What if your symptoms were actually your body's way of asking for help? In this powerful episode, Dr. Angela, a functional medicine expert, shares her unconventional journey into medicine and the moment she realized traditional healthcare wasn't enough. She dives deep into how immune dysfunction and fertility challenges are often misunderstood—and how addressing the root cause can be life-changing.

Dr. Angela breaks down the key differences between functional and traditional medicine, revealing why a holistic, whole-body approach is essential for real healing. She opens up about the dramatic changes women go through during and after pregnancy, the hidden toll of societal pressure, and how foundational habits like sleep, movement, and nourishment can unlock the body's natural ability to heal.

This conversation is an inspiring call to reconnect with your body, trust your instincts, and explore a new path to wellness that puts you—not your symptoms—at the center.
