Like many Dads, Michael was feeling absolutely BURNT OUT keeping up with the demands of a stressful job on top of daily life activities.
He says “When I came to Perfect by Design I was at a pretty low point. I had recently taken an unplanned break from a 20 year career due to burnout and fatigue. I was honestly uncertain about what was next and if I would be able to put the pieces back together.”
He was constantly exhausted, never felt rested, and was losing hope on feeling GOOD again. “My Nervous System was truly exhausted, sleep was suffering, I had low energy, difficulty focusing, had developed TMJ, was highly anxious, and didnt want to admit that I had become depressed due to a life that had become unmanageable. At the same time, the demands of my life due to family and career had never been higher.” When his daughter started care and started seeing huge improvements, he knew this was something he needed to try as well.
As Michael dove into his own chiropractic healing journey, the wins started to compound! He noticed better and more restful sleep, better moods, more energy, and the drive to start exercising again! “I knew it was working after a couple of weeks, but the results continue to improve as we worked through the multiple layers of my dysfunction. It’s taken me some time to accept that this path to healing takes months, not days”
Michael noticed that he started getting his energy levels back and didn’t feel like weekends were solely time to catch up on sleep anymore. He started running with some friends and is now running 7+ miles and improving his mile time quickly! He no longer feels constantly drained and run down by work and can finally enjoy what he’s working for again!
Michael says “I came to Perfect by Design for burnout, stress, and fatigue. I wasn’t expecting to see such meaningful growth and change in terms of my physical performance. My improvements on the functional / physical side have been staggering. Im running, lifting, and moving like I did 10+ years ago. Those changes have come quick and have been an incredible surprise. I have seen significant improvements in my nervous system and energy levels as well, but I honestly expect those changes to continue to come. Ive definitely gotten out of what was an emergency and feel like Im on a path to healing. The gains keep coming and coming to the office to see Dr. Paula and Dr. Pam is a highlight of my week.”
Overall, Michael is loving his new found energy and ability to be the best Dad, Husband, and Employee.
We are so proud of you, Michael!
