#8: A Counselor‘s View On Functional Health For Mental Health w/ Candace McCallister, FDN-P, Holistic Mental Health Counselor

On this episode of the FDNthrive podcast, we interviewed Candace McCallister! Candace is the daughter of a health food store owner. She thought she had health all figured out by the time she was about 13 years old. She ate lots of fruits and vegetables, didn’t eat hardly any fat, and even became a vegetarian! She was a shy and low energy child, but figured that was just her personality. Unfortunately, she started having some minor health issues which continued to get worse through her college years. This mostly involved getting an inordinate number of cavities, along with some other teeth issues. Also, she would get very light-headed upon standing, have terrible stomach cramps after eating certain foods, and suffer extremely painful menstrual cramps. Throughout these years, Candace also struggled with many low-grade mental health symptoms, including anxiety, depression, and OCD symptoms.
