There is a piece to this whole puzzle that has been baffling to me as a patient for the last decade.

For years, I have struggled to get past the biohacking “props” like thyroid and hormone support, along with so many supplements to support energy and help me with my symptoms…


We were damming the waters, but not uncovering why we needed a dam in the first place.  

I knew something deeper was going on, but I didn’t know how to uncover what that was.


And the doctors didn’t help. 

But even after I learned about upstream stressors, I didn’t know how to uncover what was going on with me …


Or what I should do if we found anything.


When you start asking around, you’ll find that very few functional medicine practitioners actually know how to go this deep and help you heal.  

Ashley Smith has been working with Dr. Dan Pompa for years as his head health coach, and she pulled out the stops with this interview to share her best tips with us!  In this interview, we’ll be tackling questions like…

What are upstream stressors and how do I properly test for them??

What should I be looking for when vetting for practitioners to help me?

How do I heal these stressors? 

I want you to feel empowered around finding someone who can help you in this journey. 

Most importantly, you are the person who’s ultimately responsible for your health. So I want you to be aware of the root causes of why 90% of us are dealing with symptoms. 

At the end of the day, it’s your body… and when you know what’s happening inside, you can take charge and create your healing.
