So you were told everything is normal yet you’re bloating like a balloon and exhausted everyday.
Sound familiar?
I see this all the time with women who work with me. And no, being that miserable is not normal, it’s not all in your head (how can it be when it’s visible?!), and it’s not just part of being a woman.
First of all, I love that everything was normal. Please rule out serious things first. But when nothing thankfully shows, that’s not the end.
It means it’s time to look elsewhere: functional health. As a functional health practitioner, I look at the bigger picture and at imbalances you won’t have tested in standard care.
So what’s driving the bloat and exhaustion (or insert any accompanying symptoms)?
➡️Gut imbalances. This can be anything from low beneficial bacteria, overgrown pathogens, inflammation, leaky gut, poor digestion, and more. I take the guesswork out by using comprehensive stool testing that gives us a complete picture
➡️Stress and/or lifestyle. It’s crucial to look at the big picture of your life because you can’t out supplement fight or flight. “But Laura, I’m so busy”. I get it. There are things in life we can’t just walk away from. That’s why I work closely with my clients to help them bring in micro regulation practices to support their body and stress response.
And if you say you’re too busy, that’s all the more reason you truly need this work. Your body is begging for it.
On the other end of this is wearing the outfits you love again, the confidence you never imagined you’d have, spontaneous plans, energy that lasts through dinner, and truly supporting your body on a deeper level to restore your health again.
