Episode 68: Why You Still Don’t Feel Your Best: Hidden Infections, Cortisol, and Food That Heals with Dr. Kim

If you’ve ever felt like something in your body is “off”, low energy, lingering symptoms, or not quite feeling like yourself, this conversation will help connect some of the dots.  In this episode, I’m joined again by Dr. John Kim to explore some of the hidden factors that can impact how women feel day to day from underlying infections to stress hormones and everyday nutrition choices.  Together, we talk about:  What hidden infections like Lyme disease and MCAS can look like, and why they’re often overlooked  How chronic stress and cortisol impact energy, weight, and overall wellbeing  The role of methylene blue and how it’s being used in functional medicine conversations  What a supportive, balanced breakfast actually looks like for sustained energy  Why whole foods matter and how to simplify nutrition without overwhelm  Dr. Kim brings a root-cause perspective to health, helping women move beyond surface-level solutions and better understand what their bodies may be signaling.  This episode is for the woman who is paying attention to her health, asking deeper questions, and ready to support her body in ways that feel sustainable and aligned.  Because feeling better isn’t about doing everything, it’s about understanding what matters most for your body.  Connect with Dr. Kim  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yoonhangkim   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/georgiaintegrative   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yoonhangkimmd/   LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/yoon-hang-kim-md-mph-6308597/   Website: https://www.directintegrativecare.com/   Book: https://www.amazon.com/Tao-Healing-Georgia-Integrative-Medicine-ebook/dp/B00QFJSFJ8/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2C7EVI69LXMIJ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.qe2QC2rwDohgfjalDW-iGA.UbbWltbBTk5xd4dQ2Q8nbE5CKLjZjcY2_ugYudeZhbg&dib_tag=se&keywords=tao+of+healing+georgia+integrative+medicine&qid=1766488848&sprefix=tao+of+healing+georgia+integrative+medicin%2Caps%2C231&sr=8-1     Connect with Denise of Working Moms Redefined:    Catch full episodes and subscribe to The Working Moms Redefined Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WorkingMomsRedefined    Click here for the 9 Minutes a Day for a Lifetime of Connection Masterclass!     Listen to The Working Moms Redefined Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio and Amazon Music.
