    96: A Conversation with your Body | What Really Drives Autoimmunity

    The Immune Reset Blueprint is officially live, and wanted to give you a special preview from inside the course. I designed this for all my autoimmune warriors, because when I was diagnosed, I was given no solution. My journey into functional medicine began because of my experience. I wanted to share a sneak peek from the first lesson. It’s a reminder that healing begins when your body feels safe, not when you push harder. If you’re joining us for the reset, don’t forget: the live kickoff call is today at 3pm EST.

    94: Can Red Light Regrow Hair? I Tested It on Myself

    Is red light therapy the real deal for hair loss... or just another overhyped trend? In this episode, I share my personal experience testing red light therapy on my own scalp — what worked, what didn’t, and what I wish I knew before starting. I break down the science behind how red light (a.k.a. photobiomodulation) stimulates hair follicles, what the research actually says, and how to use it safely and effectively at home. If you're struggling with hair loss from Hashimoto's, stress, hormones, or aging — this video is for you. ▶️⁠Red light therapy I use: https://amzn.to/43TKmNV What you’ll learn: – How red light therapy works – My honest results using it for hair regrowth – What device I used and how often – Who may benefit from it ▶️Join the book launch wait list: https://taraquintana.com/bookwaitlist ▶️Quintana Functional Wellness - Masterclass link: https://taraquintana.com/register-ig ▶️Immune Reset Blueprint: https://taraquintana.com/immuneresetblueprint Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/thefunctionalnursepractitioner ▶️Do you live in Indiana?

About

Do you suffer from a chronic disease? Are you tired of feeling bad? Has traditional medicine left you feeling lost? I am a board certified Family Nurse Practitioner who believes in the utilization of both conventional and functional medicine strategies in order to provide a more comprehensive approach for optimal health. Functional medicine is a systems biology approach that looks to uncover the root cause of illness in order to improve or even reverse chronic disease. If you love learning about your body and how to improve your health - this is the podcast for you!
