#85 - The Root Cause Hiding in Plain Sight with Dawn Galagan-Rodriguez: How Metabolic Health Drives Real Healing
What if the real key to weight loss isn’t just diet and exercise, but restoring your body’s natural balance? In this episode of The Charyse Williams Show, Charyse welcomes functional medicine nurse coach Dawn Galagan-Rodriguez to reveal why metabolic health is the missing piece in lasting healing.
Dawn shares her powerful journey from research and bedside nursing to holistic health coaching, and why she believes true change happens when we address root causes, not just symptoms.
Listeners will gain clarity on the difference between simply losing weight and actually getting healthy, why “calories in, calories out” is an incomplete picture, and how embracing supportive therapies can unlock better energy, lower inflammation, and long-term resilience. If you’ve been frustrated by doing “all the right things” without results, this conversation will show you there’s another way forward.
