The Healthy Diabetic

In today's episode, I got to sit down with Jordan Hostetler, a Functional Registered Dietitian who focuses on full body healing while getting to the root of your symptoms!

After earning her Bachelor's Degree, completing her 10-month Dietetic internship, and passing her board-certified registered dietitian exam, she worked as a clinical dietitian for five years in a long-term care facility.

After seeing how clinical nutrition worked and how food and lifestyle affected these patients and their health, Jordan knew it was time to switch to preventive medicine and help individuals understand how their food & lifestyle choices work together in healing the mind, body, and soul!

After 13 months of extensive training and education in evidence-based functional nutrition lab testing, she decided to take her career further by creating Blissfully Balanced Nutrition. In her practice, she sees a range of clients anywhere from chronic fatigue, autoimmune diseases, blood sugar dysfunction, hormone imbalances, GI issues, etc.

Rememberer, your only job as a diabetic is to figure out what will work for you!

Have you ever wondered if the annual or quarterly tests you get at your doctor or Endocrinologist's office are enough to give you real insight into your overall health? I know I have, and today I answer those questions.

I got to sit down with my good T1D friend and colleague, Registered Dietitian Kelly Schmidt. Kelly talks with us about the difference between conventional and functional labs and why it's so important to advocate for yourself. This episode aims to educate you on the different types of functional tests and empower you to ask for more than just the basic labs we get quarterly.

Kelly's Functional Tests:
Wheat Zoomer - (An At Home Test)
Additional Functional Labs
