Today you’re going to learn how a patient lowered his blood sugar, triglycerides, and uric acid to normal in just one month, had more energy, less pain, and lost 16 pounds of excess weight.
My name is Dr. Tom Rofrano from the Natural Medicine Clinic in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, and I’m the author of the FreeDiet®. I’ve been blessed to have seen over 100,000 patient visits over the last 38 years, many involving gut and thyroid issues. This patient was one of them.
His Symptoms: Gut Issues, Pain & Metabolic Syndrome
A 66-year-old man with ulcerative colitis came in complaining of:
- Bloating
- Gas
- Heartburn
- Indigestion
- Cramping
- Back pain
- Joint pain
His pain was so severe that it was difficult for him to go outside for a walk.
Lab Testing Revealed Multiple Imbalances
His labs showed:
- High glucose
- High A1C
- High insulin
- High uric acid
- High C-reactive protein (inflammation)
- High triglycerides
- Low HDL
- Low testosterone
- Low DHEA
- Low cortisol
These are classic signs of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, which I find to be a primary driver of aging, obesity, high blood pressure, and inflammation.
Functional Testing Showed Additional Root Causes
- Vitamin D deficiency
- Other nutrient deficiencies
- Bacterial and yeast overgrowth
- Celiac genetics
- Gluten sensitivity
- Leaky gut
- Adrenal dysfunction
- Low testosterone
He had multiple underlying issues contributing to his symptoms and lab abnormalities.

After starting the FreeDiet® and targeted supplements, his follow-up labs showed dramatic improvements:
Markers That Returned to Normal

How He Did It
Step 1: The FreeDiet® — An Anti-Inflammatory Healing Diet
The FreeDiet® is a diet I developed years ago while healing my own Hashimoto’s autoimmune thyroid condition, rheumatoid arthritis, IBS, fatigue, skin issues, and other chronic health problems.
It is free of:
- Gluten
- Grains
- Sugar
- Yeast
- Dairy
- Eggs
- Soy
- Legumes
- Nightshades
- Processed foods
These foods are the most common triggers for inflammation, gut issues, thyroid dysfunction, and chronic health conditions.
I’ll include a link below for the FreeDiet® Phase 1 Food Chart.
Step 2: Targeted Supplements
Along with the diet, he took supplements tailored to his needs.
- Multivitamin
- Fish oil
- Magnesium
- Vitamin D with K
- Probiotic
Gut Support
Cardiovascular & Inflammation Support
Adrenal Support
Nutrient Repletion
This combination helped him heal his gut, reduce inflammation, balance hormones, and reverse metabolic dysfunction.
The Bottom Line
With the FreeDiet® and the right supplements, he was able to:
- Improve gut health
- Increase energy
- Reduce pain
- Normalize blood sugar, triglycerides, and uric acid
- Improve inflammation and hormone levels
- Lose 16 pounds
- Feel dramatically better
Your body has an amazing ability to heal itself. If you identify the root causes and are provided the right solutions, I believe almost anyone can get better.
