Hey, You're Gonna Be OK
Hey, hey, I'm Elizabeth Mae, and my functional health practice helps people heal when they’ve exhausted traditional options. I was once stuck, with no one who could figure my health challenges out, but now my team helps you resolve symptoms and restores your health by identifying the root cause. I love talking to people and helping health seekers bridge the gap between fear of an alternative healing model and your end goal of returning to the health you once had! Join me as we explore first-hand stories of healing chronic illness from a root cause approach. Through compassion, empathy, and a whole-system approach, this podcast will empower you to unlock your body's capacity for healing.
