About Matthew Crofoot, FNTP

My Story

My health problems began several decades ago in 2000 after an episode of unexplained nausea, feeling dizzy, passing out and being really sick and bed ridden for 5 days.  After that I had a lot of nervous system issues like tingling and numbness on my left side and of course a lot of anxiety because my body was going haywire. I had never really been sick as a child and always had solid health despite not making the best food and lifestyle choices. My problems got worse and I developed chronic fatigue for 2 years. I also couldn’t handle any stress at all without feeling horrible. I tried just about everything to get better, from going to many doctors, and trying various western and holistic treatments. Over the last 20+ years I have learned everything I could about health and explored things like nutrition, diet, weight loss, fasting, chiropractic, energy medicine, acupuncture, reiki, NES, detox, heavy metals, mercury filling removal, root canal removal and other dental work, adrenal support, anti-microbial dysbiosis and gut health programs, candida cleanse, colonics, coffee enemas, meditation, nervous system rewiring, limbic system retraining, somatic experiencing, havening technique and other trauma release work, massage, cranio-sacral therapy, detoxification programs, infra-red saunas, lymphatic drainage, dry skin brushing, exercise and movement, deep breathing, psychotherapy, and dozens and dozens of other things.

Although I made a partial recovery from all my efforts, I still wasn’t feeling great, so in 2015 I decided to recommit to reclaiming my health. Ironically I was due to face the biggest challenge yet in my healing journey.  I was exposed to toxic mold which was growing behind my bed on the wall and my life fell apart.  I was suicidal, couldn’t sleep, my nervous system was a wreck and non-stop anxiety and depression was my constant companion.  I was so sensitive that I could only sit in a dark room all day with no light or sound.  I had a nervous breakdown because of it all and it was that which brought me back into my body after being in a traumatic freeze state for the last 15 years.  This was the beginning of a spiritual awakening for me and although it was the hardest thing I have ever gone through, it was also my greatest gift for growth (which honestly it has taken me over 6 years to truly appreciate).  I have committed my life to find easier and less painful ways of healing so I can share those with others so they don’t have to go through what I did.

After this period, I started to look at the whole body from a holistic perspective including physical, energetic, mental, emotional and spiritual and find ways to support it in the most nourishing way possible. Over the years I learned many hard earned lessons about how the body and mind work and some deep philosophies on how to heal.  I went back to school to study to be a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner to fill in the missing gaps in my education and get a certification; I also received training as an advanced Quantum Healer certified by Awakening Dynamics.   I am also an ordained minister (non-denominational).  As I have applied everything I learned on my health journey I have grown tremendously as a person and developed a deep empathy, compassion and respect for those out there that are suffering from health issues whether they be big or small. I feel that I have been called to do this work to help people that aren’t feeling their best, to get back on track so they can live full, happy, energetic and vibrant lives again. I know that when we all feel our best, we treat ourselves and those around us with kindness, respect and love and it truly does make the world a better place. So many in the world are suffering right now and it’s time to take responsibility for our own beliefs, energy, choices and daily habits so we can reclaim our own health and then be in a place to help heal the rest of the world. Let me be your guide through the oftentimes frustrating and confusing world of the subconscious mind, body, health, spirituality and nutrition.
