Truly Healthy MD Podcast
Welcome to the Truly Healthy MD Podcast! I’m Dr. Monica Jauregui, a board-certified internist and functional medicine doctor. So many of my patients come to me after being told “everything looks fine,” but they still don’t feel like themselves. This podcast is about what happens next. We dig into the hidden drivers of chronic illness—like hormone imbalances, thyroid and adrenal dysfunction, gut issues, autoimmune disorders, mold toxicity, and more—and uncover how real recovery unfolds. If you’re looking for answers that conventional medicine hasn’t provided, this show is for you.
