Ever wondered how a journey from bartending to police work could lead to discovering the secrets of nutrition? Meet our guest, Debbie, whose diverse career path has now steered her into the world of functional nutrition. Debbie shares her personal and professional insights into the groundbreaking Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), a tool that might just hold the answers to my persistent fatigue. With her guidance, we explore the importance of understanding mineral levels and discover how they significantly impact our health and energy.

Our conversation takes an enlightening turn as we discuss the shift from quick-fix fad diets to empowering women through holistic nutrition and body image education. I recount my personal journey from criminal justice to becoming a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner, driven by a desire to support women facing perimenopausal and postmenopausal challenges. Debbie and I delve into the tailored strategies that address nutrient imbalances, emphasizing the transformative power of personalized nutrition plans and lifestyle changes.

We also explore the often-overlooked presence of heavy metals in everyday products and how they affect our health as we age. From identifying root causes of fatigue to navigating the complexities of mineral imbalances, we highlight the importance of individualized health assessments. Our discussion touches on practical strategies to manage conditions like hypothyroidism and adrenal fatigue, underscoring the concept of "food as medicine" and empowering listeners to make informed choices for lasting health and well-being.
