Summary

On the search for answers about joint pain and stiffness in her hands, Susie came across functional medicine and our clinic. While she was aware of anti-inflammatory diets and other evidence-based interventions, she was struggling to find the right combination that worked best for her. By treating her—not her labs—we were able to provide her with answers to her initial questions, an actionable and effective plan, and get her symptoms under control. Listen in to hear how Susie used Elemental Heal, Triple Therapy Probiotics, fasting, and the autoimmune paleo diet to feel better.

pinpoint one specific thing that really made a huge difference. It really seemed like it was

everything in combination.

Hey everyone, this is Dr. Rucho. I'm here with Susie and she has had some good results.

0:59.6

And for the usual, I think it's helpful to try to share some of Susie's background and what she's been going through

1:06.8

so that we can all learn and really try to take as much away from these circumstances that we can.
