For years, I felt like a foreigner in my own body. 

I struggled with symptoms that seemed unrelated but were all impacting my quality of life – acne, painful and heavy periods, digestive issues, hair loss, bloating, fatigue, and brain fog.  

Like many people searching for answers, I turned to the solutions I was told would help. 

I was prescribed Accutane and spironolactone for acne, birth control for my periods, antibiotics for frequent illness, and other interventions designed to manage my symptoms. While some provided temporary relief, none of them addressed why those symptoms were happening in the first place.  

In many cases, the symptoms eventually returned. Some treatments left me with new side effects, and I found myself stuck in a cycle of chasing symptoms. 

Despite staying active, cleaning up my diet, and doing everything I thought I was “supposed” to do, I still didn’t feel well.  

That’s when I found functional lab testing.  

For the first time, I began to uncover why I had been struggling with these symptoms. This is when true healing started to happen.  

My GI MAP revealed an overgrowth of bad bacteria and low beneficial bacteria, helping explain years of bloating, digestive discomfort, brain fog, acne and other symptoms. My DUTCH test showed low cortisol production, providing insight into my extreme morning fatigue and difficulty getting out of bed each morning. My blood chemistry analysis revealed patterns associated with low thyroid and thyroid antibodies, helping explain symptoms related to metabolism, energy, hair loss, inflammation, and overall wellness.
