Her health journey started in her twenties, when she was dealing with chronic migraines, sometimes 3 to 5 a week. At 28, she experienced a migraine that lasted an entire year, along with insomnia, brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, and more. After being told she would have to live with it, she took a different path and turned to functional lab testing. That’s where she uncovered deeper imbalances and was able to fully resolve her symptoms. Now in her mid-40s, Kim feels better than she did in her 20s and 30s and helps others do the same by identifying and addressing the root causes of their symptoms.
