Rooted for Healing | Kidney Disease, Heart Disease, Blood Sugar

Have you realized that adding in one more prescription is not the way to get you healing? Do you feel like your healthcare team doesn’t quite understand what’s making you sick? Are you tired of the shame that you feel when you are told that your health is getting worse and not better? And are you finally ready for a different approach- one that empowers you and fills you up and one that has God in the midst of your healing journey? I’m Karin Allumbaugh, functional medicine practitioner, Kidney Care Blueprint founder, and your host for the Rooted and Healing podcast. As a former pharmaceutical researcher, I recognized that there was another approach to more and more prescriptions in the quest to achieve health. And when my mom was diagnosed with kidney disease, I saw first hand the problems inherent with our healthcare system, I saw so many recommendations that didn’t make sense scientifically and I also recognized that this approach left little room for God in the midst. And that’s where the Kidney Care Blueprint came from. This podcast further expands on those things that will help you heal, with kidney disease or beyond- autoimmune disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or blood sugar regulation issues, and more. We’ll uncover the foods and nutritional strategies that help you to heal. We will uncover the root causes that are contributing to your symptoms. We will talk about what is wrong with your current approach with your doctors and healthcare team. And most importantly, we will uncover the alternative therapies, the herbal remedies and supplements, the lifestyle changes that you need to finally go from fearful to courageous, as you are empowered to rest in God’s truths for your healing journey.

Sarah was a client that taught me a lot about symptoms that sometimes don't make any sense.

She taught me that there is one misunderstood concept that lies right there in the midst of all of the most common health conditions currently. And when it's a factor, there can be a train wreck of other symptoms that come along as well.

That's what this episode is all about. I hope her story can give you some insight into your own hea...
