Engaging the help of VivaWise Functional Wellness is one of the best decisions I have made as I enter my seventieth year. Having read about health-enhancing efforts for years, I thought I had knowledgeably covered all the bases of good health. However, prolonged fatigue, new symptoms I could not understand and the issues of aging were sending me on a premature down-spiral. My outstanding physician had personally seen the effectiveness of the work of Katie Garrott, founder of Viva Wise Functional Wellness, and referred me to their center. Katie understood the underlying issues of the symptoms I listed. Her attention through enquiring discussion, objective tests and long-time experience has guided me to an entirely new and effective way to maximize my output. I have more energy; I've lost unnecessary weight (I had to buy a lot of smaller clothes!) I have strong self control; I can sleep soundly without any aids (Fitbit reading rarely gave me above 70 - now it is routinely 88) My nails are strong and hard - eyelashes stay in longer; Intestinal discomfort is gone. The counsellor who directly guided me through the program for these recent months, Megan Heitman, made the process very understandable. Her caring attentions have been compassionate, and empathetic while still exercising strong guidance born of knowledge and experience. The financial investment into my health through VivaWise has yielded results well worth the cost. I am most grateful to God for His kindness for this fresh and hopeful way continue to approach life in my seventies!

I found Vivawise after hearing Dr. Josh Axe say to find functional health specialists in your area to heal the gut, etc. and pinpoint your specific needs. I have been working with Teesa for the past few years and have been MORE than satisfied with her help, expertise, and heartfelt concern to see her patients step into wellness. She is ALWAYS kind and never fails to listen. I credit her with keeping me on the path to wellness and have learned so much from her during our sessions. I tell people she is my "functional health angel" because working with her and implementing her wisdom into my life through supplements, exercise, and stress management has kept me on the minimal dosage for rheumatoid arthritis. I absolutely trust what she says because she has never steered me wrong and the results are undeniable. She rescued me when I could not keep food down and it felt like my life and health were taking a turn for the worst. Teesa is the BEST of the best and I 100 percent recommend Vivawise! God bless them!

Teesa is a GIFT to my family. I started seeing her when I developed Type I- an autoimmune disease- my very first. She helped me dial in meals and micro-nutrition through lab testing. After a few months, she insisted I test my house for mold. I was hesitant, but her logic made sense. A few weeks later, we found FOUR TYPES of toxic mold. Without Teesa, our family would have stayed sick and I would have continued to develop auto-immune diseases. I am SO THANKFUL for her. God put her in our lives... She is kind, compassionate, and only recommends evidence based practices. I cannot recommend ViviaWise Functional Wellness more highly. Thank you Katie and Lauren and Teesa! Some things I really appreciate: They don't want to keep you on supplements for ever. Quick to get your body where it needs to be, and then drop things!

I recommend VivaWise to anyone seeking root causes and natural remedies for a medical diagnosis, a chronic issue or a simple wellness check who is also willing to commit to lifestyle or dietary changes. VivaWise can help navigate you to optimal health through an individualized plan backed by science. I was directed to VivaWise in a quest to address osteoporosis. Based on blood work and personal history, my nutrient and activity deficiencies were identified and then addressed with targeted supplements, exercise, an anti-inflammatory meal plan and gut healing. Over the course of seven months, I lost 20 pounds and am now maintaining a bone and gut healthy diet with regular exercise. My overall blood work is back on track, and my energy and sleep have also improved. Although I achieved my initial goals, I will continue my health journey with VivaWise. All of the VivaWise team is pleasant, knowledgeable and encouraging. Working with them is the first step in reclaiming your health. Don't delay!

Very professional, knowledgeable and affirming! I appreciate the intentional and personalized approach Katie and Megan put into coaching me according to what I wanted to accomplish as well as what my lab result numbers were showing. The online calls have been tremendous for scheduling reasons and the information has been so enlightening. I also love that they focus on natural, healthy means of getting the body and gut right! My energy has been up through the roof! My focus at work and home have been sustained throughout even long, hard days. I have slept better, had less pain and felt so much better throughout the day. I saw remarkable improvements in my blood labs especially in my cholesterol, triglycerides and DHEA numbers! My underlying philosophy: We can either let ourselves go...not eat well, not sleep well, live a sedentary lifestyle and sooner or later, we'll have to spend tons of money on insurance, doctors and prescriptions which typically treat the symptoms and not the cause (reactionary) - OR - we can spend money and time now with empathetic coaches who help guide us with knowledge and encouragement to make lifestyle choices that help us not just get healthy and stay healthy...but to enjoy life to the maximum! If you value your health and well being, I HIGHLY recommend working with Vivawise to get you on a path to a better, healthier life!
