Today you’re going to learn how a patient lowered his uric acid, triglycerides, and CRP inflammation marker to normal in just eight weeks, had more energy, clearer skin, and dropped 10 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: Fatigue, Gut Issues, Skin Problems & Metabolic Syndrome
A 60-year-old man came in with:
- Fatigue
- Brain fog
- Abdominal bloating
- Significant excess weight
- Itchy skin and rashes
- Shortness of breath
He was also on medication for:
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Gout
Comprehensive Lab Testing Revealed Multiple Imbalances
His labs showed:
- High glucose
- High A1C
- High C-reactive protein (inflammation)
- High cholesterol
- High triglycerides
- High LDL
- Above-optimal liver enzymes
- High insulin
- High ferritin
- Low testosterone
These are classic signs of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, which often drive inflammation, weight gain, and chronic disease.
Functional Testing Identified Root Causes
He also had:
- Multiple nutrient deficiencies (magnesium, selenium, vitamin C, and others)
- High mercury levels
- Bacterial imbalance
- Candida yeast overgrowth
- Gluten sensitivity
- Leaky gut
- Additional food sensitivities
- Low DHEA and cortisol (adrenal dysfunction)
These underlying issues were contributing to his symptoms and lab abnormalities.
His Results After 8 Weeks
After starting the FreeDiet® and targeted supplements, he returned with dramatic improvements.
Symptoms That Improved
- Better gut function
- Clearer skin
- Improved breathing
- More energy
- Lower blood pressure
- Lost 10 pounds
Lab Improvements
His uric acid — which he could only get down to 6 on medication — dropped from 6.0 to 3.6, a 40% improvement.
Other markers that normalized:
- CRP (inflammation)
- Cholesterol
- Triglycerides (total cholesterol dropped 45 points)
- Liver enzymes
- Ferritin (dropped 51% to optimal levels)
Hormone levels also improved:
- DHEA
- Testosterone
He felt significantly better in just two months.
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 disease.
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
- Vitamin D with K
- Magnesium
- Probiotic
Gut Support
Inflammation & Cardiovascular 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
- Clear skin rashes
- Improve breathing
- Normalize uric acid, triglycerides, and CRP
- Improve blood pressure
- Lose 10 pounds
- Feel dramatically better
Your body has an incredible ability to heal itself. When you identify the root causes and provide the right solutions, I believe almost anyone can get better.
