Today on Feminine Roadmap we are talking about getting to the root of chronic disease with Andrea Nakayama. Andrea’s approach to health care is process over protocol using a functional medicine approach. After losing her 34 year old husband in 2002 to a brain tumor, Andrea became determined to understand what lead to chronic disease. She wanted to understand how and why the body reacts as it does and to unlock our healing potential using the keys nutrition can provide. The gaps she encountered in the medical system fueled her desire to find a more holistic and healing approach. The fundamental tenet she bases her philosophy on is that all things matter. It’s important to look externally and internally at what is happening in and around you. Every system of our bodies are connected physiologically and contribute to our path to health. Andrea shares practical strategies and frameworks that help you along your health journey. She encourages therapeutic partnership with your health care provider, looking for root causes and using a systems based approach. The three tiers of Nutritional mastery and the three roots to our signs and symptoms are just a couple of powerful strategies. This episode is a fire hose of powerful information to help you sit in the driver’s seat of your whole health. Grab a cuppa something wonderful, a journal and get ready for an incredible conversation that could literally change your health and longevity.
