Manage episode 445450870 series 2982348
An interview with Teresa, who has been dealing with multiple health issues,
including mold and hormone problems. Teresa's symptoms were severe, and she had
been struggling with them for over two years. When she was at her sickest,
Teresa had histamine intolerance, gut problems, and neuroinflammation. She also
experienced hot flushed red faces whenever she worked out, endometriosis-type
symptoms, diarrhea, increased heart rate, weakness, and jumbled thoughts.
Teresa sought help from multiple doctors
but found no relief. She had to go to functional medicine and naturopathic
medicine to get the help she needed. The doctors prescribed her supplements,
herbs, and homeopathics, among other treatments, to improve her health.
However, it took her some time to feel better despite adopting a healthy
lifestyle and following protocols. She learned about how to eat properly, take
care of her mitochondria, and improve her nervous system and relaxation through
meditation.
Teresa describes her typical day when she
was at her sickest, and it is a poignant story. She would wake up feeling either
nauseous or sweating and had to move her bowels frequently. Within two hours of
waking up, her heart rate would increase, and she would feel weak, forcing her
to sit down. Teresa had to work as an online therapist and tried to see clients
despite feeling unwell. She couldn't be around intense smells, go outside, or
eat without feeling sick or nauseous. Her life was limited, and she was
essentially homebound.
It wasn't until Teresa started taking LDN
that things started to improve drastically. Her functional medicine doctor
prescribed her LDN, which was initially a source of hesitation for her.
However, as she saw her roommate getting better after taking LDN, Teresa
decided to give it a try. LDN is a promising treatment option that has been
used for various health conditions, including autoimmune diseases, chronic
pain, and cancer. It works by boosting the body's natural immune response,
reducing inflammation and pain.
Teresa's LDN treatment was a turning point,
and she started to feel better. She felt less sensitive to smells and was able
to tolerate more foods. She started to gain weight, have more energy, and
exercise again. It took her a while to feel better completely, but LDN was the
key that unlocked her health. It is a testament to the power of functional
medicine and the importance of finding the right treatment for each person's
unique health condition.
