Linda: “My anxiety is greatly reduced and much more manageable”

Patient Stories

Anxiety is a major – and growing – public health concern, with an estimated 31.1% of U.S. adults experiencing an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives*. Linda was one of those people – and she was tired of living with anxiety.

So when the 67-year-old yoga and meditation facilitator from Newcastle, Oklahoma, heard about Dr. Cas, founder of Evoke 5 Medical Center, she reached out.

“I wanted a different approach as to how to manage my anxiety and address any physical issues that may have contributed to it,” she shared.

Linda’s personalized functional medicine treatment plan included hormone replacement therapy, supplements for immune and gut health, and tools for anxiety management.

“My anxiety is greatly reduced and much more manageable,” Linda stated. “I have a lot more energy to enjoy my daily activities. It is taking some time, but this more cause-based, rather than symptom-based, approach to medicine is healing my physical imbalances.”

In addition to the positive results she has experienced, Linda also appreciates how Dr. Cas understands the importance of collaboration between doctor and patient. “He listens to me, and I feel supported and heard in all ways.”

Linda is also grateful for Dr. Cas’ functional medicine, whole-person approach. “He supports my healing using more holistic and comprehensive approach to my overall health,” she said. “Dr. Cas’ approach incorporates all aspects of his patients. He understands the connection of body, mind and spirit, and understands that all of these work together to create an overall healthy person.”

Reduced stress, more energy, and the feeling that her health and well-being are fully supported by her physician are reasons that Linda whole-heartedly recommends Dr. Cas to others.

“I always recommend Dr. Cas to anyone who discusses their health or general well-being with me,” she said. “I feel so grateful that Dr. Cas is my doctor. My health is improved just knowing he is my physician.”

Dr. Cas believes in the power of healthy, happy communities and has dedicated his career to creating that – one patient at a time. Every patient he helps is another life changed for the better, and he’s honored by the trust his patients place in him. Dr. Cas measures his success based on his patients’ success in overcoming health challenges and living their fullest, healthiest lives. If you’re looking for a functional family medicine doctor who will take the time to listen and get to the root cause of your health concerns, please get in touch with Dr. Cas at Evoke 5.
