Individual Consulting
Jeff Wood
After a lot of research, I figured out the underlying cause of my own chronic illness, ME/CFS.
I pursued treatment and recovered. Along the way, I was forced to navigate a medical system that was not equipped to handle someone with a complex chronic illness.
After launching my story in 2018, many people with ME/CFS and other chronic illnesses contacted me, asking for individual guidance.
I now work as a consultant to chronically ill patients, as well as to researchers and MDs who serve the community.
I live in California and work with people from all over the world, thus far from: Germany, France, the Netherlands, India, Australia, Japan, Slovenia, Switzerland, Ecuador, Romania, Pakistan, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Morocco, Canada, and every geographical region of the United States.

David Kaufman, MD - internist and ME/CFS specialist - said to Jeff:
"If I were ill, I would want you on my team for sure."
A severely and chronically ill mother of three said:
"I feel such a relief...because I have Jeff, who is helping me with my medical / health problems as an advocate- and I cannot tell you how I went from total despair, to feeling hopeful!
I am so thankful, because I do not have the ability to analyze the situation and make plans to tackle all the never-ending obstacles to receiving the medical care I need.
Jeff has helped me so much with my medical care, advocating for me (and helping me advocate for myself). He is always there to help me sort out these incredibly complicated, nuanced, intricate issues...and we have a solid plan I feel so comfortable with."

Paolo Bolognese, MD - specialist neurosurgeon - said about Jeff's work:
“Exchange notes with Jeff Wood. I know these symptoms from the outside. He knows them from the inside. He is one of the most introspective patients I have ever met. And so far, he is batting 1,000..."
Whitney Dafoe said about Jeff:
"Jeff is a really sincere, good, kind man. That’s basically all I wanted to say from someone who has met him in person. He’s extremely empathetic and intelligent. It doesn’t surprise me that he figured out so much on his own."
I work with people on a case-by-case basis.
I have no financial interest in connecting people with any specific doctors.
