Patient Stories
Montana F · Fort Lauderdale, Florida
The text that started it all
This story began with a text message Montana sent after her latest blood work:
“I actually have great news TSH , T4 & T3 are all in normal range with out levothyroxine and the decrease of Ptu. I am waiting on more result. But I think it’s positive news and hopefully off medication completely.”
I asked her if she would like to share her story and she gladly said yes. Here is her story.
What brought you to seek care, and what were you struggling with before we started working together?
“I was diagnosed with an auto immune disease called Graves Disease. I have been on a block and replace regime for almost 4 years. I really wanted to heal the root cause of what was causing this. I didn’t want to go down the surgery route and I was tired of experiencing symptoms.”
What was your experience like during your sessions or treatment?
“My first session was great. Valencie really listened to me and the herbs she prescribed me to take really started healing my insides.”
How has your life changed since beginning treatment?
“I have been going consistently for 2 months. Everything overall has improved. My energy is great and I feel more balanced within my body. My thyroid doctor started to take me off my medication and my body is now functioning like a normal thyroid. I am only on one pill a day from 3 so hopefully the continuation of acupuncture and herbs I will be medicine free soon.”
Were there any lab tests or results that show your progress?
“Yes my thyroid test showed improvement”
Would you recommend Valencie Exceus to someone you care about? Why?
“Yes , she is such a kind and caring soul. She actually listens to you and works on what you need.”

A note from Valencie
With complex health challenges, I can usually get a feel for the type of results a patient will experience based on readiness and willingness. I credit a lot of the results to Montana’s unwavering will to be healed. Her determination and consistency made all the difference.
This is a perfect example of the importance of integrative medicine. She worked closely with her medical doctor and with me, and both of us were aware of what the other was doing. This is the vision I had for what practicing this medicine could look like in twenty years, when I first started practicing twenty years ago.
