Ever felt overwhelmed by brain fog and fatigue? You're not alone - I've been there, and have discovered the transformative power of functional medicine. Join me as I host Dr. Forrest Sauer of Twin Oaks Health in a thought-provoking conversation that takes us through my personal journey from chronic health issues to discovering the world of functional medicine. We explore the key role of lab tests in unraveling the root cause of thyroid disorders and how a holistic approach can lead to genuine, lasting improvements.

Imagine a doctor who looks beyond mere symptoms and treats you as a whole. That's what functional medicine is all about and why Dr. Sauer is here. We delve deep into the intricate dance of stress, health, and the influence of the environment on our bodies. We discuss the potent triad of physical, chemical, and emotional stress and how they manifest in our health. Drawing from the fascinating concept of 'orchids and dandelions,' we highlight why health outcomes can drastically differ within the same family. We also touch upon how companies are stepping up to support employees' wellbeing in our fast-paced world.

But wait, there's more. We also take a hard look at the U.S. healthcare system, acknowledging its shortcomings in addressing chronic diseases. We share our experiences and debate the pressing need for a shift to preventive care. Then, we pivot to the dietary front, debunking myths about artificial sweeteners and exercise, and emphasizing the need to fight inflammation with powerful lifestyle changes. As we wrap up our enlightening exchange, we chat about Dr. Sauer's practice at Twin Oaks Health and the crucial role of patient education in achieving health goals. So tune in, grab a cup of tea, and get ready for an adventure in health and wellness like no other!
