In this inspiring episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Functional Health Practitioner Dee Davidson sits down with her client Jayne, a vibrant, health-conscious woman who seemed to be doing everything right — clean eating, regular workouts, and all the “healthy habits” you’d expect.Yet behind the scenes, Jayne was running on empty — exhausted, moody, and frustrated that her doctors kept telling her, “Everything looks fine.”Together, Dee and Jayne unpack how functional lab testing revealed what traditional labs had missed: mineral imbalances, adrenal fatigue, and stress patterns that were quietly draining Jayne’s energy. Through targeted nutrition, mineral support, and lifestyle shifts, Jayne discovered that “normal” doesn’t always mean optimal — and that true wellness starts when you finally listen to what your body is trying to say.If you’ve ever felt dismissed by “normal” results but know something deeper is off, this episode will empower you to dig deeper and reclaim your vitality — one insight at a time.Ready to explore your own functional lab journey?Book a session with Dee here → https://calendly.com/confidentlyloveyourselfConnect with Dee on Instagram for daily hormone, gut, and mineral tips → HereDisclaimerThe information shared in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
