“The last couple years have been really tough with my son, Jei. He was diagnosed with ADHD, affecting everything from his focus, sleep, memory, social behavior, emotional regulation and his ability to succeed in school. I didn’t want to rely on meds, but his situation was acute. He behaved aggressively and with extreme anger - like his brain was on fire. A few times a week, he would fall on the floor - thrashing, screaming and crying. His anger would lead him to do things like throw his desk across the class room. When we sat down to talk about it, Jei said he tried to breathe and calm himself, but just couldn't control it and didn't know what to do. He was at risk of being kicked out of an amazing private arts school that we worked hard to get him into.

Jei's pediatrician directed us to The Franklin Family Wellness Institute. Under Dwight Franklin’s care, Jei really turned things around. Dwight addressed diet and supplementation to heal Jei’s gut, and ultimately his brain.

We saw results immediately but three months in, he was a different child. Now, a bad day is rare. I get two thumbs up and "Jei had an excellent day" from his teacher when I pick him up from school. I am so grateful to The Franklin Family Wellness Institute for seeing our family through a really tough time.”

“Dwight Franklin and FFWI have completely changed our lives!

Our son is 8 and has always suffered from excessive high energy and excitability, always had a very hard time focusing on almost anything, and his grades were severely impacted starting 2nd grade. We started with FFWI in January 2022 and now in April we have a completely different kid.

He's getting all A's and B's, his teacher has commented how much he's grown and changed, he's excelling and succeeding like never before! We are not constantly telling him to calm down, he can be involved in activities without totally losing all self control, and the best part is it's all natural and he's not being pumped with a bunch of drugs.

Seeking Dwight's help was the best decision we've made for our son!!”

“I am so excited to leave this Review for The Franklin Family Wellness Institute. The work that we have done with FFWI and Dwight has been life changing for our family.

Our daughter had major outbursts of anger and aggression daily. She would cry to me hysterically that her “brain was making her make bad choices” and it was… she said awful things to us, would slam her door and kick it as hard as she could, I was sure the door was going to shatter. The entire family (she has two younger siblings) were on eggshells, always. This angry, impulsive behavior had been going on for basically as long as I could remember. There was never a good day, there was barely a good hour.

I knew something was different about the way my daughter behaved and learned but her teachers, pediatrician, friends and family disagreed, suggesting she was just being rebellious and misbehaving. I was given an outpour of parenting tips and moms to follow on Instagram. I did finally take her to see a highly recommended therapist with no results at all, even after many visits. This was no surprise to me. I was sure her brain chemistry was so “off” that she was unable to control her behavior regardless of how many calming techniques she had in her toolbelt.

We were also seen by a behavioral pediatrician who diagnosed our daughter as being "twice exceptional" ADHD (hyperactive type) and gifted. I was told that “if things get worse” I could come back to discuss medications.

Months later I stumbled across an article written by an MSOM (Masters in Oriental Medicine), Dwight Franklin, founder of the Franklin Family Wellness Institute. Dwight specializes in children’s brain health, more specifically children who have ADHD, Autism, ODD, amongst other conditions. In this article, was a brief description of everything I had been searching for in a holistic caregiver. Somebody who would focus on finding the root cause of symptoms, instead of the typical “cookie cutter” treatment based on a diagnosis.

For us this eventually included genetic and neurotransmitter testing, food allergy testing, and a comprehensive stool analysis. Through this process, and a course of modules provided by the Franklin Family Wellness Institute, I learned a great deal; including how the brain and gut are directly correlated with behavior.

While we had tried several supplements in the past, nothing had ever made a impact on our daughter’s behavior. After implementing a few minor changes (such as adding a specific form of magnesium) our daughter’s angry outburst practically vanished overnight. That was several months ago, this is a process that requires an amount of patience for an educated trial and error.

We have since made the necessary dietary adjustments, mild lifestyle changes, and added supplements as needed. Today, her anger is still a thing of the past. Our daughter is thriving at school, has become an active big sister, she is helpful at home, and has developed the ability to regulate her emotions.

I am forever grateful for having Dwight in our life. He has a unique ability and passion to share his knowledge with his patients to assure they have a full understanding of the why behind their child’s symptoms and his recommendations. He is an impeccable listener and will truly hear what you have to say. My only regret is not finding him sooner.”

“The Franklin Family Wellness Institute has been of invaluable support since the beginning of my journey. Initially feeling alone and having to navigate things on my own, their services have been a godsend in guiding me through the challenges of raising my autistic son. Their course is incredibly insightful, providing a wealth of knowledge that has made me feel more informed and less overwhelmed. The customized approach, the invaluable learnings, and the materials provided have genuinely shifted my perspective on how to best support my child. I am sincerely grateful for this program, and I believe that every state could benefit from having more professionals like Dwight Franklin.”

“I was referred to The Franklin Family Wellness Institute by my best friend and I am so grateful for that.

They have made so much progress with my 8 year old son, who was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2. Dwight Franklin is very personal, accommodating, and patient. My son loves going to him.

His teacher has noticed a huge difference in his behavior since he started their treatment process. His reading test scores increased by 90 points this year! Typical growth is only 20 points!

I started seeing him as a patient myself and he has helped me immensely as well!

You will never find a physician like this one, who takes his time to find the underlying issue and fix our bodies from within. He does not just throw medicine at you to cover up the true issues.

The results are noticeable.”

“The gratitude I felt yesterday was tremendous as I sat in a meeting at my son's school where we reviewed his progress from last year to now!!!

We have been seeing the Franklin Family Wellness Institute for about 5 months and yesterday was a testament that their guidance has helped my son tremendously.

My son has improved drastically in his focus and has even excelled in areas of his education where he was falling behind.

THANK YOU Dwight Franklin!!!”

“The Franklin Family Wellness Institute is nothing short of amazing. Their care has demonstrated the power, not only in proper dosing of the RIGHT supplements, but their kind, compassionate, empathetic way of communicating and handling my son has made a difference in ALL of our mental health at home.

Our child had polarizing OCD and anxiety, to the point that functioning was incredibly difficult for him. Anyone who knows what this is like to watch their child suffer can understand what it does to the entire family. Dwight Franklin has been my favorite person on this entire horrible journey that my child has had to experience because he is so encouraging. He's has diligently worked with us to help our child. We are still on this journey, but I am FORVER grateful for this physician!

You will find, with him, that he is not in the business of pushing expensive supplements or selling his own line. He doesn't use fear tactics to try to coerce you into buying anything, which was my past personal experience with holistic-minded healthcare professionals. Dwight Franklin gets that this is REAL life, and he understands that things take time. I appreciate him so very much and consider it a blessing to have had the opportunity to work with this fantastic physician. This one TRULY cares about his patients. 100% Recommend! You won't regret it.”

“I wish I could give 10 stars!

A big thank you to Dwight Franklin for his life changing work!

My son was diagnosed with Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome by a GI Doctor, and he was put on various medications, all of which made him so much worse. He would throw up so much, that he lost an alarming amount of weight. The doctors didn’t know what to do. We went to doctor after doctor trying to find answers. We have worked with almost a dozen doctors, and little to no improvement for my son.

When we found Franklin Family Wellness, we immediately knew we were in the right place. They got to work and were determined to get to the root of the problem for my son. They did various tests, and started treating with supplements according to what his tests showed he needed. Almost immediately, we saw a huge improvement. My sons vomiting is greatly reduced and is getting less and less as the weeks go by.

It is amazing to see our son so happy and joyful and so much healthier and gaining weight so well! FFWI tested and researched and pinpointed exactly what was needed. Our son is like a brand new person now. He is so happy and playful!

Dwight Franklin is invested in his work and genuinely cares for his patients. We thank God every day that we found him! You will not regret using his services.

Thank you Dwight for giving us hope!”

“Our two girls (7 and 9) started seeing Dwight Franklin a year ago for sleep issues, anxiety, eye tic, allergies, etc. He put the girls on herbal medicine individualized for their bodies/needs/personalities and we have seen such healing and relief. My daughter who typically suffers terrible seasonal allergies from January to June had ZERO issues this spring. ZERO. My daughter's eye tics are gone. And so many other amazing things have happened since we started seeing Dwight Franklin. Take your child (ren) ASAP!”

“We are thankful to have found the Franklin Family Wellness Institute to help with overcoming our daughter’s eczema.

It’s been a journey from the time she was two months old and developed severe eczema on her face. By the time she turned three years old she was in a state of constant pain. The eczema had moved to her legs, bottom, tops of her feet, stomach, and arms. She was constantly itching and waking up most every night in pain. We’d find blood stains on her sheets. The itching was so deep and frequent, parts got infected.

The first time we met with Dwight Franklin he assured us we could get her eczema under control. He ran the right diagnostic tests to better understand the root cause and develop a treatment plan.

By her fourth birthday she has been free of eczema. Where her skin was once dry, itchy, and red is now soft and clear.

Following the protocol has not only rid the eczema, we’ve noticed a difference in her hair and her disposition. She is overall a much happier little girl.

My husband and I would highly recommend working with The Franklin Family Wellness Institute. They have been a huge support to our family and we are thankful for their expertise.”

““Dr. Dwight is a real find! He's an excellent Eastern Medicine Physician, but he really treats the whole person. He has worked with my teenage son on his overall well-being, with a focus on his mental health. He has helped him see the connection between his diet, exercise, health, and mental well-being. He is an excellent sounding board, a non-judgmental listener and an advocate for the whole family. My teenager not only tolerates this treatment, but actually looks forward to his "fine-tuning" sessions each week--that is the best recommendation I can make. Working with Dwight is one of the best investments I can make in my son's well-being. You won't be disappointed.””

Christine Haskins
