Summary

Is your body being robbed of vital nutrients without you even realizing it? In this conversation, Dr. Jess shares her journey from conventional medicine to becoming a functional health crusader after the medical establishment labeled her a "disruptive physician" for questioning hospital practices. When chronic stress and professional battles triggered her own health crisis, she discovered the shocking truth about how our bodies can become severely depleted – despite eating well. Her vitamin B and D levels plummeted, leading to crippling depression and brain fog that transformed her understanding of nutritional intervention. Here she reveals which trendy wellness treatments actually work and which are simply expensive marketing hype. Learn why your liver health might be the missing piece in your hormone balance puzzle, how bile production impacts everything from your mood to your weight, and why the supplements you're taking might be completely wasted if you're not using the right delivery method.
