Functional Health Testimonials

I had suffered from back pain for a lot of years and often relied on Morphine for pain relief. The amount of pills were increasing throughout the day to ease the pain, especially when I wanted to go out and walk the dogs. Within the NHS I had tried Physio and a TENs machine, but did not experience any improvements. When I began working with Jack through the Chronic Pain Pathway we started with the Bowen Technique.

I was amazed after just 3 sessions (3 weeks) and the difference it made. Now, I’m not taking any Morphine or pain medication as the back pain has been alleviated. Furthermore my overall movement, walking is enjoyable again and my sleep is much better.

When I first came across The Bowen Technique I was skeptical. How could something so non-invasive and subtle be of any use! Particularly as I had been in such a lot of back pain for about 6months. Yet – within a week my pain had reduced by 50% and after two sessions, for the first time in many months, I actually had days where I forgot about my back and leg pain ailments that had kept me from enjoying my life for so long.

After just four sessions I felt great – No pain, not even any stiffness. Apart from the treatment itself, the manner in which Jack delivered the sessions and the advice given makes this the best experience I’ve had of a health treatment by far. And believe me. I’ve tried everything!

I’ve been working with Jack for a few years and he’s helped me make significant improvements to my health. I decided to begin the program ago when I began to experience severe exhaustion and fatigue that didn’t improve with sleep or rest. It was a very frightening condition to be in and I was forced to stop working.

I went to many doctors and I did many tests, but no one had any idea as to what might be going on. Jack’s program offered hope for me in the form of a pathway to help my body heal. The process of healing has been a lengthy one, but I feel significantly better now.

I feel a great deal of it has to do with Jack’s ability to guide the healing process, which is something that regular doctors simply were unable to do. The health care system, at least in the US, is not designed to work in such a way. I’m grateful that I was able to find and work with Jack.

There are many great things about Jack’s approach. First, his guidance is not based on guessing – it’s based on running assessments to achieve insight on metabolic function. The added benefit of this approach is that the assessments can be repeated after a certain time to gauge if there’s been progress. These tests are incredibly detailed, and, I believe, significantly more thorough than many of the tests I could do with my regular doctor.

Also, Jack is very knowledgeable about human biochemistry and how metabolism works. I always thought that I knew a good deal about human metabolism, but Jack’s knowledge of how it can be optimized, is probably well beyond that of many other experts. Jack is also very thorough and patient with his explanations and he can go into as much detail as one likes. After having worked with Jack, I wish that the family doctors that I’ve had throughout my life were as knowledgeable, thorough, and meticulous as he’s been.

I am so very grateful for all your advice and reassurance over the months, helping me tremendously to feel much more confident in dealing with this metabolic disorder. After all these years of slow painful decline and concern it is so gratifying to be back in the control and feel and look better. My husband and many of my friends have noted a difference in my appearance too.

For many years my health issues were getting more serious – Abdominal Distention, Non alcoholic fatty liver disease, GastroIntestinal disorders, Weight Gain, Low Energy, Sleep Disorders, Low Morale and Aching Muscles and Joints.

Having a Nursing and Medical background I have sought help and treatment from NHS, Naturopaths, Acupuncturist and Homeopaths over the years. Finally in 2012 I felt so poorly, exhausted and in a lot of discomfort so my GP and various NHS Consultants ran testing including blood tests, Gastroscopies and Colonoscopies.

I received several diagnoses (antral gastritis, Non Functioning Gall Bladder, Diverticula) and an “inconclusive” outcome. So I began working with Jack Walton and Dave Hompes to develop a way forward and focused mainly on nutrition and functional medicine for gut healing.

At last I am able to sleep naturally for first time in 7-8 years. Energy levels are very good and muscle tone and aching joints have subsided. Abdominal distention has minimised greatly too. Although there is some ongoing work to do on the NAFLD and non functioning gall bladder, I am now in my late 70’s but feel much younger and able to enjoy a more energetic lifestyle.

The sheer ease and affordability of the home testing kits is a great benefit to working with Jack. At 59, although I considered myself in good health I started to notice a drop in my energy levels and I wanted to be preventative in my health. Through comprehensive testing and follow-up phone consultations with Jack, I was impressed by the precise information and answers to my many questions.

Even the protocols designed for me were easy to source and I did not have to leave my home for consultations, which is very valuable for me these days. I have achieved my goal of increased energy, with simple dietary changes, careful supplementation and an understanding of how to improve and sustain my health.

In early 2012 I was afraid to eat or even have a glass of water because of constant burping. I also had low energy, pain in the gut, feeling sick, wind, mood swings, often felt tearful and had poor quality sleep. In just a few months of working with Jack these symptoms were gone. We ran stool tests and other tests to eradicate several digestive infections, balance nutritional status and improve energy production.

One year later I feel symptom-free and to think that initially I was concerned I might be wasting my time and money (I am naturally suspicious by nature)! Jack has put me my life back on track and you can’t put a price on that.

Thank you Jack for all the help and support you have given me with my health. No matter how much knowledge you have it isn’t always easy to heal yourself! Jack has provided me with the tools and confidence to continue my healing journey. I have learnt to listen to my body and adjust my foods accordingly on the way to better health.

I really enjoyed working with you and finding new ways to deal with my health issues. It was a journey and I learnt a lot about alternative methods for wellbeing, especially in eradicating bad bugs and the impact on health. It was a lifestyle change to my everyday life. Thanks for all your help.

People have been amazed at the amount of weight I have lost and have all commented on how good I look, especially my skin. Despite my initial skepticism, it’s very clear that behind my “2lbs a week weight-loss” there’s a lot of science and expertise. It’s a programme like no other I’ve ever experienced.

For the last 10 years I had been treating a diagnosis of Osteopenia with Fosamax medications, but as it was still getting worse, my Endocrinologist wanted to increase the treatments. I consulted two specialists, but decided that I would prefer to avoid medications and the side effects where possible.

I worked with several practitioners, running various tests and applying steps like nutrition and supplementation. These all helped me make some general improvements, but then I started experiencing more Acid Reflux and one of my tests had identified an H pylori infection and yeast and fungal overgrowth.

That’s when my research brought me to the work that Jack Walton and Dave Hompes do. And most interestingly how the various health challenges and symptoms I was having could be linked in some way.

Part of my concern about H pylori was that it was contagious and how that could affect my family. So as part of the coaching support we ran tests to screen my husband, son, daughter and son-in-law. We live in Texas, so it was fantastic that we could access this type of functional lab testing via Jack.

My daughter’s test came back positive for H pylori and she had been ill for many years, since a child. So, whilst we both had quite different situations, symptoms and presentations, both my daughter, Meghan and I began working with Jack. There were some tricky adjustments to foods and some supplementation, but we worked hard to put everything in place.

The weekly support and coaching were an anchor that helped reassure us that we would be able to deal with this. I was quite alarmed at the beginning, but through conversation with Jack, was able to put my body’s health in a better perspective and deal with the findings as part of a larger goal. That lowered if not eliminated the stress of having the h. pylori and yeast and I gained confidence in dealing with and in trusting that I could influence my body’s health.

Given the situation I was expecting at least a year of treatment. Yet to our amazement after 3 months our retests showed both negative for H pylori and the yeast and fungal overgrowth and most of our symptoms were alleviated.

We are both very grateful for Jack’s help and it is with great appreciation that Meghan and I say ‘thank you Jack’.

We were planning on having a baby, but then found out that I was dealing with an H pylori Infection and had various other health challenges that would ideally be optimized first.

So we embarked on a support program with Jack to do this and hopefully solve my chest pain, irregular bowel movements, low appetite, weight fluctuations, PMS and low body temperature.

Well, to cut a longer story short – On completing the program I felt the best I have ever felt. Not only did we improve and eliminate most symptoms, but a few months later I became pregnant and now have given birth to a healthy baby girl!. Thank you Jack

1 year after completing her support program Brooke emailed me to say: Hi Jack. I am fantastic! Since speaking with you last I have become a qualified personal trainer and have never felt more alive and confident. The knowledge I was given/taught from yourself about nutrition/exercise and just the human body inspired me to want to help others.

I never want a single person out there to ever feel the way I did if I can help it. Thanks to you I can finally take on the world and finally start living again. I still have a long way to go and so much to learn.

I want as many people as possible to know you don’t just have to pop prescription pills to get better. More people need to be informed that food can be our medicine along with an active lifestyle. I am living proof of it 🙂

I have seen many doctors for my digestive and hormonal problems and sadly most weren’t able to help. I have to say that Jack’s Program is by far the best health program I’ve ever used. It has so many great ways to improve your health whether you have a medical condition or an average person looking to boost their health.

Thank You So Much.

I experienced 4 to 5 years of suffering from digestive issues with numerous terrible and suicidal like symptoms which accumulated and were worsening day by day. Throughout these years my doctor was convinced that I had lost my mind and was just over reacting about my health condition and he recommended that I should see a psychiatrist. To make long story short I changed 5 doctors in a period of 2 years and felt let down by all of them.

The despair of my well being made me feel like it’s too late for me as life itself was meaningless with my condition. Eventually, my last doctor did another blood work and he found H.pylori, he then prescribe antibiotics which didn’t sound like a good idea at all. After two courses of antibiotics it still didn’t feel like I was getting better and the doctor told me it was difficult to really know if the H pylori present.

After coming across the Jack Walton’s program I have made the biggest progress in my health condition and my overall health hasn’t just improved but I feel like I have surpassed my health goals and have reached the highest vitality since I can remember. If I could rate the program on a scale of 5 I would give it 5+ as this program really optimises your health. Thank You Jack

It has been a pleasure working with you. You really helped me find the tools to get better and maintain my health. I will continue to apply all the guidelines you shared as they have been very helpful. I can definitely recommend the program and especially working with you. Your patience and understanding made the conversation effortless and you always find ways to put things into perspective.

After a long history of stomach issues and taking omeprazole without relief, I decided to have a stool test. With Jack Walton as my advisor for several months my tests revealed several findings including poor digestion of carbohydrates and fats. The work we did on gluten sensitivity has made a great difference too.

Through nutrition and some supplementation and we alleviated the stomach issues. I have even lost some weight and found my energy level increase which is very important at 74 years of age to maintain an active lifestyle through sports, volunteering, gardening and more. I continue to follow and maintain the diet which reflected in my most recent bloodwork as having the best numbers yet. My thanks to Jack Walton for the great coaching job.

I was having trouble with my digestion, having suffered from diarrhea for over a year and was feeling pretty lousy. My health problems had ruined the family summer holiday and Christmas.

I consulted my medical practitioner who suggested a whole series of tests and one of the tests was for H Pylori, which came back positive. My GP wrote me a prescription for the Triple Antibiotic treatment which is the standard treatment offered by the NHS, but I decided to investigate an alternative method to look at my whole body and came across Jack Walton.

Jack and I worked together for around 5 months, but my digestive health improved within the first few days. We ran a gut function test and I followed his protocol of diet and lifestyle changes with some supplementation and my health was transformed! I had the best set of blood results in 20 years and felt great.

I would highly recommend Jack as a health practitioner to anyone and would definitely go back to him if I needed to.

My situation was desperate when I first started working with Jack Walton. I had been suffering from a list of symptoms for over a decade and had been to numerous Drs, specialists and alternative practitioners, costing me a fortune with no answers.

My Doctors told me I was an anxious young women and to go on anti-depressants, which I didn’t, but did have to take sleeping pills. I was also previously diagnosed by an alternative practitioner with adrenal fatigue which seemed to make sense as all my symptoms seemed to point to that, I had to give up sugar and caffeine which was awful as I’ve always had a sweet tooth and as I was always fatigued, needed my caffeine fix.

I did this for nearly two years and being me did it completely, no cheating. I was also put on a regular eating plan of every 3 hours lots of greens, brown grains, nuts and lean meat and oily fish. I did all this but still was suffering from all my symptoms. And my gut was getting worse. Bloating, wind and pain in my chest. One day I thought I was having a heart attack!

I had given up with the Drs, who had basically washed their hands of me. Then I came across Jack through my mum who had who had been really ill and had had some amazing results. I felt reluctant at first having spent so much money in the past with no results, but deep down it felt right.

Jack did tests and found stuff going on in my gut which were never picked up before even though I’d had similar tests previously. Jack coached me nutritional approach that was so different to what I had called a healthy diet I had before. There were great strategies around sugar, caffeine and beyond that alleviated the fatigue, tummy aches and jitters!

I had a weekly meeting with Jack for 3 months to guide me through my ups and downs, tweak my diet plans, along with supplements and gut restoration steps. Alongside changing lifestyle and approach to exercise.

The progress was steady and gradual. I was soon feeling better than I’d felt in years. My stomach was not bloating, with less pain and no wind. At last this embarrassing problem was going, my energy levels were rising, anxiety reducing and I was sleeping much better.

I think that everybody should work with Jack. You cannot put a price on your health!.

I was researching stomach problems because I was having a lot of them. Specifically acid reflux and I started to suspect H. Pylori.

At that moment I had visited every Doctor in my city, Barcelona and they just told me that I had some “genetic” tendency to have acid reflux and related problems. To me this was really lacking sense because I had never previously experienced the symptoms before.

It all started when I was racing cycling at a professional level. I was focused on the competitive weight loss goal and started to care less about my nutrition, severely restricting calorie intake.

This was a very bad decision and I started to get all kinds of illnesses that I’d never had before. When feeling so weak, the straw that seemed to break the camel’s back was some seafood poisoning traveling to Latin America. After that I never really recovered and the symptoms just increased.

Thankfully, on the coaching program I was taught about the importance of the food we put into our system, the nutrients, vitamins and minerals our body needs in order to repair. I also understood the ability to balance the nutrition alongside the exercise demands.

We made small changes every week. I started to cook my own food. My skills have improved and I enjoy cooking now. Jack was very supportive all the time and had a lot of patience with me, which I tremendously appreciate. Our relationship became like a coach-athlete, responding very fast to see the best change to keep achieving our goals.

Three weeks in and I had more energy. A surprised because it was the first time in years. I recovered my natural sleep cycle which I’d lost. From that point my wellbeing soared. I think this is the future of the medicine!

Jack, I want you to know how much I appreciate your program and all you have done for me.

One year ago, I had a dream opportunity to buy the business I was working in, but I was too weak and ill to be able to do that. Now, with your help and guidance and some hard work, I was able to trust my gut and jump when the opportunity came around again. I don’t know where I would be if I hadn’t found your program.

Let’s rewind. I had come across so much information on the internet, but couldn’t make sense or practical use of it. Your system laid it all out in such an organized, cohesive manner, that it made implementation easy and of course, having personal guidance made all the difference. I’m glad the initial program was for a few months as it gave me time to make sustainable changes, instead of just a passing protocol.

Now these methods are a part of my life, they are my foundation for health. You not only helped me to find health again, but gave me the power to be in control of my health again.

All the doctors I had worked with seemed to like to keep me in the dark and act as though only they could hold the keys to my health, but you shined the light on everything. I find it amusing that I had to get in touch with someone halfway across the world to help me…yay for modern technology! Because without it I would be stuck with the backwards way of “practicing medicine” in my rural area.

You have done more for me from thousands of miles away than any of the practitioners that I have seen in person. Jack, you were my rock. Thank you for getting me through this. For everything you have done for me and my health, I am truly, truly thankful.
