Episode details:

What exactly is the difference between traditional medicine and functional nutrition? How can a functional-based approach elevate your well being? Cait is joined by Lauren Papanos, a registered dietician with her own virtual nutrition practice, to discuss the benefits of functional medicine & functional nutrition, particularly on how we can use these approaches & their tools to balance hormones. Hear Lauren’s story of self discovery through her own health journey, why she was drawn to functional medicine, and learn about some of the processes behind a functional approach to health & well-being.

Lauren Papanos is a Registered Dietician, Published Nutrition Researcher, and the Founder of Functional Fueling Nutrition, a virtual nutrition practice that offers lab testing and individualized nutrition & supplement protocols to help patients go from frustrated to high-functioning. Empowered with a Masters Degree in Integrative Nutrition and more than ten advanced educational trainings on hormone health and root cause medicine, Lauren cuts through the 'wellness' noise and makes data-driven information digestible so you can see what’s actually going on with your hormones - and understand how to heal yourself from within.

 

Show Notes:

-Intro to the NeuroSomatics Certification Program

-Lauren’s journey to functional medicine and holistic health; from pushing her body to its limits as an athlete to finding balance, healing and realizing how everything in the body/mind is interconnected; her desire to approach the “mysteries of health” in a holistic and big picture way

-The definition of functional medicine and how it differs from “traditional” medicine; traditional is solely focused on how to fix/stop progression of disease, whereas functional views the body as one whole connected system

-How a functional medicine approach works; the process and time it takes 

-Discussing hormonal imbalance and Lauren’s two reasons for it (inflammation and nutritional imbalance); how a functional medicine approach looks for the root causes

-Why finding what works for you personally is important when it comes to your health; sustainable habits/changes only come when you are aware of what you really want and an awareness of your own desires and expectations

-The role that stress plays in our healing processes 

-How to determine if/where there is infection, imbalance, and inflammation in the body 

-Foods/eating practices that can help balance hormones

-Bio-individuality is real; you can’t always follow an exact practice that you find on social media or that worked for someone else you know; it's also important to remember that what works can change over time
