Patient Testimonial: ADHD, PTSD, Stress, Anxiety, Binge Drinking and Infertility

“From a young age, I now realise binge drinking was used to relieve mental health symptoms, to destress or to fill bouts of boredom. Binge drinking in conjunction with ADHD symptoms including poor concentration, anxiety, overthinking, stress, self-doubt and impulsivity lead me to try different therapies and medications but to no avail. I decided to come off all medications and increase meditation and yoga practice. However, the symptoms and binge drinking were still ingrained. Jonny’s openness and professionalism from the initial discovery call confirmed that this was the direction I wanted to go in.

I had also been trying to conceive for nearly 2 years with tests showing no physical issues with myself or my partner. Jonny explained that my body likely knew that I wasn’t ready to conceive. He also advised that herbs have the potential to make us very fertile, and I should consider using contraception until the program was finished for my physical and mental health to be in the best condition for conceiving. I fully agreed.

At the beginning of the program, we discussed my childhood and potential traumas that could have led to the negative patterns of behavior and thinking. I was then started on a herbal tincture tailored to my symptoms. After just 2 weeks I could start to feel the difference. I felt more energetic, and less stressed. The tincture in conjunction with the therapy sessions allowed me to think clearer, recognise and rationalise negative thought patterns, leading to an overall increase of self-confidence and a decrease in anxiety and stress.

I was also trying to limit my drinking to once a month instead of drinking every time I was bored or stressed, etc.. I think I relapsed twice, although each time led to significant moments of reflection, recognising impulsive pattens of behavior. Gradually without really realising, I was drinking much less than what I would normally drink to the point I didn’t want to get “drunk”. That was a massive turn of events! I naturally wanted to find new ways of enjoying days off instead of just going to the pub.

Jonny has been amazing throughout this process. His open, honest and genuine approach to coaching made me feel instantly at ease. His passion and endless knowledge for the body, mind and herbs is second to none. This program has been an investment for my future wellbeing. I can’t thank Jonny enough and will continue to work with him whenever I feel I need any support.

Oh yeah, and I am pregnant! Xxxx”

This patient completed my 3 month Pattern Transformation package.

At the start of treatment this patient filled in my symptom questionnaire sheet. This asks patient’s to score their symptoms from 0-10 in terms of how debilitating they feel.

The patient scored 120 at the start of the program. Dropping to 33 at the end of the program. A decrease of 72.5%.

This patient’s binge drinking was difficult to control. ADHD, PTSD and ongoing problems with anxiety and mood were all probably impacting this patient’s ability to conceive, even though NHS testing showed no fertility issues. We went through a full case history that focused on childhood experiences and situations that involve patterns of excess drinking. A tailor made herbal prescription along with the coaching calls helped calm the patient, improve mood, stop drinking, increase energy and cognitive processes. Decision making and behavioural changes then became easier to implement. After a few months of treatment the patient conceived and is currently being supported through pregnancy with herbal treatment.

Patient Testimonial: Fatigue, Anxiety, Stress & Problems with Digestion

“I first came to Jonny after being told by a mental health organisation that I wasn’t severe enough for them to help me?? In my eyes I felt very let down as I felt I needed help, this is where Jonny stepped in, he delved deep & identified problems that I didn’t realise I needed help with & from the get go Jonny cared!! For my entire adult life I’ve never felt that from a GP, so not only did he help with my mental health he helped with my physical health along with some life coaching, & even in recent times has helped me fight off an infection with his herbal infection tincture, amazing, as I’m not a fan of taking pharmaceuticals & now have that alternative!! I highly recommend Jonny to those who are open minded enough to take a step into alternative health care. Contact Jonny & start your journey, you won’t be disappointed!! & to you Jonny a massive “thank you” for all you have done & continue to do to help me!!”

Trav (England - UK)

This patient completed my 3 month Pattern Transformation package.

At the start of treatment this patient filled in my symptom questionnaire sheet. This asks patient’s to score their symptoms from 0-10 in terms of how debilitating they feel.

The patient scored 88 at the start of the program. Dropping to 17 at the end of the program. A decrease of 80.7%.

Trav came to see me for help with fatigue, stress, anxiety and problems with his digestion. Herbal medicine was prescribed to help with his physical problems but we identified other areas of his life that needed attention. Particularly in relation to emotions, feelings and how the mind works. Trav made great progress and feels like a new man with a completely different perspective on life. His openness towards communication greatly improved as the treatment got to work.

Patient Testimonial: Stress, Depression, Menopause, Inflammation, Joint Pain, Anxiety, Memory Problems & Fatigue

“Having reached a point in my life where I was merely existing as one ball of inflammation and stress, with both my physical and mental health struggling to the point of not being able to get the basics done let alone any other kind of life, and having tried the modern medicine route to always come back to the same point, looking at Jonny’s website felt like the light at the end of the tunnel, and that was before I even contacted him to see whether he would work with me to try and fix myself. Luckily for me, after our initial interview, that light felt a lot nearer when Jonny said he was happy to work with me towards my recovery.

During those first weeks of treatment, Jonny prescribed a herbal prescription which made a huge difference to my physical health, but he also opened my eyes to the way I had been living my life up until then, and how my lifestyle was having a very negative effect on my physical and mental health. The whole process opened my eyes to what habits etc were not serving me, recommended tools and suggested possible new habits that I could use to improve my lifestyle, but mostly he made me aware that I needed to take stock of my life, change my habits forever and committing to constantly improving my way of life would be the only way of ensuring that I never go back to how I was. He suggested a “sleepy tea” that I could use when my middle-of-the-night-brain wouldn’t let me go back to sleep, as well as a “lung tea” that helps with my chronic respiratory issues. As the weeks passed, Jonny tweaked my prescription as various physical and mental elements changed with the treatment. Even though I was aware that herbs could help with different medical issues and had done so for centuries, I am now in awe of how powerful herbs are.

I know I still have work to do on myself, looking back to where I was 6 months ago I feel like I am well on my way. My close family are amazed at the “new” me and how much of a changed person I have become over the past few months. The inflammation has disappeared, my gut has improved significantly and so has my skin problems. I’m glad that I decided to invest in my own health in this way as it has been worth every penny. I now look at Jonny as my first point of contact when it comes to anything to do with my physical and mental health – he is a very educated and learned person, who has reached where he is today whilst fixing himself, and that gives me confidence in his advice and guidance.

I am grateful to Jonny for what he has done for me and I am grateful to myself for having the courage to reach out for his help, and for making myself a priority. Thank you Jonny – I hope you know how grateful I am to you for giving me back my life. Diolch”

Megan Allport (Wales - UK)

This patient completed my 3 month Pattern Transformation package.

At the start of treatment this patient filled in my symptom questionnaire sheet. This asks patient’s to score their symptoms from 0-10 in terms of how debilitating they feel.

The patient scored 88 at the start of the program. Dropping to 10 at the end of the program. A decrease of 88.6%.

Megan was severely exhausted, depressed, anxious and stressed. Her body was suffering inflammatory joint pains and her digestion was completely off balance. Our focus on treatment was not only providing herbs that calmed her stress response but giving her the tools and awareness as to how her life had become chaotic. Many of our calls included conversations about the behavioural dynamics of her life and how to properly untangle them so that she could live a more authentic way with far more balanced human interactions.

Patient Testimonial: Panic Attacks, Trauma, Stress and Gut Disturbance

“I connected with Jonny after spending over a year with debilitating panic attacks, high anxiety and endless ailments that included skin issues and digestive problems. After taking antibiotics during a time where I struggled with a major relationship ending, all hell seemed to break loose in my body. I was googling fixes hours on end, day after day. Finally I came across Jonny and his journey. Here was someone who knew what he was talking about and had his own life experiences. He understood what I was going through. He took time to understand my situation, so he could concoct not only his magical elixir, but to help me mentally as well with tools to improve my mental well being. Without Jonny I’d still be searching google endlessly looking for that supplement or magic pill that would fix what was ruining my life. Jonny is a life saver.”

Josh (Canada)

At the start of treatment Josh filled in my symptom questionnaire sheet. This asks patient’s to score their symptoms from 0-10 in terms of how debilitating they feel.

Josh scored 119 at the start of the program. Dropping to 60 at the end of the 4 months. A decrease of 49.6%.

Josh contacted me after reading a blog post about how I had been in a similar health situation many years ago. We agreed to move through a monthly treatment program, whilst figuring out the complexities and time involved with posting medicine to west Canada. We have so far made it through approximately 4 months of treatment with Josh noticing major differences not only in his physiological health but more importantly, his mind. Josh now feels more resilient and better equipped to face difficult like events and is always enquiring in our calls about how he can achieve even greater states of health. We have many more months of powerful work together.

Patient Testimonial: Hypothyroidism, Stress, Headaches, Anxiety & Depression

“I had been considering using a herbalist for some time when I stumbled across an article Jonny had written in a herb magazine. It was a case study which could have been written about me. I took it as a sign and got in touch.

I had been suffering with stress, anxiety and depression for years. I couldn’t remember ever having had a good nights sleep, I was having severe headaches several times a week, my memory was terrible which became a running joke at work. I was desperate to get better!
Jonny was completely open with me about what to expect and the costs etc. I am a single parent and this was a lot of money for me. I rationalised that I couldn’t put a price on my health and it’s an investment in my future. Besides that, I’d spent a lot more on counsellors in the past and had always fallen back into the same destructive cycles.

I was completely honest with Jonny, I gave him all the information I could think of to give him a clear view of my background and any symptoms I had, big or small. I started my treatment programme just before Christmas. I followed Jonny’s instructions to the letter, taking my tincture, teas and herbal baths. I began to slowly unwind from the inside. My sleep improved, I was calmer, more able to deal with difficult situations. My headaches have gone completely now, which is such a relief.

I was consumed with anxiety before I started my treatment, I felt I wasn’t coping with anything, I couldn’t take anything new on and the slightest things would make me so angry. People have always said to me ‘you’re so strong, I don’t know how you do it’. I have always just got on with life and done what’s needed to be done but inside I was dying.

Jonny has been amazing, he explains what’s happening in great detail. This made the experience more fulfilling. He sent me links to videos and articles to watch between sessions. He has always been available if I’ve had any questions. I can’t recommend this programme enough. If you decide to embark on this journey, open your heart and mind to the process and enjoy it, I certainly have.”

Meg (UK)

Meg signed up for the 3 month Pattern Transformation package after reading a case study of mine that was published in the Herb Society magazine.

At the start of the program Meg filled in my symptom questionnaire sheet. This asks patient’s to score their symptoms from 0-10 in terms of how debilitating they are.

Meg scored 118 at the start of the program. Dropping to 56 at the end of the 3 months. A decrease of 52.5%.

Recent bloodwork through her doctor showed her thyroid hormones are now back to normal.

Meg will still need treatment but we will now only need to speak once a month. I expect her score to further improve as the months and treatment continue to work.
