I began a quest to figure out what was going on with my body and how to heal it. I saw numerous conventional doctors and functional medicine prcatitioners. It wasn’t until I discovered Functional Diagnostic Nutrition that I was able to dig deeper and discover my own hidden stressors and the root causes of the dysfunctions my body was experiencing. As part of the certification process, we ran functional labs to investigate for healing opportunities within my body. It became clear that what I thought was a healthy lifestyle was actually taking its toll on my body. I was pushing my body too hard with exercise, not sleeping enough, not managing my stress well and not eating what my body needed. The tests revealed sex hormone imbalances, cortisol that was tanked, a suppressed immune system, numerous food sensitivities, leaky gut, a gut pathogen infection, liver congestion and high oxidative stress.
