Health is not one size fits all, as much as the world of conventional medicine would like us to believe! And even more confusing is the fact that health studies are changing now by the day, so what can we believe is real? What is the BEST for our bodies, and our overall quality of health + life? In this episode, I speak with Jordan Trinagel about the future of functional medicine, and how this differs from conventional medicine by revolutionizing + personalizing the experience by giving you clarity for what YOU need. By asking the right questions + continuing to ask the right questions (Hello, Curious George!), functional medicine helps you get to the ROOT cause of your symptoms and not diagnose via the “pop a pill” quick fix system that keeps us sick + suffering as a collective in a broken healthcare system. About Jordan: Jordan Trinagel grew up in Rockland County NY and received her Bachelor's/ Masters of Science degree from Towson University. She has been a healthcare practitioner working in rehabs and hospitals since 2015. She is a registered/licensed Occupational Therapist and Certified Brain Injury Specialist in the state of NY. Her professional career in healthcare and personal health journey led her to continuing research and self-education. She struggled with acne, IBS, anxiety/ depression, psoriasis, fatigue, ADHD; and after seeing many specialists, trialing medications and going through various therapy she learned about alternative, functional healthcare methods for herself and her patients. She is now the founder of Health Reconditioned; an online health coaching and consulting business where her focus is on educating people about functional medicine and using simple at home lab tests to get the root cause of your symptoms to finally optimize your health! THE REAL QUESTION ISN'T HOW CAN WE TREAT YOUR SYMPTOMS; IT'S WHY ARE YOU HAVING THESE SYMPTOMS IN THE FIRST PLACE?
