Mackenzie Jones Testimony

It all started over 15 years ago when I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. I remember laying in my dorm room so sick I could not even get out of bed by myself. I was prescribed 7 different medications and was placed on numerous antibiotics and opioids to help my pain, it was then I realized something needed to change. As a last resort, I decided to see a functional medicine doctor in Winston Salem, North Carolina. It was there that I learned I had been eating foods my body was sensitive to, as well as modified foods that were contributing to severe inflammation in my gut. After making some lifestyle changes, I saw such an improvement in my symptoms within just two weeks, feeling like a completely different person. It was at that moment I realized my life had changed direction, and had now discovered what I wanted to do with my future. Fast forward through countless nights of studying in nursing school and spending many hours in clinicals as a nurse practitioner student, followed by time practicing at a local urgent care and mental health clinic, I knew that it was time to finally step out to pursue my true calling. I felt God starting to nudge me in the fall of 2022 to dream of starting my own practice, little did I know it would come to fruition quicker than I could have imagined. He has been so faithful- providing me with a business plan, connecting me with mentors, and the support of so many people- it is more than I can even put into words.
