Welcome to part 3 of our discussion on functional medicine, lab testing, and chronic symptom management from a Whole-Hearted Eating Approach! In this episode we discuss how when you’re dealing with chronic symptoms or labs that are out of range, doctors place a huge emphasis on removing everything inflammatory – foods, lifestyle factors, etc. So you do it. And then you think…why aren’t I feeling better after removing the food/inflammatory factors?? Why aren’t I feeling better after trying to remove as many stressors as possible? Is it my fault because I didn’t do it perfectly?? And we talk about what to do about it instead, from our signature Whole-Hearted Eating approach.
