52. Case Study #1: Gut & Hormone healing with D'Anna Robertson

I think terms like "functional medicine" and "root-cause approach" can be nebulous sometimes. I'm breaking down these confusing ideas with a series of case studies. I'm interviewing real clients I've worked with about their experience navigating their mysterious health conditions. Perhaps you can relate to some of the frustrations they've had. Maybe they can give you ideas of things to try that you haven't thought of before.

Today's case study is with D'Anna Robertson.

Symptoms we talk about:

• Gut dysfunction

• Chronic, cystic acne

• Anxiety

Approaches we talk about:

• Traditional medicine:

○ Feeling unheard

○ Getting prescriptions to mask medications

○ Unnecessary surgical procedures that did not identify anything of value to help her heal

• Functional medicine:

○ Why D'Anna ultimately chose a functional medicine approach

○ What the process of healing looked like for D'Anna using a root-cause approach

○How she is feeling today and why she is so passionate about sharing her story with others.
