In this episode of Harder Than Life, host Kelly Siegel interviews Rachel Scheer, a functional medicine practitioner specializing in gut health. Rachel shares her personal health journey, overcoming severe gut issues and turning to functional medicine when traditional approaches failed. She delves into the emotional and mental aspects of healing, offering practical advice on addressing root causes of health issues. This conversation highlights the power of self-awareness, inner healing, and how true wellness goes beyond physical health.


Key Takeaways:

• Healing is holistic: Rachel’s journey shows that healing the body requires addressing gut health, mental health, and emotional trauma.
• Functional medicine looks at root causes: It’s about solving the underlying problems, not just treating symptoms.
• Mindset is key: Perfectionism leads to burnout, while operating from a place of excellence and self-compassion promotes long-term success and well-being.
• Action and surrender: Balancing disciplined action with the ability to let go is vital to both personal and professional growth.
   

"The body holds onto emotions—healing means allowing them to surface and release without controlling them."
