Feeling sick as hell but no underlying cause was found?
“It’s just in your head!”
…or is it?
- Are you frustrated after seeing many doctors and still having no answers? They have no clue, are downplaying your symptoms, trying to persuade you your health problems must be all just in your head?
- You keep hearing there is nothing wrong with your test results, so you must be fine? That you are too young to be sick, that you should just visit a psychiatrist?
- Are you dealing with diverse, puzzling symptoms but nobody is able to connect the dots – yet you know there has to be more to it?
- You have received a diagnosis but it seems as a dead end with more questions than answers?
I know it all too well. And I might be able to help you!
Hi! My name is Matúš. I have spent several years battling severe health problems (spanning poorly understood diagnoses of ME/CFS, SIBO, IBS, POTS and more).
I was barely surviving and bedbound for a long time with debilitating symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, feeling wired but tired, digestive issues, muscle tightness, sound and light sensitivity among others – a complete disaster with no end in sight. Yet I was not able to get any help from the standard medical system.
Having no other choice than to get better on my own, after a rough journey I have managed to weed out all the noise, find out what is actually important and works. Ultimately, I managed to improve my health remarkably and bring myself back to life from the very pits of hell.
After my vast experience with the common healthcare system being useless, having even been dangerously mistreated, I recognized that a different path was necessary. During my healing journey, I have acquired a great wealth of knowledge about how it is possible to get better and how our bodies actually function, often in ways that most doctors sadly still have little clue of.
In the recent years, I have spent endless hours reading medical or about any relevant literature, learning about and trying various therapeutic methods, searching for useful insights for similar conditions or ill health in general and communicating with people having anything worthwhile to say. All of that with the most unrelenting motivation – to finally feel better and heal myself.
My medical and scientific education background has been the foundation I have built upon during all this struggle.
Still continuing with my healing journey myself, I strive to achieve the highest possible level of recovery. I am deeply interested in ways of true healing of our health – especially in connection to the incredibly important gut microbiome, fixing gut dysbiosis and all the related topics. Seeing our health in the big picture and understanding how symptoms can be actually solved, instead of just masking them without addressing the deeper causes.
Back to the beginning, however tragic I find the necessity to say that:
Your symptoms may absolutely not be all just in your head!
Everything is connected in our bodies. Body and mind can’t be separated. Our physical health, especially gut health with all its microbes are the basis for our wellbeing and influence our mind. We are in fact a whole ecosystem. At the same time, it goes the other way around too, with our mind influencing our bodies. The dividing line is very thin.
Let’s get to a better understanding of our health and do away with all the “it’s just in your head” gaslighting when it’s not due and obsolete understanding of the everyday medical system!
Topics you can discuss with me include:
- SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)
- IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)
- ME/CFS (so-called chronic fatigue syndrome)
- Food intolerances, histamine intolerance
- Skin problems
- Unexplained anxiety, depression, insomnia
- Seasonal allergies
- Sleep problems
- Gut microbiome and other health tests
- FMT (fecal microbiota transplant) – I have extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of this treatment.
- Diet, supplements
- Healing process in general- my experience and insights
Areas of my knowledge and interest
The gut microbiome
The gut microbiome influences our whole body, our functioning, how we feel, sleep, look, what we eat and even what do we think. A healthy microbiome is a must for a good health, both physical and mental. I am deeply interested in all the implications the gut microbiome has for our health and how it completely changes the ways of how our health problems can (and should) be understood and treated.
Healing gut problems and gut dysbiosis
I know how stubborn the gut problems can be – as well as other symptoms that may be in fact arising from them. And however impossible it can sometimes seem, I know that these problems can often be helped. However, to achieve that, one has to get rid of all dubious, generic, ill-based or superficial approaches and ideas and focus on what has the true potential to make a meaningful change. I have both extensive personal experience and theoretical knowledge and can help with all important questions, including those related to probiotics and FMT (fecal microbiota transplant).
Understanding of interconnectedness within the human body
The pathological processes don’t appear “just like that” and don’t just happen in an isolated spot in our bodies. The mechanistic thinking, isolating pathological processes and seeing things out of context, which the common medical practice tends to be guilty of – should be a thing of the past.
The gut, skin, brain function, sleep quality, inflammation, mood, thought and behavioral patterns and much more – it’s all related! All our organ systems – as well as our bodies and minds as such – are interconnected and can’t be separated.
Our physical health, particularly the gut health and a healthy microbiome plays a key role in our wellbeing and influences our mental health. At the same time it goes the other way around too. Stress, traumas, ways of thinking can put our health in a vulnerable, compromised state.
Health and microbiome tests
I know how to make sense of all the countless diagnostic tests and their parameters. Which are actually useful for healing and which just a waste of your money, time and energy? What do the parameters of microbiome analysis tests mean?
Supplements, herbs, vitamins
I have tried – so to speak – everything and even more. In my healing process I aquired an extensive knowledge about what, when, how, why (and if at all) to take. As well as what is and what is not reasonable to expect when it comes to various supplements.
Diet optimalization and individualization
Food shall be thy medicine. It’s really as simple (or complicated?) as that! I can suggest specific dietary approaches that can help heal your gut and in turn, possibly your entire body.
Innovative, forward-thinking and integrative healing methods
Trying to treat a person paying attention only to superficial manifestations of disease (and of dysbiosis) is at best a questionable, workaround solution, at worst a terrible mistake with dangerous consequences. I am eager about methods that bring new, better approaches to true healing, while getting rid of all the marketing hype, alternative quackery and of misleading ideas and false solutions that only mask the symptoms (or even lead to harm in the long run), as is often the case within the average, mainstream medicine.
