Live Your Personal Best - Workout Motivation and Routine Building For Current and Former Athletes

96. You Deserve to Feel Healthy. How to Feel Your Best By Treating the Root Problem, Not the Symptoms

Listen Later

Did you know that diseases are better off treated from the root cause? And that many diseases are reversible, and you have the responsibility to take care of your mental and physical health. That is the meaning of functional medicine, which unlike, Western medicine, takes a look at the cause and history of your illness rather than treating the symptoms.

 

In this episode of the Live Your Personal Best podcast, I speak with Lindsey Elmore, a speaker, author, and world-renowned wellness expert. She helps people achieve lasting health and unshakeable wellness.

 

Listen in to learn how to get healthy by first learning to love yourself to allow health to come to you naturally.
