Kylene and the team at FWDfuel have helped me FINALLY feel like myself again.

I have struggled with fatigue, brain fog, bloating and IBS for over a decade. I’ve worked with multiple doctors, nurses and dietitians through both traditional methods, functional medicine, etc. I’ve tried various tests, elimination diets, exercise, meditation, medication, and supplements. While some have helped slightly nothing truly made me feel like myself again. If the fatigue was reduced, the bloating would still be there. If the bloating and IBS improved, the brain fog would still be there, etc.

I reached out to Kylene after hearing that there was a specific test for Inflammation that she was certified to run. I had met Kylene when she was a dietician with a functional medicine team. Kylene set up a meeting with me to talk a bit more about my challenges and what I had tried since she and I last met. We ultimately determined that the root cause of my problems was a deep exposure to mold.

Kylene was conscientious of the time and money I had put into trying to improve my health over the past 10+ years and she worked closely with me in that first session to dig into the root and then seek out what made the most sense for my treatment (and what would be the most cost effective). Kylene showed that she genuinely cared about my progress and wasn’t just there to provide a “quick fix” and make a profit.

Kylene was always willing to help explain “the why” for any treatment and why potentially some of my previous attempts with elimination diets, etc. had not worked. I appreciated the time that Kylene spent to make sure I truly understood why we were completing each step of the program and why certain supplements were needed.

Kylene was empathetic as I experienced some unexpected family health problems during our 3 month package and she worked with me to redesign the program so that I could be successful. After even just a month of working with Kylene, I felt like a different person. I was happier, my energy was back, and my gut was starting to feel better (FINALLY). Now that I’m through 3 months of my program with Kylene, I feel even better. I am moving more quickly when I play tennis, my brain feels more alert at work and at home, my gut feels much more healed and overall, I just feel happier and more comfortable.

I am incredibly grateful for Kylene and her team. To be able to feel like myself again has truly been a gift. I missed who I was and how I felt before mold and fatigue took over and working with Kylene helped me finally break the cycle and feel...

I have been working with Abby for the past 6 months and it has been a game changer for me. I am currently a sophomore Division 1 swimmer at a major university. I battled illness and fatigue my entire freshman season due to the stress and training demands. By the end of the season I had severe fatigue, bloating, inflammation and my body would not recover from the intense training. I was diagnosed with optic neuritis. After seeing several specialists with no answers, I sought help from Abby. After my first detailed session, she recommended further testing and suggested a possible diagnosis. Well her hunch about my condition was correct - I had an active Lyme infection. Abby recommended a supplementation and nutrition plan to support my recovery, training and address my Lyme infection. I worked with a sports nutritionist in High School and my freshman year in college through the university. My work with Abby was different. She looked at the athlete dining menus to build my plan down to what I should eat and the quantity of each food on my plate. She mapped my food intake and snacks to my training schedule. I don’t have to think about when and what to eat as she has simplified this for me with her suggestions at each meal and snack break. It is easy for me as I don’t have the extra time to plan and meal prep. She has taught me how to read labels and shop for groceries. I no longer have to worry if I am getting enough protein as I know if I follow her schedule I have what I need to fuel my body for training and recovery. I am almost finished with my supplements to address the Lyme infection and have just started my sophomore season. I feel better, have more energy and am seeing the benefits of the right nutrition being am integral part of my swimming. My bloating and inflammation are gone. We continue to adjust my nutrition and supplementation based on my recovery. Abby will continue to be a part of my athletic journey as the work I am doing with her is now an integral part of my training. Abbys guidance and wellness program will continue to be my game changer in the...

I am a 52 years old female from Dallas, TX, and over the last eight years, I have continued to gain weight despite all the exercise and what I thought was good eating. (MENOPAUSE) Yes, every doctor I went to would tell me there was not much I could do it’s menopause, eat better, and exercise. I was, and still nothing. I felt frustrated and defeated after trying to eat how I was being told and adding more workouts. So I changed my mindset to wanting to focus on being healthy, and not focus on weight—After reading about the importance of gut health and seeing how it changed my daughters, after working with Abby Grimm, I reached out to Abby, and I am so thankful I did. She was so kind, knowledgeable, and encouraging. Through the process, I realized I had lost my knowledge of the foods I needed to eat and fell prey to the fads and trends for a quick fix when all it was doing was harming my overall health. I told her I would trust the process. She ordered tests, and we found my gut was NOT balanced, so we started with some supplements and dietary changes to fuel my body. She had so much knowledge even before the test came in that she had an idea of what was going on just from our first conversation. Fast forward, Abby is family because she cares so much. For the first time in eight years, I have been consistently losing weight each week, and I do not have inflammation that I didn't even know I had because I had lived with it for so long. In the first month, my mobility improved, I was losing weight, and I was not white-knuckling it to my next meal. I feel satisfied and excited about each day. Three months later, I am still losing each week, my energy is up, and I am excited about eating without guilt. I have been so impressed and cared for I will be using Abby to continue to check what she recommends and stay on the path of good health so I can continue living an active, pain-free...
