Cheryl and I break down where to start when dealing with chronic illness, and why diet and environment come before testing and protocols. We discuss how an elimination diet helps quiet inflammation, why symptoms should guide your healing approach, and how factors like mold, detox pathways, and undereating can stall progress. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.
