Everybody has a story.

Before seeing Dr. Filippini, in general,
​ I just did not feel well. I felt green, like Fiona on Shrek: big, lumbering and foggy. Food didn't taste good, my brain wasn't working well, I had no energy and I've had digestive issues my whole adult life. The regular doctors said I was fine. I went to an endocrinologist and they put me on a hormone patch and thyroid meds but I felt worse and my hair started falling out. I think the biggest thing I received from Dr. Filippini's program is the support and willingness to keep looking at all possible angles to find out what was wrong with me. I thought I was going to have to retire before starting the program but I made it through 5 more years! My brain works better, hot flashes and heart burn have diminished significantly, I've lost and continue to lose weight and my Cardiologist says I don't need to see him any more. Carey H. - Tracy, CA
When I first started coming in I was experiencing intestinal problems along with extreme fatigue and irritability. I felt like my thyroid medication wasn't working and I had brain fog constantly due to my hypothyroidism. I went to my regular MD at Kaiser but they did not find that I had parasites and an autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's. I also found I had Celiac disease and gluten intolerance. It was a vicious domino effect that almost destroyed my health. Dr. Filippini was able to correct my intestinal infection and heal my adrenals which were really low. I feel like a new person. My hormones are balanced, my brain fog has improved, I am more relaxed, focused and happier. Christine M. - Manteca, CA
The reason I came to Abundant Life Health & Wellness is Psoriatic arthritis, depression, fibromyalgia, I was very overweight, body aches, pains and sleep problems. I was also on the prescription drug Prednisone for over one and a half years. I finally broke down after taking too many prescriptions and took a biologic injection for inflammation. My results were treating my leaky gut and in the first 6 weeks I had lost 12 pounds. I have come off all of my prescriptions for arthritis, inflammation, anti-depressants, hormones and steroids. I sleep better and feel better. I have lost an additional 28 pounds in 40 days. I now have the energy to exercise and am looking forward to the new me. Debbie M. - Stockton, CA
What didn't I see Dr. Filippini for? Chronic fatigue, brain fog, slow metabolism and intestinal/constipation issues. I had been to too many doctors in my young adulthood and all they did was give me experimental drugs that helped but never fixed my problems. My symptoms would get worse and I would have new problems. Then I would see specialists who told me nothing was wrong with me. Thank God I found Dr. Filippini! I am no longer constipated, I don't crash after every meal, I don't have brain fog any more, my metabolism is speeding up and I have lost over 20 pounds. The infections and parasites that were found in my testing were eliminated. Tests showed I was pre-diabetic and the doctor helped me reverse that. But the biggest thing was saving me from not knowing WHY I was feeling the way I did. Which was the worst part of my illness. Angie C. - Concord, CA
I had severe rheumatoid arthritis symptoms, fibromyalgia, joint pain and neuropathy in my feet. I had seen two different arthritis doctors that only gave me medications that I decided not to take because the side effects were worse then my symptoms. I learned that my autoimmune disease was caused by certain foods I was eating and that I had compressed discs causing my pain. Dr. Filippini used spinal decompression and my pain in my neck is  gone and the neuropathy in my feet is completely healed! Ardis W. - Merced, CA
I recently received a job offer that is physically demanding and I had to get in the best physical shape of my life. Nothing I had done on my own was working. I wasn't seeing results and I wasn't putting on muscle or losing weight. I needed someone with more knowledge than me to put all the pieces of the puzzle together. The results with Dr. Filippini have been phenominal! I've already lost 30 + pounds, my sleep has gotten better, I feel fantastic. I enjoy food in a way I never knew I could. The knowledge I received from this program has been invaluable. Bobbie P. - Stockton, CA 
​I initially came into the office because        I wanted to do a full body detox, lose 15-20 pounds, address some skin issues and get checked for other issues I might not be aware of. My results have been great. I am very pleased with the results of my program. The detox has cleaned me up and my weight loss was even better then my initial goal. I have lost 27 pounds so far. Allen M.  - Stockton, CA
"Prior to coming to Abundant Life I
​had stomach issues, fatigue, headaches, weight gain, nausea and many more related symptoms. I also had ovarian cysts and heart problems. I did many tests, saw many specialists and took many medications but nothing worked. After seeing Dr. Filippini, I no longer have stomach issues, I have lost a total of 20 pounds (and kept it off), I have tons of energy, ovarian cysts are gone and my heart condition is under control." Amy W. - Elk Grove, CA 
I initially came to the office for
​chronic fatigue, joint pain, insomnia, diabetes, high blood pressure & an overall feeling of sickness. Traditional medicine did nothing for me other than send me home with new medications. I had taken medications for 15 years with no improvement. I tried detoxes and self treating but results were always short lived. After seeing Dr. Filippini, I am enjoying an energy level that I had not expected. My flare-ups from ulcerative colitis have greatly improved. My high blood pressure and diabetes are under control and I am off all medications. Anna R. - Stockton, CA
I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, fibromyalgia, scoliosis and chronic fatigue. I also had some severe viruses. With the pain, fatigue and always being sick, it was hard to even get out of bed. I had tried trigger point injections, I.V. therapy every month, endless and different medications, shots every week, many different exercises and unusual therapies, massages every week and changed my diet about 6 times. After seeing Dr. Filippini, not only is my pain gone and my energy levels up tremendously, I can also play sports again! I can do all the things I missed out on for 4 years such as long vacations, sports, being able to physically go to school and just daily activities I was unable to do. Dr. Filippini helped make my dream come true! I thought my dream was crushed when I wasn't able to play softball, but it turns out my dream was just put on hold. Thanks to Dr. Filippini I will be playing again at a high level! Deseree J. - Modesto, CA
I initially came to the office because
​ I had horrible foot pain from peripheral neuropathy. After Dr. Filippini ran his tests he found that I had some other issues that were contributing to my pain. Before coming to Dr. Filippini I had only gone to my MD who just gave me medications that didn't help much. After running his tests, Dr. Filippini found that I had thyroid problems and Lyme's disease. In following his protocols, I feel so much better now. My neuropathy is under control. From a 10+ pain level down to a 3. I have gotten clean of the Lyme's, my brain fog is gone and feel much clearer and less forgetful. I tell everyone about Dr. Filippini. I hope that I can get the help for someone else that I have found here. Thank you is not enough. Gina W. - Manteca, CA
I initially came to the office out of curiosity to see if Dr. Filippini could help me become healthier in my body and actions. I had tried exercising and working out as often as I could before coming to Abundant Life but I was not getting the results that I wanted. I was losing some weight but it wasn't enough for the effort I was putting in. Since coming to Dr. Filippini I have lost 50 pounds. My hormones have begun working the way they should and I feel confident in my body and it's capabilities once more. Holly K. - Modesto, CA
I Initially came into the office
to get off of my medications for depression, trouble sleeping and arthritis.  I also wanted to lose weight and live the next 30 years of my life better then the last 30. Before coming to see Dr. Filippini I had only tried medications. They worked but I didn't want to be exposed to the side effects. After coming to see Dr. Filippini I have lost all the weight I wanted to and it has stayed off! I'm no longer on any of my medications and I have found the friendship and support that I needed. Janice H. - Manteca, CA
I initially came to Dr. Filippini because I was in so much pain that I couldn't stand straight and I wanted to get off of my medications. I've been retired for 2 years and I wanted to take up my old habits of health and wellness. I joined Dr. Filippini and his professional crew. Not only can I stand straight up and down now, but I also threw away my depression meds and back pills. I'm going to make 60 the new 40! John A. - Lathrop, CA
The reason I came to
Abundant Life Health & Wellness was because I had out of control diabetes and thyroid problems. My Endocrinologist tried so many medications to control my diabetes but nothing worked. My results have been outstanding! When I came to the office​, Dr. Filippini conducted an extensive "whole person" examination to determine the root cause of my problems. From the exam and diagnostic work, he and his professional staff were able to provide the necessary treatment to control my glucose levels. When I started the program, my fasting glucose levels were between 180-200. After only 2 months my reading dropped between 79 and 100. Lem P. - Manteca, CA
I initially started this
program to lose weight. I had tried so many diets before: Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Atkins, South Beach and the newest medically watched, Belviq. More than starving myself with these diets, I was becoming mentally and emotionally unstable. I was starting to think I was a blown up Santa. I had lost 33 pounds before but I was at the gym 7 days a week for 3 hours a day. I was so tired! I had discovered something more with this program, the results that I received following this program were way beyond what I had expected. I found the miracle of me. Me on no more diets! This program shows you new ways to eat and care for yourself. You can't ask for better service from the staff as they will laugh and cry with you. Lena D. - French Camp, CA
I initially came to Dr. Filippini because I had migraines, aches and pain and low energy. I had tried dieting and exercising, hypnosis, acupuncture, herbs and various programs. I would make some progress but knew that something was still missing. Since coming to Dr. Filippini, my aches and pains have diminished, my energy has increased and I sleep better. His detox program has taught me that I do have great will power over my food choices and that I can say no to the things that are bad for my body, mind and overall health. My personal trainer tells me that I have better balance and better endurance and that I have made more progress in these last few months than in the preceding year we worked together. Linda G. - Oakdale, CA​
I came to Dr. Filippini because I was constantly tired, always had swollen glands, couldn't lose weight and I just felt sick. I had gone to every type of doctor and ran all of their tests, only to be told there was nothing wrong with me. They put me on all sorts of medications but nothing worked.  The first result that I had, was that someone finally listened. Dr. Filippini ran the proper tests on me and found that I had Leukemia. Through all the diets, treatments and supplements he gave me I have more energy, I have lost all my weight, my Oncologist has told me my cancer is completely gone and I finally feel like I have my health back! I can't stop thinking of all they have done for me. They're family! Liz W. - Ripon, CA
The reason I came to see Dr. Filippini
was because I was having a lot of pain in my neck, arms, shoulders, hips, knees and back. I was also fatigued and tired all the time. After a few visits to my MD, he diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia. By that time, I had already tried several medications. Eight months passed and I was still in pain. Nothing seemed to help and I was starting to deal with all of the side-effects of the medications. The results I have received from Dr. Filippini's program have been incredible. I feel so much better now. My energy levels are up and I don't feel fatigued. The pain in my body has greatly diminished. I am able to do so many physical activities that I wasn't able to do before coming into the office. Maria S. - Stockton, CA
Over the past 6-9 months I have had numerous issues with my autoimmune condition. My MD's solution was to put me on a permanent regimen of pain medication. This was unacceptable and led me to Abundant Life. The results have been dramatic, my overall health is much better. Dr. Filippini, his sons and his staff are very professional and effective in what they do. They are full of integrity, which is indeed rare in today's world. Robert R. - Manteca, CA  
I initially came to Abundant Life
​Health & Wellness because I kept gaining weight, despite diets and exercise. I developed an autoimmune disease that spread to my wrists, ankles, arms and back as a rash. I had no energy, aches and pains in my joints, my cholesterol was through the roof and doctors kept wanting me on Statin Drugs which only made me feel worse. I had tried karate and lost 60 pounds but it quickly came back. I tried weight watchers but gained all the weight back when I stopped. I tried exercise but didn't have the energy to continue. When my husband heard about Dr. Filippini we thought this was my only hope of finding out what was wrong with me. Since starting with Dr. Filippini I have lost over 30 pounds and it has stayed off. But what's better is that I know how to now. The education I have received at Abundant Life is priceless. I even have a medical background and couldn't put it together myself. My autoimmune disease has disappeared and I have so much energy. I even got rid of my sweet tooth which I thought I would never do. Sharon A. - Turlock, CA
I was eating properly and exercising
​and still not feeling like I was healthy. I had fatigue, moodiness, brain fog, lethargy, knee swelling, water retention, weight loss resistance and much more. I was doing nutrition and exercise protocols through other natural health doctors, too many supplements to mention. I thought I was doing everything right. After seeing Dr. Filippini I now have mental clarity, energy, muscle gain, fat loss, no more knee problems and a lot more understanding and knowledge regarding health, nutrition and proper supplementation. I feel alive and human for the first time in 10 years!! I love this "family" practice and all they have done for me and my family as a result. Sherri Z. - Tracy, CA
After a year of being in constant pain, barely being able to eat, and traditional medicine making me worse, I knew I had to try something different. I had been to my primary care doctor, Gastroenterologist, a GI surgeon, Allergist and Acupunturist. The Acupunturist gave me some relief but none of the other doctors helped me at all. The pills they had me try were making me worse. After treating with Dr. Filippini and running the proper tests, I learned about my food allergies and did a proper elimination diet and now I can eat again pain free. Rediscovering a joy for food again was just the beginning. My headaches have drastically improved, my knee pain has diminished for the first time in 16 years. I made it an entire school year without getting a sinus infection, I sleep better at night and I have more energy. I have never been to a doctors office where they treat you like family and like a whole person before coming to Abundant Life. Sheryl P. Manteca, CA
I initially came to Abundant Life
Health & Wellness because I was having problems with low energy and being tired all of the time. I had high cholesterol and blood sugar problems - being a diabetic. I tried several diets, I would go to my MD, I would get medications for my diabetes and cholesterol but nothing was helping. When I first started at Abundant Life, I came in with pneumonia. I had decided to use the in-office treatments instead of taking medications and antibiotics and it cleared up within a weeks time! I feel like I have most of my energy back. My preliminary blood tests are much better and I am feeling more confident about my health and future. Steve K. - Manteca, CA
I read a book for low thyroid and
adrenal dysfunction, which led me to Dr. Filippini. I had brain fog which caused mental confusion, lack of concentration and poor memory. I had no energy and I lost all motivation for things I once enjoyed. I was on thyroid meds, used supplements and did diet programs, yet I continued to decline and my weight kept going up. After treating with Dr. Filippini, I have much more energy and no longer need a daily nap. I exercise 4-5 times per week, my focus and memory is much better, I have lost weight and have a road map I believe I can follow, which is ever more important. Carrie C. - Fresno, CA
After attending one of Dr. Filippini's seminars, I realized this was a program for better health. Not only for weight loss but for mental, emotional and physiological well being. Like most people, I have tried fad diets, medical diets, medications, exercising, therapies, etc.. Although they worked, nothing was long term With the diets, the weight would always come back, which increased the need for more medications and therapies. During my initial phase of treatment I learned what my body needed to improve my well-being. My glucose levels improved and I was able to get off of 2 of my prescription medications. During the first WEEK of my weight loss portion of my program I lost 15 pounds. I wasn't hungry, I slept well and I was able to be more physically active then I had been in over 2 years. My energy has improved and my overall outlook on life has improved. Karen B. - Manteca, CA 
I initially came to Dr. Filippini's office because I couldn't sleep, I was gaining weight and I just generally felt bad. ​I had tried everything! Every diet I went on would cause me to lose weight but I couldn't maintain the loss and I would eventually gain the weight back plus some. Nothing I tried helped with my insomnia. After going through Dr. Filippini's program I feel great!!! I am finally sleeping again! I'm losing weight. More then that, I am learning new eating habits that I feel will allow me to maintain for the rest of my life. Loretta D. - Oakdale, CA
