Should you see a functional medicine doctor?

It’s finally here! Episode 128 of The Diet Diaries is all about my experience seeing a functional medicine practitioner. Why I went, what it was like, what I learned and what’s next. I want to be very clear that this episode is NOT medical advice. Please consult your own physician about your specific needs. Most doctors see us as a bunch of individual parts rather than the complex interconnected ecosystem that we are and it leaves a massive gap in our healthcare. I hope this episode inspires you to get curious about your own health and helps you feel more comfortable in asking questions and getting the information you need to make the best decisions for your body. This episode is packed with information. I get very personal, as always, and share some really interesting insights and choices I needed to make along the way. Here’s what I dive into today:The three main concerns I had going in around PCOS, hypothyroid and GI issuesThe foundation of making changes to your wellbeing How I advocated for myself around my relationship with food and negative body imageThe approach taken my nurse practitioner to decide a course of treatmentEach specific test I had and whyExactly how working with a functional medicine practitioner differs from a traditional doctorHow long the process takes and what results look likeHere is a link to the functional medicine practice I'm working with.Here's the link to join us for Nourishing Notes: Summer Edition (it's free!)Connect with JordanaFind me on InstagramSign up for my weekly letter with personal stories and nutrition, body image and mindset tipsSchedule a free discovery call to talk more about working together Listen to more episodes of The Diet Diaries
