Today’s episode topic is one that may feel a little uncomfortable, but it’s something I see time and time again in the holistic and functional health space: the obsession with finding the root cause.


I’m diving into why healing doesn’t always follow a linear path, how it looks when you get caught up in trying to ‘fix’ yourself and obsess over every.single.thing, why leaning into self-awareness can be the most powerful tool in your healing journey, and more.


You might never find that elusive ‘root cause’, but that’s okay! It doesn’t mean that you’re broken - your progress still matters, even when it’s not showing up on a lab test.


If you're ready for personalized support that’s rooted in guidance (not judgment), our 1:1 program might be the next step for you. We’re currently accepting new clients for May 2025, and would LOVE to walk alongside you on your healing journey!
