Gut Issues and Hormone Havoc: My Chaotic Health Journey
from My Verbal Journal: Let’s Chat · host Maci Jones
Today I open up about my journey with gut and hormonal health—from repeated antibiotics in college, to misdiagnoses, birth control struggles, hormone havoc, and discovering Hashimoto’s. I share how years of stomach issues, anxiety, and hormone imbalances were all connected, and why advocating for yourself in the healthcare system matters. Thankfully, functional medicine finally connected the dots and I am on a path to healing. If you’ve ever felt dismissed or stuck with “band-aid” solutions, this episode is for you. It’s not all in your head, you deserve to get to the root cause and heal properly and permanently.
