If you go to your doctor with symptoms, they'll give you drugs to manage those symptoms without addressing the root causes. It's no different than going in to the hospital with a nail stuck in your foot, and instead of pulling the nail out, they just give you numbing cream for the pain and tell you to deal with it for the rest of your life. So who is really qualified to help you get to the root causes and how does education vary from one health care provider to the next? This episode is dedicated to helping you understand the differences between western and functional medicine so you can pick the best health care provider for you, when you need them the most.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: The history behind natural medicine The dark history of Western Medicine and Big Pharma The education diffferent health care professionals get Root causes vs symptom management How to know who you can trust with your health   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Is your vitamin D "deficiency" actually a misdiagnosis? In this eye-opening episode, Tara dives into one of the most misunderstood nutrients in functional medicine: vitamin D. While most practitioners rush to prescribe high doses of vitamin D based on a single lab marker (25(OH)D), Tara challenges the status quo and breaks down why this approach can be both misleading and harmful, especially for women in perimenopause.  She explains the critical difference between 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)₂D, why elevated active vitamin D (1,25) often goes unnoticed, and how it can actually suppress your vitamin D storage while driving up inflammation, calcium loss, and even contributing to autoimmune conditions and bone loss. This episode is a must-listen if you've ever felt confused about whether to supplement or if you've been taking vitamin D long-term without fully understanding how it works in your body. In this episode we cover: The difference between storage vs. active vitamin D (and why you must always test both but your practitioner likely hasn't) The issues with vitamin D testing that scientists are hotly debating (can you even trust your lab result?) What is the optimal reference range for vitamin D? And why ranges are terribly inflated and many are not to be trusted. What really drives down vitamin D in the body and how to come at this from a root-cause perspective instead of drowning yourself in vitamin D supplements If you're thinking about taking D, already taking D, or have been told your vitamin D is "low" (it likely isn't) then this one is for you.   Mentioned in this episode:

Today, Michael sits with Dr. Thom Lobe. Thom is the founder of the Regenevéda clinics in Chicago and Los Angeles, which focus on advanced hormone therapy, anti-aging medicine, and regenerative medicine. It was during his early childhood battle with Legg-Calve-Perthes that exposed Thom to a diverse range of doctors and hospitals, igniting his passion for the sciences. His work as an attending surgeon at the Shriners' Burns Hospital gave Thom a great understanding of advanced nutrition, metabolism, hormone therapy, skin care, and regenerative wound healing. In 2008, he opened Regenevéda, utilizing functional medicine and integrative practices that emphasize the relationship between the doctor and patient, the innate healing ability of the body, and the importance of addressing all aspects of an individual's life to attain optimal health.  Highlights from Michael and Thom's conversation include:  -A powerful moment Thom witnessed as a surgeon where prayer, not protocol, changed a newborn's fate, revealing the influence that belief and consciousness play in recovery -Stem cell therapy and how a teaspoon of your own fat could hold the key to reversing aging, disease, and inflammation -The types of stem cells, their benefits and potential, and how they're used in personalized medicine -Balancing hormones, miracle peptides, and the science behind modern vitality -The importance of the healing relationship between doctor and patient, and the need for compassion, baby steps, and real-life conversations when guiding patients toward change -From scalar waves to consciousness as the ultimate medicine, connecting the dots between spiritual alignment and physical well-being, and more! Next, Michael leads a guided meditation with a focus on health and vitality. Learn more about Thom's work at Regenevéda here https://regeneveda.com/.

We're always on the look out for new benefits to offer our Tribe Sober members So these days apart from coaching, hypnotherapy, art therapy and accountability groups we can offer our members a functional medicine coach. A Functional Medicine Coach can help us with the transition between drinking a building a healthy lifestyle.  We all know vaguely what we need to do to be healthy but a Health Coach will personalise that plan for you and then ensure that you put it into action! So Tribe Sober's new Functional Health Coach is called Laura Gujadhur  We began by clarifying the difference between functional medicine and conventional medicine. Laura explained that conventional medicine is disease management and treatment of symptoms whereas Functional medicine looks at the root cause of disease An example would be going to a conventional doctor with a rash – that doctor would be unlikely to ask you about your diet, your stress levels and whether you've had allergy tests -he would probably give you a cream to calm down the rash but he wouldn't have got to the root cause of whats going on So functional medicine looks at the root cause of disease and illness and starts from there Conventional medicine is something we resort to when we are already sick Whereas functional medicine encourages you to work on your health so that you don't develop chronic diseases… You become the architect of your own health Laura's interest in health and wellness began about 5 years ago when she quit drinking A member of her family was diagnosed with depression and immediately put on anti-depressants which didn't sit well with Laura About that time she had stumbled across a book called The Ultra Mind Solution by Dr Mark Hyman In this book he explains that when he heals someone's gut and sorts out the imflammation the cognitive function improves and depression and anxiety go away As an ex nurse married to a doctor this came as a revelation to Laura – they never learned anything like this in medical school Laura decided to approach functional medicine in the same way that she had approached sobriety – she would read everything she could get her hands on After all Annie Grace's book “The Naked Mind” had been such an eye opener for her and made her realise that Big Alcohol are inundating us with false messaging Her research into Functional Medicine made her realise that conventional medicine was simply driven by Big Pharma and that she had been naïve not to question it during her medical training and career. Laura's decision to quit drinking for a month came after a party when she woke up with a hangover and thought…enough She white knuckled her way through the month and used the time that she saved (by not drinking) to read everything she could. Her belief systems around drinking had already been overturned by The Naked Mind and she realized that she couldn't go back to drinking Laura threw the book at her sobriety and like so many others who have succeeded she treated it like a job. She told her husband she wouldn't be entertaining or going anywhere for three months as she wanted to concentrate on her reading. We all learn differently so it can be helpful to reflect on our personal learning style as we approach the difficult task of giving up alcohol and learning to navigate society without it. There are 4 distinct learning styles identified by Honey & Mumford in 1986. Activist Theorist Pragmatist Reflector So we all learn how to navigate our alcohol free journey in our own way and shouldn't be comparing our progress with others… just keep trying and it will come together. Back to Laura.  What I found interesting was the fact that once she'd done all her research and reading she was absolutely ready to make a firm decision and her mantra was:- "Never Question the Decision" I think that's such a helpful strategy which will stand her in good stead if she has a craving or is under pressure from others to drinking… She approached her sobriety with the same gusto and enthusiasm that she used to approach her drinking- focusing on what she was gaining rather than losing by leading an alcohol free lifestyle. However Laura did go into full blown sugar addiction when she quit drinking and wishes that she'd had a functional health coach teach her how to transition which would have resulted in her feeling a lot better sooner. These days Laura is qualified as Functional Health Coach. She talked about the 4 pillars of health Diet/Exercise/Stress Reduction and Sleep and emphasized that a Health Coach could ease the transition into the alcohol free lifestyle and help to avoid a cross addiction. As she said we all know broadly what we should be doing to stay healthy but the value of a health coach is that she will ensure that you implement and stick to the right eating plan and exercise regime. We agreed that coaching is super valuable to keep people on track - especially for women.  Laura feels that many women tend to focus on what they haven't done rather than focusing on their achievements She said that anyone who has joined Tribe Sober should be proud of themselves,  just admitting that they may be a problem is a huge first step.

In today's episode, I take you through the evolution of my coaching methodology, the Anti-Macro Method, and how it's adapted over the years to better serve the needs of my clients—especially as I've grown into a functional health practitioner. From its roots in intuitive eating and the hand portion method to its new focus on gut health, hormone balance, and sustainable habits, the AMM has become a flexible, client-centered approach to nutrition that helps people make empowered food choices without obsessing over calorie or macro tracking.Why I Embraced the Anti-Macro Approach:Starting from my own struggles with restrictive eating and disordered habits, I explain why I walked away from traditional macro tracking and embraced a healthier, more sustainable way of nourishing my body.The Anti-Macro Method: A Blend of Flexibility and Structure:Learn how the Anti-Macro Method uses tools like hand portions, food photos, and intuitive eating to build balanced, nutritious meals without requiring clients to track every calorie or gram. It's about creating long-term habits, not short-term fixes.My Journey into Functional Health:As my clients' needs grew to include gut health and hormone balancing, I sought additional education to better serve them. This led to the evolution of AMM to include more tailored nutritional strategies, including fiber-rich foods and symptom journaling.The Benefits of Food Journaling and Hand Portions:I discuss how food journaling (especially photo food journaling) became an essential tool to better understand clients' nutrition, as opposed to relying solely on hand portion tracking. This method allows for deeper insights and greater client success, especially for those struggling with gut and hormone issues.The Anti-Macro Method Today:With a deeper focus on fiber, hormone health, and practical nutrition solutions, I share how the Anti-Macro Method continues to help clients create lasting results without the pressure of obsessive tracking or perfection.Personalization: The Anti-Macro Method is about giving clients the flexibility to choose a method that works for them—whether that's hand portions, photo food journaling, or intuitive eating.Sustainability: The approach encourages structure and balance without the stress of counting every calorie or macro. It's about long-term progress, not short-term perfection.Empowerment: I emphasize the importance of developing a relationship with food that is based on trust, mindfulness, and self-awareness.CONNECT WITH COACH DIANAIG and TikTok @coachdianaleighEmail: coachdianaleigh@gmail.comExplore 1:1 coaching and other offers: https://www.coachdianaleigh.com/offers

We often think of gut health as a matter of diet. What we eat, how we digest, and how we eliminate. But what if your digestive issues, bloating, or IBS symptoms aren't just physical? What if your gut is holding onto unprocessed emotional trauma, stress, and nervous system dysregulation? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we're joined by Christy Nault, a root cause health practitioner and founder of Hormone Glow Up and Microflow Healing. Christy sits down with Elisabeth and Jennifer for a powerful conversation about the connection between trauma and gut health, and how healing begins not with food, but with safety in the nervous system. Together, we explore how chronic stress, childhood trauma, and perfectionism deplete our minerals, disrupt digestion, and throw off our hormones, metabolism, and mental health. Christy shares her own story of living with POTS, IBS, endometriosis, and mass cell activation syndrome, and how her recovery began through parasite cleansing, circadian rhythm regulation, and somatic healing. This episode isn't about a one-size-fits-all gut protocol. It's about understanding the gut-brain connection, why your symptoms may keep returning, and how nervous system regulation, emotional integration, and personalized healing can restore your health from the inside out. If you've struggled with leaky gut, autoimmune symptoms, histamine intolerance, or protocols that didn't work, this conversation offers a grounded, compassionate path forward. Topics discussed in this episode: ● The gut as an emotional and sensory organ ● How chronic stress depletes minerals and slows digestion ● Parasite cleansing and root-cause gut healing ● Why top-down protocols often fail without nervous system regulation ● The impact of childhood trauma on long-term health ● Gut-brain axis, emotional suppression, and vagal tone ● Circadian rhythms, blue light, and hormonal regulation ● Emotional digestion vs. food digestion ● Somatic tools for safe and effective healing ● Why small daily shifts create the deepest change Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching program: neurosomatic.com/leadership   Learn more about Christy Nault's work at: Website: christynault.com Instagram: instagram.com/itschristynault Learn more about the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching program and sign up for the fall cohort now: neurosomaticintelligence.com Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: rewiretrial.com Find Trauma Rewired on YouTube: YouTube.com/@TraumaRewired Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use our exclusive offer: drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

If you're struggling with acne, breakouts, or dull skin, this episode is for you.  In the functional health world, we see skin issues not as isolated surface problems but as signs of deeper internal imbalances. I'll walk you through the five core systems I assess when working with clients dealing with chronic acne. From gut health to hormones, blood sugar, liver detox, and nervous system regulation.  You'll learn how issues like leaky gut, hormonal imbalances, or poor liver detox can manifest as inflammation on your skin. I also dive into the role of insulin resistance, stress, and environmental toxins in making things worse. Instead of quick-fix treatments, we focus on targeted strategies like comprehensive stool and hormone testing, food and supplement protocols, and lifestyle shifts that actually address the root cause.  I'll also share what I look for in test results, what symptoms matter most and what you can start doing now to support clearer skin from the inside out.  Whether your breakouts are linked to PMS, stress, or digestive issues, you'll leave this episode with clarity and next steps.

Your thyroid is not just “another hormone”—it's the maestro that sets the tempo for your whole body, and it especially needs love as progesterone drops in perimenopause. But here's the problem: so many practitioners still miss the real story. If all you've had checked is your TSH and you were told “it's normal,” you could still be sidelined by sluggish thyroid symptoms—because so much more is happening under the surface. A full thyroid panel really matters. That means pushing for TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies. But it doesn't stop with testing. You need someone looking at your labs with a functional lens (the ‘optimal' prevention-focused ranges, not just “fine for the average population”) and someone who understands the nuances—like how stress, inflammation, and gut health all play a role in your thyroid feeling sluggish. Here is what we cover in this episode: Top Symptoms of Hypothyroidism: Think constipation, hair loss (even in your brows!), feeling chilly all the time, low libido, dry skin, stubborn bloating, and more. If you nod along to two or more, this episode is for you! Why “Normal” Thyroid Labs Can Still Mean Trouble: Many women have labs that come back “normal,” yet their symptoms scream otherwise. I explain why that happens and what labs you actually need. What a Full Thyroid Panel Really Looks Like: Most practitioners aren't running the full panel! I spell it out for you (hint: it's more than just TSH and T4). Reverse T3—The Missing Piece: This marker is rarely tested, but it tells you if your thyroid hormone is actually getting into your cells where it belongs, or if it's being blocked! The Role of Gut Health and Minerals: If you want lasting thyroid health (and overall well-being), you have to zero in on gut health and the minerals your thyroid loves—spoiler: copper is way more important than you think!   You may also enjoy this episode: EPISODE 43: All about thyroid health with Annabel Bateman EPISODE 114: Thyroid health in midlife: post-illness autoimmunity/hypothyroidism, why TSH will rise with iodine & this is OK, progesterone & thyroid health & more!   LIVE TRAINING: The Perimenopause Reset: From Exhausted to Energised.

In this rich and revealing episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz welcomes the legendary Sally Fallon Morell, author of Nourishing Traditions and founding president of the Weston A. Price Foundation, for an eye-opening conversation that blends ancestral nutrition, holistic health, and spiritual alignment in today's toxic food and medical culture. Together, they unpack the roots of nutritional wisdom, challenge mainstream health narratives, and dive into controversial yet essential topics including raw milk, vaccine injury, the decline of small family farms, and why butter (not margarine) belongs on your plate. Sally also shares the spiritual significance of honoring the body as a temple, discusses the dietary crisis facing modern society, and offers practical advice to reclaim your family's health.   Critical topics include: • The difference between raw milk vs. pasteurized milk and the science behind why raw milk supports digestion, immunity, and childhood development • The impact of vaccines on child health, including SIDS, chronic illness, and Sally's perspective on medical freedom • The decline of small family farms and why local, regenerative agriculture must be preserved • Why traditional animal fats like butter, liver, and fish eggs are essential for hormonal health, fertility, and brain development • How processed foods, protein powders, and synthetic vitamins are silently damaging our population • Sally's perspective on the spiritual roots of nourishment, including Biblical insights into food, the sacredness of the body, and how nutrition aligns with God's design • The legacy of Dr. Weston A. Price and the principles behind his research on indigenous diets and generational health • Practical tips to start your real food journey, like the one-minute fix that could radically improve your family's health: making your own salad dressing   Jamie also opens up about her personal transformation from following mainstream health advice to finding healing through the Nutritional Therapy Association and Weston A. Price teachings—especially after a vaccine injury in her own family. The episode ends with a bold, hope-filled vision for the future of food, faith, and functional nutrition, including Sally's call for churches to reawaken to the importance of the body as the temple of the Holy Spirit.   Whether you're an NTP, parent, homesteader, church leader, or just someone seeking truth in a world of health confusion, this episode will inspire and empower you to live nourished, informed, and aligned—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.   Resources Mentioned: • Weston A.

In today's episode, I'm diving deeper into what functional wellness actually means — and why I believe it aligns perfectly with God's design for our bodies. Functional health isn't just about nutrition or hormone balancing — it's about understanding that your body was created with wisdom and the ability to heal, if we give it the right environment. I walk through how stress, sleep, toxins, gut health, and spiritual depletion all contribute to the symptoms we've normalized — and why so many Christian women in leadership are running on empty, feeling like their bodies are broken. You are not broken. You are brilliantly made. And there's a better way forward.   I hope this episode blesses you!

Are you navigating perimenopause or menopause while also managing chronic health conditions? Or perhaps perimenopause has triggered an underlying, previously dormant issue? Traditional healthcare may not be enough to combat the symptoms, but do not fear! Today's guest is here to teach us how your nervous system, immune system, and hormones can all work together to support healing and longevity. This week, host Jenn Trepeck is joined by Dr. Jessica Drummond, Founder and CEO of The Integrative Women's Health Institute. Together, they explore how seemingly “silent” chronic conditions like endometriosis, pelvic pain, autoimmune disorders or even long covid, can complicate menopause—and what you can do about it. Dr. Drummond shares her insights on calming the nervous system, building metabolic health through nutrient-dense habits, and using tools like heart rate variability (HRV) to guide recovery. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: (00:00) The impact of menopause on silent chronic conditions(05:44) Dr. Jessica Drummond reflects on her professional journey in the chronic condition space(11:11) Common underlying chronic conditions affecting menopause(16:08) Discussion of the silent underlying conditions that can manifest later in life(25:43) Calming the nervous system to heal in a consistent way(30:50) The importance of your metabolic health in the form of nutrient-dense food, strength training, walking, hydration and circadian rhythm(32:09) Discussion of heart rate variability, recovery, and developing the art of sitting quietly(41:36) The importance of working with a health coach to plan for the future of your healthKEY TAKEAWAYS:Menopause and perimenopause symptoms can be overwhelming on their own. Still, when layered on top of chronic conditions like endometriosis, pelvic pain, autoimmune disorders, or post-viral syndromes (e.g., long COVID), it creates a compounded health challenge. Traditional training often overlooks the role of nutrition, nervous system regulation, and lifestyle in healing. Chronic conditions—especially during perimenopause—require a personalized, holistic strategy.Healing during menopause doesn't require drastic changes—small, consistent steps matter most. Start where it feels easiest, like mindfulness, nutrition, or gentle movement. Recovery and nervous system regulation are just as important as action. Tools like heart rate variability (HRV) can help track progress, showing that true resilience comes from balancing effort with rest.Integrating the nervous, immune, and hormone systems is the key to living a longer, more active, healthier life. When these systems are balanced and working together, they support overall well-being and longevity.QUOTES:         (10:04) “In my traditional physical therapy training, nutrition was not emphasized as a healing tool. It was more like you needed adequate nutrients to perform certain physical activities, but we didn't think about it from an anti-inflammatory standpoint.” - Dr. Jessica Drummond(13:59) “Research shows us that acute illnesses like infections trigger chronic diseases.” - Dr. Jessica Drummond(22:36) “It's exposing these underlying things that have been lying dormant, that we just brushed aside or pushed through because they weren't really standing in the way of us doing the things that we wanted to do.”  - Jenn Trepeck(40:19) “I think we make these plans expecting perfection, planning for this optimal, ideal day that never happens. So put these things in place so they happen even on the days where we don't feel a hundred percent, even on the days where nothing goes as planned.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramUse Your Heart Rate Monitor to Improve Your Health                GUEST RESOURCES:The Integrative Women's Health InstituteIntegrative Women's Health  - Podcast Integrative Women's Health - PubMedInnovative Approaches to Chronic Pain with The Anodunos Method TeamGUEST BIOGRAPHY:Dr. Jessica Drummond, DCN, CNS, PT, NBC-HWC, is a leading expert in women's health and the Founder and CEO of The Integrative Women's Health Institute.

Send us a textWhat if the crushing fatigue, the anxiety, the brain fog, and the constant crying aren't mental health issues at all—but signs your client's body is depleted and screaming for help? The truth is; Postpartum depression  symptoms mimic postpartum iron deficiencies and postpartum anemia. This episode takes a bold look at one of the most underdiagnosed, misunderstood, and easily missed causes of postpartum “depression”: anemia. We're breaking down how iron deficiency, B12, and folate depletion can mimic mental illness in postpartum women, and how so many providers are missing the signs. If you're a postpartum provider, doula, midwife, nurse, or any practitioner supporting postpartum women—you cannot afford to overlook this conversation. We're talking labs, clinical clues, testing gaps, and holistic strategies to support deep, root-cause healing.Check out the episode on the blog: https://postpartumu.com/podcast/is-it-postpartum-depression-or-postpartum-anemia-ep-212/Key Time Stamps: 00:00 – The misdiagnosis of postpartum depression01:40 – What is anemia, and how is it connected to postpartum?03:19 – Overlapping symptoms of anemia and depression06:05 – Ferritin levels and common signs of deficiency07:27 – Maranda's personal story of missed anemia09:23 – Why most checkups aren't helping moms10:43 – What labs to run + strategies for healing13:09 – Iron absorption + practical supplementation tools15:00 – Signs to look for when “depression” isn't depression15:35 – MTHFR, genetics, and what really matters16:36 – Empowering providers to support real postpartum healingNEXT STEPS:

Christopher is the founder of Recovery Health Coaching. He helps clients recover from chronic illness, improve chronic pain, and deal with the limitations of their conditions. He does so with principles from neuroscience, behavior management, and personalized lifestyle and supplement approaches from a Functional Health perspective. He developed this system while reversing his 35 years of autoimmunity and severe neuropathic pain and successfully working in intensive one-on-one sessions with over 100 clients. Christopher's personal journey includes conquering numerous conditions that plagued him for over 30 years, including interstitial cystitis, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic headaches, and severe neuropathy in 85% of his body. At his worst, the pain was so severe that he would stay awake for over 30 hours per wakeful cycle and relied on numerous medications including max-dose morphine and multiple muscle relaxers for nearly 10 years. His recovery approach has been primarily meat-based for over 7 years, beginning with the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) in 2017 and then transitioning to a Keto diet. His comprehensive recovery also incorporated about 30 other interventions including lifestyle changes, mindset work, neuroscience techniques learned from former Mayo Clinic doctor Jim Lemons, and Functional Medicine principles. Today, Christopher is medication-free and physically active, lifting weights 4-6 days per week, running sprints, and going bouldering regularly. He has restored his testosterone to optimal functional ranges after measuring below 200, lost significant weight (from 242 pounds to 160 pounds), and regained his former height after postural issues had left him three inches shorter during his 15 years of disability. Christopher is currently developing two online courses focused on nervous system health and universal health principles, co-hosting the upcoming weekly podcast "Recover Your Health," and writing a book with Dr. Jim Lemons about using integrated principles to achieve optimal results with chronic health problems.

In this episode, Tara Thorne breaks down why keto and carnivore diets are not ideal for women in perimenopause—especially when it comes to gut health. She explains that carbs aren't the enemy, and cutting them out can actually worsen gut imbalances, leading to long-term inflammation and poor health. Tara discusses how restrictive, low-fiber diets may offer short-term relief but ultimately harm the gut microbiome. She emphasizes the need for a diverse, plant-rich diet to support healing and calls out the importance of working with a practitioner who understands functional gut testing and nutrition. Her message is clear: you can eat carbs, support your gut, and feel better.   What You'll Learn in This Episode: Carbohydrates and Weight Loss Understanding dysbiosis and its contribution to gut symptoms. The role of bacteria in gut health and the production of beneficial or harmful metabolites. Diet Recommendations for Gut Health Potential systemic health problems of Keto and Carnivore Diets, including inflammation, dementia, and cancer linked to poor gut health. Importance of proper stool testing and guidance from a gut expert for determining gut health issues.   Your health didn't decline overnight—it took decades of stress, diet choices, and life events to get to this point. True healing requires commitment, patience, and consistency. The women who succeed are the ones who stay the course, even when progress feels slow.
