13 \\ Being Better Everyday Health: My Functional Medicine Journey for a Personal Holistic Approach to Health and Healing
In this episode of the Being Better Everyday podcast, I am going to share with you my personal journey and the 4 steps I took to improve my mental and physical health. I will be sharing my struggles with body image, postpartum weight gain, getting different tests from different doctors, and my experiences with different types of therapy.
I am not sharing this episode as medical advice, this is to share and emphasize the importance of self-love, finding the right therapist, and taking a personal and holistic approach to health. I want you to feel encouraged to take the next right step in your physical and mental health journey, because as working moms we have a lot on our plates. This can cause us to neglect our own health or deem our symptoms as just “normal” for all that we are doing. I know I am here to live above the normal range and lean into operating optimally. I hope this episode encourages you to do the same!
