In Episode 025, you heard how my client Kristen used Functional Nutrition to address Irritable Bowel Syndrome, which probably left you wondering, “What is Functional Nutrition?”

In this episode, I explain:

• What is Functional Nutrition

• The gap that exists between a Functional Medicine Doctor and Patient

• How a Functional Medicine Doctor, Patient, and Functional Nutrition expert can work together in a therapeutic partnership

• Why standardized boxed systems, like diets, protocols or even pharmaceuticals don’t always work

• The 3 Tiers of the Functional Nutrition Framework is and why it’s so effective

If you’ve ever wondered what a health coach does, or what a Functional Health Coach does, this episode will clarify how one can help you!

In this episode, I’m joined by my client, Kristen Aigeldinger. You’ll hear Kristen share her struggles with IBS, how she came to decide to work with me, how she overcame fears to find her new normal using Functional Nutrition, what she learned that she’ll continue to do in the long-term & ultimately, how she came to feel empowered to step into a leadership role in her own healthcare.

In this episode, I’m joined by Holly Morello. Holly is a Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Reiki Master.

Holly bravely shares her health journey and how she helped her children through their own health challenges, particularly around the body + brain connection. 

She also shares insights on reiki and tapping, and how they can be used to manage stress in seemingly impossible situations.

What do gas and bloating, tummy aches, skin issues like acne and eczema, as well as headaches have in common? Well, they are just a few of the many symptoms of food sensitivities and food intolerances.

What do acne, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), anxiety & depression, unexplained weight gain, and inflammation, not to mention the seasonal allergies have in common?

In this episode, we're exploring Leaky Gut Syndrome: what it is, symptoms & some of the causes of it. I also take you on a time lapse, sharing what I believe were influencing milestones that contributed my poor gut health.

Dr Melissa is a doctor of chiropractor, a functional medicine practitioner, a clinical nutritionist and is certified in Kundalini yoga. I’m a former patient of hers, and she was THE person who introduced me to functional medicine, holistic health and natural ways of healing.

She opened my eyes to many blind spots in my health - from the different kinds of stressors, how food can be medicine and how environmental toxins impact all of us

In this official first episode of the show, I’m sharing my story and just what is Live FAB Life all about.

To not feel so awkward,  I enlisted the help of my friend and experienced podcaster, Elizabeth Fernandez to do a reverse interview that put me on the hot seat as she interviewed me!

My goal for this podcast is to have real, honest and transparent conversations on the challenges that we, as women working in the corporate world face, and how those challenges impact our health.
