Functional nutrition testing isn’t just helpful—it can be life changing. In this episode of the Harmony with Food Show, Meg breaks down why so many people feel dismissed, misdiagnosed, or stuck with chronic symptoms despite “normal” labs and good intentions. From gut issues and fatigue to anxiety, inflammation, and weight-loss resistance, she explains why diagnosis does not equal resolution—and why guessing with diets and supplements often leads nowhere fast. This conversation dives into the power of microbiome, micronutrient, and food sensitivity testing, how the gut truly acts as a control center for the body, and why personalized, data-driven nutrition is the key to long-term healing. If you’re tired of being told to eat less, exercise more, or “just live with it,” this episode is your reminder that answers exist—and you deserve them.
