Hi everyone! We had a great office hours tonight where I put together an open conversation and presentation on foundations. We oftentimes overcomplicate our healing journeys and try all these things (supplements, diet changes, etc) without remembering how important the basics truly are! It's a good reminder to prioritize the things we often know we "should" be doing but sometimes forget to implement. This is your reminder to bring it back to basics, focus on the foundations, and to not get caught up in overcomplicating your healing journey :) you got this!

My name is Erin and I’m from Florida. I saw one of Dr. Stephanie’s instagram reels about lab work and I followed her, which is how I found this. I have struggled for a long time with weight cycling, hormonal acne, painful and unpredictable periods, and lots of vague but uncomfortable symptoms like muscle tension/tenderness and brain fog. I took the symptom decoder quiz and it looks like my top priority right now is insulin resistance. I am already trying to implement adjustments to my diet but this has been happening for so long that I really want to get a better idea of what is actually going on with me, and I’m excited to potentially get some answers along with solutions.

We ask because we have heard a lot in this community. And some of it deserves to be said out loud. "Your labs are normal." "It's probably just stress." "This is what happens at your age." "Have you tried eating less?" "Have you considered that it might be anxiety?" We hear these from women who are clinically literate, who have done their research, who have been demonstrating careers and households while feeling like a diminished version of themselves. You were not wrong to push back. You were not being difficult. You were right that something was being missed. And the fact that you are in this community means part of you never stopped looking for the right answer. Drop yours below. One sentence. What is the thing that was said to you that you knew was not the full story?

Hi! My name is Marsha and I am from Texas. I too saw one of Dr. Stephanie's ads on instagram and started following her. I have been struggling with digestive issues and hormonal issues and weight gain for over a year now. I am hoping to balance my hormones and fix my gut health to drop the weight gain and feel better.

Hi I'm Kelsey and I am in Central Illinois area. I am a Certified Mental Performance Coach. I came across this community from Dr. Stephanie's Instagram and found it curious. I immediately wanted to learn more. In the next 90 days, I would love to learn more about what is truly going on in my body and the root causes, not just the symptoms. Thank you :)
