In this solo episode, I’m breaking down the key differences between conventional medicine and functional medicine—how they approach health, why root-cause healing matters, and what I’ve learned on my own journey to keep myself happy and healthy.

I'll dive into the 7 daily habits I live by to keep my body and mind thriving:
✨ Prayer & Meditation
✨ Moving My Body
✨ Prioritizing Protein & Fiber
✨ Hydration
✨ Quality Sleep
✨ Sunlight Exposure
✨ Deep Connection with Others

These habits have been game-changers in my healing journey, and I’m sharing how you can implement them in your life too! Remember, it's ONE habit at a time, don't try to implement everything at once. That's a recipe for failure. Just try one and once you master that, add another, and another, and another. You get the point.

Hit play to learn how to take control of your health from a whole-body perspective. 💫
