Quotes from the episode
- “I think a lot of people who end up in functional wellness have their own health issues that they solve. They figure out it’s so much more than what we have learned in the past about health.” -Hailey Rowe
- “If you’re guessing based on symptoms, you can guess incredibly wrong. So for me on my journey, I thought my estrogen was high, so I started to lower it. And by doing so, I lowered it too much. My estrogen wasn’t high.” -Sandie Gascon
- “Let’s focus on the body as a whole. We’re not just going to focus on your gut. But let’s run through the program, and we start by rebuilding and rebalancing the body and repairing detox pathways.” -Sandie Gascon
