The Importance of a Holistic Approach to Health With Debora Genovesi

For about a decade Deborah got progressively sicker with migraines, insomnia, IBS problems, neck and back pain, sky-high cholesterol, obesity, and fatigue so severe she could barely function. Deborah desperately tried to find any doctor or cure to help, but it felt like she was running on a hamster wheel with no relief. Some doctors thought she was a hypochondriac. Others wanted to help but didn’t know how. She was poked and prodded, telling her symptoms over and over again to doctor after doctor. They put her through a battery of stressful tests for everything under the sun and ruled them out one by one: multiple sclerosis, lupus, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, “slipped” disks, celiac, ulcers, Crohn’s, appendicitis, heart disease, lung disease and more.
