Have you been curious about functional testing, and wonder if it’s the path you should pursue to optimize your health? If so, today’s episode is for you! 


I’m excited to give you a behind the scenes look at a compelling client case study, and what it really looks like to work with our team. This particular client was doing all of the ‘right things’ when it came to her health and wellness, but she was still experiencing a variety of frustrating symptoms. 


I’m sharing my insights on what the hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) and GI map stool tests can reveal, the 4 crucial macro minerals, parasites and how they affect hormones, the root-cause approach we used to heal this client’s gut and hormones, and more.


If you’re constantly dealing with debilitating gut and hormonal symptoms, your body needs support. Taking a root-cause approach with a game plan tailored to what YOU need is vital, and that’s exactly what we do at Fueled & Free Nutrition!


Our brand new, 8 week Jump Start program can help you begin this process, and be on your way to feeling strong, healthy, and confident. We want to help you say goodbye to your hormonal symptoms, and take back your health - for GOOD!
