GUIDANCE TO HELP YOU REACH YOUR GOALS

A Note From Dr. Al

Making lifestyle changes is hard. So is fighting disease. Or struggling to find motivation because you’re constantly tired and sluggish. 

When I was diagnosed with cancer, my outlook was bleak. I was given 3-6 months to live! I had to make the best choices I could, knowing my life was on the line. Not without trial and error, I found a formula that allowed me to regain the quality of my life. This balance of prioritizing my diet, getting restorative sleep, limiting stress and moderate exercise help me extend my life. It will work for you too! Don’t wait until you’re facing illness.

Plus, you’ll get a copy of 9 never seen before Better Belly Blueprint recipes and a food guide that helps you decide at a glance which foods should be eaten regularly, in moderation, or avoided.

Give Them a Try

In August of 2019, Dr. Al Danenberg found himself in hospice care, waiting to die. He had been diagnosed with incurable multiple myeloma the year before, and retired from his 40+ years long career as a periodontist. Choosing to reject chemotherapy, and using his knowledge of the medical field, he created his Unconventional Cancer Protocols, designed to support the body’s natural healing process.

By May 8, 2020, his PET Scan showed no active cancer cells, and he was feeling better than he had in years. But cancer doesn’t define his story.  Dr. Al has devoted his life to helping others regain control of their health. Now, he’s using what he’s learned to help you learn to thrive – metabolically, physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually.

Dental & Gut Health Improvement

"I heard Dr. Al on the Fundamental Health podcast and was intrigued by his story. This is a guy who was already doing a lot of things right, and had been for a long time, and still he got cancer! How he has survived, and even thrived since his diagnosis was inspiring. I signed up for a free consultation with Dr. Al, and subsequently for his 12-week 1:1 Coaching Program. I’m so glad that I did! Dr. Al began as a conventionally trained dentist and periodontist, and before receiving multiple functional medicine certifications. I learned the oral and periodontal health is a strong indicator of general health, and more specifically gut health. In the three months I worked with Dr. Al, I changed from a paleo / whole foods based diet to a mostly carnivore diet. I used specific supplements to improve my microbiome, and went from bleeding gums and periodontal pockets to no bleeding and no pockets. Even without adding any exercise to my routine I lost about 10-15 pounds - most of it visceral fat! I highly recommend Dr. Al’s 1:1 Coaching Program. I can’t think of a better way to find your health baseline, and get an actionable plan for improving it! - Dan R.

A Wealth of Information

“My experience with Dr Danenberg has been amazing! He is not only knowledgeable and offered me a wealth of information, but is an inspiration. He went above and beyond in our consultation to make sure I found the best qualified local professionals to help me with my dental problems, but answered my questions and provided information about diet and supplements to help heal my leaky gut and reduce inflammation. Dr Al is one of those rare individuals who is kind of heart and generous with his support. Thank you Dr Al!" - Carol L.

Best Bedside Manner I've Ever Encountered

"When I got on the consultation, Dr. Danenberg had notes already prepared for our call. This preparation really allowed us to get into the "meat" (pun intended) of the conversation and really talk about what was ailing me and the potential solutions. We discovered issues that no one else had been able to find and tell me about. Dr. Danenberg's bedside manner was the best I have ever encountered, and my spouse and I both left the conversation, looked at each other, and said "This was the best doctors visit/consultation we've ever had" - I left with very tangible next steps for healing, a feeling of hope and encouragement, and many new insights into my health that I have never heard about before." -Tyler P.

Great Support on the Road to Good Health

“Working with Dr. Al Danenberg has been so helpful in getting my health back on track. I've used his 12 week coaching program due to a severe periodontal condition. Not only did he support me in getting connected with a local dentist (what to look for), but has also conferenced with my dentist regarding the work he and I are doing together in healing my gut. He has coached me around my diet, fine tuning it, plus supplements. I really feel I am on the road to good health because of his coaching." -Celeste R.

Leader in Integrative and Functional Medicine

“I highly recommend Dr. Al as one of the leaders in integrative and functional medicine. His nutritional coaching program has greatly improved my overall health and shifted my mindset about health for the better. He guides you through the whole process and he is always available to answer your questions. I have gained valuable lessons that I will use for a lifetime.” – Dr. JP

Educational, Encouraging & Inspiring

I’d had enough of conventional medicine and gradually began switching to an ancestral way of eating several years ago thus taking my health (and well-being!) into my own hands. Didn’t know I needed or wanted a health coach until I heard Dr. Al being interviewed by Paul Saladino and others on YouTube. We connected. And not only did he better define my own program, he educated, encouraged and inspired me to step it up many notches outlining an array of not just hacks or tweaks, but quite likely remedies to some of my current health conundrums. He has a well- founded and ever-expanding knowledge base of the science and the good sensibility to optimize the immune system and thereby increase the chances of restoring foundational health. Thank you, Dr. Al for agreeing to work with me through the spring season. Be assured that I continue to forge on wholeheartedly! - Tieci M

Improved Energy, Better Sleep

I started to apply the recommendations of Dr. Al the next day after our first meeting. I had done a ketogenic diet a few years back, so I knew that there’s a change in how you feel. But I didn’t expect it to be so fast. My energy levels are way better, now I wake up with energy and it lasts until I get sleepy, which is fast (usually it took me at least an hour to fall asleep). 10 days into the program and I feel great, I already have lost more than a 1 kg of weight. I started fasting some time ago but now is way easier to go over 20 hours without eating. I would lie if I said I’m not impressed “- Mauricio Flores Quezada

Multiple Myeloma Survivor

"Dr. Al has been a pleasure to work with! I came to Dr. Al with a reasonably hefty health problem - bone marrow cancer – multiple myeloma. I continue to appreciate his advice and have not heard anything from him that I disagree with. And to be clear, I have no problem disagreeing with people. In addition to an abundance of top-notch advice, his attitude is fantastic and uplifting. I absolutely believe in his Better Belly Blueprint diet as well as his well-studied advice on which supplements are worth it, and which are not. I feel good about the amount of research Dr. Al has done on healthy living. There are few people I would consider his peers in this matter, and I know of none of them that you can easily consult with. Those of us that have Dr. Al in our lives are blessed." _ Craig H.
