Are yearly wellness visits necessary? What should you be requesting if you go?

Dr. Forrest Sauer, gives us some insight from his experience in functional medicine. 

In this episode, we talk about whether or not annual checkups are necessary or helpful, and what he suggests doing for an annual exam (including recommended lab tests) if you are truly seeking health and wellness.

If you are going to “wellness visits” with your current doctor, you really need to listen in to understand why conventional doctors do visits the way that they do now, so you can advocate for yourself. 

He gives us some great insight on what we may need to look out for in our own health from what he is commonly seeing in his patients. And I loved his examples of how he has helped specific patients get to the root cause of their health problems.

What we discuss in this episode:

Brooke’s medical mystery saga that led her to see 50 doctors in 5 years.

At the end of seeking help from modern medicine, she was told to manage her pain. 

She rejected that and took her health into her own hands.

She shares what practitioners actually helped her, what some of those practitioners specialize in  and how she chose her next step in her healing journey along the way.

This led to her co-founding her own company, Gold Ivy Health Co.

With her newly regained health, she is now all about adding value to others with the wisdom she has gained about healing and wellness.

Looking back, she can see what the root causes of her illness were: mainly stress that had ruined her gut health.

Tests showed that she had parasites, an overload of bad bacteria, yeast overgrowth, infections, SIBO and mold toxicity.

Other than finding the right practitioners, mindset and a support system were a big part of Brooke’s healing journey.

Finally, we specifically discuss the connection between mental health and physical health, the mind-body connection. She shares several brilliant and practical things that she did to heal from anxiety and depression.
