Episode Highlights:
[00:56] What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is all about finding what's really causing your health issues instead of just covering up symptoms. It digs deeper than surface level to see what's actually going on inside your body rather than just treating what you can see. Providers want to get to the why instead of just the what. They take a whole-picture look, like how your nutrition, stress, sleep and other lifestyle stuff might be affecting you. Then they help even things out so your body can do its thing in the best way.
[20:14] A Holistic Approach to Common Health Issues
Joya takes a holistic view with common issues like insomnia, headaches, and menopause changes. Instead of just masking symptoms, she uses thorough testing to find root causes like nutritional gaps or hormone imbalances. This lets Joya address health issues at the core through personalized lifestyle and eating plans. She doesn't just cover up what's happening but gets to the bottom of it.
[25:01] A COVID Spark for Questioning Old Ways
Joya discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic may have caused some folks to double down in fully trusting mainstream views. But for others with inquisitive minds, it sparked questions about things like the government's true aims and Big Pharma's role. People open to rethinking issues started connecting more dots. This "mind-opening" led some down the path of checking out alternative approaches like functional medicine.
[35:48] Check Your Products the Easy Way
Joya talks about how apps like EWG Clean Living and Think Dirty can help folks out. You can scan barcodes right in the store to see if products got any nasty chemicals or hormone messing stuff. She recommends scanning beauty and cleaning items to find better options. By taking a couple extra minutes to scan, you can shop smarter for your wellbeing.
