Real Results From People Who Found Their Answers

"Before I began the program, I felt completely lost alone with no hope in sight. After implementing the majority of the program I felt a significant amount of improvement in my energy, sleep, and anxiety. This program gave me a sense of feeling understood and gave me hope for a better future."

- Deb S.

"I have done many of the teachings in this program but never at the same time and they were not as thorough. To have consistent availability to the team and the chat with those who are going through the same thing was so important to me. The supplements were new to me and the first time I have taken them. I have also learned so much about Epstein-Barr that I did not know before."

- Betty B.

"I have worked with two functional medicine doctors prior to this team. This has been the only group of doctors that have ever truly fought for me, dug for me, and most importantly, guided and taught me better mindset and healthy lifestyle choices. Thank you to the entire team for giving me hope for the first time in over a decade. You guys all rock!"

- Sara

"I had a great experience working with Journey to Wellness for a number of reasons, but since I live in a rural area, it was so valuable to me being able to have appointments virtually. By offering their services along with a wealth of resources, I’m feeling better than I have in 12 years and I feel more equipped to take control of my health for a lifetime of wellness."

- Erica J.

"Dr. Pearce changed my life. This is not an exaggeration. I was diagnosed with thyroid disease in my early 20s. I spent all of my 20s being told by doctors that my levels were fine and the rest was up to me. Thanks to Dr. Pearce and Journey to Wellness, I was able to balance my hormones and get to the root of my issues. I felt like a new person within a month of integrating their lifestyle changes based on thorough test results. After 5 months, I became pregnant after my body started to heal. This had not been possible before. If you are tired of doing everything right (eating clean and exercising) but are still unable to feel better and manage weight gain, this should be the last step on your road to recovery."

- Jodie M.

"I began my weight loss and healing journey with Dr. Pearce and Journey to Wellness with great reservations and very little hope. To say I was a skeptic was a large understatement! Though I desperately longed for weight loss, health, and healing, disappointing and unsuccessful results w/ previous well meaning holistic doctors, had left me w/ little faith that anyone could help me. Many years of searching and a significant amount of money and effort, never seemed to produce the promised results each new doctor tried to convince me of. After months of talking with Dr Pearce, his knowledge and advice convinced me to try again w/ the renewed hope that “this time would be different “… though I had heard that statement many times before! I am so happy to share that things are different! Dr Pearce and Journey to Wellness has markedly helped my health, healing and weight loss more in the 3 months I’ve been working with them, then any of my past experiences! I am far from being done with my program, but I have so much more energy, inflammation is almost completely gone, I can move so much easier, the pain in my joints is gone, and I have been able to loose weight, which I haven’t been able to do in a long time! I am now much more hopeful about the future and am looking forward to what each new phase of healing will bring as I continue to work w/ the doctors and staff at JTW!! I am grateful for the patience and understanding that the entire staff has shown w/ me as my unbelief and disappointment has slowly faded and turned to hope and excitement about what my future holds. Dr Pearce and Dr Stacey have both been there any time I have had questions or concerns and are happy to answer and take time for me. They explain things in a way understand. Amanda the nutritionist, is a true pleasure to work with and a wealth of nutritional knowledge. I love their videos as well. They do a wonderful job of explaining each new phase and expectation for each new month. Plus I can rewatch them again and again if I need to. Take it from someone who has “been there” and “done that”, this program works! I am so thankful God directed me to them."

- Joette K.

"I have spent the last year and a half exhausting myself trying to find answers and ways to help myself. Trying to find doctors that really were genuine, listened and didn't shame you has been hard. I have found that the doctors I have seen either wanted to tell me I have anxiety or hand me a script for the symptoms without wanting to figure out the trigger. When you are left to feel like it's all up to you to help yourself, that's overwhelming and heavy.

Just want to say thank you... you all have been the light in a tunnel I didn't think I was going see a way out of. I am so thankful I have some kind of a plan to make moves and with hope create the strongest, healthiest version of myself yet. I finally don't feel so alone."

- Shannon C.

"My main symptoms were unexplained anxiety, chronic dizziness, and brain fog for over a decade. My early antigen has always been above 150, but no one ever really thought I could either get it down or calm the virus down.

I feel SO much better. My feelings of anxiety are gone and my dizziness and brain fog have improved!

This program stands out from the others because it has actual steps to follow, an amazing supplement routine, and HOPE.

I am so glad I did this program. I learned so much!!"

- Stephanie W.

"I wasn’t sure I would ever find answers to my decades long health issues.

Not knowing my many health issues were all related to EBV, I have gone through years of treatments for these conditions, which really didn’t make me feel any better.

I now know the steps that I need to take to continue to feel better. And I definitely feel I now have hope, which I have never felt before now.

I was so glad to have found this program, right at the time I needed it."

- Jody K.

"This program was much more comprehensive than other programs I have tried. I have tried diet on its own, meditation on its own, and so many supplements. I have tried food elimination plans. This program brought it all together and I could see the whole picture of the virus so much better. I have a much better idea of what is going on and how to help myself get over flares faster.

This program is worth the cost. It was very informative and long enough to get a good start and feel improvement. Now I will continue to make the things in it into long-term habits."

- Erica W.

"I am thankful to have found ways to control the damage of EBV. After 4 weeks I am blown away by how much more energy I have. I was unaware of the impact nutrition and food sensitivities played in the healing process. The benefit of mindfulness has been life changing for me

In 4 short weeks, Journey to Wellness has been life altering for me. I have hope that complete healing will take place. More importantly, I have resources to help me stay on track through the process. I do not have to figure it out on my own. I am truly thankful and I have just begun."

- Toni D.

"This team comes from a completely different mindset/ angle than I’ve ever seen - FIND ROOT CAUSES and address them! This foundational principle of their practice makes so much sense when you’re dealing with chronic health issues. They don’t just push testing and supplements. Rather, they help you to understand what your test results mean in YOUR OWN BODY and how to get healthier overall, sometimes with the aid of supplementation, but always with the support of nutrition and mindset. Every team member is perfectly suited to their role - health coach, mindset coach, nutritionist, patient support, fitness coach, holistic practitioners, etc. - and their team synergy is amazing to see. Journey to Wellness, Drs. Shannyn, Justin and Stacey, Amanda, Jessica - each of them really do care about your wellness in EVERY aspect. I appreciate the support and care I received from this whole team."

- Raylene W.

"I’m grateful for this program and this team. I’m still scratching the surface on my healing journey but I’m just so extremely grateful to finally be heard. The acknowledgment that I was right when I would tell Dr after Dr that “something is not working right in my body” and they would all reply with “this is just the new you, accept it” in itself is huge. But this team… they truly care and they truly want to help you heal and live your best life. What an amazing gift!"

- Sonja K.

"I learned a lot through this journey. The testing that is offered actually tests what needs to be tested! There is a good support system and you never feel like you are doing this alone. I have more energy, feel and look better, and have more knowledge about health in general after Journey to Wellness. The doctors were great at listening and working with me, and the nutritionist was super helpful and possessed a wealth of information!"

- Sara M. 

"First of all, I just want to thank everyone at Journey to Wellness for your help, support and knowledge. I was already on my own journey to health, but had so many unanswered questions. From doctor to doctor, it was: more pills, more hormone creams, “it’s in your head,” “eat this or don’t eat that.” What an exhausting few years that was looking for answers. So blessed to find Journey to Wellness. It was just so simple - let’s find out how the fire got started, then let’s put it out, one step at a time. I have so much more energy and I feel great! Losing weight and learning to listen to my own body are a huge benefit. All I can say is it was a great experience, and I know what path to follow from this point forward."

- Gina H. 

"Everyone at Journey to Wellness has been great to work with. The knowledge that the docs and Amanda bring make all the difference. You are supported and encouraged throughout the program, not only by the amazing docs and the nutritionist, but by the online community. I have loved the mind/body approach as well. They know that to truly heal, you need to not only work on your body, but your mind as well. I would not hesitate to recommend Journey to Wellness to anyone looking to better their life and health."

- Tiffany G. 

"I’m so thankful I took the leap and went on this journey. I finally got answers and steps to go forward. I’ve lost almost 30 pounds and couldn’t be happier with the direction I’m headed."

- Angela B. 

"Thankful for Dr. Justin and his team! I have my life back again. With multiple autoimmune diseases all my adult life it took over a year to heal and start feeling healthy again. I never thought it was possible, but was willing to do anything. I can’t say enough about the support Dr. Justin and his team gave me to keep pushing on when the results didn’t happen as fast as I wanted. My goal was to have more energy for my wife and kids. I’m very thankful for where I am today."

- Bryan T.

"With caring guidance from Dr. Shannyn and Amanda, I have reconditioned my body. Thank you for your encouragement and it is certainly motivation to stay the course and continue on this journey! Please do not give up even when you have setbacks!"

- Beth

"My body has been so difficult since I started this journey with you and your team, but what I love is that you all keep trying to find what will help me. I’m not made to feel like it’s my fault things aren’t working like I have in the past with other doctors. I appreciate all that you do and for helping me find what will work for me!"

- Hannah F. 

"For the first time (maybe ever) I feel like the root causes have been identified. I’m not just being thrown a bunch of random supplements. WE aren’t trying to tackle everything at once, the issues have been prioritized and put into place. Having to cut out dairy, whey and other food allergens has been a challenge at times, but I have so many resources and professionals within Journey to Wellness that I can go to them with questions. I have been to other holistic practitioners and never felt like we 100% got to the bottom of things. 10/10 cannot recommend highly enough! I can’t wait for follow-up labs because I’m feeling so much better."

- Leah B., Fitness Specialist for women over 40 

"I have asked my doctors for a number of years for help with labs or whatever with maybe my hormones. I was struggling. I hit menopause and gained weight, no matter what I did, ate, didn’t eat, I couldn’t lose anything. I was depressed. I feel lousy. My joints ached. My stomach was a mess. I had been on TikTok and listened to lots of women say the same thing but no real solution that sounded right. Then I found Dr. Shannyn and not only did she say all those things but she said there were labs that could show what was going on and help remedy things. The Dutch test. I had something to research. I could pay for it with my HSA. I felt soooo heard!!! I was ALL in. Jessica, Amanda, Dr. Stacey and Dr. Justin have just been so great. Dr. Shannyn is so wonderful with all her information and experience. I found a way to eat that would decrease the inflammation that was causing so much distress in my body and along the way I lost 65 pounds. I did this for me, to feel better and the consequences are fabulous. I am happier. My joints don’t ache. I am coming off meds I no longer need. This is a lifelong choice I am delighted to have found. Greatest decision in a long time. I choose me."

- Jenn E.

"Thank you Journey to Wellness! The whole team is amazing. They listened and helped me heal. They continue to support my healthy changes and are there when I need them. I highly recommend Journey to Wellness to anyone who needs to make a healthy change and who wants better for themselves. They are the best!"

- Melanie D.

"I have been on a health journey for a long time. I used functional docs and supplements thinking I was doing the right thing instead of taking meds.  But the supplements didn't get to my root cause they just changed the numbers and I believe some of them contributed to my root causes.  (I seem to have many).  Journey to wellness testing will uncover many things.  I have a long list, inflammation,  infection,  parasites, low immune function, ebv virus and mold. Dr. Justin said that is about all there is to uncover. I will remain committed to clear up all these things and feel better!!"

- Kim E.

"I still have a lot I am managing and trying to figure out but I have been able to eliminate a medication used for muscle tightness and nerve pain since I’ve been able to manage my MS symptoms through targeting my inflammation. As a result of my initial few months, I was able to lose 10lb, balance my hormones, reduce inflammation, and actually feel like myself again. I have hope. I still have my issues but my quality of life has improved tremendously through balanced hormones and reduced inflammation. I overall feel better and feel myself!"

- Twyla B.

"Greatly improved energy, being able to calm my system through all the great training and meditation learned. Improved sleep, and overall better sense of well-being. The help of the Drs and this program has given me back my energy and motivation to get my life back. I’ve been given the tools to fight through the complications that I haven't been able to succeed at through my different functional medical doctors."

- Tina G.

"Getting my life back! I know that sounds so extreme, but it is so true. I had been struggling for over 3 years with no signs of ever getting better, no solutions, and no relief from the symptoms that had been controlling my life. Everyone in my house was being affected by "mystery symptoms" that I now know were caused from EBV.  My 13 year old daughter told me just recently, you seem more alive!

You will never know how thankful I am for Journey to Wellness. It is absolutely miserable and such a feeling of hopelessness knowing you have such extreme symptoms and no medical doctor can figure out what is wrong.  When I watched the EBV webinar, I immediately sent it to one of my friends. She responded back "after hearing all the symptoms I'm 100% sure this is what you have been dealing with,"  Just from watching the webinar I felt such relief that my symptoms were real and that there was finally a solution. The staff at Journey to Wellness is hands down the best! I love that they are always available to walk with you through the journey.  Dr. Justin said on the 1st phone call, this is my personal cell number call or text anytime. He meant that, he and the rest of the team have literally always been just a phone call away! I'm just starting phase 4 and I can tell you, I feel so much better. I no longer HAVE to take a nap in the middle of the day. The joint pain, stomach pain is no longer. The muscle weakness is much improved. I was actually able to carry my 3 year the other day without my muscles in my arm burning and giving out. My life is better because of Journey to Wellness and I will forever be thankful that our paths crossed!"

- Jamie S.

"More energy, ability to manage stress and just being able to function well enough for my family! Journey to Wellness has changed my life for the better. Prior to working with them I wasn’t able to get out of bed due to extreme fatigue caused by chronic Epstein Barr virus. After a year of working with them, I feel the best I have mentally and physically, I can enjoy time with my family and feel incredible."

- Morgan H.

"While I did cut out a lot of foods and started taking supplements, my body seemed to align itself … my joints didn’t feel achy, weight fell off, and I had energy back. My husband saying ‘I feel like I have my wife back’ was worth every penny.

I know it sounds dramatic but it was life changing. I finally feel like myself and within 6 months of starting the program. I was feeling so so so much better! It’s made me more in tune to my body and I can sense when I’m flaring up again. If that happens, I have the tools to nip it in the bud quickly. Sure I’m fitting into a smaller size now, which is great, but it’s also the feeling that I have control of my body again! For 3+ years I didn’t feel like myself. The JTW team confirmed my symptoms (that were largely ignored by western docs) and had a clear path to wellness and wholeness. I quickly saw the results in how I was feeling. It was hard work but also so worth it. I could go on and on with the improvements I’ve seen in my life, but yeah to say it’s been pretty life changing is an understatement!"

- Rachel R.

"My biggest breakthroughs have been weight loss, more energy, and improved menstrual cycles. Journey to Wellness has given me guidance and HOPE. I had been packing on the pounds and I just couldn't get it to budge. I knew something needed to change, but didn't know what it was. Journey to Wellness gave me the road map to get myself on track. I received and continue to receive so much guidance, wisdom and understanding along the way."

- Evie A.

"I am feeling so very grateful for having found the Journey to Wellness team almost one year ago! I just got my updated allergy test. My first one came back with 29 allergens... lots of “healthy” stuff that I had been eating regularly.

My new one?! 13 allergens!! The gut is healing and I get to enjoy almond butter again!

Thank you to Dr. Shannyn, Dr. Justin, Dr. Stacey and Amanda! I am so grateful for each of you and the structure, support and knowledge that you have given me to heal my body in so many ways."

- Evie A.

"Finding out hormone issues, adrenal issues, insulin resistance, Epstein Barr & Hashimotos. So many of my issues for years now make sense. Dr. Shannyn has given me a plan to follow that changes as I make progress that is helping to give me long term relief and not just mask the symptoms. Dr. Shannyn is amazing. She listens and does the testing needed to find your problems. I've never had the relationship I do with her with any other doctor in my life. These aren't quick fixes but ones that can last a lifetime if you stick to the plan. I would have gone the rest of my life with these same issues without her help. She has helped me to address my grief journey with her breathwork and meditation work. She has helped me feel like a different person even though I'm still working on reaching all my goals by listening, testing and providing plans that I can follow. Amanda is amazing with nutrition and helps you see that eating healthy is fun, easy and affordable. The right food choices are a game changer."

- Kim C.

"I have lost fat and weight so I know I have detoxed. I lost 3" in each thigh! And my stomach does not have that middle age pooch. I am looking forward to this rebuilding phase, actually getting to gain some weight but with the right food. Seven or so years ago I did Maximized Living; it was perfect for me at that time. I lost 40ish pounds. After a few years, I began to be concerned with inflammation/family history of Alzheimer's. In the last two years I have taken online training to learn about the gut biome, blood brain barrier, inflammation, vagus nerve, role of hormones on inflammatory diseases. I made more changes. But over time I found myself getting stressed as I understood there was an order to the process that I did not understand. I also didn't trust these trainers enough, due to lack of familiarity, to pay thousands and sign up for their assistance. Recognizing that the stress was not helpful and felt I had reached as far as I could go by myself, I enrolled. I remember Justin saying, "Tracy, we have been here before. Are you ready yet?" And I said yes--just tell me what to do and when. I know I have not been, maybe even 80% consistently, but I have implemented a lot, go back to it more strenuously, and am learning to relax with my own flow of the program. Like Max Living, I am making this a lifestyle. I am also focusing on calming the f#@# down; mostly just flow and breathe. I like knowing there are detox supplements and resets that will help me with life and the continuous bombardment of crap we are exposed to."

- Tracy C.

"My throat clearing and chronic cough has been reduced by about 80%!! I also lost 7lbs without really trying, and all while eating plenty of great food and always feeling satisfied. And, my dizziness is almost completely gone and is only very occasional as opposed to constant and daily. It has finally given me hope (and proof) that I will feel good again. I have answers now and know that with guidance I can do what I need to do to continue on the road to amazing health!"

- Elaine P.

"My biggest breakthroughs were when my last liver biopsy came back showing NO signs of Autoimmune Hep, and when I realized that I feel better now in my 60s than I did in my 30s and 40s.

I tried on my own to handle my health issues by cleaning up my diet and using tons of supplements. Journey helped me see that I was missing things - that testing is huge and using those tests helped this team to guide me toward better food choices and the correct supplements for the correct time. I will forever be grateful for the impact that this program has had on my life...I am a 63 year old grandma of 5 who is determined to have fun with them for a long time."

- Barbara F.

"I knew I was an anxious person before working with Journey to Wellness but I didn't even go into the program thinking I could change that. I thought I was just built that way because my parents are anxious. It wasn't even part of my plan and having all of that anxiety melt away I would say that has been the biggest game changer for me. Also I was off my thyroid medication within a year!

I don't even like to think about where I would be with my health right now if it hadn't been for Journey to Wellness. I tell my husband all the time it is hands down the best decision I have ever made for my health. I follow other health and wellness doctors and influencers and everything they say always lines up with the Journey to Wellness doctors which makes me that much more confident in them.

I also can't even keep up with all of the information J2W constantly puts out. I feel like it has unlocked an entire world of everything I have wanted to know in-depth but didn't have access to. I also love that if I have a question that they don't have an answer to they always will find one for me. I am over 2 years in with J2W and they have changed my life in a way that few have. I still love it just as much as the day I started."

- Alisha W

"Before I began this amazing journey, I dealt with severe joint pain for many, many years and I did experience unusual and unexplained symptoms to which most doctors were baffled and unfortunately didn't understand or know how to help me. Upon commencing this 6 week program my symptoms, like severe swelling, seemed to lessen in Week 1. I am now halfway through the final week and I have been able to wear my rings on my fingers comfortably and tighten the sandal straps for the last 2 weeks.

This is a huge indication of how my inflammation has reduced, including weight loss overall. A huge thank you to Dr Shannyn and her wonderful team."

- Anna P.

"I was struggling to feel understood by the medical profession and felt like I was never going to get better. I felt isolated and misunderstood even by my family.

I am feeling hopeful for the first time in many years. My fatigue has improved to where I am able to spend more time doing activities I enjoy. I truly believe Dr Shannyn wants people to be well and live their best life. That is why I spent the money on the Epstein-Barr Deep Dive. She knows what she is talking about.

Thank you for putting together such a complete program that addresses the whole person."

- Barbara G.
