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.

In this powerful episode of Holistic Health with Melissa, I sit down with Jeanette Marie of Jeanette Marie Apothecary—an herbalist, Reiki Master, Yoga Instructor, and Holistic Health Coach specializing in chronic illness, Lyme Disease, and food allergies. Jeanette shares her incredible journey of surviving Lyme Disease and tick-borne co-infections—facing near-death experiences four times—before reclaiming her health through holistic healing.
