Your Health, Your Rules | The Personal Approach to Integrative Medicine with Dr. Cracroft

When medicine doesn't feel made for you, it's time to write a new story. 

This week, Dr. Mallorie Cracroft joins Tori to explore what’s missing in women’s healthcare—and how we can reclaim it through functional and integrative medicine. Whether you’re tired of feeling dismissed by conventional doctors or curious about natural, root-cause care, this episode will meet you where you are. 

As a  OB-GYN who left the traditional model to start a more holistic clinic, Dr. Cracroft shares personal and patient stories that illuminate the true potential of individualized care. You’ll learn why the gut-brain connection matters more than you think, how to manage perimenopause without fear, and why prioritizing your own wellness journey is the most powerful decision you can make. 
 
This episode is your reminder that “you get to choose what’s right for you.”
