Metabolic dysfunction can truly encompass a range of what we’ve come to know as chronic illness or syndromal conditions. including chronic fatigue syndrom, long-covid, even autism, PANS, chronic inflammatory conditions. Alzheimer’s, autoimmune disorders, and even what gets diagnosed as mental health issues such as bipolar disorder and depression.

And while this can feel like a generalized statement and each presentation may combine individual systems differently, we can benefit from seeing these conditions not as unique but on a whole a malfunctioning that can be corrected when given the proper conditions.

Systems work together as a whole and this approach intends to look at the parts but see them in relationship to one another. For instance, when we heal the gut, we heal the brain and the whole system. There are not spaces that remain not-impacted. Up to eighty percent of our immune system is in the gut. This is huge. And overlooked by many in today’s health and wellness industries and doctor’s offices.

What are we going to do about this? If we continue to ignore it, our symptoms, syndromes and illnesses persist, and we continually turn to expensive protocols and funtional medicine, frustrating doctor’s visits and a medical system that won’t acknowledge chronic conditions or remains baffled, rabbit holes and even decades of investing in help that goes nowhere.

Tapping into the little time, money, effort, and energy we may have, let’s begin with where you are at get you on a pathy to truly healing from the ground up—literally, the terrain of your very being, your gut and microbes. And while this can all be customized to individuals, beginning even in a general way will start to shift you—so much so that thing will get easier and feel more natural as you heal. All of us are born into this modern world compromised—whether from our mothers, deficient environments and conditions such as our food supply, soil and modern world filled with stress, screens, indoor-living. We’ve all had exposures to toxins—some more severe than others—and suffer the downsides of antibiotics, vaccines, prescription meds, processed foods.
