"I first came to Dr. Macari to see if she could do anything to help my breathing difficulty. She felt my breathing difficulty was due to lung cancer and sent me to an oncologist who he agreed and wanted to begin me on cancer therapies. I was not willing to go through chemotherapy or radiation so I went back to Dr. Macari to see if she had anything to offer me. She ran some blood tests then started me on a regimen of nutrients. I continued with the nutrients for about nine months when my family doctor told me he could see no sign of any lung cancer. Needless to say, I am more than pleased with Dr. Macari's approach."

""At 28 months our son Colin stopped talking, became lethargic, unresponsive, began drooling constantly, and had become essentially lost to us. We took him to an "autism specialist" at Riley where we were told there is no treatment for Autism. We then attended a lecture by Dr. Macari where she explained how the overuse of antibiotics and the administering of vaccinations during critical phases of development often correlate to the symptoms labeled autism. Within his first month of treatment with Dr. Macari, Colin stopped drooling. At month three he began speaking in two word sentences and interacting with us and others. At month six he answered questions, asked questions in three word sentences, and had no other health problems whatsoever. In fact, he remained well when the rest of our family all suffered colds. By eight months he could recite the entire alphabet and could read any letter I pointed to. He could also count to twenty. At the twelve month mark, Dr. Macari said she felt Colin was ready for mainstream pre-school."

"Cancer and heart disease are a big part of my family history. I didn't put much thought into it for myself until my medical doctor said I needed to start cholesterol and blood pressure medications. I began the medications and then started doing some research on the internet. I never realized how dangerous these medications are. I shared my concerns with my medical doctor and she said it a risk/benefit situation. I asked if she could offer me a more natural solution and she laughed. Needless to say, I was embarrassed. I began doing more research on the internet and came across information on functional medicine. I was surprised to find that there was a functional medicine doctor here in Carmel.

I made an appointment and met with Dr. Macari. She spent an hour with me learning about me, my family history, understanding my concerns, and really listening to what I wanted to do about my health. She discussed her functional medicine approach and what that meant to me. Months later I went back to my medical doctor and asked if I still needed the drugs. She agreed they were no longer necessary, but could not explain why."

" I never realized that the food I ate affected my hormone levels and could lower my testosterone. Dr. Macari educated me on the relationship between my diet, my hormones, and my mood. My medical doctor was so stunned by the changes in my health that he not only stopped all my medications, but he also became a patient of Dr. Macari's. It feels good to know that I can control my health."

" I began having acne when I was a teenager, but I never grew out of it. As an adult, I was continually chasing every would-be cure for acne. My esthetician suggested I see Dr. Macari to evaluate the possibility of my acne being a symptom of a greater problem. My esthetician said she had witnessed a number of people gain lasting improvement in their skin through Dr. Macari's functional medicine approach. I consulted Dr. Macari and within the first month my skin was greatly improved and I lost seven pounds. I was so pleased that I continued on her diet and supplement recommendations and realized 23 pounds of weight loss, improved sleep, and my energy level soared."

" As a medical doctor I see the results of my patients' poor lifestyles. I am now instructing my patients to incorporate functional medicine strategies to better manage their health. Nutrition was virtually non-existent in medical school, but I am now intimately aware of its role in health and in managing disease."

" After seven years of marriage and countless infertility treatments, we were still unable to fulfill our dream of having a child. We stopped the infertility treatments and resolved ourselves to adoption. A year later, a friend told us about Dr. Macari. We consulted with Dr. Macari and she ran a number of special tests, and then told us that Linda's inability to conceive was related to her body being overcome by trying to rid itself of certain environmental toxins she had been exposed to throughout her life.

She prescribed a nutrient plan for us both and taught us how to eliminate certain things from our diet and living environment that may be further challenging her system. We followed the plan and were pregnant within the seventh month. We are now on our third child."

"I consulted Dr. Macari for help regarding memory loss. I had reached the point that it was no longer safe for me to drive. My wife would ask me to do something and I would forget what I was supposed to be doing or go to the wrong room and not know why I was there. Dr. Macari said she felt I would benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy. After my twelfth treatment, I was able to drive from Indianapolis to Chicago to visit my son.

After my twenty-fifth treatment my knees, hip, and back no longer hurt. I had not mentioned this problem to Dr. Macari, but was happy to report I no longer was in pain.

I have now finished my treatments with my memory as good as it ever was. I am also now able to play golf without pain."

" By age 41 I was having a number of symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, knee pain, and chronic headaches. I wasn't overweight and I didn't smoke. For two years my medical doctor told me it was all in my head and I was just getting old. Old? Since when is 41 considered old? He prescribed me anti-depressants and various pain medications. He kept upping the dosage, but I never really felt any better. I then began looking for answers on the internet. I came across a website for innovative doctors and ultimately Dr. Macari.

Dr. Macari explained to me that my medical doctor was correct, but there was more to the story. She took laboratory measurements and instructed me on an anti-aging diet. I have been taking the supplements she prescribed and eating the way she advised. To my amazement, I no longer take any medications and I feel as good as I did when I was twenty."

" After my hysterectomy my OB/GYN told me to find a new doctor because I no longer had the parts she treats. The year after my hysterectomy I felt like I was seventy years old. I had no sex drive, I could not handle any stress, and I began putting on weight quickly, which I am convinced is related to the estrogen replacement. A friend suggested that I see her doctor, so I did.

My visit with Dr. Macari began with an hour long interview about my health, my family history, and my health goals. She explained how she fashions her care and it was a refreshing change from what I was used to. I decided to put my trust into her. That was one of the better decisions I have ever made. She really went to work. She gathered all of my medical records from my other doctors, ordered a number of labs, and then spent another hour with me explaining the entire picture of my health to me. She helped me understand how my mind and body are really one in the same and how hormones interplay.

She has guided me and educated me on how to get me feeling my best again. I am very pleased with how I now look and feel. I wish I would have discovered her five years ago. I feel I could have avoided having had a hysterectomy."

" For many years I suffered from fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and irritable bowel syndrome. Dr. Macari explained to me how these were not really three separate conditions, but rather were interrelated. She explained to me what foods I should avoid and prescribed me a number of supplements to help heal my digestive tract, restore my energy and reverse my fibromyalgia."
