Kenton Anderson, ND - Schaumburg, Illinois

I do not usually write reviews but, Dr. Anderson has deserved one for a long time. My husband and I have been seeing him for almost 3 years. If you feel hopeless and are looking for a place to start, I would recommend Dr. Anderson.

I have a long history with treatment using solely Western medicine for acne and other conditions. Speaking to acne treatment specifically, I was on a number of long term antibiotics, birth control and even two rounds of Accutane during my teenage and early adult years to try to heal it. Unfortunately, these medications would leave me with worse acne when I went off of them and also left me with a series of other issues including gut issues, extremely dry and flaking skin, dermatitis, debilitating muscle and joint pain, insomnia and nightmares. By the time I started to try a more holistic approach to my health, I was already nearly 2 decades into my health struggle and knew that it could be a long and difficult road to try to restore my health.

I had worked with many other practitioners before Dr. Anderson, including some holistic ones. There was always a lot of promise of success but, after months or even years with each practitioner and no real results, I was frustrated. With Dr. Anderson's methods, I found success in just a few weeks with some of my most debilitating conditions. For example, 7 years of debilitating muscles spasms ended after just 2 weeks of eliminating potato and cane sugar from my diet. Three years of severe nightmares about insects, ended in a week with a homeopathic remedy given by Dr. Anderson. Lifelong anxiety was diminished for me by at least 50% using Neurofeedback treatment administered by Dr. Anderson. My husband has had good success as well. Lifelong bloating and gas issues diminished significantly for him after finding out that he was in fact a Celiac. These are just a few of the successes that we have had in working with Dr. Anderson.

Dr. Anderson is there to support you on your health journey. He also has a plethora of outside resources to offer you if he does not have the answer himself. He has recommended both my husband and I books, health retreats and even other practitioners to help us get back to a state of health. As I said, if you feel hopeless and are looking for a place to start, I would recommend Dr. Anderson. He truly wants his patients to get their lives back. I do not even recognize the person I was 3 years ago and so much of that is thanks to the help of Dr. Anderson.

I am so glad I found Dr. Anderson! Last year in December I started having some stomach issues….2 months of constipation, bloating and pain. I went to my PCP and as usual, all my labs and tests came back normal. As someone who has had stomach issues for many years now, I decided to seek an alternative type of doctor on the holistic side and came across Dr. Anderson. I did the stool test and the food intolerance test and he explained to me in detail the results. He is approachable, friendly and very knowledgeable. Along with following his recommendations based on the tests (going gluten free, avoiding potato in my case) and the supplements he recommended, my bloating, pain and constipation have stopped. My nails which have always been weak and brittle have started growing strong! My skin seems to be clearing up a bit and just recently my anxiety has decreased tremendously. I am so thankful I decided to do this route and take charge of my health. 😊 What we consume is so important for our health and I encourage anyone who is struggling especially with gut issues to work with Dr. Anderson. *Down below is a picture of my strong nails that I am still amazed I have.*

My diagnosis of hypothyroidism dates to the 1990s, which can also contribute to symptoms such as fatigue, exhaustion, and weight gain. I have been experiencing significant frustration with my medical doctor as I have been consulting her for several years regarding the same issue. Since thyroidism can also be a contributor to these symptoms her suggestions were always pointing to the thyroid and would order lab work to ensure the medication was lining up with the TSH levels. Also, her response would be that it was 'normal' to feel this way at my age and I should consider intermittent fasting as a solution to my weight gain as she was walking out of the exam room.

Of course, the lab findings indicated normal results. However, my time was wasted as she showed no willingness to help me. It was an eye-opening experience with the healthcare system, and I was committed to identifying the root cause of my persistent discomfort. I researched naturopathic and found Dr. Anderson who shared his story with hypothyroidism in his introduction. I was hopeful that he could help find the root cause of my problems and help me feel better. The initial questionnaire was a bit overwhelming, however, I was impressed with how thorough it was.

He requested lab analysis, which revealed that I had multiple food intolerances and low levels of certain vitamins. Fast forward a year later, I have learned the food that I was eating was causing my symptoms. By modifying my dietary choices and avoiding foods that I have an intolerance to, I successfully achieved a weight loss of 50 pounds within a span of 10 months!! I feel so much better that during the busiest time of the year at work I am experiencing a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

Additionally, I was extremely impressed with the exceptional level of communication upheld by Dr. Anderson throughout the entire year. All my inquiries were promptly addressed through direct communication with Dr. Anderson. This stands in complete contrast to my encounters with my medical doctor. I have been so impressed with my results that other members of my family have also started to see Dr. Anderson. My 16 y-o daughter is experiencing anxiety and stomach pains and we just started to see him regarding her symptoms. We quickly discovered the foods she was eating was the culprit for her as well. I am considering an evaluation for my 13-year-old son to address attention issues that are developmentally ‘normal’ for his age.

The downside of all this is that most insurance companies do not cover these services. I am fortunate to have an HSA to help pay for the expenses and am thankful to have this benefit as Dr. Anderson has changed my life.

Dr. Kenton Anderson did a great job of helping me get my health under control. Under his guidance I lost 26 pounds to get my BMI close to the normal range and I am only a few pounds away from normal. I look and feel so much better and the plan he set up for me was quite easy to follow. Also, my A1C is the best it had been in several years. I feel so much better overall because he was not only concerned with my physical condition, but my emotional condition as well. I recommend him very highly!

Dr. Anderson has helped identify, consult and fix on going issues with my health. I’ve had to change 2 doctors prior to finding Dr. Anderson because they simply weren’t helping me at the root of my issues. They just prescribed things that had nothing to do with fixing the issue and caused more harm. Dr. Anderson took the time to help me find the root and go about tackling it at its core. I will highly recommend Dr. Anderson if you’re looking to not just put a bandaid over your health issues, but rather actually fix it and change your life!

Dr. Anderson is amazing. He helped me resolve digestive issues that I had been dealing with for years which totally changed my life. I feel better, have more energy, sleep better -- and all without prescription drugs. Plus, he's just an incredibly amazing person who truly cares about his patients. He is totally the BEST!

Dr. Anderson was able to guide me to the proper way to lose weight and bring my glucose levels closer to where they belong.
I still have a ways to go but I am confident with the guidance I am receiving from Dr. Anderson, I will get there. I went from 292 down to 252 pounds and will continue steadily dropping as it has already. My A1c has dropped from 9.4 in April of 2022 to 6.0 on October 7, 2022. Triglycerides from 415 to 272. CRP from 2.82 to 0.65, LESS PAIN! My blood pressure has gone down as a bonus, and it cut my bp meds in half, and hoping to get rid of more.
I was very unhealthy, but not so much anymore!
If you are at a crossroads health wise, you should definitely go see Dr. Anderson. He has put me on the right road and he can do the same for you!
Thank you Dr. Anderson!

I visited Dr. Kenton Anderson when I was struggling with horrible carpel tunnel and tennis elbow. Nothing seemed to work from therapy to at home exercises touted with great success. He suggested I pay him a visit to experience a different kind of focus on healing. I'm so glad I did! Dr. Anderson did not simply focus on the pain I was dealing with in both arms, but did everything from a completely holistic perspective. Emotional, mental, physical, history and more. He also ran some tests that gave me such enlightening insights about how my body processes foods and the impact it could be having on my pain and other physical struggles. I took his advice to heart and committed to making changes in my eating habits. After 30 days, the pain in my arms was completely gone! I went for over 6 months dealing with pain and feeling frustrated that this may have to be "my new normal". No, pain does NOT have to be your new normal. If you've only tried traditional means, please, pay Dr. Kenton Anderson a visit. There is always another way, and his is amazing!
