Laura Gujadhur: From Conventional Medicine to Functional Health
Episode Overview
Functional medicine focuses on root causes rather than symptoms. Quitting alcohol can lead to significant lifestyle improvements. A health coach can personalise your wellness plan. Sugar cravings are common post-sobriety; focus on real foods. Gentle self-compassion is crucial during recovery.
Depression is not a Prozac deficiency.
