For over 8 years, I experienced debilitating migraines (at least 1-2) on a weekly basis. I consulted with different physicians on the issue and always got the same response - ""we can put you on meds - you'll have to take them every day as a preventative measure.""\r
\r
In my first consultation with Max, he asked of my lifestyle habits and assessed the state of my muscles. He immediately suggested that if I simply drank ""x"" amount of water, with a bit of unprocessed sea salt added to it, that alone would significantly improve my condition. A bit peculiar (the salt bit) but before I even had the chance to ask why, he delved into the science behind it and what instantaneous changes I could expect to see in my bodily functions that would demonstrate the science was correct.\r
\r
In addition, he recommended that I make some simple changes to my eating habits (e.g., eat particular types of starches and sugars, switch to organic meats and vegetables, etc.). Again, he took the time to explain in great detail why these two measures would make a difference.\r
\r
I have been following Max's advice for two months now and have not had a migraine since! To declare that his advice was ""life changing"" is an understatement (fellow migraine sufferers would understand). I've reclaimed many days of my life that would have otherwise been spent in bed in pain and I've been spared from enduring medications with their own suite of unbearble side effects.\r
\r
What I'd like to emphasise is what impressed me most about Max that is often hard to come across with other professionals in his field:\r
\r
1- His breadth and depth of knowledge on these issues: I could ask him ""why"" to any of his recommendations and he can give me a concrete, evidence-based answer on how the body functions, how we know when the body is not performing to its best ability and very specifically, how can we know when the proposed corrective measures are actually working.\r
\r
2- His genuine demeanor to readily assist: he happily spent his time and energy offering counselling and it was quite clear he has a passion for health that he wishes to inspire in others too.
Pros: knowledgeable about and dedicated to health & wellness
