33. Shae Leonard - Functional Medicine, Listening To Your Body, & Ditching The Medicinal "Band-Aids"

Meet Shae Leonard: A certified Physician Assistant, practicing functional medicine health coaching as a mental health, hormone and gut expert! Shae was first introduced to functional medicine at a young age by her mentor and Aunt, Dr. Cynthia Coor, while struggling with a variety of health concerns at the age of 16 years old. After seeing countless specialists and a myriad of prescription medications that led to side effects and worsening symptoms, at the age of 17 years old she began to advocate and research for herself, which ultimately led her to pursue medicine as  a career as a way to help those with a similar story. Years later, she met her friend and mentor, a functional medicine specialist and pharmacist who ran specialized testing and found various root causes of the symptoms she was experiencing. Personalized protocols for hormone and gut reset, quickly led Shae to being free of brain fog, exercising daily, sleeping through the night and experiencing little to no GI complaints with energy for days. She has been forever changed by this experience and knew she needed to use this knowledge to help others. Shae began to practice in Psychiatry where she learned how to optimize one's genetics, improve mental health resilience through meditation, amino acid therapy, sleep hygiene, nutrition and exercise.
