Naperville Integrated Wellness Reviews

After dealing with years of anxiety, foggy brain, thyroid disorder, infertility, and PCOS, I was desperate for help. I had been to at least 10 different doctors trying to find cures for my symptoms and each one just shoved more pills at me. I felt like my doctors never actually cared, and they would appease me by running blood work and then brushing me off by telling me it's normal. I also teach science so I'm very familiar with how the body works so I knew my doctors were missing something. There had to be a solution that didn't involve taking 5 medications a day. So a friend recommended I try her functional medicine doctor. I was always conscious of what I ate, but I knew that I needed help with finding what foods I should be eating for ME, so I took the plunge and made an appointment.

After my first visit with Dr. Sexton, I was floored. His amount of knowledge is incredible, and the functional medicine approach- of treating the body as ONE interacting unit was exactly what I was looking for. He didn't just care about my thyroid, or just about my mental health, or just about my digestive issues....he wanted to solve it ALL. For once I felt heard. I felt like somebody had my back and truly wanted to get to the root of the problem and not just take a stab at what might be wrong with me.

It's a tough journey, don't get me wrong. But I was willing to make changes, refrain from foods that I loved knowing that I may or may not be able to eat them again. After NINE DAYS on his detox I felt better than I had in months. I'm now on day 37, and still feeling great, knowing that I still have a ways to go, but that this has been the most productive care I've ever gotten.

There needs to be more of this type of practice in our society. Everybody who doesn't feel right should be looking to functional medicine! Dr. Sexton and his staff are amazing. They know me by name after a month and are the most caring people. You can tell this is their passion and not just their job. I highly suggest if you're on the fence of investigating your health that you go see the Sextons. You will not regret it!!

I'm from a small town and was having trouble finding a doctor that would actually care to get to the root of my health problems. Most doctors write a script and that's the end. I was doing some research and came across Naperville Inegrated Wellness, their website mentioned that they deal with hypothyroidism so I decided
to email them. Lisa was so kind! She emailed me back the next day, and we then spoke on the phone. We set up an appointment and she sent me some forms to fill out prior to my appointment. She was informative and eased my nerves. The office was relaxing and clean and I got really good vibes while in the waiting room. I met doctor Sexton and was so happy after talking to him. I'm struggling to find the best adjectives to use to describe him because there's so many positive ones I can use. Intelligent, personable, kind, caring and comforting are only a few. My mother, who accompanied me, was also very impressed. He was genuinely concerned about my health issues and wanted to cover all the bases. He asked me questions, answered mine, and left me feeling confident that I am now on the path to becoming healthy. I have been bragging about my visit to my friends and family since I left. Excited to have found them and am looking forward to working with them more.

I was very impressed with the thoroughness of the initial exam and how the team at Naperville Integrated Wellness used the "Whole Body" approach to address my issues. I have had low back pain for quite some time and the physical stretches/activities that were suggested have been very helpful. I am able to maintain flexibility and functionality by following their guidance. Dr. Clint and Lisa have even helped my daughter with her food issues. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for help and increased health.

I have been with Naperville Integrated Wellness for just a few weeks. I came in so frustrated with my body chemistry and so beaten down, getting no results from other doctors and in fact getting worse . Dr. Sexton, who is brilliant in understanding functional medicine ran lab work to help get to the root cause of major skin inflammation, gut issues, adrenal probs, fatigue...the list goes on.. Within one week of changing my diet I've already seen a big turnaround. I'm sleeping now , slowly regaining energy and my gut is healing by finding the right nutritional protocol for me. It's definitely a work in progress but well worth the time, energy, and cost to regain my health and quality of life. Highly recommend a visit here; be patient-you WILL get to the root cause of your problems and you won't be subject to prescriptions and antibiotics! It's amazing when you start to see the light and realize that all your suffering is NOT normal. Thank you to Lisa as well for your kindness , compassion , and motivation:) -Lisa Kahn

Dr. Sexton and Lisa have been my go-to team for years, addressing health issues with functional medicine. Their knowledge and expertise on how to optimize your health from the inside out, is most definitely second to none.

I went in due to chronic sleep issues and a difficult time with diet/weight. I found it to be a very beneficial experience from the diet suggestions, supplements and overall health coaching with Lisa. The issues I went in for have greatly improved and Dr. Sexton helped me to find a natural substance that allowed me to completely discontinue my HRT medication. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking to address health issues in a more natural way.

Lisa and Doc are extraordinarily knowledgeable, kind, and effective. They explain testing, cost, and treatment thoroughly - their practice is transparent, and they work patiently with my individual needs and situation. They are timely with appointments and natural and wise with treatment plans. I would recommend their practice to anyone, especially those struggling with fatigue and digestive issues of any kind.

Don't get fooled by the good reviews here. You will get one star treatment plan while getting charged 5 star. I would not recommend this place. I have been with other functional medicine doctors and they were really very thorough in their first visit and considered the whole history of the patient from childhood to the present.
I took my mother for her various chronic issues based on good reviews here and thinking that this doctor might be able to help more. However, I was wrong. He did not show interest in any of my mother's chronic issues and only focused on what he thought as her main complaint, which was her back and leg pain. Don't also waste your time filling their forms, as he did not discuss any with us.
The whole point of functional medicine is to use a system oriented approach but this doctor failed in doing that.

I was feeling pain throughout my body and had no idea why it was happening or how to stop it. I had been taking a lot of Ibuprofen for months to mask the pain. My primary MD was no help. He did a brief examination and sent me home with a couple new prescriptions. Typical response -- treating the symptoms not the underlying causes.
Frustrated, I searched the Internet for Naturopathic Medicine and found Naperville Integrated Wellness. When I read Dr. Sexton's philosophy of identifying the health problems, applying appropriate treatments without the use of drugs and allowing the body to heal itself, I was sold. After meeting Doc and Lisa, I knew I was in the right place. They are both
compassionate and caring and dedicated to improving the health of their patients naturally. It's been just under 4 months in Dr. Sexton's care and I've been off Ibuprofen for almost 2 months and I'm feeling so much better. If you're having health issues, I highly recommend Naperville Integrated Wellness.

Naperville Integrated Wellness offers a great experience with warm and caring people. It makes you feel like a part of the family..it is absolutely wonderful:)

I write this review as the wife of someone with CVID (common variable immunodeficiency.) For the first time ever, I feel like my husband is getting the level of care that he needs and deserves. Dr Sexton dives deep, and thinks critically and creatively about what is going on, instead of treating symptoms while dismissing the cause. The NIW team has been such a gift to us!

My husband was diagnosed with CVID 12 years ago. For the last 5 years, we ve discussed going to see a functional medicine practice to see if more couldn t be done to improve his health. Although his acquaintances wouldn t know it, he just wasn t feeling well: constantly getting sinus infections, having to take a lot of antibiotics, and experiencing brain fog, stomach aches, and back pain. His doctors kind of shrugged their shoulders at this. My husband was being seen by some of the best doctors at Northwestern, so he wasn't yet convinced. Additionally functional medicine is not covered by insurance, so it was always a financial question for us.

He just celebrated his 40th birthday and it was kind of a wake up call - did he want to continue to live this way? He finally pulled the trigger last fall and decided to consult with Lisa and Dr. Clint. I m happy to say that 5 months into committing to their process, their testing, and diet protocols, my husband is recovering on many levels. His stomach aches have gone away, his energy is way up, and he has been happier and more hopeful than I ve seen him in years. The changes in diet and lifestyle have not always been easy but the improvements so far have been worth every penny!

We re so grateful to NIW s rockstar team. I m so impressed with their optimism, professionalism, intelligence and thoroughness throughout this journey. I would recommend taking that first step and giving them a call to anyone who is considering it. And if you are the spouse of a patient, I highly recommend making time to attend the first several appointments together. It has been helpful for both of us to understand what is going on, get to know the staff, and learn how I can support him during this important journey. We both love visiting their office and interfacing with the staff.

I'm optimistic about the years ahead and continued improvements to come for him. Thank you NIW team for all that you do!!

After getting diagnosed by my doctor and told there wasn t much I could do but wait for things to get worse, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I made an appointment with a specialist who promptly cancelled. I wasn t a quick fix and they weren t interested in helping me. Thank goodness for Dr. Sexton and his team. Not only were they able to help me but they identified problems and that have been plaguing me since my teens. In 6 months I felt better than I have in more than 6 years. Everyone at the office made me feel seen and cared about. I felt supported the entire journey. My energy is back. My mind is clear. And most importantly, I m taking care of my body and doing it naturally. I will be forever grateful to them for helping me take charge of my health. This is healthcare done right. Thank you!!!

I started going to Naperville Integrated Wellness about 1 month ago due to nerve and muscle pain in my leg and hip pain. I was very pleased with Dr. Sexton's comprehensive approach, which included lab work, a review of my supplements, my diet and Bowen's Therapy. I hadn't been to a traditional MD in quite some time, so I was pleased that my visit included lab work to take an overview of my health. Dr. Sexton is a wonderful and very attentive doctor. He helped me to "understand" my condition, what may be causing it and a solution to fix it, which included Bowen's Therapy. I never heard of Bowen's Therapy, but I have had 4 sessions so far, and I am extremely happy that my pain has gone away! Lisa performs the Bowen's Therapy and she is a Master! I have had chiropractic care for this issue and it was not successful in fixing this problem. Lisa is someone who has your best interest at heart and is very kind and compassionate; she makes therapy very enjoyable! Katie, at the front desk, is always smiling and willing to help. I look forward to seeing her on my visitis! I highly recommend Naperville Integrated Wellness!

This place is a complete rip off and and an absolute waste of time. I went there to inquire about Hair Analysis and was told that the doctor's appointment is necessary. Their first time doctor's visit fee is USD 250++ only-- this is just to open a file. I told them that I need only a hair analysis (normal cost elsewhere is USD 70). I mentioned that I don't need a doctor to read my results. They told me to go online, as they were unable to complete the procedure without the doctor's visit. The clinic is complicated to find. Their doctor is very short and business oriented; the whole place is obsessed more about your money -- not your health. Avoid this place and go elsewhere!

I had been struggling with a hip and calf injury for several months and no amount of rest made it go away like past injuries I had experienced. I had almost resigned myself to live with that pain and not being able to walk or stand for very long until I met Dr. Sexton and Lisa. I felt better from the first session and am now happy to say that I'm pain free after a few weeks. I am so grateful to have found Naperville Integrated Wellness. They are so nice and truly took an interest in understanding and explaining my injury and helping me get better.

I came to Dr. Sexton after my diagnosis of Hashimoto's. I've also always struggled with IBS and GERD. So far it's been a wonderful experience. The time they take to sit with you and really discuss what is going on and explain testing results is unheard of in the medical world. But I guess that's why so many people are beginning to be more open to alternative medicine. They are tired of others not listening or just giving them a pill to mask the symptoms. I've been seeing Dr. Sexton and Lisa their Health Coach for over a month now and while I'm still working towards getting better, I feel very supported as their client. All in all, it's been such a relief knowing that I'm getting to the root of my issues and healing myself in a way that is sustainable. I definitely recommend and I've already told a few friends about coming here!

I left my appointment feeling relieved and with peace of mind. I felt heard and reassured. The doctor was very thorough, knowledgeable and attentive. The only unanswered questions were ones that I forgot to ask, due to my addressing so many issues and multiple symptoms. I so whole heartedly believe in what this practice is doing. I feel that it is the right way to heal people. I highly recommend Naperville Integrated Wellness and their caring staff. I am grateful to have met them and am grateful to be learning more and more about integrated and functional medicine. Thank you! Sincerely, Deanne Ciavarella

I had been having problems with my jaw and I wasnt sure how I could fix that , but I came to Naperville Integrated Wellness and had very positive results. Dr. Lisa Sexton was extremely helpful, as soon as she started working on me I noticed a dramatic difference in my jaw, my body, and my overall level of energy. I was pleasantly surprised at how effective treatment was, and I loved the atmosphere of the office. I recommend Naperville Integrated Wellness for anyone looking to improve their physical and mental health!

My first appointment was great. They are running all the tests that the MDs were not running. I'm excited about how they can help me.

This office and their approach to wellness is AMAZING! They listen, are thoughtful, and truly get to the root cause of why your health isn t optimal. I had visited 4 doctors multiple times, continuously being told there was nothing wrong, before I found Naperville Wellness. They were able to finally tell me I had an autoimmune condition related to my stomach and high histamine levels. YOU GUYS! Don t wait... go here... truly life changing... and everyone here is awesome! You will get answers, you will feel better. :)

I'm Sophia, only 19 years old, and this is my story with Naperville Integrated Wellness:
I had struggled with mainly stomach issues all my life, I went to pediatric specialists and gastroenterologists growing up but the only type of answers I received were that I may have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and acid reflux. As time went on my condition only worsened, I started getting debilitating headaches daily, had an irregular menstrual cycle, constant nausea, always unable to focus (brain fog), and had started developing dry patchy rashes on my neck and face! I would drag through everyday depressed, anxious, and in pain.. I was completely hopeless.
That's when I started seeing Dr. Sexton (the most professional and knowledgeable doctor I have ever met). He had me complete blood, urine, saliva, and stool tests; he thoroughly explained the test results and it was clear to see I was having an immune response to grains and other certain foods causing inflammation that was putting me in pain. Next, I started meeting with Katie, the health coach, she helped me with my restrictive diet, reintroducing foods, and creating healthy habits! I also started meeting with Lisa who does Bowen therapy, she deals with everything structural, including my jaw which was completely misaligned (presumably caused by my wisdom teeth removal years earlier).
In short, I have never felt as great as I do after being a patient here for only a few months!! This is absolutely THE BEST health facility I have ever been to: very thorough and organized, everyone greets you with a genuine smile and knows you by name, healthcare workers that actually know their stuff, extremely clean and even use bathrooms products for people with sensitive skin, never have had to wait before my appointment, fresh flowers at the front desk, and staff that truly want to see you feel better and succeed!
With that being said, you must be willing to put in some work to improve your condition! Be prepared for a lifestyle change (simple things like cooking different food and small exercises here and there). It can be scary and difficult at first to change, especially if you've been living the same way almost all your life, but the payoff is unparalleled and life altering! If you have chronic pain or a peculiar ailment (even if your symptoms aren't similar to mine) that other doctors haven't been able to treat, I urge you to give Integrated Wellness a call and see if they'd be able to help, it could CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!

I started seeing Dr. Sexton and his team in December of 2019. Four months prior, I had found out I had Hashimotos Thyroiditis -- I was terribly fatigued (even with 9+ hours of sleep) and had daily headaches. I had also slowly gained weight. My anxiety was through the roof and it was getting harder to do my job (stay at home mom to two little boys).I initially blamed my fatigue on being a mom -- I was busy with the boys all day, exhausted from the heat of the summer, my 5-AM workouts, but it finally got to a point where I realized something was wrong and I needed to figure out what.

For months I went under the guidance of an endocrinologist, and I just wasn't feeling any different even though I was medicated, in fact, my headaches were getting worse and more persistent. I am a very fit and active 35-year old and I couldn't make it through the day without a nap!

I finally decided I needed to go the functional medicine route, as conventional medicine just wasn't working for me (Doctor wasn't listening, brushing off symptoms, telling me to just wait for the medicine to start working). I knew I needed some relief as my fatigue was unbearable. I started working with Dr. Sexton in December of 2019 and after a month of extensive testing, I started following his protocol to relieve my systems and heal my body. By March of 2020 I am feeling AMAZING! My fatigue is gone. My headaches are non-existent. My thyroid lab results are all in range (and my TSH had started at 10.8), and my hashimotos antibodies went down to 1! I have lost 10 lbs and my anxiety is gone. Besides working with Dr. Sexton, I worked very closely with health coach Katie. She was always so thorough and made sure I had enough resources for the following week (new recipes, books to read, health tips, etc).

Looking back on my initial consult with Dr. Sexton, everything he suspected about my symptoms -- that the headaches were probably due to underlying food sensitives, and additional headache from reactivated Epstein-Barr -- turned out to be true once lab results were in. He is so knowledgeable and thorough. I do want to say that I took all their advice and followed the diet guidelines 100%, but I know that their detailed and personalized approach is what helped me get back to optimal health in such a short time.

If you told me in December that by March I would be headache-free, fatigue free, and not dreaming about my afternoon nap at 8 AM and chugging coffee first thing in the morning, I would not have believed you one bit!

Thank you Dr. Sexton, Katie, and the rest of the NIW staff for being so supportive and helpful!

I have been working with Dr Sexton for several months now and to be honest in the beginning I was skeptical. I was concerned that the process was just a way to sell supplements and just fad to get me to go down the rabbit hole of continued expenses. But after some research I decided that I would commit a specific amount of time to give this concept of Integrated Wellness a try. I quickly learned that I my concerns were simply an example how little I knew about the process of clean eating.

We began with very thorough testing, to learn what foods etc could be creating inflammation and have been carefully and methodically adding in items while monitoring any adverse reactions. The supplements have been essential to maintaining wellness while going through this kind of cleansing, reintroduction and gut repair. And yes, they are available for purchase in office but at a very competitive price compared to, say, Amazon or local stores.

Bottom line I didn't understand the process and now I do. It's not a quick fix, it's an education about total body wellness. We have specific attainable goals that are monitored and supported by regular visits.

But it doesn't end there. Every office visit I get something new to add to my education: recipe ideas that involve the new foods that I can add back in, restaurant names and ideas when I can't cook at home, personalized goal sheets for each of the new foods we add back in, coaching notes and encouraging thoughts and reminders.

Even their reminder texts about upcoming visits are personal! "Have a great weekend, looking forward to see you on Monday." This team is dialed in and invested in my education and total body wellness.

This process has made a positive change in my life and together with the team at Naperville Integrated Wellness we are creating a path for a better lifestyle that can be maintained for the rest of my life.

After dealing with some digestive and allergy issues I decided to pursue a natural method to solving my problems and I m so glad I went to see Dr. Sexton and Lisa. I was self-diagnosing and trying to fine tune my diet (I m an avid fitness junkie and diet snob)which was not getting it done. After a series of tests and visits I was able to get the foundation set for success after being very disappointed in the results I was seeing. I was also spending way too much time trying to figure things out alone. After discovering what my food allergies and sensitivities actually are with Dr. Sexton and getting on a natural supplement regimen I am starting to feel great. So much more goes into this which would take forever to describe.

NOTE: Don t go here unless you are willing to trust and go through the process. This takes time and commitment.

Great place!!!

I have been extremely impressed with Dr. Sexton and his staff from the moment I made the call. Lisa walked me through the process, gave me all of the information I needed up front, and helped me feel confident with my decision (Lisa also does Bowen Therapy and is amazing, FYI!). Dr. Sexton just blew me away with his knowledge and it all made sense after he explained my test results why I have been feeling the way I have. Spoiler alert: if you're interested in science and such Dr. Sexton is your guy and you'll want to book another session with him just to talk! Katie is also another strong, key staff member as their health coach and has been such a support for me. She has helped me to tune into myself to listen to my body as I go through the dietary changes as well as implementing some Mindfulness strategies, too.

The office staff is also amazing and help keep you on top of your appointments, if you need supplements, and they even take the time to have a nice conversation with you.

Everyone here is so compassionate, down to earth, and warm which is why I keep coming back and seeing progress.

Thank You for helping me feel better Dr. Sexton, Lisa, Katie and your lovely office staff!

It was a perfect place to relaxation and beautification. The worker give their smile and happiness to serve the client.

I wish everyone could experience what real health care looks like. This is it!!!! Dr Sexton is unbelievably knowledgeable and carefully explains everything. Lisa is a magician with her hands and helping me with my TMJ. And Kate is such a supportive health coach. In a very short period of time I've gone from the walking dead to feeling human again. I can honestly feel myself healing. To anyone even considering this I am here to tell you that you deserve to be healthy and this is the place to do it.

A wonderful company and team! Dr. Sexton and Lisa truly care about the health and well being of each and every one of their patients. They are knowledgeable and will stop at nothing to provide the very best care and service to everyone that walks through their doors. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to improve their health!

I would highly recommend Naperville Integrated Wellness. Dr Clint and Lisa worked together to help me with my desire for optimal health. Dr Clint created a plan to help with symptoms caused by inflammation. I experienced joint pain, digestive issues and poor brain function. Through nutritional counseling, Bowen Therapy and suggested supplements, my symptoms are gone. They have also helped me with illnesses that have come up along the way. From shingles to the flu, Clint and Lisa have guided me through the healing process. I consider them my "go to" people when it comes to my health.
I value their vast knowledge and experience and appreciate how welcome and comfortable I feel in their office. This type of service is not common and I am grateful.

My family and I have always had amazing experiences with Dr. Sexton, Lisa, and the team at Naperville Integrated Wellness. Their compassion and wealth of knowledge is incredible and appreciated. They were there to help when others could not. Their approach makes sense and has changed the lives of my family. Thank you for the honest and integrity based approach to caring for people.
