Unlocking Optimal Health with Regenerative Wellness: My Journey with Ways2Well
In our modern diet, it's a common yet surprising fact that many of us lack essential nutrients. Despite our efforts, the modified nature of today's food can leave us feeling unwell and stagnant in our fitness goals.
The Need for a Holistic Approach
That's where Ways2Well, a leader in functional and regenerative care based in Houston, comes into the picture. They offer a unique approach to health, focusing on comprehensive blood lab analysis with Quest Diagnostics to uncover the root causes of health issues.
The 80/20 Wellness Rule
The 80/20 rule in wellness, emphasizing healthy eating 80% of the time with flexibility in the remaining 20%, is a guiding principle. But what if our healthy eating isn't yielding the results we expect? This is where Ways2Well's expertise becomes invaluable.
My Personal Transformation
My own experience with Ways2Well began in March 2022. Despite my General Practitioner noticing irregularities in my liver enzymes, it was Ways2Well that identified the core issues - from inflammation in my digestive system to improper glucose processing, likely exacerbated by my consumption of two Monster Drinks daily.
The Power of Proper Supplementation
The supplements and medications prescribed by Ways2Well, which I conveniently paid for with my Health Spending Account, resulted in dramatic improvements. I regained my vitality, witnessed gains in the gym, and experienced a significant shift in mindset.
Cost-Effective Wellness
While Ways2Well does have a cost, their most comprehensive package, including blood work and a detailed analysis, was an affordable $500. Additionally, for ongoing supplements, I found great value in consulting Chris Webb at Iamsupplements, who offers a more cost-effective alternative.
The Bottom Line
Chris's philosophy that "Nutrition and supplementation is 70% of your success" resonates deeply with my experience. Ways2Well has been instrumental in helping me overcome the "modified" and "monstered" out aspects of my diet.
Stay Informed, Stay Healthy
Regular blood work, as recommended by Ways2Well, is essential to monitor progress and adjust as your body evolves. It's a journey of continual improvement and self-discovery.

What is Regenerative Health?
You might be surprised to hear this but in today’s world, you are probably missing nutrients. Our foods are so modified today that we can find out we are missing certain elements that make us hit plateaus in our fitness, feel sick, tired, or just feel plain lousy.
Regenerative Health and Wellness may be just the thing you need. There is a 70/30 rule that we say in fitness and that is this: “30% of your gains are made in the gym, the other 70% is made through nutrition and supplementation.”
But what if we “think” we are eating healthy and still not seeing results? Most likely we are missing out on optimal health and fitness gains!
Enter Ways2Well.
Ways2Well provides functional and regenerative care. Located in the Houston area, they work directly with Quest Diagnostics.
They focus primarily on helping men and women stay optimal in their health and well-being.
Ways2Well uses comprehensive blood labs (using Quest Diagnostics). They analyze what’s happening in the body.
They then use the results of those labs to educate their patients on their current health and develop solutions to optimize health and prevent illness or disease.
Their goal is to empower you to take control of your health on your own terms by providing the diagnostic information you need through blood lab analysis.
They provide solutions related to immune health, sleep health, and peptide therapy. Your body makes peptides. They're strings of amino acids, which are the "building blocks" of proteins.
How I found Ways2Well
I found out about Ways2Well from my friend and go-to for supplementation Chris Webb at Iamsupplements in Rosenberg, next to Planet Fitness.
Note: you can use your Health Spending and Flex Spending Accounts at Iamsupplements.
I went to Ways2Well in March of 2022. And I learned so much through my blood panel, more than I had learned through my General Practioner. Why?
Because their motto is: “Get well, stay well.”
My GP had noticed on my blood work that my liver enzymes were not working properly but just wanted to keep an “eye on it.” Honestly, my experience with doctors is not good. Often times their motto appears to be “get well enough to stay with me.” 😥
Ways2Well noticed my liver enzymes were off and that my body was not processing nutrients properly because my insulin was off. They suspected I had some kind of inflammation in my digestive system. Plus, I was not processing glucose properly.
Monster Drinks are Bad for You!
I am quite sure a lot of that had to do with the 2 Monster Drinks I was drinking a day - something I quit cold turkey in April of 2022. Yes, I reluctantly admit I was drinking 2 a day! 😯
I can tell you that the supplements and medicines they put me on drastically changed my life! I was so sluggish back in February that I quit working out - totally!
“This is not me!” I felt totally off.
After taking the supplements and medicine I started feeling better in just 2 weeks. I quit the Monster Drinks too - which I am quite sure contributed to my poor health.
I started seeing gains in the gym again that I had only seen in my younger years. Okay, just 3 years ago, but still.
Before Ways2Well I would workout and feel sore for days, that is not me!! After Ways2Well - I feel fabulous and my workouts are actually helping me instead of hurting me!
Not only did I start feeling better physically but I also reversed my mindset. I started researching healthy habit-building skills - which I also teach.
In doing so I built cornerstone habits that helped me improve productivity, stop drinking so much alcohol, and find hobbies and things I enjoy doing.
Whereas beforehand, I was tired, had no energy, and was totally unproductive.
How much is Ways2Well?
Ways2Well does incur a cost. I did the most expensive package and paid for it with my Health Spending Account. The cost was $500. This included blood work and a 45-minute online appointment that was a complete analysis.
The medicines and supplements they put me on cost about $200 for 3 months supply. Insurance covers most of that.
But they also put you on supplements that you can get elsewhere for a lot less than they charge. I actually get my supplements from Chris at Iamsupplements.
For example, I am on ZMA-C and it cost $65 through Ways2Well Pharmacy. Chris’ cost for the same supplement was $25.
I recommend talking to Chris about ALL your supplement needs, including your results with Ways2Well. He is a wealth of knowledge.
And I agree with him. He says and I quote, “Nutrition and supplementation is 70% of your success, whereas exercise and working out is 30%.”
YOU CAN NOT OUT-TRAIN A BAD DIET!
And in today’s world of modified foods, you are lucky if you are on a “good” diet. Unless of course you grow AND cook your own food.
And you will find your body getting the nutrients it needs despite everything being “modified” or “monstered” out!!
It is recommended to get your bloodwork done every 3 months or so to check how you are doing. As you improve your body will need other things to help overcome plateaus.
