At one of the most confusing, difficult times in my life Dr. Eric Potter brought the hope and answers I needed. When we first met and he opened our appointment with prayer I knew I had found the perfect doctor for me. He was empathetic and listened carefully to every symptom I was feeling. He was devoted to digging deeper and finding the root cause to whatever was causing the problems I was facing.

Dr. Potter provided a 15-page wellness program and an over hour-long phone call thoroughly explaining the complicated diagnosis of MTHFR and other various genetic SNPs. He was attentive and answered every question I had. I am most appreciative that the wellness plan was not a “one-size-fits-all” protocol. He tailored it specifically to my issues and was devoted to restoring balance to my body naturally. For example, instead of jumping to prescribing thyroid medicine to treat my low hormones levels, he advised to take the necessary steps to restore hormone production naturally, and it worked. Now, a year later I am feeling better than I ever have. When I first met with him I was eating a very limited diet, probably under 20 safe foods, and now I am eating so many I can’t even count.

I am living a normal life without any symptoms I used to have, like excessive fatigue, joint pain, digestive issues, irregular and painful menstruation, food intolerances, and for that I am forever grateful.

I feel as though I finally have answers to problems that have troubled me from a young age that
were just overlooked. I have never had this thorough of information and test results that prove
actual problems and not just being a hypochondriac. No doubt that Sanctuary Functional Medicine has been an answer to many prayers and will continue to be a blessing. So grateful for the doctors, nurses, and support here.

“Sanctuary has been a different experience for me, but a good one. I had been looking for answers for 6 years before I found Dr. Potter. I have to drive 2 hours to get to his office and I am happy to do so. Dr. Potter listens to my entire story and writes everything down to evaluate what is going on. It isn’t a quick 15 minute appoint and here are your meds. I feel him and his team care about my health. My recovery has been slow, but the gains I have seen with my health are worth it. Symptoms that have been with me for years are going away. I forgot what it was like having a healthy body. One huge recovery is my Raynaud Syndrome symptoms are gone. First time I haven’t lost feeling in my fingers or toes in 7 years! I can’t wait to see how my journey to recovery unfolds.”

I am very thankful to have come so far in my healing journey. I was just thinking this morning that I no longer have that overwhelming feeling of fatigue when I first wake up. You, your knowledge, protocol, and staff have been and are such a blessing to me (and my family). To have a doctor and staff who pray over their patients and seek God’s wisdom is a blessing that I do not take lightly. Brings to mind the verse from Philippians – “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you.” I am still praying for you, your family, and staff. Even on those not so great days – I am encouraged that God has a plan and that He walks with us through these faith stretching times in which we live. Blessings
