Real stories. Real people. Real struggles.
Living with fibromyalgia, severe depression, anxiety and other health issues, I wanted a safe space for people to feel heard in what life throws our way. Join us as we learn of different health journeys and the significance of mindset; how mental health is interconnected in all aspects of our lives; and the importance of filling your cup.
We laugh, we cry, we grow and completely Unf$&k our health together.
Thanks again for listening!

41. Paige Lynch, N.P. - Functional vs. Conventional Medicine & Nervous system dysregulation
Our bodies are remarkable. They tell us when we're sick or when something is wrong while simultaneously working on how to bring it back to equilibrium. Being aware of what our bodies are telling us is important. This episode encompasses many aspects of the health realm.
It was great to get to know Paige and hear her story. She started her career as a firefighter/paramedic and after experiencing her own health crisis, Paige shifted from conventional medicine to functional medicine. As a nurse practitioner and a certified functional medicine practitioner, she works with patients to help uncover root causes and in creating a plan specific to the patients' needs.
Show Notes:
Paige and I cover a range of topics such as:
- Differences between functional medicine and conventional medicine
- Nervous system dysregulation and the role of cortisol in our bodies
- Hormones
- Importance of being aware of our bodies
