If you’re struggling with a chronic health issue, the answer may be closer than you realize. Listen in on this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, as host Elizabeth Cush welcomes Andrea Nakayama, a functional medicine nutritionist, for a talk about the healthcare journey for highly sensitive women.

“Functional nutrition is a place for those addressing chronic health challenges to settle into a different way of approaching them.”
— Andrea Nakayama

  • The three primary tenets of functional medicine and their implications for highly sensitive women
