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, and this patient—a 70-year-old man—was no exception.
His Symptoms: Years of Sinus, Gut, Skin & Energy Problems
This patient came in with:
- Indigestion
- Heartburn and reflux
- Bloating and constipation
- Asthma since his teenage years
- Frequent steroid and antibiotic use
- Chronic sinus congestion and allergies
- Fatigue and brain fog
- Eczema
- Very thin skin from long-term steroid use
He was also on medications for:
- High cholesterol
- Enlarged prostate
He was feeling miserable and stuck in a cycle of inflammation and medication.
Comprehensive Testing Revealed the Root Causes
After running a full evaluation and lab testing, we uncovered several underlying issues.
Inflammation & Metabolic Imbalance
- High CRP (inflammation marker)
- High A1C (pre-diabetes)
- Above-optimal insulin
- High ferritin (insulin resistance marker)
Nutrient Deficiencies
Low levels of:
- Vitamin K2
- Selenium
- Glutathione
- B vitamins
- Zinc
- Calcium
Food Reactions
- Gluten sensitivity
- Leaky gut
- Additional food allergies and sensitivities
Infections
- Candida yeast overgrowth
- Bacterial overgrowth in the intestines
Hormonal Imbalance
- Low DHEA
- Low cortisol
These root causes explained his chronic inflammation, sinus issues, skin problems, fatigue, and digestive symptoms.
His Results After 3 Months
After following an anti-inflammatory diet and targeted supplements, his improvements were dramatic.
Symptoms That Cleared Up

He had been on sinus/allergy medication for many years — and was now completely off it.

Lab Improvements
Markers of inflammation and insulin resistance improved to optimal levels:
- Insulin

His testosterone also increased over 250 points.
His hip and back pain improved as well.
And he was off all his medications.
The FreeDiet®: The Anti-Inflammatory Diet That Helped Him Heal
The diet I put him on is called the FreeDiet®, which I created years ago while healing my own autoimmune Hashimoto’s thyroid condition, rheumatoid arthritis, IBS, fatigue, skin issues, and other chronic health problems.
The FreeDiet® 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.
Targeted Supplements That Supported His Recovery
Along with the diet, he took supplements tailored to his needs.
Functional Five Supplements
- Multivitamin
- Fish oil
- Vitamin D with K
- Magnesium with calcium
- Strong probiotic
Gut Support
Inflammation Support
Allergy Support
Nutrient Repletion
Adrenal Support
This combination helped him heal his gut, reduce inflammation, balance hormones, and restore his energy.
The Bottom Line
By healing his gut and addressing the root causes of inflammation, he was able to:
- Clear chronic sinus issues
- Improve eczema and skin health
- Resolve digestive symptoms
- Increase energy
- Reduce pain
- Normalize lab markers
- Lose 18 pounds
- Get off all medications
If you’re suffering from chronic gut, thyroid, or other health issues, identifying the root causes and using the right solutions can make a dramatic difference. With this, I believe almost anyone can get better.
