Autoimmune Healing Success Story: How Courtney Contos Reversed Rheumatoid Arthritis and Hashimoto’s Naturally and Became a Functional Medicine Health Coach
In this episode, I sit down with Courtney Contos who shares her inspirational journey of resilience and fortitude. After years of living in a state of chronic pain, immobility, and taking powerful medications, Courtney trusted her intuition and found the right doctors to help her completely reverse her autoimmune diagnoses of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
Courtney is an accomplished Chef who was featured on the cover of Food & Wine Magazine, and a Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach who is on a mission to help others heal from their autoimmune disorders.
After Courtney shares her personal journey, we discuss when and why autoimmune symptoms start to appear in your life and key factors to consider when doing the work to heal.
Quote:
“Go to nature, you’ll find peace there, you’ll find answers there, you can listen to yourself. Start there.”
