EP 06: [Special Edition] Root Member Story: Autoimmune Reversal with Root Medicine
Functional medicine can balance the brain and address underlying deficiencies, inflammation, and hormonal imbalances to restore overall well-being.
In this episode, Lindsay Buckingham, a Root Functional Medicine member, shares her journey from managing autoimmune conditions and thyroid issues with traditional medicine to discontinuing all medications through a functional medicine approach. She explains how Root's advanced testing uncovered key deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, and hormones, leading to targeted, effective treatment. Lindsay emphasizes the benefits of a holistic approach that addresses the root causes of illness, resulting in improved energy, sleep quality, and mental health. She also reflects on how functional medicine helped her navigate stress and anxiety during a particularly challenging time, a struggle she believes many people, especially women in the workforce, can relate to. Additionally, Lindsay underscores the potential for functional medicine to not only enhance individual well-being but also contribute to reducing healthcare costs for businesses.
