Email from one of my fuctional medicine instructors, and I agree 100% ⬇️⬇️

"Functional medicine is pseudoscience."

That's the excuse lazy practitioners use to avoid accountability.

They dismiss functional ranges while using conventional ranges that were derived from a chronically sick population.

They call nutritional intervention "unproven" …

While prescribing medications that manage symptoms without ever asking why the symptoms are there.

They mock preventative health …

While seeing the same patients return every 8 weeks with the same complaints and the same prescriptions.

And they feel justified …

Because they have a degree on the wall and a system behind them that rewards treatment over prevention.

But here's what they won't tell you.

Their degree taught them to identify disease.

It didn't teach them to identify dysfunction.

It taught them when to prescribe.

Not when to intervene before the prescription becomes necessary.

It taught them how to read a panel against ranges that tolerate illness

… not ranges that define health.

And the idea that education ends at graduation?

That's not confidence.

That's arrogance dressed as authority.

Functional blood work isn't the rejection of conventional medicine.

It's the extension of it.

It asks the question conventional training never did: what's happening between "you're fine" and "you're sick"?

Every biomarker taught is found in peer-reviewed literature.

Every range we use is derived from evidence-based research.

Every framework we have built on published science, not ideology.

The practitioners who call it pseudoscience haven't read the research.

They've just decided they don't need to.

“Everything looks normal.”
“You’re fine.”

And yet… you don’t feel fine.

Low energy. Brain fog. Mood shifts. Weight that won’t budge. Sleep that doesn’t restore you.

Here’s the truth: you live in your body 24/7. You notice the subtle changes. You feel the difference between thriving and just getting by.

Labs can fall inside wide reference ranges and still show patterns that explain why you’re struggling. But if no one slows down to listen — to you or to the data — those patterns get missed.

You deserve someone who:
✔️ Takes your concerns seriously
✔️ Reviews your labs beyond “in range”
✔️ Connects the dots
✔️ Builds a clear path toward your health goals

You are not crazy.
You are not dramatic.
And you are not “just getting older.”

If you’re ready to feel heard and supported, let’s work on this together.

Most people think of the immune system as something floating around in the blood.

But the majority of your immune system actually resides in your digestive tract.

Your gut isn’t just for digesting food. It’s home to:

• Immune cells that identify friend vs. foe
• The gut barrier that decides what gets absorbed and what gets blocked
• Trillions of microbes that communicate with your immune system daily
• Neurotransmitters (like serotonin) that influence mood and behavior

That lining inside your digestive tract? It’s a gatekeeper. It protects you from foreign invaders while allowing nutrients to pass through. When that barrier is strong, your immune system stays balanced. When it’s compromised, inflammation and reactivity can increase.

Your gut environment helps shape:
✨ Your immune resilience
✨ Your inflammatory response
✨ Your mood and stress response
✨ Even how you tolerate foods

This isn’t separate from who you are — it helps create who you are.

If the digestive tract is inflamed, overloaded, or out of balance, the immune system feels it.

That’s why when we’re working on hormones, fatigue, brain fog, or chronic symptoms… we almost always look at the gut.

Because health doesn’t start with suppressing symptoms.

It starts at the barrier. It starts with trying to figure out what your body is trying to tell you.

I can help you with that!

Quality vs price

“I can’t afford to eat healthy.”

But we can drop $15 on fast food without blinking.

I say this with love — because I get it. Convenience is easy. It’s fast. It feels cheaper in the moment.

But cheap food isn’t cheap when it costs you energy, focus, gut health, hormone balance, and long-term wellness.

Highly processed meals are engineered to taste good — not to nourish you. They’re stripped of real nutrients and loaded with additives that keep you coming back for more… while your body is left under-fueled.

Eating well doesn’t have to mean expensive superfoods or gourmet meals.

It can mean:
• Cooking simple whole foods
• Buying ingredients instead of packages
• Planning ahead instead of grabbing what’s easy
• Choosing protein and produce over a combo meal

When you know better, you have the opportunity to do better.

Your health is either an investment now… or an expense later.

And your body always keeps the receipts.

One of my favorite moments?

Reviewing a second round of labs and seeing markers that were previously outside optimal range… now sitting beautifully back where they belong. No recommendations to make.

That’s not luck.
That’s physiology.

The body is constantly working toward homeostasis. It wants balance. It wants to regulate. It wants to heal.

We just have to give it the right tools:
• Targeted support
• Proper nutrients
• Reduced inflammatory load
• Nervous system regulation
• Blood sugar stability

But here’s the part that matters most… 🧐

Supplements are not the finish line.

If we don’t rewire the thinking, eating, and lifestyle patterns that contributed to the imbalance in the first place, the body will eventually slide back into stress mode once the bottles are empty.

The goal isn’t dependency.
The goal is resilience.

When labs improve and habits improve?
That’s when real, sustainable healing happens.

It’s 👏 not 👏 just 👏 the 👏 thyroid.

When someone comes to me and their thyroid markers are off, that is NOT where we automatically start.

Why?

Because the thyroid is incredibly responsive. It reacts to stress. It reacts to inflammation. It reacts to nutrient deficiencies. It reacts to blood sugar swings. It reacts to what’s happening in the gut and the liver.

If the digestive tract is inflamed…
If the liver isn’t converting properly…
If iron, selenium, iodine, zinc, or B vitamins are low…
If the body is stuck in chronic stress mode…

The thyroid will respond.

So if we jump straight to medication without asking why it’s responding that way, we risk managing a reaction instead of addressing the cause.

Are there situations where thyroid medication is absolutely needed?
Yes.

But should we rule out upstream dysfunction first?
Also yes.

Because if the imbalance is a downstream effect, and we ignore the root, we’re doing a disservice.

The body works in systems — not isolated organs.

We always investigate upstream first.

Big news for Simply Cultivated Health 📣

This has been the vision from the very beginning… and we’ve finally arrived. 🙌

All consultations are officially transitioning to virtual only!

When I started this journey, my goal was always freedom and flexibility — not just for me, but for YOU.
Health support shouldn’t be limited by location, drive time, weather, or busy schedules.

By moving fully virtual, I can serve clients more efficiently, more intentionally, from farther distances and without the barriers of an office space.

This means:
✔️ No commute
✔️ More scheduling flexibility
✔️ Access to services from the comfort of your own home
✔️ The same in-depth lab analysis and personalized protocols you expect

The mission hasn’t changed. If anything, it’s expanding. 🌎

You can visit my website to see all current services and offerings, and if you have any questions about what this shift means for you — reach out. I’m happy to connect and guide you to the right next step.

This is growth. This is alignment. And this is just the beginning ‼️

When things feel hard… that’s usually the exact moment you’re being stretched into the next version of yourself.

Most people stop there.

They stop when it’s uncomfortable.
They stop when it’s inconvenient.
They stop when progress isn’t instant.

But here’s the truth — if you stop now, you’ll never know how close you were to the breakthrough.

Growth doesn’t happen when it’s easy.
Strength isn’t built when it’s convenient.
Clarity doesn’t come from quitting mid-chapter.

Sometimes the hard season is the turning point.
Sometimes the resistance means you’re right on the edge of something bigger.

Keep going.

Because the only way to guarantee you won’t reach the ending… is to stop writing the story.
