A Journey Towards Health with Dr. Schoombee at Authentic-U

I began my journey to better health on 19 June 2024, and the progress I’ve made in just five months has been truly life-changing. Dr. Schoombee has been an incredible guide throughout this process, offering thorough consultations every other week and patiently tracking my progress and overall health.

Thanks to her expert care, my mobility has significantly improved, my water retention is under control, my skin is smoother, and I sleep better. What truly stands out is how meticulous and personalized her approach has been. She conducted comprehensive blood tests, provided detailed analyses of what was wrong, and created a tailored treatment plan to address my needs.

Remarkably, she has achieved all this without prescribing any medicines, shakes, or unnatural chemicals. Instead, she has empowered me by guiding what I consume for food and drink, focusing on natural and sustainable changes.

I feel deeply grateful for her dedication and expertise. I’m excited to continue this journey with her, knowing I’m in the best possible hands.

“I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2011 and underwent a joint replacement in 2014 due to the rheumatoid arthritis. I was on chronic medication and had to use cortisone every ± 3 months to keep the inflammation under control. The medication kept my symptoms under control, but did not improve my symptoms. I was chronically tired, felt permanently unwell, and was always aware of my right hand (pain and swelling). Along with the medication, my weight gradually but steadily increased, and exercise was not possible because it triggered my inflammation. A colleague told me about Dr. Schoombie and the metabolic program she offers. I was at my wit’s end and was willing to try anything. Although I didn’t believe that you could heal yourself through food. I started the metabolic program in February 2024, and within 6 weeks I could already feel a huge difference. The swelling in my hand and joints drastically decreased, and I started feeling better overall. As a bonus, I have lost 9kg to date. Dr. Schoombie has supported and encouraged me by staying in contact weekly. I would recommend the program to anyone, whether you suffer from an autoimmune disease or are struggling to lose weight. I am not regretful even for one day. Since February, I haven’t needed any cortisone. The program has changed my life.”

“So, as many of you know, my wife Yolandi Palmer has endured many severe health issues over the past (almost) 2 years, many presenting as neurological symptoms, strokes, etc. whereby she would just “shut down”. These episodes became deeper and more frequent. Traumatic for her, me & our kiddies, multiple hospital admissions culminated in her having brain surgery in January of this year, which was “unsuccessful.” Many doctors tried several things. Multiple medications felt like all were grasping at straws, without success… As from May, she started a METABOLIC BALANCE LIFESTYLE change plan, under the primary care, guidance and coaching from Authentic-U Health and Lifestyle Enhancement Centre & Dr Felicity Schoombie. The body has been and is still healing itself. In just over 4 months, she has PRIMARILY made a remarkable turnaround with her health issues; feeling and looking like her old self. Best yet – me and our kiddies have their wife and mom back! You cannot put a price on that! And, SECONDARY to all this, she has also lost a whopping 16 kilograms! She has simultaneously launched her own business Rain Baking (MADE PERFECTLY UNIQUE), where she is the OWNER & the extraordinary BAKER!

Very embarrassed to post this but it keeps me motivated. Gone from end of 2021 98.8kg to now 75kg. Changed my life and fixing my body with food so it can function the way God made me. No medicine no wonder cure no starving myself. I have even gone off acetazolamide(a very terrible medication) Brain pressure is almost back to normal and no inflammation in my body. My inflammation count was 56% I still have another 10kg to go but I’m happy and healthy.

“One of the most important lessons in life I learned, is that money cannot buy health. Eight months ago, I was unhealthy, felt sick and tired most of the time. For a long time, I knew what to do, but did not have the courage to change my lifestyle. One morning I woke up and read the following and it put me on the path of healing and taking control of my own health. “Take care of your body, mind and soul. Give yourself 6 months to get into a habit of practicing self-care, self-love and self-knowledge. Stop scrolling, wake up earlier, get dressed up even though you’re not going anywhere, eat healthier, read more and exercise. This is your Only life on earth. Do what you can to love and enjoy every aspect of it. No more waiting. Be the person you’ve always wanted to be. This will not be like the other times. This time you will change. You will stick to habits, and you will see results. I believe in you” – author unknown. I knew about the Metabolic Balance Lifestyle plan and Dr Felicity Schoombie as I followed the lifestyle before with great results and I knew it is the only way to take control and regain my health. After my first visit to Dr Felicity during March this year, she told me that I am diabetic, my body was inflamed, and I am overweight. The only comfort I had was knowing that if I follow the metabolic balance plan that I could sidestep the Insulin-wolf and reclaim my health. Eight months down the line I am happy to share that I reclaimed my health and changed my lifestyle permanently. My blood glucose levels are under control without any insulin. I lost 15 kilograms, my body is not inflamed anymore, and my cancer markers came down significantly. I am in remission now for three years and since my chemo treatments, it is the first time that the cancer markers are so low.
