(Gut, Insomnia, Low Libido, Fat, and Fatigue). Despite numerous doctor visits and unhelpful prescriptions, he quickly learned that modern medicine with pharmaceuticals couldn't help him heal. That's when he decided to "own his health" and turned to functional medicine. Through functional diagnostic testing, Rich figured out the root cause of his problems, stage three adrenal dysfunction. With a combination of supplements, stress reduction techniques, diet, and exercise, Rich was able to heal from the inside out.
