the East Valley cities of Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, Apache Junction, Queen Creek, and
the greater Phoenix area.
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.

Dr. Marcantel helped tremendously in teaching me how to eat the kinds of foods that are the healthiest as well as the combination of proteins and carbs in order to watch my blood sugar so my triglycerides will lower. By following her diet plan I have lost most of my very strong cravings for highly sweet foods as well as lost 5 pounds in 6 weeks (even while taking anti-depressants). Also, Dr. Marcantel has helped me discover that my female hormones are estrogen dominant. Within the first two cycles taking bioidentical progesterone I have noticed a lot less facial and chest acne, some improvement with extremely tender breasts, a lot less blood clotting (resulting in less painful/less crampy periods) and a regulation of timing.
I’ve also found the website helpful. I especially enjoy the newsletters that come by e-mail. It gently reminds me to read up on info that concerns my condition.

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.

A few words about the good Dr. Marcantel from a most
happy fella: I came to her as an overweight, self-satisfied, middle-aged
male with diabetes. I was taking glipizide twice a day, and on the medication my
daily [fasting blood sugar] numbers hovered a little under 150. Within a month of
enrolling in Dr. Marcantel's program for diabetics I no longer needed
medication. My numbers without medication now hovered at 100 and below! (And my
primary care physician concurred.) The message is clear: if you're interested in
living a wholesome, drug-free life, listen to what Dr. Marcantel says. She's
changing my life for the better.
