Santi shares his experience using Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to address several long-standing health concerns, including acid reflux, constipation, insomnia, low energy, and difficulty recovering after physical activity. For years, he considered having a bowel movement every three to four days and waking up multiple times during the night to be normal, without realizing these could be signs that something was out of balance.
After exploring Western medicine and working with a local herbalist without finding the results he was looking for, Santi discovered Dr. Alex Heyne and decided to try a personalized Traditional Chinese Medicine approach through telemedicine. During his consultation, Dr. Heyne looked beyond individual symptoms and asked questions about Santi’s broader health history and patterns.
After beginning customized herbal formulas, Santi noticed meaningful changes within the first several weeks. His bowel movements became more regular, going from every three to four days to approximately every two days. He also experienced less bloating and described feeling more relaxed in his digestive system. At the same time, his sleep began improving. Instead of waking multiple times a night and struggling to fall back asleep, he found himself waking less often and, eventually, having nights where he slept through.
