Ep 65: Why your gut and metabolic health is important during menopause

The Real Ex's continue with another episode with Stacy Marie, RN, a double board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (AGACNP-BC). Sofie and Amy visit Stacy at her new office to continue talking to the resident functional health expert for the podcast. They dig into Sofie’s first 90-minute visit with Stacy. They talk about not only gut health, but also how there is more to HRT than estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.  Stacy is a double board certified Family & Acute Care Nurse Practitioner with a gift for making intricate functional medicine interventions simple, accessible and manageable. Stacy Marie Ronquillo, NP, brings over 17 years of healthcare experience, including more than a decade spent in the fast-paced and demanding environment of the emergency room. During her time in the ER, she witnessed the immense challenges patients face when navigating the conventional healthcare system. Time and again, individuals arrived at their breaking point—often because they lacked the proper guidance, preventive care, or time with their primary provider to address issues before they escalated. Stacy’s firsthand experience revealed a troubling pattern: patients waiting for hours in overcrowded, stressful environments, only to receive temporary solutions that failed to address the root cause of their concerns. Many would return to the ER weeks later, caught in a cycle of frustration and uncertainty. The same issues were prevalent in primary care, where rushed visits, long wait times, and one-size-fits-all approaches left patients feeling unheard and unsupported, without a clear plan to address their health. Motivated to provide a better solution, Stacy founded Remedy Functional Medicine to redefine healthcare through a functional medicine lens. Her practice is rooted in the belief that every patient deserves time, understanding, and a personalized approach to care. Stacy’s mission is to bridge the gaps in conventional medicine, offering a compassionate and empowering approach that ensures patients never feel like a number. Through Remedy Functional Medicine, she delivers the kind of care that prioritizes connection, clarity, and lasting results.
