Weird, that is (almost) all I have to say about these people! I googled something like...does anxiety cause pain, or holistic approach to pain and somehow found these guys. I just happened to call two hours before they give this monthly lunch and learn. Well, I rushed to make it on time, which I did, and sat down for what I thought was going to be the answers to my many problems with pain due to stress. First of all, when I pay for someone to help me for a specific ailment, I want someone who knows what they are doing. When I got there, the presentation was more about weight loss and healthy living, yet the nutritionalist did not look healthy at all. Matter of fact, none of them looked healthy, except the doctor. And she was overweight too! Of the 10ish people that attended, I was the only one who fell for it. I stayed behind and began the initial paperwork. The deal was...you have to sign a contract. The cost of part of this five week program was $2595. For five or six weeks. You are supposed to eat like 500 calories a day and take about $250 worth of supplements that are NOT included in this deal. Wait, its not a deal. Its a high pressure, we just want your money, we really dont care about you, scam. I was told to go home and fill out the paperwork as soon as possible. Its not paperwork like normal doctors want. Like medical history. They dont care about that. They wanted me to hurry home and sign the contract. When I started filling out the paperwork AS SOON AS I WALKED IN THE DOOR, I began answering the questions. Then I came to the part where the supplements were no included, so I decided to call and ask how much they were so I could see if I could afford it. Kim, the nutritionalist, called me back and said, "I had twenty calls in front of you, but I decided to call you back because you need to get your paperwork in as soon as possible." That was the second time she told me that. She kept telling me to hurry and that everyone is waiting on me. I was doing it as fast as I could! But, I had that ONE question!! I told her that I would NOT sign it until she answered my question. Then she said her family pay about $350 per month on supplements. Ok. I was fine with that answer. Then she said, "Are you going to keep your appointment, or what?" OMG!! She started raising her voice at me, so I started raising me voice at her saying, Im doing it RIGHT NOW. As FAST as I can! She then said, "Well, Ill just tell everyone to WAIT!" By that point, I was starting to get frustrated. I said, "I came here to get help with anxiety and your causing me MORE anxiety!" She AGAIN told me that normally, they have two weeks to plan for an appointment and since I came in spur of the moment we have to rush! Seems like this place is about place is about money, not healing people. There was a lady there who was doing this for one week and she did not seem like she was happy. The doctor needs more bling! Perfect teeth, shiny jewelry. When she was speaking, she kept saying, "Myself included." Referring to her bad habits that she was telling us not to do. Plus, I read one review that once you join, you never work with the doctor! Only the rude nutritionalist who has no problem raising her voice at you as if you were less of a person. I was the only one who stayed behind! Was it because my name was Martinez????? Was she rude because she is white and my last name is beneath her. Thats how I felt. This place was not for me. Well, it WAS, until Kim pounded it into my head that if I want to have the privilege of working with her, I have to bow down and take her abuse. Later Kim! Tell your boss that you ran me off, because I had the money, I had the desire, I was hurrying, but just not fast enough. You blew it! Ps. I told me friend about this. Shes from Utah. She went to a doctor in Utah and was presented with the SAME deal. Talked about yeast, or candida. My friend fell for it. Did the program, it did not work. She paid the exact same amount! Weird.

WOW! I thought I was in great health and shape , little did I know that I needed to make some changes. I thought by working out and being an athlete all of my life I was in better shape than most. The misconception is no matter how much you work out if you do not have good nutrition you are getting very little benefit. It turns out I had a yeast overgrowth problem. I did the yeast overgrowth protocol while even running the woodlands marathon and ran a personal best time. My experience with the team, Nancy the nutrition expert and Dr. McManus exceeded my expectations. I recently had my follow up and had outstanding numbers in all categories.I highly recommend Dr. McManus to anyone who wants live a long life and be healthy . I look forward to my continued relationship.

I totally agree with Stephanie. Had virtually the same experience. Its all about the money with these guys. They never return your calls or respond to emails. If you want to be yelled at and berated, you can certainly find a cheaper place for that! My advice is to stay away. Theyre not there to heal you, just saying...
