  I never post reviews. Not ever. But, I felt compelled to do this one because Courtney was able to help me solve a medical issue which had bothered me for over a year.
  
  I developed an allergic reaction in my esophagus know to the medical community as eosinophilic esophagitis. Very tough to treat and certainly cure, it is treated for most adults with topical steroids in combination with heart-burn related meds. Treated by an allergist, I did both for about 9 months but could not solve the problem. With the next step being a food elimination diet (very tough for those of us eating everything at will), I was recommended to Courtney and Five Seasons Functional Medicine by a friend (not a doctor).
  
  Given my reliance upon doctors throughout my life, I was skeptical but decided to see her. She understood the problem immediately, thought she could help, but also asked for a time commitment of a few months. I agreed reluctantly, but also thought that everything she said made total sense. Mainly, that the immune system is controlled by the gut and, most importantly, what you eat. And, that my problem was potentially related to inflammation in my body due to my inability to process certain food types.
  
  Long story short, I followed her program religiously. It started with pure paleo and supplements... which was impossibly hard for me. I lost weight initially, but we made adjustments and within three weeks on the diet, the pain in my esophagus subsided.. .completely. I was shocked after having lived with pain upon every swallow for almost a year. And, I became a believer in functional medicine, a first for me.
  
  It has been four months now, and I have still have no pain. I am off all supplements, but continue gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar free (fruit of all types is fine). I am adding certainly foods back in selectively, but monitor this so I know how to readjust if the condition resurfaces. I feel better, think better and sleep better, and truly believe that inflammation is the cause of many of our health problems, and can be mitigated through proper diet and the avoidance of certain food types.
  
  If you have a gut-related problem or inflammation in your body of any kind (we all have this, and it most likely leads to heart disease and many other ailments), I would highly recommend a consultation with Courtney Jonson at Five Seasons in Portola Valley.
