Send us a textEmily Duhon, a pioneering nurse practitioner and owner of Renewed Vitality, joins us to share her transformative journey from conventional to holistic medicine. Her personal experiences have fueled a passion for addressing health issues at their core, rather than just managing symptoms. Together, we scrutinize the limitations of traditional healthcare practices, such as inadequate testing for hormones and toxins, and outline alternative approaches that promise a more personalized and preventative path to wellness. Emily’s insights reveal the often-overlooked potential of functional medicine, with its emphasis on comprehensive testing and individualized care that seeks to uncover the root causes of chronic conditions.In our conversation, the spotlight is on the profound impact of nutrition and lifestyle changes in healing, especially for women navigating perimenopause. Emily explains how these shifts can alleviate common concerns like stress, anxiety, and low sex drive by tackling hormonal imbalances head-on. Beyond hormones, we discuss the significance of avoiding endocrine disruptors in daily personal care products and suggest resources like Yuka and EWG to guide safer choices. By prioritizing holistic health practices and spending quality time with patients, Emily demonstrates how this alternative approach can offer meaningful improvements to overall well-being, challenging the status quo of American healthcare. https://cajunmamas.com/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@CajunMamasSarahttps://www.facebook.com/lllippyladyhttps://www.instagram.com/lllippylady/#https://www.tiktok.com/@lllippyladyKoahttps://www.facebook.com/kgmelanconhttps://www.tiktok.com/@koa.melancon
