  • 133. Testing, Lab Results & Finally Getting Some Answers! Updates on My Personal Healing Journey
    2024/05/06

    Have you been dealing with chronic symptoms? Do doctors tell you it's all in your head? If so, you're not alone.

    I've had countless tests run over the years, tons of blood work, scans, ultasounds, and MRIs only to be told "Everything looks fine. You're healthy and perfectly normal." when I felt anything BUT fine and normal. In this episode I'll share the recent testing done and how I found out there's actually a lot going on under the surface that traditional doctors were missing.

    Why does this matter? Because maybe it's not "all in your head". Maybe you're not a bad mom or a bad Christian. Maybe there is an actual reason you're feeling this way. And more importantly, maybe there IS a way to heal and feel better! If you've been struggling for a while without answers I'm so glad you found this episode. Press play and let's get started!
