Dr. Orimenko turned my health around and brought back a quality of life I hadnt experienced in several years. My health journey has been a long one; almost four years of going to conventional doctors, specialists, nutritionists and doing lots of research on my own, after completely giving up on conventional options. Western medicine had no answers, and tossed me around like a ping-pong ball. I got poked and prodded for years with no answers to be found. If it had not been for finding Dr. Orimenko, I would still be suffering. I was able to celebrate my 40th birthday this year having reached my goal of feeling healthy! I cant recommend Dr. Orimenko enough. While his approaches may seem unconventional, they worked for me. He took the time to figure out what was right for me. If youre sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, or just want to be the best you can be, make an appointment with Dr. Orimenko! He and his wife, Traci, truly care about you and your health. Below is my backstory, so you can understand the magnitude of what Dr. Orimenko did for me, and why Im so grateful. Right after Christmas 2012, I started to feel really run down. Right before New Years Eve, I could feel something big coming on. I thought I had the flu for about a week. And then it got worse. I finally made my way to my doctor at the time, and he laughed and delivered the diagnosis of mono, strep and an ear infection, all at the same time. He put me on an antibiotic for the strep and ear infection and I spent the next few weeks in bed. I figured that after a few months of lying low, my mono would run its course and Id be back to normal, but normal never returned. I thought mono permanently ruined me. Mind you, I was only 36 years old when all this started happening. I was exhausted and weak all the time. Walking up a flight of stairs would leave me winded, and I didnt have enough hand strength to open most packages or jars. My hair started to fall out all over my head. I had muscle twitches all over in my hands, arms and legs. All my joints hurt, especially my hips and fingers. I kept getting sick, with terrible colds that would wipe me out for weeks. I felt depressed and angry. I was doing everything I could think to feel better, including adopting the Autoimmune Paleo diet and taking anti-viral and anti-inflammatory supplements. I had my first appointment with Dr. Orimenko In October. During my first visit, the doctor spent a lot of time with me, really getting to the heart of the problem. He finally asked me if I had been on any antibiotics in the last few years. I told him, yes, back when I had mono and strep in 2013, and that I had never been the same since. I always thought it was the mono that caused all my lingering problems; Come to find out, it was the antibiotics! Even though I thought I had done the right things since taking the antibiotics, by taking quality probiotics every day for years, it wasnt enough. With most of my good bacteria killed off by the antibiotic, yeast (candida) took over and wreaked havoc on my system. Dr. Orimenko said he thought I had candida overgrowth, or gut dysbiosis. I decided to take his suggested protocol for dysbiosis and make the necessary dietary changes. By the end of October, a little over two weeks into the protocol, I felt like a new person. I had energy and strength, my mood improved, my muscle twitches and joint pain disappeared, my skin improved, my digestion was perfect, and I felt the best I had since 2012! I felt so great that I joined a gym in November, and started working out with a personal trainer and doing things I never thought possible, even before getting sick! Friends and family said that if they had not seen the before and after personally, they never would have believed my transformation. Its been a little over six months since I first met with Dr. Orimenko, and I still feel great. My hair is growing back, and my symptoms have not returned. This past winter was the first time I didnt get a cold that I can ever remember, which is amazing!

Live Well Holistic Health Center was an oasis in the middle of a storm for me! After months of frustrating discussions, tests and search for a diagnosis with main stream medical doctors (that left me feeling at my wits end with a lot of scripts but no real healing plan), Dr. Orimenko provided me not only with diagnosis and healing plan, but reassurance that healing my body the natural way is capable AND worth dedicating myself to. Originally, Dr. O was recommended to me by a friend who said working with Dr. O will be like nothing youre used to, but have an open mind! He worked wonders with me!. It has been almost a month and a half, and with his guidance I have found a supplement and dietary plan that supports healing of my digestive issues, as well as beneficial work on a pinched nerve in my back. I am feeling better than I have in years AND I feel confident that listening to my gut (no pun intended) about healing with supplements and diet instead of prescription meds was the right choice for me! I am so thankful to have found this dynamic husband and wife team to guide and support me in good health!

Western medicine just isnt cutting it for my anymore. I became frustrated with each visit with one of my specialists, "well lets try this, lets add that prescription, lets remove your thyroid, I would like to see you back in a month". My health in the past 13-15 years has been slowly declining and each visit to a doctor led me to yet another medication, another procedure, another specialist. I knew I had to take charge of my own health and be my own advocate. Im not against western medicine, but for me it was time I sought out other avenues to heal my body from the inside out. Something was off inside and I felt like bandaids were just being placed over my ailments instead of getting to the root cause. I was ready and very opened minded about trying the holistic approach. I have spent numerous hours researching holistic medicine and wondering if it is a right fit for me. I kept going back to the Live Well website and knew I had to give it a shot. I have seen Dr. Orimenko three times already and I havent felt this energetic, healthy and good in over a decade.

Extremely impressed with the results in improving my overall health Review: I started going to Dr. Orimenko about 6 months ago. I had various health complaints including headaches, overweight, joint stiffness, acid reflux and sciatica issues. I can say that in the time that I have been seeing Dr. Orimenko and with his approach I have improved on all fronts. I have had headaches my entire life and have tried many different treatments from acupuncture to traditional treatments and I have been headache free for 5 months now!! I also no longer need to take the omeprezole for acid reflux, have lost over 40 pounds, have reduced joint stiffness and my sciatica has not flared up in months!! I must say that Dr. Orimenkos holistic approach to my health has given me phenomenal results. I would highly recommend that anyone who has health complaints go to see what Dr. Orimenko can do to improve your condition.
