    Feeling stuck with chronic symptoms, normal test results, and no clear plan? Rita De Michele speaks with Functional Medicine health coach Chloe Barrett about why healing can feel so fragmented when providers do not communicate, and how an integrated care team approach can help you finally connect the dots.
