Teresa talks about Overcoming Multiple Health Issues with LDN and Functional Medicine.

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.
