The American Heart Association (AHA) recently announced coconut oil is bad for you. This is the same advisory organization that endorses breakfast cereals loaded with sugars and artificial additives. It’s important to look at this coconut oil advisory in context: Saturated fats have been proven repeatedly not to be bad for your health or raise the risk [...]
Fish oil supplements tout their ratios of DHA and EPA. But how do you know how much EPA or DHA you need? If you’re looking to support and optimize brain health, go for the highest ratio of DHA to EPA you can find. While EPA tames inflammation, DHA is known for boosting brain health. Both [...]
Sadly, millions of women and girls absorb high levels of toxins every month thanks to lax manufacturing standards of tampons and sanitary pads. These products are loaded with highly absorbable industrial contaminants — the body takes in more toxins through the vaginal wall than through ingestion. Manufacturers are not required to list the ingredients used [...]
The United States enjoys liberal access to nutritional supplements. We can buy virtually any supplement from multiple sources either at the local grocery store or online. Other countries can be more stringent when it comes to access and don’t enjoy near the wide range of variety. However, the freedom around nutritional supplements in the United [...]
We tend to think of our emotions as being strictly tied to our psychology and personality — some people are highly emotional and others are not. But did you know your inner can profoundly affect your emotions? Our inner ear, called the vestibular system, is integrated with the eyes and the brain to tell you [...]
Are you addicted to social media? Do you rarely write with a pen anymore? Do you find it difficult to wait without checking your phone? If so, you may be at risk for developing digital dementia. Researchers theorize that overuse of digital technology breaks down short term memory and cognitive abilities. In other words, by letting [...]
Aging gracefully is all about taking care of your mitochondria — the little energy factories in each cell. As we get older, their function can start to diminish, which plays a key role in aging of the body. However, new research has shown a little-known strategy to boost the longevity and function of your mitochondria — regular [...]
Many people think they don’t need to go gluten-free because eating wheat doesn’t give them gut problems. However, the area of the body most often damaged by gluten isn’t the gut but the brain and nervous system. If you struggle with anxiety, depression, brain fog, memory loss, fatigue, or other brain-based disorders, it’s worth ruling [...]
If you struggle with excess weight or high blood sugar, your blood tests show may also show fatty liver (high liver enzymes). Although fatty liver has no overt symptoms, a liver filled with fat hinders detoxification, promotes inflammation, may increase gallstones and increases heart attack risk. So a fatty liver means eat less fat, right? Wrong, [...]

I've been working with Dr. Matz since January and he has been fantastic. The whole team is awesome! They do an extremely comprehensive analysis of your symptoms, get proper tests, teach you the most important diet/lifestyle changes and help diagnosis/heal you. I've learned so much from them and the resources they provide. Can't recommend them enough! �
Signing up with the Holistic Wellness Center is literally the most important thing I have done for myself in the past 16 years. I have seven children (yes seven!)and I always thought I was doing the best thing by giving them everything and putting myself last. Then, over the years, I ended up extremely overweight, exhausted and in a lot of physical pain. The staff at the Holistic wellness center have turned my life around...I have lost 60 pounds and I am finally working on fixing the underlying issues of my exhaustion and pain that other conventional doctors would just overlook. Going to a place like the holistic wellness center is truly the only way you are going to get to the root causes of your health issues and get them fixed. I will forever be thankful for finding this place! You are worth the investment and you will not be sorry that you did something to take care of yourself and live a healthier life!
I just graduated successfully from my 4-month wellness program at the Holistic Wellness Center in Fort Mill. Dr. Matz was my doctor and though I did not have any evident health issues and started out of curiosity, the learning curve and the knowledge I acquired as a member were amazing! Katie is the best nutritionist I have had the pleasure to work with, her grocery store tour was amazing! The center teaches a healthy way of life and gives tools and knowledge to maintain and be self sufficient.That's what I really liked the most as when there's a will, there's a way and they show you the way if you are willing. The classes they offer and the variety of events have always been great and worth my time. I will highly recommend to anyone who wants to live a long, healthy, full of energy and happiness life!
This is a great place to get your healthy life together. They teach how to live not just diet. It was nice to get some real answers on my health concerns and not just more drugs. This place is well worth the money because you are equipped with knowledge for the rest of your life. Sugar and fake sugar are in so many things we eat that don't have to be. This isn't medicine is about your body lasting and thriving. There program actually works and it stays in your head so you are always aware of your choices about your health. I will be staying with them and love the fact I can avoid so many issues with the knowledge they gave me. When you know the truth it is easier.
HWCC has given me the tools for healing. Their in-depth testing and all points frontal approach uses diet,exercise, yoga, mindfulness and dietary supplements to heal body and mind. Suffering from Lyme Disease, I had lost much memory and cognitive function. Some days I could not figure out which shoe went on which foot, or if green at a stop light meant stop or go. All of that has gone away.I feel like I have my life back! The yoga teachers are great as well as the staff. I highly recommend HWCC!
My BRAIN is back..............!! OK so for the last 10+ years I had been slowly losing my Cognitive thinking (problem solving skills), attention span and have had serious brain fog - I was in a complete white out and had an attention span of 10 minutes max! I had Psoriasis showing up on my face, daily reflux and also had mood swings, fatigue and had put on about 55 lbs. that would not leave me - no matter what! After seeing an ad on Facebook for a class at the HWC I decided I should go. It was the best decision I EVER made. After a bunch of tests and a major diet change - I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease. I have since done a ton of research on Lyme and found that I must continue the way of eating that I have grown to love anyway - This is a no brainier anyway because I feel so good I would be a fool not to continue it for the rest of my life. YES I just said that - I am going to eat NO sugar, NO dairy, NO Gluten for the rest of my life - and I'm excited and happy about it - wow NEVER thought I would say that! So by day 8 of the detox my heartburn was gone (and hasn't been back), I lost 25 lbs and my Cognitive thinking has returned....the fog has lifted and it feels so good - when I am presented problems I no longer have the deer in the headlights look I can immediately come up with the perfect solutions. We are working on treating the Lyme and my body is responding very well. I have to say I was never a big fan of Traditional Medicine - putting a band aid on a broken arm doesn't work well for me. I actually like to fix the problems and with the help of HWC I have been able to do that - I am only 2 months into a 6 month personalized program and I feel SO amazing. Go and get FIXED you won't regret it.......I PROMISE
I am honored to have met and worked with Dr. Boyle and the team at the Holistic Wellness Center over the past sixth months! In ten years of searching and working alongside alternative practitioners, this is the most comprehensive, caring, inclusive and dedicated team to work with for understanding restorative health as a daily practice and transforming your life one step at a time. Superlatives fall short at describing the benefits I have gained since choosing the Holistic Wellness Center ! My body has benefitted immensely from more (consistent) energy, restful sleep, clear thinking and focus. I came in with years of collected data about my health and genetics and a body struggling with daily pain and inconsistant cycles (including a nine year gap with no cycle), hypothyroid issues, methylation issues, energy depletion and more questions than answers.. After my initial consult I felt hope for the first time that there were clear solutions and I have been greatful everyday since for the progress is tangible . Without hesitation I recommend this team!!!!!
