Welcome to the first episode of Thrive Beyond Size! I am excited to move past weight loss as a focus because dieting causes us harm. So going forward, we're going to talk about living your beautiful and vibrant life in the body you have right now. For this first episode I talk with Christa Elza who is a board certified nurse practitioner who helps clients around the country through her virtual health practice. Christa and I talk about her functional medicine path and how hormones, lifestyle, and nutrition come together to affect our health.  How much about our body chemistry do we really know? Because our hormones, which include insulin, play a very big part in how we feel and how we gain weight. Christa works in areas like how metabolic health is affected by hormones, the clearing of blood glucose, how our adrenal gland is functioning, and the effect of stress on our bodily health. This is what our conversation explores, how hormones and hormonal imbalances directly impact our health and weight, specifically in women. Christa shares her expertise and offers insight into the quality of food we should be eating and the types of exercise that contribute best to our health, as well as explaining the root causes of what we feel when we feel it. I learned a lot from her and I hope you get as much value from our conversation as I did.About Christa Elza:Christa graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Nursing in 2000.  She was immediately drawn to Emergency Medicine and was a trauma nurse for 8 years.  She has since earned her Masters Degree in Nursing from Texas State University and is a board certified nurse practitioner in Family Practice Medicine.  She was the sole practitioner in a clinic specializing in weight loss, hormone balance, and aesthetics.  During this time she realized the tool box of what she could offer for health solutions was too limited for how she wanted to serve her patients.

What is the functional medicine approach to treating PCOS?   What tests should be run to know if PCOS is the cause of symptoms? What are the main drivers of PCOS? and more ... Christa graduated with Bachelors of Science in Nursing in 2000.  She was immediately drawn to Emergency Medicine and was a trauma nurse for 8 years.  She was able to experience working in this field in hospitals around the country including New York City and Norfolk, Virginia. Christa earned her Masters Degree in Nursing from Texas State University in 2018 and is a board-certified nurse practitioner in Family Practice Medicine.  She was the sole practitioner in a clinic specializing in weight loss, hormone balance, and aesthetics.  During this time she realized the toolbox of what she could offer for health solutions was too limited for how she wanted to serve her patients. She wanted a better way to help women achieve lasting health results.  With that vision in mind, Christa began her journey with the School of Applied Functional Medicine, learning the root cause approach to personalized healthcare. In August of 2020, Christa launched her virtual health practice, Elive Health, and is now able to provide help to women around the country via webcam.  As a functional-medicine expert, she specializes in clinically investigating underlying factors of fatigue, hormone balance, thyroid issues, digestive issues, and more.  Christa uses breakthrough diagnostic testing that's rarely done in conventional settings to uncover the hidden causes of why women feel the way they feel.   In her free time, you can find Christa spending time with her husband of 17 years, Jon, their 3 boys, + her golden retriever, Tori.  She is now living in the San Antonio, TX area and loves being outdoors, skiing, traveling, hanging out poolside, + spending time with friends.

In Episode 052 of A Medicinal Mind: Wisdom and Wellbeing, I share space with integrative and naturopathic physician, a pioneer in the field of nutrigenomics, Dr. Kelly Halderman.   Dr. Kelly Halderman completed a Family Practice Medicine internship with the University of Minnesota; has a Naturopathic Medical Degree from Kingdom College of Natural Health where she is the current Academic Dean of Students.  She holds certification in MethylGenetic Nutrition by the Nutrigenetic Research Institute and certification from The American Functional Neurology Institute in Functional Neurology and Neurofeedback.   Despite the temptation to simply geek out in the world of nutrigenomics, detoxification and chronic disease, we spend most of this enlightening conversation exploring the miraculous background and journey of Dr. Kelly.   Beginning with a walk through her early childhood, we are given a glimpse at Dr. Kelly's spiritual background, the ethos by which her first years were imbued. Sharing reflections from her experiences witnessing her father's own chronic illness, Dr Kelly provides a rather raw showcase of her first visions of healthcare, physicians and the medical system as a whole.   Stepping away from her years as a witness to medicine, she then leads us into her own years in medical school and residency, ultimately leading to her own period of suffering, disillusionment and incredible awakening into the true power of healing when one surrenders to the powers of something greater. Offering story after story of her life's journey, Dr. Kelly illustrates the foundation by which she currently practices blending her deep spiritual roots with her fascination with the quantifiable, the biochemical and the poetically physiological.   Stepping away to end our journey in the world of nutrition, genomics, and detoxification, Dr Kelly starts us off with a description and definition of nutrigenomics. From here she guides us into practical applications of how understanding one's genetic template, its current state of expression, and the nutrients we supply it impact the progression or reversal of chronic disease. Providing a solid foundation for understanding our genetic code Dr. Kelly leads us into a thoughtful explanation of how certain genetic variations or SNP's when expressed within the context of poor lifestyle habits can lead to compounding negative effects and perpetuation of chronic disease. She even gives us a sampling of some of the most common genetic variants and how she is seeking to support individuals with these SNP's suffering from a myriad of symptoms and chronic illness.   Dr. Kelly closes the conversation with an elegant summary of detoxification, including the newly understood phase 2.5, and how we can apply an evidence based approach to detoxification so that we do not end up in the world of expensive and potentially harmful green medicine.   Lastly, I am incredibly excited to announce, if you are listening to this upon its initial release, that I have just joined my amazing team of functional clinicians at the Charlottesville Center for Functional Medicine and am now accepting new patients seeking support through functional and lifestyle medicine.
