I went to the HealthPlex approximately 8 months ago feeling absolutely defeated with my health status at that time. I had been recently diagnosed with a rare inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) and was in constant pain and misery (due to the many IBD symptoms) because of it. Through the help of the healthplex’s approach I’ve been able to regain the normalcy in my life back. Through learning about diet and exercise through the HealthPlex – I have been able to fully control my symptoms and then alleviate other symptoms which I though were just a normal part of aging and chronic problems (such as joint pain, fatigue, hormonal swings and chronic sinus inflammation).
The program has indeed changed my life for the better! All of the staff members have been helpful, take the time to listen and have assisted me every step of the way. I enjoy the zoom calls on the maitenance plan that i am on - because it always gives me new information and i have the oppurtunity to ask any ongoing questions that i have; as i continue this health journey.
I eat better, feel better, sleep better, my hormones feel so much more balanced out, I’m less stressed, I’ve lost weight (in a healthy way), I don’t crave for junk food/sugar anymore. I would 10/10 recommend anyone suffering from issues stemming from inflammation to seek help from the HealthPlex! They can’t do it for you – but they can certainly give you the tools to do it for yourself! Thank you for giving me my life back HealthPlex! 😊

This program has taught me so much about myself. I have learned that I do have the will power to make positive changes in my health. I am only about 6 weeks or so in and have lost 7 pounds, bloating and heartburn is gone, joint pain has improved and I just feel so much better. I am thriving because of the accountability and support from the people at the Healthplex! I am so pleased!
***Update... I am over 2 months in to this program now and could not be happier! I feel great, I have lost about 9 pounds, I am having zero inflammation issues, my gut feels great, my skin/complexion has improved so much. I am bouncing back better after workouts and my heart rate during those hard intense workouts does not go nearly as high as it once did. I owe the Healthplex all my success! If you are on the fence about this, get off thay fence and do it!! Totally worth it!

Jan 2024, my A1C was 9.1, was handed a prescription for Metformin and Ozempic (already taking bp and cholesterol meds). I had to come to terms with myself. I filled the Metformin but refused to fill the Ozempic prescription. Googling A1C, Diabetes and Metformin brought a plethora of information popping up on my google feed and facebook. One video on my FB page from The Healthplex caught my attention. Dr. Fern was putting into perspective that I can reverse my diabetes. I joined the free webinar and was very impressed by everything he was saying. Searched BBB and any feedback/reviews about The Healthplex before I decided to take this further. I could not find anything bad or even remotely negative about Dr. Fern or The Healthplex. I set up the free 15 min one on one with a member of The Healthplex to see if their program would be a good fit for my condition. Next step, scheduled a hour one on one with Dr. Fern (cost involved). Was advised my family members should also attend as this is a life changing event I will be going through. My husband and I listened to Dr. Fern, asked a bunch of questions and agreed to sign me up. Yes, one of my questions was, how is this going to work with me in Ohio and The Healthplex in West Virginia. Hint, it works out just fine.
Yes, I cried the night before my program started. How am I going to do this? I’ve never been good with diets before, what makes me think this program is going to work. But this is not a diet, it is a life change.
It wasn’t “stop eating all the wrong stuff on day one”. It was slow eliminations, made things a lot easier (in my opinion), supplements sent to me to help get my body where it needs to be and group sessions throughout the week where we ask questions, get additional information and learn from others. The group sessions helped so much. Yes, there are others out there going through the same as you. It may not seem like the group sessions help but they really do.
Here I am, my 6 month program is over and let me tell you where am currently: A1C dropped to 5.9, my cholesterol numbers are in normal range, all my other numbers have improved (not all in normal range yet but working on it) and weight is down 50lbs. I no longer have inflammation in my body. Even my complexion is better and no longer have heartburn. My doctor lowered my bp meds and hopefully under my doctor's care, I can soon go off the metformin, cholesterol and bp meds all together.
I did sign up for the maintenance program and have access to all the group sessions, all my criteria, weekly modules we were sent, recipes and the links to useful/helpful information.
If I tell you, “if I could do it, you can too”, please believe me.

Where do I even begin? My health started declining rapidly in January this year, and despite multiple visits to my primary care physician, I wasn’t getting the help I needed. My symptoms were severe—chronic diarrhea up to 8 times a day, constant stomach pain, facial numbness, heart palpitations, daily panic attacks, blurry vision, and much more. My PCP kept attributing everything to anxiety, increasing my medications, and even prescribing schizophrenia medication as an anxiety treatment. But nothing improved; in fact, it only got worse. It felt like my entire life was spiraling out of control.
Desperate for a solution, I did my own research and found The Healthplex in May. From the very first call with Dr. Fern, I finally felt a sense of hope. He listened to me, validated my concerns, and assured me that their program could help. What truly impressed me was the thoroughness of the lab work they conducted—it was far more detailed than anything my PCP or even the hospital had ever done.
Now, four months into the program, I can genuinely say it was the best health decision I’ve ever made. My life has completely turned around. I’m finally sleeping through the night, I’ve lost 20 pounds, and my gut is healed. The panic attacks have stopped, my vision is clear, and I’ve regained my energy and focus. Remarkably, I’ve also been able to stop all my previous medications, including two blood pressure medications and the anxiety medication.
The support from The Healthplex team has been incredible. They were always there for me, checking in regularly and guiding me through every step of the program. I never felt alone on this journey, and their kindness and dedication made all the difference. I also learned so much about what truly works for my body. I always thought I was eating healthy, but this program showed me how to tailor my diet specifically to my needs.
I can’t emphasize enough how satisfied I am with this experience. The personalized approach, the support, and the life-changing results have exceeded all my expectations. I wholeheartedly give The Healthplex a 10 out of 10 and would gladly go through this program again. It has given me my life back.

It is with great enthusiasm and gratitude that I submit this five-star review for the Functional Medicine Lifestyle Program at The Healthplex. I chose to embark on my six month lifestyle program to address some chronic health challenges and prevent familial heart disease and diabetes. It was time for me to get some help addressing root causes of issues and prevention rather than to wait and treat symptoms later when ill. The return on investment (of time and money) has been priceless. Significant health improvements, weight loss, identification of food sensitivities, improved sleep, wellbeing, energy, and hope for continued progress make all the hard work worth it. The program is solid and the amount of support that is offered through the written curriculum, weekly group videos, archived videos, and individual consults is amazing. The staff are genuinely invested in the clients; they truly care about your progress. Thanks to this program and the wonderful people at The Healthplex, I have tools that I will use the rest of my life. If you are on the fence about participating in the program, don’t hesitate- invest in yourself!
