Ever wondered how to truly heal after giving up alcohol? In this episode of 'Tribe Sober', Janet sits down with Laura Gujadhur, a functional medicine coach who has walked the path of sobriety herself. Laura opens up about her personal journey, which began when a family member was diagnosed with depression, sparking her interest in holistic health.
She explains the core differences between functional and conventional medicine, emphasizing how functional medicine digs deep to find the root causes of illness rather than just treating symptoms. Imagine going to a doctor for a persistent rash and instead of just getting a cream, you’re asked about your diet, stress levels, and possible allergies. That’s the kind of thorough approach Laura advocates for.
She shares how personalized health plans and behavioral changes can make a significant impact, especially for those transitioning to an alcohol-free lifestyle. This episode is packed with practical advice and insights into how functional medicine can support long-term sobriety and overall well-being. If you’re curious about how to enhance your health journey post-alcohol, this conversation with Laura is a must-listen.
