My Story

My name is Jenni Gall, and for most of my life I had dealt with sickness, ear infections and pain that was always excused as normal or “just a part of life”. My mom was a stay-at-home mom and my dad was a employee at IBP in West Point, Nebraska. If my brothers and I got sick, my mom took us to the small town doctor and he would usually prescribe a decongestant, ear drops and an antibiotic. This was 40some years ago…. antibiotic use was very common as a “cure for any sickness to avoid infection”. I had all my childhood vaccines and spite all the good food my mom cooked and the quality home life, I still got sick all the time, especially every October when school started up again and I was eating school food. The processed food….commercial dairy…and surrounded by other kids who probably never washed their hands…hard to think about today! The common surgeries of tonsils and adenoids removed at an early age, tubes in my ears twice, for relief of constant ear infections. You know, all the “normal” childhood health concerns.

As I entered high school, I was developing constant stomach pains, anxiety to school situations, pains in my chest that we never did figure out. Doctor said it was probably just “growing pains”. I ended up slightly anorexic for a short period of time….but found out it wasn’t that. I was having ovarian cysts that started developing around age 14 that caused me to have a low appetite. I had surgery in 1990 to remove a grapefruit sized cyst! I felt so much better after it was removed, but they would keep coming back. So the doctor put me on birth control pills to keep the cysts from forming. Which then led me to suicidal thoughts a few years later. Everyone thought I was crazy! I now know better….

My junior year of high school I started working at the local hospital as a nurse’s aide. My job included lifting patients in and out of bed, which was very hard on my back. That is when I developed my chronic back pain that would infest my life for over 20 years. Here I was at the young age of 17 struggling with pain that shouldn’t happen at least for another 20 years! At first, the pain was not too bad, but after a few years I was seeing a chiropractor once a month….which turned into trying multiple chiropractors over MANY years trying to figure out the source of my pain. All of them were stumped.

In 1995, I was married and moved to a farm north of Howells, Nebraska where my husband and I custom fed hogs. We had built up a large operation. He also worked in my home town of West Point as a tax accountant. We had 3 kids while living on the farm. Interesting thing… each time I was pregnant, the back pain went away. That is how I knew when I was pregnant. I had crazy morning sickness, but wonderful, easy births. As time went on, I was still getting sick often, food intolerances, mood and anger issues with my husband and kids. I was facing depression, insomnia….how do you have insomnia and small kids? I managed to have that issue for MANY years.

As time went on, my back pain was increasing. My mood was out of control and it was putting stress on our marriage. Our farm ended up going into bankruptcy in 2007 with the fall of the economy right behind that. Right when we were moving to Sioux City, Iowa…my back stopped hurting….I wondered if it was because of the stress of the farm was now behind us? Nope! I was pregnant with our 4th child. After moving to Sioux City for Jeff’s new job, he found out they changed directions and he was let go. We then moved to Lincoln, Nebraska where our 4th child was born at home. I was led to have my first home birth and by this time I had decided to stop vaccinating my kids because I just KNEW there was a connection to vaccines and sickness.

Lincoln, Nebraska is where I met my circle of people!! I had become a birth doula, was drinking raw milk, stopped seeing doctors and became holistic minded! We started changing our diets and changed our thinking about health. Despite all my efforts of diet changes and seeing every chiropractor I could, my back pain was at it’s highest right after the birth of our 4th child. It was so bad that I was crawling on the floor….begging for pain pills. In Lincoln, I found an energy healing lady that did some interesting things….my back pain would go away for a few weeks at a time. I was on the right track!!! But…. Then we moved again. This time to Ogallala, Nebraska. I was completely devastated!! Now what would I do? I had to do something local, or I was going to lose my mind. I started looking for a chiropractor in Ogallala and found Vitality Chiropractic. AMAZING!!

After talking with Dr. Nick Fanning, he told me about this place his wife use to work at out in Loveland, Colorado that does Nutrition Response Testing. I made my first appointment in August 2013 and have been going there ever since! Dr. Lauren Kolowski was my saving grace. She was pretty new to it herself as a practitioner, but you would never know it. She was full of knowledge to help all kinds of people struggling with health related issues no doctors could figure out. With Dr. Nick and Dr. Lauren, I was on the right path to getting my health back! It’s been 8 years this year, 2021, and I feel better now than I ever have! All my symptoms of pain are completely gone! During those 8 years, I also saw Dr. Nick’s wife, for 2 Reiki sessions. I really believe in those 2 sessions… was the true release of the cause of my back pain. I will forever be thankful to her work!! I am now free of all my anger, depression, food intolerances, food addictions, pain, sickness, constipation, gut issues, anxiety and whatever else may pop up here and there. Nutrition Response Testing, chiropractic care and reiki have brought back my true health!

And because of my experience, I am now bringing Nutrition Response Testing to western Nebraska to help as many people as I can! Please reach out to me, and see what real health can feel like!! Get your life back!! Make an appointment today.
