I thought this was just how life after 40 felt… until I found functional medicine. 

In my late 40s, I noticed a significant shift in my energy, ability to sleep through the night, weight gain around my midsection despite being hungry all the time, joint pain, hot flashes, mood swings, and my period stopped. I thought I was in menopause and wondered if this was how I was meant to feel for the rest of my life. So, I pushed harder, worked out earlier, felt even more hungry—and nothing changed.

Then, I found functional medicine… phew! I began to support myself better through diet and exercise by letting up on the gas. I worked on—and still do—slowing my brain down through deep breathing and grounding. Labs allowed me to quit guessing and address the root cause of my symptoms. I began balancing my body’s vitamins, minerals, thyroid, and hormones.

I also decreased the toxicities within my body using Ayurvedic and functional medicine detoxes, and detoxed my surroundings to reduce the accumulation of toxins in my body. My rain barrel went from overflowing with toxins to accepting and using the vitamins, minerals, and dietary support my body needed.

Today, I have consistent energy all day, sleep well most nights, have stopped having hot flashes, feel satiated between meals, and have found a balance and peace that I never knew existed.

Let’s find your balance together! This is where you can start.
