She has some reduction in GI symptoms, but still suffers from fatigue.

I have reason for optimism, however because her HRV data is looking very promising.

This is her Stress data.  An overall decrease (with some “noise”)

This is her Complexity data.  This is Sample Entropy where higher values mean lower stress.  Often Complexity data is more pertinent in patients who are young or very athletic since their parasympathetic tone is high to begin with.
